Not long ago I wasn’t doing very well in exams and I was full of disappointment and negative thinking. While on the  36 , I met many new friends, but one in particular  37 . His nickname is Colorful Day and we 38 on the Web. He told me he lost his 39 at age 15, and felt the whole world had closed its door to him.

   He was 40 so fast that I couldn’t believe he was blind! But he continued to 41 , “Five years ago, I realized it was time to change my life. I had read about Helen Keller and understood her life and 42 . So I developed a website about her life 43 mine called Three Days to See.”

   I visited his website which was well 44 and vividly presented.

   I asked, “How did you  45  to build such a website?” he said, “Owing to the new technology, I can use software specially  46 for the blind. 47 I point the cursor(光标), it will just read it out to me. We can do far more things and 48 more information than we could before.”

  I then asked, “Didn’t you have great difficulty with it?”

   He hesitated and then began his 49 with a smiling face, “Yes, but I have faith in myself to 50 my colorful day, and modern technology gives me this medium and 51 to do it.”

   His 52 attitude towards life made me believe that our fate offers not the cup of despair, 53  the chalice (大杯) of opportunity, I returned to my lessons, and this time with a smile on my face and with 54 of a colorful future.

The Internet, which opened to me to 55 different lives and cultures, has a charm you couldn’t find in another wise non-virtual world.

US students push parents’limits

  In the US, only teenagers have curfews(宵禁).They are the battle line in the age-old struggle between kids who want more freedom and parents who don't want them to go.I was no exception.

  I never minded my curfew until my senior year of high school when many of my friends moved out of their parents' house and away to school.

  I visited the ones who still lived close, but I had to head home when their fun was just starting.My curfew felt like a prison sentence.I began counting down the days until freedom.

  My release came with college.With my parents a safe four-hour drive away, no one cared if I came crawling back to my dorm room at 1∶30 a. m. or 2∶30 a. m. or 6 a.m.

  Freshman year parties were the best.Every weekend, I and a group of friends went out to parties.I never mattered if we were invited.A bout 10 p.m., we met outside the residence halls, climbed up away from the dorms, moved quietly past the dark lecture halls, and ran down the town's main street into the student section.The freedom to stay out to 5 a.m. going from house party to the bars thrilled us.The following afternoon, we'd gather in the cafeteria and exchange war-stories from the night before reliving every detail.

  By the spring, my circle of friends had fallen apart.I had a new off-campus friend.Other members had started quarrelling and moved to other friends.The parties weren't as exciting:the beer was warm and cheap, the music repetitive and the guests too familiar.The no curfew life became boring.

  Years later as a senior, my roommates and I threw a party in our own messy apartment.A whole new class of uninvited freshmen came.As the party died down, some stayed in our living room among the empty beer bottles at 4 a.m.

  “Your party was so cool,” some 18-year-old art major told my roommates and I.“You guys are so cool,” “Yeah,” we said, tidying up the room.“We know.”
