(2009年东北三校第二次联考)

I first met her on the beach near where I live.I drive to this beach a__1__of three or four miles,whenever I’m feeling down.At that time she was__2__something.

Looking__3__,she said,“Hello.” I nodded,not wanting to__4__with a small child.

“I’m Wendy and I’m building something,” she said.

“I see.But what is it?” I asked,not__5__.

“I don’t know.I just like the__6__of sand.”

A sandpiper (矶鹞鸟) flew by.

“That’s a__7__.Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy.”

“Good­bye,joy,”  I thought to myself,“hello,__8__.” and  walked  away.My  life  then  seemed completely out of__9__.

“Come again,” she called,“and have another__10__day.”

But the days and weeks that followed__11__to other people:naughty boys and a__12__mother.One morning I suddenly realized I needed my__13__and headed for the beach.The breeze was cool,but I walked along,trying to recapture (捕捉) the inner peace I needed.I had almost__14__the child so I was surprised when she appeared.

“__15__do you live?” I asked.She pointed toward a summer cottage.

Then one day,I rushed to my beach in great pain,even in no__16__to greet the girl.“If you don’t mind,” I said coldly,“I’d rather be__17__today.” She seemed unusually__18__ and out of breath.

“Why?” she asked.

“My mother died!”

“Did it hurt when she died?”

“Of course it hurt!” I shouted,misunderstanding her.

When I next went to the beach,she wasn’t there.Feeling__19__,and admitting I__20__her,I went up to the cottage.A woman answered the door.“Wendy,my daughter,died last week.She had leukemia (白血病).Maybe she didn’t tell you.”
