10、The year I went away to college was a very difficult
transition(过渡期)for me. 1 is
probably true with many people.I got quite homesick and
2 thought about going home.
Although the
3 time for many students is getting 4
from home, my mailbox was frequently 2 .
One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard 6
out at me.I sat down to read it, 7 a note from
someone back home. 8 I became increasingly puzzled as
9 postcard were like this: It was a full news report about a
woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and
10 about it.
Several days later I
11 another postcard, this one 12
news about Maybe line, Mabel’s cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another,
13 full of news of different people. I began to
14 look forward to the next one, 15 to see
what this author would come up with 16 . I was never
17 .
Finally, the cards
18 coming, right about the time I had begun to feel
19 about college life. They had been such a happy distraction (调剂) that, I have 20 all
the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a life.
