Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue on in its 1way, but mine couldn’t. I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to face 2and their gossip at school. I was forced to 3my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from school 4completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 5into bed and wallow（沉迷于）in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 6（n）7that it was to be opened on a8night that week.
I made it through that week 9my father. Each card10to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 11is impossible to imagine. Don’t try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood 12when I read, “What you are feeling now is 13and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 14.” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special 15you face along life’s way, may you 16that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card 17the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to 18. “The world isn’t so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”
My world once collapsed but I 19the difficult breakup eventually. It owed to my dad , who made his 20known when he couldn’t be present.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 1 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 2 his walking stick.McKay’s wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 3 person, he had been 4 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 5 collector.Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay’s, or too often, on the McKays 6.
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our 7,” said Laurene.She added that it wasn’t so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 8 bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks.“We’d be 9 there happily reading our newspapers, when 10 so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we’d 11 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 12 of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too 13.“It was James’s birthday,” explained Laurene, “and I’d made him a birthday cake.The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn’t get to blow them out.” 14, Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 15.Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast.“I couldn’t 16 him.He was up there in a flash.It was the fastest I’d seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his17 from now on.And what of James McKay? 18 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”.“19 the most exciting birthday 20!” said the cheerful old man.“The best since my adolescence I’d say!”

Joseph Henry was an American scientist who served as the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. He used to tell a rather1story about his childhood. His grandmother, who2him, once paid a cobbler(修鞋匠)to make him a pair of3.
The man measured his4and told Joseph that he could choose between two5: a rounded toe or a square toe. Little Joseph couldn’t6. It seemed to be such a huge decision;7, it would become his only pair of shoes for a long time.
The cobbler8him to take a couple of days to make up his9. Day after day, Joseph went into the shop, sometimes three or four times a10! Each time he looked over the cobbler’s shoes and tried to decide. The round-toed shoes were11, but the square toes looked more12. He continued to put off his decision. He wanted to make up his mind, but he just couldn’t decide!
Finally, one day he went into the13and the cobbler handed him a parcel14in brown paper. His new shoes! He raced home. He15off the wrapping and found a beautiful pair of leather shoes, one with a rounded toe and the other with a16toe.
I learn a17here about decisions: If I don’t make decisions myself, others will18make them for me. Better than I make them myself.
And if I choose19from time to time, that’s okay, too. At least I won’t have to20shoes that don’t match. Besides, I’11 probably do better the next time.

I take the train to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite1 because there’s a short cut(捷径)to the station. But in the summer, it can get quite smelly because of all the2. So I always try to 3through it. Today I was trying to do so as usual4 something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most beautiful5 by an old woman walking in front of me with the help of a white6.
She was short and 7and had white hair. She was walking8 as each step took some effort. I hadn’t specially noticed her9, until she stopped near a rubbish bin(垃圾箱).
She slowly placed her walking stick10 the rubbish bin. Then she leaned (斜倚着) on it with her right hand. She bent down and11 the rubbish. She clearly found it12 and it took her a while. She13 some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to 14herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then 15walking. It all took her great effort.
There’s no much rubbish and no one ever does16 about it. I was moved to17 this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it18! I haven’t been able to19 thinking about that all day.
I want to follow her example. I’ve decided to pick up rubbish of the20 if I meet from now on. I hope people will do the same as I do.

Positive Thought—A Strong Tool of Success
Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs that arranged a running competition. The1was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had2around the tower to see the race and3on the competitors.
The race began. Honestly, no one in the crowd really4that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard5such as, “They will6make it to the top. Or: Not a chance that they will7. The tower is too high!”
The tiny frogs began falling,8, except for those, who in fresh tempo (速度) were climbing higher and higher. The crowd9to yell (大叫), “It’s too difficult!!! No one will make10!” More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued higher and higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up!
At the end,11else had given up12the tower, except for one tiny frog. After a big13, he was the only one who reached the top! Then all the other tiny frogs14wanted to know how this frog15to do it.
A competitor asked the tiny frog16he had found the17to succeed and reach the goal. It turned out…that the winner was18!!!!
Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be19or pessimistic (悲观的) because they take your most20dreams and wishes away from you—the ones you have in your heart! You should always be positive and above all be deaf when people tell you that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

We took the bus from the suburb every early morning that summer 3 years ago. One of the passengers was a small1man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (佝偻) and a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty,2the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one3morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver4guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically,5and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,”6. The following weeks we were more alert (留意的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date7. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we8began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver9smilingly and asked:“Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?”and he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers10and clapped at him. Charlie bowed and waved the11before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the12passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束).
The summer went by, and13was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual14. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or —15— on holiday somewhere.
One day, we learned from the staff working in the centre for senior citizens that the elderly16was fine, but he hadn't been coming to the17that week. One of his very close friends had died at the weekend. They18him back on Monday. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next19Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping a bit more, a little bit more grey, and without a tie. He seemed to have shrinked(缩小)again. Inside the bus was a20. All of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

To my family and friends,
I have just started my tour of the area badly affected by the war.Everything is going really well, so no1.The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of2 too.Let me3.
Last week, 120 school girls were4 by a gas leak(泄漏).Most have recovered but six are still in5.Even though the local government speaks about the 6 of education, most of the kids here only attend school for four hours a day if they are lucky.They are so excited and7 to learn, but then have to8 things like being attacked.Most of these kids are9 and can’t afford a pencil or even paper.So I’m planning a trip to several schools to talk about10 and to give these kids some of the11 they need.That is where all of you can help.If you can12whateverschool supplies you have available, that would be13 appreciated.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the14 to do this and I will post pictures of this15 after I return.
Thank you again.

Before her 21-year-old daughter died in an accident in early 2007, Pam Weiss had never logged on to Facebook, a social-networking site. At that time, social-networking sites were used almost only by1. But she knew her daughter Amy Woolington, a UCLA student, had a(n)2, so in her sadness Weiss turned to Facebook to look for photos. She found what she was looking for and more. She was soon communicating with her daughter’s many friends,3memories through passages that her daughter had written. “It makes me feel4that Amy had a positive effect on so many people, and I wouldn’t have had a clue if it hadn’t been5Facebook,” says Weiss.And she wouldn’t have had a6if she had waited too long. She managed to copy most of her daughter’s profile in the three months before Facebook7.
Like a growing number of sad relatives, Weiss tapped into one of the most powerful treasures of memories available: a loved one’s online presence. As people spend more time at8, there’s less being stored away in dusty attics(阁楼).These pieces of our lives that we put online can feel as eternal as the Internet itself, but what happens to our9identity after we die?
Facebook10its policy a few months after Woolington died. “We first realized we needed a protocol(协定书) for 11users after the Virginia Tech University shooting, when students were looking for ways to remember and12their classmates,” says Facebook spokeswoman Elizabeth Linder.

Never Miss The Chance
Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel 1 to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the 2 hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I 3 a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while4 the dishes and see the flowers. I've 5 thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look 6 in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers7 , "I'11 stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty..." 8 the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk to be used for that 9 purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I 10 to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were11. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them 12 this spring."
A week ago we were 13 and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and14 , because of age and distance, we haven't been as 15 as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but16 the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the 17 between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time18 to plant some wonderful 19 that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'11 stop and 20 them to my wildflower garden.
