I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” asked.
“Yes, ” I answered, feeling rather confused as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony,”she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida?” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds I didn’t recognize him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell, ”I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him, ” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger, ” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know to say to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.
How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

Dear Ace Travel,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide me with some about the kinds of vocations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an place and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of activities; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activity is fine. We also need to stay in an hotel or apartment. It would be nice if we could get a room with a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be for three people. Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots?
Thank you very much!

Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously (匿名).

The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related(相关的) books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.

When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines(台词). But once on the stage, every word from my head. Then my teacher asked me to change my role to be a narrator(解说者)for the play. I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she noticed my and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping(炸开) the grass in bunches(束). I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I’ll dig up(挖光)all these weeds(野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested(抗议). “All the flowers are -- even dandelions!”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is of people, too.” She added.
When I that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said, me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.
