  I can still remember when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to   1   me.I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,   2   to look at each other.Soon we lost the   3   and started playing with each other.

  In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her.She was   4   family problems and I deserted her to be with the   5   people.None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had   6  .However, every summer we   7   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   8   devoted in high school to   9   she needed someone there for her.Anyway, she made a new best friend and so did I.Then I didn’t know why,   10   she started cutting herself!

  She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression.At first, I was very   11  , but we still stayed in   12  .I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically   13   her and people were calling her   14  

  Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was  1 5   you were the only person that would stop me cutting.I   16   you so much, and you didn’t even know you were   17   me.”

  We both cried.And I guess a kind of   18   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   19   there.If you desert them, you will only be   20   yourself.

More good things come from small things

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any   36  from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.

We   37  often in the hallways when we were coming or going. I  38  spoke, but the only   39  I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.

I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I   40  they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door   41  for the others. I  42  in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed(冷落). The parents were   43  her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was   44  holding the door open,  45  for me.

I hurried as much as I could and   46   her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I   47   the little girl and said to myself, “I   48   she would like that” so I bought it. I wrote a note   49   how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s   50  .

The next day there was a   51    on the door and   52  was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I   53   her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me.

Now when we meet in the hall we all speak, and in a   54   manner, I might add.  55   time passes, I don’t hear that shouting as often. In fact, hardly at all.

Valentine’s Day is named for Saint Valentine an early Christmas churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.
More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they sent each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also sent gifts, like flowers of chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some used another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short “Jane, I love you very much”. Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever. May.”
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States, and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.

This is the letter that Mr. White wrote before his death about his three books for children:
Dear Reader:
I receive many letters from children and can't answer them all -- there wouldn't be time enough in a day. That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter. I'll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That's how the story of Stuart Little got started.
As for Charlotte's Web, I like animals and my barn(谷仓) is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig's life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation(拯救) on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)
Sometimes I'm asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early -- as soon as I could spell. In fact, I can't remember any time in my life when I wasn't busy writing. I don't know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction is trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.
Some of my readers want me to visit their school. Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. Much as I'd like to, I can't go visiting. I can't send books, either -- you can find them in a bookstore or a library. Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. This is not true -- books are made by the publisher. If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. That's why I can't send books. And I do not send autographs(亲笔签名,手稿) -- I leave that to the movie stars. I live most of the year in the country, in New England. From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. I live near my married son and three grandchildren.
Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family doesn't have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet(喇叭,小号) . But real life is only one kind of life -- there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too -- truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.
Yours sincerely,
E.B. White
