I can still remember when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to1me.I hid behind my mother she hid behind her grandmother，2to look at each other.Soon we lost the3and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade，I first intentionally distanced myself from her.At that time, she was4family problems and I deserted her to be with me because she got 5than ever before.None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had 6.However，every summer we couldalways sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem.I guess I was too devoted in high school to7she needed someone there for her.Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I.Then I didn’t know why，but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression.At first，I was very8，but we still stayed in9.I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically10 her and people were calling her11.
Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting.I12you so much，and you didn’t even know you were13me.”
We both cried.And a kind of14that I learn from my life so far is never to give up on your friends.Even if they aren’t as warm as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someonethere.If you desert them，you will only be15yourself.

The passengers on the bus watched with sympathy as Susan made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to 1 the seats, settled in one of them.
It had been a year since Susan became blind. As a result of an accident she was suddenly thrown into a world of 2. Susan’s husband Mark watched her 3 into hopelessness and he was 4 to use every possible means to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to5 to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too 6 to get around the city by herself. Mark 7to ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening 8 she could manage it by herself.
For two weeks, Mark 9 Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other 10, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new _11.
At last, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip 12. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she hugged her husband 13, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude（感激）. She said good-bye and, for the first time, they went their 14ways. Each day went perfectly, and a wild excitement 15 Susan. She was doing it!
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work 16. As she was getting off the bus, the driver said, “Miss, I sure 17 you.” Curious, Susan asked the driver 18.
“You know, every morning for the 19 week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you until you enter your office building safely,” the bus driver said.
Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks. She was so lucky for he had given her a gift more powerful than 20. That is the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.

I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today.All of the checkouts were1, and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n)2! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts3; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she4scan her own shopping.
I listened to her5looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带).I didn’t want6to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go7of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I8back.Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl,9her granddaughter.The girl’s part of the shopping10of some comic books.
I couldn’t11it.I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt,12a space.“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and13them to a big14.The woman was delighted, and even15to complain ---- until she was walking away.
So,16bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵).She was learning how to17situations like that by listening to her granny.I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some18into the middle of it.
We can all complain; we can all react19, but it doesn’t have to be like that.And, even if only for a few20, I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way.

James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully1the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90!2on earth was he going to get the3of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was4to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no5asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to6.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to7it. He would have to find a job.8who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had9on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the10of James’s odd-job(零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the11of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the12of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the13increased and he knew that he would soon have14for the bicycle he longed for.
The day15came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He16no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode17home, hoping to show his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard18for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more19he had bought it with his own money. He had20what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific  1 that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless   2  in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to   3  . She wanted to help,   4 she made many chocolate chip cookies for me to  5  and hand out to people. When getting to the shelter, I passed out the   6  . I began making sandwiches and   7   them with the crowd. I had the containers with my sister’s   8   in them and began to   9   around, offering them to anyone near me.
I approached an   10  gentleman and said, “ Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes   11   a little bit and said, “ No one has   12   called me sir.’ So he was completely moved.
It   13   me.
I explained I had been raised that   14   color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It   15   me to think that just because he was homeless, no one   16   him the honor. It broke my heart. I just didn’t understand   17   no one ever called him sir. I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every   18   person deserves to be treated with respect. Years later, I still carry that memory and the   19   it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can    20   make a difference in someone’s life.

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why1had such a big influence2a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now,3 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel4 to express my ownopinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many thingswaitingfor me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better5 yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.”I was shocked. It made me think about6itself. There are so many things around us that7our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we8 it or not . What we can do is just to make9 suit the world. I think we should learn to accept10life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to11 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of thepleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by(流逝)and leave you12regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should13such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up,14 it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own15towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’tmatter, I think. There is onerule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

One night, I4the last bus and didn’t have enough money to take a taxi. With no other choice, I decided to5the two-kilometer journey home, which would have been fine6
