　　Summer is the best time on the Island of the Blue Dolphins (海豚). The sun is warm then and the winds blow out of the west,   16  out of the south.
It was   17  these days that the ship might return and now I   18 most of my time on the rock,   19  out from the headland（水中凸起的陆地） into the east, towards the country  20  my people had gone, across the   21  that was never-ending.
Once  22  I watched, I saw a small object which I took to be the ship, but a stream of water   23  from it and I knew that it was whale (鲸鱼)spouting (喷水). During those summer days I saw nothing   24 .
The first storm of winter   25  my hopes. If the white men's ship were   26     for me it would have come during the time of good   27 . Now I would have to wait  28  winter was gone, maybe longer.
The thought of being   29  on the island while so many suns rose   30  the sea and went   31  back into the sea   32  my heart with loneliness. I had not felt so  33  before because I was sure   34  the ship would return as Matasaip had said   35  would. Now my hopes were dead.

I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to  11  me．I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother，  12 to look at each other．Soon we lost the    13  and started playing with each other．
In the 7^th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was  14 family problems and I deserted her to be with the "cooler people" because they knew she had been a   15       person．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had  16 ．However，every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was too devoted in high school to   17 she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then 1 didn’t know why，but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed（诊断）with clinical（临床的）depression．At first，1 was very   18 ，but we still stayed in   19 ．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically   20 her and people were calling her   21 ，and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I  22 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were   23 me．”
We both cried．And I guess a kind of   24 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you desert them，you will only be  25 yourself. So if a friend needs you, and you care for them, you can never desert them.
