The Girl with the Cut - out Face

When I was a child, I often looked through a family album. I remember asking my mother why there was a   36   cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was   37   that my mother did not want to talk about it.

  38   I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and   39   about it. I figured there was something   40   . When I was grown up and had almost   41   about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her   42   . She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is   43   your Aunt Anna. She has schizophrenia（精神分裂症）.”

But why did my mother never   44   this before? I still didn’t understand. “Because people are… were…   45   of having mental illness in the family” was the   46   . But I wanted to meet Aunt Anna, and I   47  .

My mother and I traveled to the house   48    Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs,   49   she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the   50   to my mother. “So nice to meet you,” she said to me. “Do you have a trunk （象鼻；行李箱）？”

Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run   51   and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that   52   her said that she always wanted to   53  .

The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.

  54   Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m   55   about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.

And you finally found that escape you were seeking.

Dear Ralph,

I'm a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. ＤBefore my classmates, it seems always difficult for me to do things well as            them. I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel unhappy every day. Besides, I have few friends. I don't know that they don't like to talk with me.

Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn't seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do?     

Yours,

Xiao Wei

I went to a birthday party and I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink at all, so I had a Sprite(雪碧)  36  . I felt proud of myself, that I didn’t choose to drink and drive  37  some friends said I should.

I knew I made a wise  38 . Your advice to me was right. As the party  39  ended and the kids drove out of sight, I got into my own  40 , sure to get home at once, never  41  what was coming — something I  42  least. Now I’m lying on the roadside, and I can hear the policeman say:“The kid that caused this accident was  43 .” His voice seems far away. My own blood (血) is all around me. I try hard not to  44 . I can hear someone say: ”This girl is going to die.”

I’m sure the guy had no idea while he was flying  45 . Because he chose to  46 and drive, now I will have to die. So why do people do it since they know that it ruins  47 ? But now the pain is cutting me  48  a hundred stabbing（刺痛的）knives. Tell my sister not to be  49 , tell Daddy to be brave, and if possibly I have to see  50 , put “Daddy’s Girl” on my grave（墓穴）.

Someone should have  51  him that it’s wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his mom and dad had done so, I wouldn’t be like this. My  52  is getting shorter. I’m getting really scared. These are my final  53  and I’m so  54  .

Childish Voice

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36   had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39   to express my own   40    on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41   experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43   youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45    our will. We can’t force life    46    our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48   the world. I think we should learn to accept   49   life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to   50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51   that they slip by and leave you feeling   52   . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54    . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.
