The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been _ there for so long but my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb（打扰）her.
Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building I went downstairs to watch her performance. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became . Though we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good .
One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly . To my surprise, the girl came over to me. “You must like violin，” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I 47 ．No one ever found out.

It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering ninth grade. High school is well-known for being a battleground, where everyone seems to be 36 through physical changes, emotional mood swings, and low self-respect. For me, 37 was my punishment.
I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the 39 members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the 40 of the line to avoid sticking 41 .
I especially hate being around large groups of people, like during the social hour after services at my church. 42 the prayers were finished, I would leave as quickly as possible so I could 43 other well-meaning congratulations, "Ruthie! Look how tall you' re getting!"

_50 the war, he boarded a boat for 51 , and on January 27, 1947, he stepped onto the dock in Manhattan. He was hungry and 52 from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was 53 about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.
