Last year, Alice died. I was very and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast. But Kathy and Peter, my next door neighbors, asked me to them for dinner on Christmas Eve.
As soon as I arrived, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”
“Yes,” I replied. “ you need some, I’ll go and get it right away.”
“Oh, that’s all right. Come and sit down. Just give Peter your and let him do it.”
After a happy dinner with them, I went home. When I opened my door, I found my house had been decorated by Peter! It was just as as each Christmas before. At that moment, I wished that I could still the Christmas breakfast, but I had made no preparations.
Early the next morning, a little boy with a bag of candies my bell. Before I could ask him what was , he was joining by two of his friends. Within fifteen minutes, my house was full of , and I had all the food I needed. I had a happy breakfast with the children again.

It was the golden season. I could see the leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is a（n）） season. I was for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me ”, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.
Lost in the music, I did not that I had been standing for so long. But my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became and I could review the courses carefully.
Autumn was over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You like the music,” she said.
“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a 11expression appeared on her face.
“I came here just to have a rest because I in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a 1autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the to know each other and we should be good friends.”
She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn..

In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5.15 a.m. might be the middle of night. It is not only dark, but also cold. If you asked me a year ago if I could run early on a winter morning, I would laugh. ，last fall I connected with a friend. She'd been running with a partner in the morning and had forty pounds that year .I knew I could also have the same kind of weight loss. Since her running partner wasn't running, I asked if I could her.
The first two months were ,because we ran twice a week at 5.15 a.m. My body wasn't used to the early hours and every run was difficult. Then it snowed and we took two months . When the roads were clear, we soon were running together five days a week. As I'd changed the route of running, I discovered little that made it even more worthy（值得的）than a little weight loss. As we couldn't see other runners' faces, we said "good morning" to them shining a flashlight（手电筒）．Running in the dark made us part of a club. When the sky was clear, I noticed lots of stars. It me of summertime camping and I looked forward to running in warmer weather.
Though I haven't taken off forty pounds yet, it's amazing how much more I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of the day is more productive（有成效的）than before,1 wouldn't say I've a morning person, but l would say morning run is now my thing.
