Carly Zalenski’s eyes were filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. She and her parents had travelled to Ho Chi Minh City by plane from Canton, Ohio of the USA. As they became     to the village, hundreds of cheering      stood in lines at the      to the Hoa Lac School, a two-story building that Carly had      money for.

  Carly started helping      when she was eight. She often walked about to send Thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need. When she saw one girl      very little in a snowy day and others didn’t have warm     , she went door-to-door asking for      coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, then handed them     to the poor families with the baskets.

  However, Carly wanted to do     more—she wanted to “change these children’s     with her efforts”. She remembered that her grandmother’s Rotary club had collected money to build a     in Vietnam a few years ago. She wanted to build a school,      .

  She put together a short show on the people and culture of Vietnam to his audience.    her new braces(脚支架) made it      to make the speech, she was full of enthusiasm, “I want to give them a place to     their lives better.”

  That summer, Carly     with her family across Ohio, visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week. “We travelled like      people to all these meetings,” said her mother. In two years, Carly had raised $50,000. At the donation    in Hoa Lac, the school principal was deeply    by the little girl. “How wonderful it is,” he said, “that a girl at her age wants to do something for kids so far away.”

 I can still remember when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to  11  me.I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,  12 to look at each other.Soon we lost the    13  and started playing with each other.

In the 7th grade,I first lost touch with her.She was  14 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a   15       person.None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  16 .However,every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas,and talk about all the boys we liked.

It was last year when I noticed the problem.I guess I was too devoted in high school to   17 she needed someone there for her.Anyway,she made a new best friend and so did I.Then 1 didn’t know why,but she started cutting herself!

She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical(临床的)depression.At first,1 was very   18 ,but we still stayed in   19 .I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically   20 her and people were calling her   21 ,and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.

Yesterday she came to me and said:“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting.I  22 you so much,and you didn’t even know you were   23 me.”

We both cried.And I guess a kind of   24 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends.Even if they aren’t as cool as others,or people think they are crazy,they need someone there.If you desert them,you will only be  25 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.

The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to make a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.

Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she   36   her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37   grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.

As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried   38   her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently   39   it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat   40  , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a   41   roll down Mrs. Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs. Berry so upset.

When school was over, Elizabeth   42   until all the other kids left so that she could

“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it   47  .”

“Elizabeth, that was the __48   card in the whole class. It was so   49   that it made me cry.”

Elizabeth was so   50   that she ran out of the classroom.

When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth   51   to give her the card early. On the front of the card was a   52   of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:

Dear Mom,

I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)   53  . I want to thank you and  54   you a happy Father’s Day!

                                                        Love,

                                                       Elizabeth

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.

A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.

What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.

The insect moved round and round in one spot(地点). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.

By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.

As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.

And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.

Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.

I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.
