Suddenly she couldn¡¯t help wondering why so many people    14    be interested in that old, torn, dirty quilt. The quilt was sold for $500 to a complete    15    .

After the sale, she went to the count to pay for the few items that were now hers. The woman at the cash desk handed her the quilt. ¡°There must be some    16    . Someone else got it. ¡±She said. A hand-written    17    was pinned to the quilt, which read:

forever.

   11   absorbs sunlight and keeps out bacteria(ϸ¾ú), so the colors don¡¯t   12   .

   13   the bamboo slips found in Hubei were water-logged(½þË®µÄ), another   14   is used. Scientists take out the water and   15   it with alcohol and special chemicals before letting the wood dry. However, not all solutions are   16   ones. In some cases, scientists have turned to history for an    17   .

It was just getting dark; there was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. But I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I    1   to Salisbury.

I was going along   2   at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a woman¡¯s scream¡ª¡°  3  !¡±I looked round, but the only   4  of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just   5  a bend in the road about a hundred yards   6  .That was   7  the cry had come from. I   8   speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing,  9   he did the same and began to draw away from me. As I drew near, the girl¡¯s voice came again, a lovely voice but   10   with fear.

¡°Let me go,  11   fool; you¡¯re hurting me. Oh! Oh!¡±

I felt my blood   12  . The fog was coming down thicker now; the countryside was lonelier. The man in the car had no   13   noticed this. Again came a cry.

¡°Drop the knife, fool. Oh!¡±Then a cry and a groan.

If I was to save her, it was now or   14  . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn¡¯t save the girl, I would   15   try to bring the murderer to the police station. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its   16  , and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and crashed into the ditch on the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out, mad with anger.

¡°Fool!¡±he shouted   17   he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was quicker than he. I put all I knew into   18   that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It caught him right on the ground without a   19  .I rushed to the car,  20   open the door and peered inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.

¡°You have been listening to a radio play. Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately.¡±

Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the   1  are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and  2  .The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the    3  of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain(¶ºÀÖ)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are   4  jobs in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not easy to find work,¡°   5  you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,¡±says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on    6  for students.¡°If you work with a family in Italy, you¡¯ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak   7  .British students only have a language   8   for jobs in the USA and Australia.¡±

The two teachers with the children had never been    10  .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was    11  home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the   12  they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only  13  evening of the entire trip.¡°I did visit a lot of new places,¡± she says,¡°but it wasn¡¯t worth it. The pay was   14  and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!¡±

¡°The trouble is, students expect to have    15   time of it.¡±Anthea Ellis points out.¡°  16  ,they see it as a holiday. In practice,  17  ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(ÁÙʱ)work. You¡¯ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy.  18  ,you¡¯ll work if it¡¯s convenient for the company that employs you. But you have    19  employment rights.

A high school history teacher once told us, ¡°If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.¡±  1   teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily    2   .

It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a   3   friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the   4   for each of us to think carefully about the   5   of friendship we want.

To most of us, friendships are   6   very important, but we need to have cleared in our  7 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   8  at arm¡¯s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the   9   ? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   10   enough and that¡¯s all right. But at some point,  11   to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends¡¯ expectations. The   12   of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the   13    way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken(½øÐÐ)slowly and   14    only if there are signs of interest and action in return.

What are some of the   15   of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much time. Another ¡°   16    difficulty¡±is the selfishness to take actions too soon. Deep relationships   17   one ¡°possesses¡±the other, including his time and attention.  18   , friendships in return. In other words, you must give as much as you take.  19    there is a question of taking care of them.  20   you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die away.
