Worse still,Dad 2 a step and fell,sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn!”he screamed,his face turning red. I knew trouble was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns red, 4 !
How could I ever 5 him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls,girls I would have to spend the rest of the 6 with?Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出),as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 7 start.
“Enter the room quickly,”I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But then again,would there be a chair in Room 316?Or would it be a(n) 8 room?
Finally I turned the key in the lock and 9 the door open,with Dad still 10 about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, 11 the worst. But to my 12 ,the room wasn't empty at all!It had furniture,curtains,a TV,and even paintings on the walls.
And there on a wellmade bed sat Amy,my new roommate,dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod,she said in a soft voice,“Hi,you must be Cori.” Then,she 13 the music and looked over at Dad. “And of course,you're Mr.Faber,”she said, 14 .“Would you like a glass of iced tea?”Dad's face turned 15 less red before he could bring out a “yes.”
I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.

Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.
I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered was a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones(煎饼) and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.
One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words "Tea Leaves" caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.
I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones.It felt silly and wonderful --- and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed ly, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.
