There’s a small cross by the side of Highway128, near the town o Boonville. If this cross could talk, it would tell you this 16 story:
Seven years ago my brother, Michael, was at a friend’s farm. They decided to go out for dinner. Joe arrived and 17 to drive—after just one 18.
19, the four friends traveled the winding road. They didn’t know where it would end ---- 20 did. Suddenly, they turned 21 into the opposite lane(车道), running into an oncoming car.
22 home we were watching E.T. on video in front of a warm fire. Then we went to bed. At 2:00 am a police officer 23 my mom with the shocking 24. Michael had been killed.
In the morning, I 25 my mother and sister crying. I stood there 26. “What’s wrong?” I asked, rubbing my 27 eyes.
Mom took a deep breath. “Come here…”
Thus began a difficult 28 through grief, where all roads lead to nowhere. It 29 hurts to remember that day.
The only thing tat helps is telling my story, 30 you will remember it 31 you want to get into a car with someone who has had a drink ---- even just one drink.
Joe chose the road to 32. He was convicted of manslaughter(过失杀人罪) and served time. However, the real punishment is 33 the consequences(后果) of his actions. He left us 34 and ache in our hearts that will never go away, a nightmare that will 35 him--- and us ---- or the rest of our lives. And a small cross by the side of Highway 128.

Work is a part of living —my grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs , pigs and cattle for meat . Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.
The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”
Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.
Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be a help to me . And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.
Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.

At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Blackburn Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.
"I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative," he says, "I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go".
Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
"Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college."
Friends believe that Blackburn will make £ 1 million within 5 years. He is not quite so sure, however. "There's a lot to be done yet," he says.
