My husband and I married in a large country town. The morning after the wedding, we were going back to my parents’ home. As my husband was packing, I noticed he’d placed my 31 in the luggage crate(大木箱) on top of the car. I said that maybe he should 32 it. He turned and said, “It’ll be 33 . Trust me! It won’t come off.”

Halfway home we had a car come racing up beside us and the driver 34 us down. She said she’d seen a red suitcase on the side of the road several kilometers back and was 35 if it was ours. We looked 　36 and, to our 37 , discovered that the case had flown off.

　　　 We raced back, but the case was 38 . We visited the local police station, but as the road was a common link between several towns, we weren’t very 39 . We put it all down to our bad 40 .

　　　 Seven years later, my father got a(n) 41 from a lady asking if I’d lost a red suitcase. Her husband had 42 the case abandoned on the side of the road. He assumed he’d be able to find an address or name somewhere inside and 43 it later. On opening the case, they’d found the wedding cards, no address, and no way of 44 who we were. They’d spent seven years moving around the area, always taking the suitcase with them.

　　　 They were about to 45 again and decided to give it one more 46 before leaving. This time, on opening the jewellery box, they 47 a piece of paper folded up in it——my birth certificate. 48

that my parents were still in the district, they started to ring around. The suitcase was 49 returned to us.

　　　 This couple’s 50 and persistence(坚持) in finding us is truly admirable.

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye：Queen City Casket Company．“What is it?” I wondered．I 　36　 it over．There，in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled(手写的) 　37　. Immediately my mind traveled  38   many years．

   I was nine years old, walking down the cold，wet streets of Springfield，with a bag of magazines on my shoulder．On my   39  that day．I came to that Company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader，had always taken me there to ask his workers  40  they wanted any magazines．

    Shaking off the  41  like a wet dog．I entered Mr. Rader's office．After a quick glance ,he  42  me over to the fire-place．Noticing the  43   in the top of my  44   ，he said，“Come with me!”，pulling me into his pickup  45  ．we pulled to a stop before a shoe store．Inside，a salesman  46   me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had  47  seen．I  48  about 10 feet tall when I got up  49  them．“We’d like a pair of new socks too．” Mr Rader said．

    Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a  50   ，wrote something on it, and handed it to me．With   51  eyes，I read，“Do to others as you would have them do to you．” He said affectionately(深情地)，“Jimmy，I want you to　52　　I  love  you”．

    I said good-bye, and for the first time I  53    a flicker of hope that somehow things would be  54  ．With people like Mr Rader in the world，there was hope，kindness and love，and that would always make a   55  ．

Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that   21       people behave today.

Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the  22     people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t   23      about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no   24     . People had to live with their   25     and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more   26      to live where they want.

   Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect to be given jobs ---and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about   27    . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really   28      today.

    In conclusion I think there is hope for the   29      . This generation, like generations before them, has new   30       as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

“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.
