I
climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with
two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely.
Worse still, Dad 2 a
step and fell, sending my new suitcases
3 down the stairs.
"Damn!" he screamed, his face turning red. I knew 4 was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns
red, 5 !
How
could I ever 6 him to finish unloading the car 7 screaming at me and making a scene
in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the 8 of the year with? Doors were opening and
faces peering out (探出), as Dad walked
9 close behind. I felt it in
my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 10 start.
" 11 the room quickly," I thought. "Get him into a chair and
calmed down. " But 12 , would
there be a chair in Room 316? Or would it be a(n) 13 room?
14 I turned the key in the
lock and 15 the door open, with Dad 16
complaining (抱怨) about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in, expecting
the 17 . But to my 18 , the room wasn't empty at all! It
had furniture, curtains, a TV, and even paintings on the walls.
And
there on a well-made bed sat Amy, my new 19 , dressed neatly. Greeting me
with a nod, she said in a soft voice, "Hi, you must be Cori. " Then,

Mr. Faber," she said,
22 "Would
you like a glass of iced tea?" Dad's face turned decidedly 23 before he could bring out a
"yes. "
I
knew 24 that Amy and I would be 25 and my first
year of college would be a success.
