摘要: Who was the young woman on the newspaper?

网址:http://m.1010jiajiao.com/timu_id_781017[举报]

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

  Last Friday,after doing all the family shopping in town,I wanted to have a rest before catching the train.I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop with a long table to sit at.I put a heavy bag down on the floor,put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place,and went to get a cup of coffee.

  When I came back with the coffee,there was someone sitting next to me.It was one of those strange-looking young men,with dark glasses,torn(破的)clothes and long hair.But I wasn’t surprised at such a young man.What surprised me most was that he had started to eat my chocolate!
