It used to be our custom to take handmade baskets to friends on May Day．We would 21 baskets on a doorstep, knock on the door, and then run away as fast as our legs could 22 us．It was delightful to peer (窥视) around a bush and watch our friends open their 23 and pick up the colorful gift, 24 who had left it out for them.

I clearly 25 the May Day of the year when I turned ten．That year I was faced with a(an) 26 involving one of my dearest friends, Pam．We had studied and 27 together nearly every day, but things 28 after a new family had moved into our small town．Pam was spending more and more time at their house and I felt 29 and left out.

When my mother asked me 30 I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam’s house, I responded 31 , “Absolutely not! I hate Pam.” I began to cry.

Mom wiped away my 32 and told me that things and people change．She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a 33 to grow, to change and to develop, and that it’s 34 for one’s friends to spend time with other people.

I 35 decided to give Pam a basket as a sign of forgiveness, and asked my sister to help me do it．As we watched from our 36 place, Pam picked up the basket and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn’t 37 me!”

That day, I made a 38 that changed my life: I decided to hold my friends tightly in my heart, but 39 in my expectations of them, allowing them 40 to grow and to change—with or without me.

　　The year 2005 has been a year of disasters, but the bad luck of the planet won’t end with the year．If scientists are right, planet earth is 31 years away from a major disaster．A small near-earth object with the potential to cause big damage has grabbed the attention of observers around the world．

　　Astronomers have been monitoring the progress of a 390-metre-wide asteroid(小行星)ever since it was discovered last June．They predicted that it could hit the earth, causing huge damage, in 2036．They are asking governments to develop a strategy for deflecting(使偏离)the asteroid, which was named Apophis after an ancient Egyptian demon．

　　NASA estimates that an impact by Apophis would release more than 100 000 times the energy of the nuclear blast(爆炸)that destroyed Hiroshima．The whole planet would see the effects of the dust released into the atmosphere．

　　An Apophis hit is the worst possible near-earth scenario in recorded history．The asteroid has a 1 in 37 chance of hitting the earth．

　　More than 30 years’warning of potential impact might seem like plenty of time．But scientists insist that there is actually little time left to decide what to do．It could take decades to design, test and build the technology to deflect the asteroid, they say．
