We liked each other the first instant we met.37  ,I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to  38   an Ivy League(常春藤联盟)school.Billy did not 39  into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40  teenage love.I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会).It was understood that we had  41  about where we would dance and drink and party together.

    This meant one thing to my parents-panic.And it grew as the  42  letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to,nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college   43  in historic Providence,Rhode Island.

    There was no  44  that I was drawn to Brown,but Billy (who had joined the army)was  45  down south and I had offers   46  for me there,too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  47 

    One week   48   the start of school,my mother had a talk with me.She said I was eighteen years old and I had a  49  to make---one that went  50  beyond the choice of  51  to attend university.

    In August,I  52  and drove north to Providence.It took several months to  53  that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy's,Brown changed my life,opening doors and giving me the  54  I now use to think,to learn and to write. Life is always about  55  it seems,and the older I get,the more I understand this. Still,there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

  “Oh, yes,” she said, “Would you please show me how to use the TV? I   6   the soaps so much and I don’t want to get   7   on what’s happening.”Connie was a romantic.She loved soap operas(肥皂剧), romance novels and movies with a good   8   story.As we became familiar, she confided how   9   it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman”.

  “Oh, I know Bill loves me,” she said, “but he has   10   been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me.”She   11   and looked out of the window at the trees in the courtyard.“I’d   12   anything if he’d say ‘I love you’, but it’s just not in his   13  .”

  One day,   14   coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the   15   of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get sentimental cards and love letters.

  “Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked, and he looked at me   16   I was crazy.

  “I don’t have to,” he said.“She knows I   17  !”

  “I’m sure she knows,” I said,   18   over and touching his rough, carpenter’s hands, “but she needs to hear it, Bill.She needs to hear what she has   19   to you all these years.Please think about it.”

  We walked back to Connie’s room.Bill   20   inside, and I left to visit another patient.Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed.He was holding Connie’s hand as she slept.

“This is my friend's right thumb. The dogs ate the rest of him”. The old man began to cry. He finished his coffee quickly and left the cafe. I drank mine and called the waiter. “I'll pay the gentleman's bill. His poor friend—how terrible!”“You've heard the news?” The waiter laughed. “Sure. There's a hole in the bottom of the match box. He put his own thumb through the hole. The blood is red ink, I believe. Is the story worth a cup of coffee, sir?”“But he held the box in his right hand.”“Yes, but listeners look into the box. They just can't take their sight off that terrible thing.”“And when he tells the story, he gets free cup of coffee!” I said, laughing. “Yes, sir, but only from strangers who come to this town, and, of course, he does us no harm!”?
