Friendship has great power, and it can inspire the people in trouble as well as in easy circumstances.

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've   21     just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I   22   to a new town several years ago, we've both always looked forward to   23   times a year when we can see each other.

  Over the weekend, we   24   hours and hours, staying up late   25   the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he   26   with drugs and was into other self-destructive[自毁]  27  . I was blown away! She told me how she had been   28   to her parents about where she was going and even sneaking out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter   29   hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

  A few days   37  , she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our   38  , and then she told me that she had  39   with her boyfriend.

On a BA flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She called a stewardess (女乘务员) over to complain about her seating.

“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess. “Can’t you see?” she said, “You’ve sat me next to a kafir(异教徒). I can’t possibly sit next to this disgusting man. Find me another seat!” “Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied. “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do — I’ll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.”

The woman cocked a snooty look at the black man beside her.

A few minutes later the stewardess returned with the good news, which she delivered to the lady, who could not help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin. “Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I’ve spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.”

Before the lady had a chance to answer, the stewardess continued, “It is the most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous(令人不能容忍的) that someone should be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious(讨厌的) person.” Having said that, the stewardess turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you.”

At that point, the surrounding passengers stood up and gave an ovation(喝彩) while the black man walked up to the front of the plane.
