“We’ve been good friends for so many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself， looking at Jack， my friend who was running across the  　36　  field.

How I wish I could join them！ But it was impossible because of the pain in my left foot， caused by Jack.

I first met Jack in a football match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were 　37　 ， Jack， who was watching， volunteered to join us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on， Jack and I often played together and became best friends.

But something happened before an important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many good players that we had to  　38　  the best ones. Jack and I were in  the same  team. The match was close in the first half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly， Jack  　39　  me. He slid to stop the ball， but collided  with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and was  　40　  the field. But what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry.  And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to  　41　  me from scoring， I felt even  　42　.

Now I stand here， with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to  　43　  those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are  　44　 . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins！ How excited I am！

 While I am still  　45　  in excitement， someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack， with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my  　46　  . But you see， Jason， we beat them！ No matter whether you joined in or not， you’ve made a contribution. Come on， let’s celebrate！” Suddenly， I am  　47　  by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates， I feel so happy. And I know the  friendship  between Jack and me will last forever.

        positive through the cold season could be your best         against getting ill, new study findings suggest.

In an experiment that         healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a         sunny characteristic were less likely to         ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help         the common cold and other illnesses.

Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less         by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune         to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may         their illness as being less severe.”

Cohen and his colleagues had found in a         study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.

For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who         be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,         those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses         either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the         reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected         data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

"This Friday we'll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge," said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. "You can work alone or with a partner."

　 My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects31_.

　 The　 32　　 of the Challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when　 33　 the stadium wall.

　 I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie.　 34　 the butter cream gave me an idea.

　 "I have a brilliant design for our 　35　　 container!" I said when Cassie arrived. "We can 36　 the egg with some butter cream."

　 "Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute (降落伞)　 37　 ?" Cassie rolled

her eyes, "The parachute is better than that stupid idea."

　 I couldn't believe it. Of course we'd had our little　 38　 in the past, but she'd never called any of my ideas"　 39 "before.

　 "Then I'll build mine and you build yours!"

　 　　40　 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.

　 When Friday finally arrived, I had to　 41　 Cassie's Egg Force One looked pretty good. 42 , my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn't look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived 　 43　 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.

　 After four rounds, only Cassie and I were　　 44　 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say "ew" after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the　 45　 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells (蛋壳) from those 　 46　 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.

　 "That looks like egg drop soup, Laura," Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 47 _ raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket　 48

　 "My egg bounced 　 49 _," she explained, pointing to a broken shell.

　 "A tie （平局)," Mr. Baker said.
