I stood in the doorway，watching my older brother carefully putting clothes into his bag．I coughed uneasily．Finally  1   that I Was there，Rocky turned toward me with a sad smile.

   “I’m leaving tomorrow．”He said．

   “I know．”My  2  was almost a whisper(低声)．I was angry at myself for being so weak, but I Wasn’t about to cry．

    “My  3  is early，so there is still enough time to come to the airport，”he said．Seeing the  4   look on my face，he quickly added，“I promise(答应)1 won’t leave without saying goodbye．”

    I tried to say  5  ，but didn’t．It’s always better to keep quite if you’re about to cry． “You promised you wouldn’t cry，”he said to me，thinking that I was close to tears(流泪)．

    I remember the day he taught me how to ride a bike．  6   I thought he was always right behind me，holding the seat to keep me from   7  ．I was happy with this，but he knew he couldn’t hold me up all my life． He told me that one day he would have to let go．

    His coughing stopped my thinking．What was left to say? How could I say  8  to the person who taught me everything?

    The next morning I  9  looked at my alarm clock, and I realized he had left

10  ago．We never even said goodbye．

    Goodbye，Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away，I knew he heard me，even if it was only an answer in his heart．

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, I was late, and I was driving 31_________.
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was 32_________ on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned 33_________, and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, 34_________ there I sat, waiting for the light to 35_________, the only human being, for at least a mile in any 36_________.
I started wondering why I 37_________ to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was 38_________ no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no 39_________ in going through it.
Much later that 40_________, after I’d met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 41_________ me. I think I stopped 42_________ it’s part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other.

I was so 45_________ of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell s someone.
