Last Saturday I    56    (收到) a letter from my cousin, Li Bin. He is an engineer. He works in a car   57   (公司). He has  58   (已经) visited many different places in China. But he has never been abroad(国外). He will

  59  (飞行) to Melbourne next Friday. I was told that last night he was too excited to fall   60   (睡着) because of the trip. It made me think of my first stay in Melbourne, which is regarded as the   61   (最好的) city to live in. I especially like the city because the weather is   62   (两者都不) too hot in summer nor too cold in winter. The environment is both clean and beautiful. There are about 400 hundred parks in the city. Flowers, green grass and  63   (树木) in different shapes are here and there. And the people there have much   64  (自由) to choose their jobs. It is   65   (真实的) that people are leading a very relaxing life. I’m looking forward to living there.

It was my first day at school. I felt nervous. I went to all my classes with no friends. I felt like no one cared.

I listened carefully to all the lessons and waited for lunch time at one o’clock. Then, finally, the bell rang. It was time to talk and have fun.

In the lunch line I met a new friend from Arabia(阿拉伯), and though I am Jewish, we got along well. I was so happy when she said, “Sit with us at our table.” She showed me the table next to the door.

So I agreed. I took my dish and was going to walk with her across the floor, when suddenly someone stopped me. “Hey, I saw you on the bus,” said a tall girl in a long skirt. “I see your Jewish star necklace(项链). You should sit with us.”

At that moment I looked around. The Spanish only sat with other Spanish, the Russians always with Russians and never the Arabs with the Jews.

I knew why wars(战争) started. Everyone sticks to(坚持) his or her own kind. The lunchroom was like a map of the world. Why was everyone so blind(盲从)?

And so I didn’t go with this tall girl, but went with the first, and she was friendly to me. I built a bridge between two worlds when I sat with those different from me.

Mrs. Green opened the door so hard that the door almost broke. Then she looked 　26 the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. “She is in my 　27 again. Those are my strawberries, not　　 28 . Maybe I should call the police.”

Her friend, Alice, was sitting at the table 　29 a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.

“Of course,” Mrs. Green answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your garden　 30 your permission(允许) and picked your strawberries?”

“I would say, it’s better than the bees.” Alice answered.

“The bees don’t take my strawberries, but the 　31 does,” said Mrs. Green.
