Charles and I used to hang out all the time, together with a few other guys, but he seemed too cool for us lately. We couldn’t understand the 36 _, and we didn’t ask him for an explanation. 37 , we decided to 38 him a lesson in the way he treated us.

Once we started giving Charles the 39 shoulder, almost everybody was taking no notice of him. He looked so 40 , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria (自助餐厅). Now and then he nodded and said, “Hey!” when 41 passed his table, but all he got 42 return were mean looks and silence.

At first I was glad my plan had 43 , but Charles’ unhappiness made me upset. I only wanted him to know 44 it felt like to be blown off, but I hadn’t thought about how badly my “lesson” would 45 him.

During one lunch period, I 46 as Charles repeatedly glanced at his watch, obviously 47 the minutes until he could leave the cafeteria. I suddenly realized I had done wrong.

“Hey! Man. I’m terribly sorry.” I called out.

Charles turned around 48 , clearly wanting to avoid eye contact.

“Oh, so you are talking to me now?” he asked.

“I’m so sorry, 49 I had thought that you wanted to end our friendship.” I said.

“What?” he nearly shouted, looking much 50 . “I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.”

“Oh, my God! Why would I want 51 ?” I shouted , completely puzzled.

Clearly, we both had been 52 each other wrong.

At first Charles couldn’t accept my 53 . I knew he needed time to 54 all the hurt I’d caused him. But eventually, he did forgive me. We even started hanging out together 55 . And our friendship wasn’t destroyed at all.

I was sitting at the counter having breakfast at a restaurant the other day．It' s a small place． A man walked in and sat next to me．On top of the milk-dispenser （自动售货机） is a small 1_ placed there for both the customers' enjoyment and the owners when things get   2 The news was mostly about the local people．There was a little girl   3  through some coats in a shop on the screen now．The reporter asked her if she found something that   4  ．She smiled, "I like this store．Mommy said I could have any coat I wanted,   5  I'm getting this one for my friend, Mandy．All I know is that Mandy   6  a coat．"
Out of the comer of my eye I could see the man lower his head and begin to   7  his eyes．"Hey, don't feel bad," I told him．He turned 8  me．I could still see the   9  ．
He said, "I'm Mandy' s father．That's the first time I've seen that．"
Oh, my God! My hands   10  and I also wept．"It must be raining," he   11  ．We spoke for a few more minutes．It turns out that he' s been   12 for more than a year and now does odd （零散的） jobs to pay bills．We said   13  and I went to the cash register．I said in a low voice that I   14  his check．"He only gets coffee," the 15  said．"Well, here．This is for my meal, his coffee and tell him this is for Mandy．"
Many years ago I spoke at my friend' s church in Atlanta．A woman came up to me and gave me everything she had in her 16  ．I was shocked and began to   17  it．"It isn't very much , but God said it would multiply．Please take it," she said．
It was $ 57．I   18  carried it with me until that very day．I gave it away and replaced it． I turned to walk away and another man sitting at the counter said, " I heard your 19  with that man．I'll help him,   20  ．"

“REMOVE from friends.”
This is no ordinary button. One click and I have the power to erase a person from my life.
In late fall, I had around 400 friends on Facebook. Today, I have 134.
Click. Make that 133.
When Facebook first entered my life in 2005, I panicked（恐慌、担心） that my friend count was too low. If I wasn’t properly connected, how would anyone see my clever quote(引语)? Who would wish me a happy birthday? I accepted and sent out friend requests without a second thought and soon accumulated 391 friends.
There is an appeal to being able to communicate with someone or just “thumbs(拨动手指) up” a photo rather than make real conversation.
“It’s comforting and it’s easy,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, who studies the way people communicate online.” There’s a sense of belonging in it. It’s a sense of community in a generation where community has sort of (有点)disappeared.”
However, I don’t talk to half of these people in the online community. There are some I would avoid if I met them on the street.
Click. 132.
I decided to rid my account of any “friend” that…well, wasn’t. Sound easy? You try it.
Look at who you’re dealing with: family, friends, classmates, crushes(爱恋的对象), acquaintances…
With every click of the “Remove from friends” button, you risk burning a bridge, losing a contact and missing an opportunity. So every time I go to click the button, my heart hurts.
However, I’m not the only one who has experienced a Faceboook friend refreshing. The New Oxford American Dictionary announces its “Word of the Year” each year, and last year, “unfriend” made the cut (入围) (though I’ll still stick with “defriend”).
When I started my mission(任务), a few friends joined. Most were surprised by how easily they could cut hundreds of connections without thinking twice.
“Oh my God, I defriended like 600 people today. I feel so good!” my friend Sarah messaged.
Dana, a close friend from high school, and I battled it out to see who could get our counts lower. She wins at 123.
To some, it’s poor “netiquette(网络礼仪)” to defriend. But to me, it’s the stage of life when we hold onto the people who count, the people who impact you.

I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.

“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“What did you do?”

“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“You just stood there?”

“Didn’t sell a single one.”

“My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
