September 4
was my first day at Phillips
Academy, my new school.
It was also my 18th birthday.
I received a warm 41 from my host family--- the Steins. Gena was my host mum, and her daughter Lily would also be a
new 42 at Phillips. They took me to the school
and 43 me around the campus.
On our way to my dorm (学生宿舍), we saw a huge truck delivering a student’s
44 to her room. Many students at the school
were very rich, and they would fill their dorms with decorations(装饰物). But I was 45 not to because I thought it was a 46 of time and money.
I had a single room, which
was about the 47 of a Chinese college dorm --- the ones
which usually hold six people.
48 she helped carry my bags, Lily asked me, “What’s
your favorite 49 ，Teresa?”
I thought for a moment before
answering, “Orange.”
I didn’t know why she had asked
the question.
We 50 an introduction meeting after dinner. 51 of the students were native English
speakers, so I felt a little 52 .
I returned to my room after the 53
, tired and wanted to go to bed after a (n) 54
day.
When I opened my door, I found a
big 55 .The bed was perfectly made with
blankets and an orange sunflower pillow. On the 56 was a sunflower-pattern mat(垫子)while a colorful lamp 57 beside the bed.
I opened my mouth, 58 . How beautiful!
There was also a 59 card. I touched the little pillow on the
bed as I read the card.. A warm current (暖流)
rushed through my 60 .
