Have you ever been to America？I was only an 11﹣year﹣old girl when my parents （1） me that we would soon move to America．We were on the bus then．I cried．I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I （2） every morning．
In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying（3） to my friends and relatives．When we were leaving，I even felt a little（4） because I thought about all the places I was going to see﹣the strange and（5） places I had known only from books and pictures．
The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism（乐观），but the idea did not come to（6） at once．For the first two years in New York I was really（7） ﹣having to study in three schools and I （8） most of my time learning the English language．I（9） had any time for fun．Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be．Mother（10） and things became even harder for me．It took me（11） to get used to my stepfather．I was often（12） ，and saw no end to"the hard times"．
I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home．（13） things got better and better later and almost all common troubles（14） at last．From those experiences I have learned one important rule：Something good is certain to happen in the end．（15） you do not give up，and just wait a little!

For this month's Young World magazine，I interviewed 19﹣year﹣old Asian pop star Candy Wang．Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her （66） （shy）．Now she's not shy anymore and enioys （67） （sing） in front of crowds．
I asked Candy how life was diffierent after she became famous．She explained that there are many good things，like being able （68） （travel） and meet new poople all the time，"I didn't use to be popular in school，but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go"（69） （however），too much attention can also be a bad thing，"I always have to worry about how I appear to others，and I never dare to be （70） （care）about what I say or do．And I have much （71） （little） private time now because there are always guards around me．"
What does Candy have to say to all （72） （that）young people who want to become famous？"Well，"she begins（73） （slow），"you have to be prepared to give up your normal life．You can never imagine how dificult the road to success is．Many times I （74） （think） about giving up，but I fought on．You really require a lot of talent and hard （75） （work） to succeed．Only a very small number of people make it to the top"．
One evening a young woman walked on the beach．She （36） to see the footsteps （足迹）she had left in the sand，but they had already been washed away by the water．When she turned to continue her walk，she was surprised to see an old woman（37） by a fire．
She walked up to the old woman and asked，"Where did you come from？I didn't see you here a minute ago"
（38） answering her question，the old woman said，"Sit with me，my child．I have something to show you．"
As the young woman sat down beside the fire，the old woman handed her a book．She turned the pages of the book one by one and was （39） to discover they told the story of her whole life，from the early days of （40） to the present．But when she turned to the next page，she found it empty．And the rest of the pages in the book were all empty．
"Does this mean my life ends tonight？"she asked．
"No．my child．It means tonight your life （41） "
At that time the old woman took the book into her hands and began to tear （撕掉）each of the pages that had words out of the book．She then threw （42） into the fire until all left were empty pages．She handed the book of empty pages to the young woman．
"You see，"she said，"just as the water washed away your footsteps in the sand，your past is forever gone．What you （43） have is here and now．Each moment is the beginning of the rest of your life and you should live it to the fullest，because you won't live that moment a（an） （44） time．For your future，you are free to shape it as you wish，（45） it has not yet been written．"
