The day I met my best friend for the first time, I was full of anxiety. I was trying to do some for an important oral exam in the local library, but people kept me. I was getting annoyed and of course, I was not able to . Suddenly I heard someone singing loudly behind me. I and glared at the person who was singing. It was a tall girl about the same age as me.
She looked like a sensitive and friendly girl. “How could she be so selfish?” I thought .
I picked up my books, glared at her and shouted, “Thanks to your , I’ve been unable to study. You’re so !”
I left the library in a hurry, leaving my most important textbook . When I got home two hours later, I found my textbook gone. I was so that I almost cried. Just then, the phone rang. A gentle voice the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After that I was, she said she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my was in it, she asked a librarian to get my phone number. She said she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it.
I sighed with and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. Of course, you’ve who Jenny was. She was just the girl I had shouted at for singing in the library. When I recognized her in the store, I was filled with and apologized for my rude behavior. I felt so , but Jenny just laughed, saying she was glad to see I’d also left my in the library! I couldn’t help laughing and I invited her to my apartment for a cup of tea.
Ever since then we’ve been best friends and we’re getting along well. To be honest, I trust her more than anyone else. I often think how I am. If Jenny hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to my shortcomings, I would have experienced such true friendship.

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare 21 affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was 22in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much23 of her ever recovering from this illness. They 24 she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to 25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was 26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was 27 going to be walking again one day.
She was moved to a specialized 28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All 29 that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do 30 else, it would at least give her hope and something 31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her 32 , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!
One day, 33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something 34 happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She 35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"
Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a 36 place. People were screaming, equipment was37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake. 38 don't tell that to Angela. She 39 that she did it.
And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own 40 . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Smith

back. It was the 43 and sympathy (同情) in their eyes that 44 me doing so. I went shyly towards an unoccupied (空的) seat.
Being lame, I didn’t dare to 45 in front of my classmates. I was afraid that I might be 46 at. In those days I was very sad to see others walking 47 .
