Although in 1947 we were still very new to the atomic age, we knew about mushroom clouds. A huge crack (裂缝) spread across the library wall upstairs, sending teachers and 1 screaming down the hall.
Had a new world war started? Palefaced, our young science teacher quickly2us for a fire drill. We huddled (卷缩) in little groups on the beach side of the school grounds and3the spreading cloud darken the bright spring sky.
Rumors flew every which way,4two hours would pass before we got the full story. One rumor we heard was that the Texas City Monsanto Chemical plant had5; children whose parents6there began to cry.

The school bell called us back inside, and we were dismissed (解散) to8our way home the best way we could. I'd walked a quarter of the threemile trip to my home9a car horn frightened me to10.

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the 21 person.
When I first knew Bill, back in 22 , he was one of the most carefree(无忧无虑)people I had ever 23 . He was always ready to have a party. He thought 24 of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 50 miles to see an old 25 he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and 26 was never dull when he was 27 . With him there was one wild 28 after another. Sometimes I wonder how we 29 to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel. 30 , I wasn’t even sure it was 31 . Was this short – haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 32 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the 33 thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main 34 . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never 35 Bill changing so much. My image of him 36 the one I had formed 37 the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s 38 to expect people to remain the same, especially 39 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he 40 the same way about me.
A.proper B.same C.usual D.right
A.childhood B.the army C.his thirties D.college
A.considered B.supposed C.met D.expected
