Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

  When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.

  Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

  One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.

  She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”

  Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

完形填空。

  I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago.I'm the mid-field player in my team.But in fact that's not   1   now.I was the mid-field player because,as I said,this was my   2   game.That's a good way to end a high school football career(生涯),especially if you win,but even though you don't,it's   3   to leave at a high point.

  I was eight when I first started playing football.My dad   4   football,and he used to practise with me at home-passing,catching and running.We used to practise almost every evening   5   it got too dark.He tried to teach me everything he knew about the   6  .“Just remember:don't ever   7  .”

  “Stay in the game.Don't lose your concentration(专注).”

  “Go out there and give 110 percent(百分之……)every time.”Well,that was a long time ago,but I still hear his words   8   in my ears.

  I had a lot on my mind   9   the game today.I don't like things to end,I guess,and this was the last game.I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do.I didn't sleep at all   10  ,and when the sun came up this morning,I reached the point where   11   just wanted it all to be over,finished,done.But then when the game started,my mind became   12  .I just lived in this game,this moment.I didn't hear the crowd;I didn't feel the cold or the pain;I never felt tired.I just kept my eyes on the   13  ,and it was just me and the ball and,inside,a soft,white light   14   me the way to the goal.It was a beautiful,empty feeling.

  It's all over now,and it's really getting cold here.It's starting to snow.The sun's almost gone,and I can   15   see the goal.Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone.Well,I guess it's time to say good-bye and move on.
