I met Jane Black in university, and soon we became friends.The first time I went to her home I found her family quite different from my own.
In my family, it was always important to place 1 when anything bad happened.
"Who did this? "my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
" This is all your 2 , Katharine, " my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher 3 .
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other.We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
4 ,the Whites didn't worry about who had done what.They picked up the pieces and 5 with their lives.The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car 6 from their home in Florida to New York.The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently 7 sixteen.Proud of having a new driver' s license, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.She 8 her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters 9 the driving of Sarah' s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached _10_ crowded areas, they let Amy 11 .Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat.After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel.She came to a crossroads with a stop sign.Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one would 12 know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping.The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.I was only 13 injured.The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died.Painful __14_ it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr.and Mrs.White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room.Sarah had a few cuts on the head and Amy' s leg was broken.They hugged us all and cried tears of 15 and of joy at seeing their daughters.They 16 away the girls' tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches (拐仗).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, "We' re so glad that you' re alive."
I was 17 .No blame.No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, "Jane' s gone, and we miss her 18 .Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back.But Amy has her whole life ahead of her.How can she _19____ a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister' s death?"
They were right.Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago.She works 20 a teacher of learning-disabled students.She' s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

I had planted different hot peppers in my garden. A Mexican fellow called Sam worked for me. He_36_ hot peppers, too. It was late summer and a beautiful sunny day. My son, Marcus, eight, and my daughter, Ellen, ten, picked several 37 hot peppers and entered our workroom, with their 38 .They wanted to see if Sam could 39 more hot peppers than I. After a little joking with them we agreed to the contest but they had to 40 ,too. That was not 41 terms for them so they left the room.
They 42 about an hour later with a new proposal and new hot peppers they had just picked. 43 they had reasoned that when a pepper was 44 in color it was the hottest kind. Marcus and Ellen would eat the green colored peppers 45 Sam and I would eat the red colored peppers. Giving Sam a wink(使眼色),we 46 . Showing good sportsmanship(体育精神),I had the kids 47 the peppers that Sam and I would eat. They picked the largest two red peppers. Then they picked a 48 green one for themselves. Knowing what was going to 49 ,I told them I would make it 50 for them. I cut one pepper in half and removed the 51 to reduce the heat a little. The contest was one of speed rather than 52 .Each child had pepper in hand and was 53 to start .
Looking at my 54 I said, OK, on three. One, Two, THREE. So much happened all at once. Tears, screams and spitting running around, the children 55 their mouth with fast waving hands. A short time later, Sam and I agreed that the red tasted better than the green.
