A Long Time to Waft

Rob tapped his foot on the ground impatiently(不耐烦地). His friend, Steve, should meet him in five minutes. They were going to meet and watch a movie together, and Rob didn't want to miss a single minute of the show.

Both of them really liked ______ and tried to see one almost every week, but lately Steve had been arriving later and later. Rob complained about late friends in a low voice while he waited.

Rob began pacing(踱步)back and forth. When pacing didn't ______ him, he started to look at his watch from time to time. There were only three minutes left before he went in without his friend, Rob decided. Pacing was making him more impatient.

He wondered why Steve couldn't be on time. He wondered what______ Steve would have this time. Last time Steve had said it was because his dad needed help in the garden. What would be this time? There was only one minute Left. Then he heard a familiar voice, " Rob, I ______it! " Rob turned around and saw Steve. "You made it, and you are on time, too! " Rob said excitedly.

"Of course, " Steve replied, "I really wanted to see this movie."

"Well let's go then." Rob suggested. He ______ for his wallet, so he could buy a ticket. Where was his wallet?

"What's wrong?" Steve asked.

"I don't have my wallet." Rob replied ______.

"Go check in your car."

"I might be late then." Rob answered, feeling foolish. Here he'd been standing around waiting, and he was going to be the late one now. He ran across the parking lot.

By the time he got his wallet from his car and bought a ticket, he'd already ______ the beginning and he didn't have time to get popcorn or a drink. Steve shared his popcorn, but Rob could hardly eat it. He felt guilty(内疚的)during the whole movie.

When the movie was over, he apologized to Steve. "I'm sorry, Steve. I was complaining about you being late, but then I was the one who was late."

Steve said. "Don't worry. It happens to all of us."

"I see that now. Thanks for ______. "

"That's what friends, for." Steve replied.

Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.

So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: he was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him that latest DVD of their favourite rock singer. But when she knocked on David's door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!
