Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt. Her parents gave her   36 she wanted, knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾气)if they did not. She would scream and kick and  37 on the floor drumming her heels. Her parents always   38 .
That was why she was alone on the  39 , wearing an expensive swimsuit. It has taken a massive tantrum to  40 her parents to buy it. They were back at the beach-house, 41 from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving  42 . “Dangerous?” she had said. “You just don’t want me to have  43 . I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing ?” a voice asked. Diane jumped. She did not know that the man was there 44  he spoke .
“I’m going diving, ” she answered.
“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” the man  45 . “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own   46 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be  47 ,” the man called after her. She did not bother to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived   48  until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to  49 against the current (水流). Saltwater hit against her face, making it  50 to breathe. Oh, why had she not listened to advice.
Panicking, she began to  51 . Then, just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, she heard a  52 voice. “Hold on ! I’m coming.” With  53 , she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in  54 , ” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her over the side of the  55 . Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial(财政的)package.
The cost of Dream School’s tuition(学费), room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus (校园)including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
