Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
　　Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. However, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words from their boyfriends.
　　I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
　　One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.
　　Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
　　My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.

　 A Good Friend, A Second Self

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt, my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 　36 .

That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 　37 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t been 　38 for a part on stage, his job with the set crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 　39 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.

“You can do it.” He said. I knew I could 　40 him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we 　41 a good team.

Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While working hard with the set crew, Kevin 　42 spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 　43 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.

Three days before the 　44 night, everything was ready for the performance. But when I woke up 　45 a fever and sore throat on the day of the play, the entire production came to a sudden 　46 . Everyone in the drama department was worried, 　47 there was no way I could perform. The play was 　48 to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel. I tried to think of a way to 　49 . Then it hit me – Kevin knew the 　50 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermitt to give her my 　51 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood onstage in costume and makeup. The amusing lines he had 　52 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 　53 the day for everyone by working as a team.

Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have 　54 my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely 　55 to have such a good friend.
