But it was not to last.
It was a Saturday, and I was on the way to my aunt"s. Sitting in the bus, I 1 what I would do to
deal with my little sister and her friend, who were both in 2 third year of primary school. My 3
and that girl"s mum expected me to help their children with spoken English, and had agreed to 4 me.
I started my two girl "class". Their school books were on the desk, but I didn"t use them, 5 my
own teaching plan.
At the beginning, the girls were calm and studied 6 . But an hour later, after a 15 minute break,
they quit concentrating on study. Instead, they ran about the 7 giggling (咯咯笑) madly, paying 8
attention to me.
The room got messier-books and toys covered the floor. I was just about to 9 this when suddenly
the door opened. Their parents looked stunned (受惊吓的).
My aunt asked, "You have finished the task?" My face 10 , I lied and nodded slightly. Before the
girl"s mum could hand me the money, I 11 out of the house. I knew I couldn"t accept it.
Being a teacher with a messy ending is surely 12 …
She was making a list of things she wanted to do to fix up the bike. On her list, Tracy had written new
seat, paint, and bell. Then she thought, "I want to make sure drivers see me on my bike. I"ll add reflectors
(反光镜)
to my list."
Tracy"s dad walked into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Oh, I"m just thinking about the bike I want to buy", Tracy said. "I had hoped to earn enough on my
paper route the first week to buy it, but I only made fifteen dollars. I hope the bike is still there after I get
paid next week."
"Well, if you would like to earn the money tomorrow, you can help me," Tracy"s dad said.
"Doing what?" Tracy asked eagerly.
"I"m washing windows in the morning," her dad said. "I could use five dollars" worth of help."
Even though it was a Saturday, Tracy got up quite early. She washed the inside of all of the windows.
By twelve o"clock, she finished and had the money in her hand. Just as she was ready to leave, her mom
called to her, "Tracy, did you make your bed?" Tracy rushed to her bedroom and made her bed. Finally, she
headed for the door. She raced down the street to where the bike was for sale. Luckily, It was still there. The
owner noticed Tracy looking at the bike. "Would you like to buy it?" asked the owner.
"I sure would! I have twenty dollars," Tracy answered, pulling the money out of her pocket.
Within minutes Tracy rode away wearing a huge smile. She circled the block several times. She wanted
her friends to see her on her new bike.

the front. "We are not different from one another. We all belong (属于) to one family."
His thin voice 3 his weak body. His jacket was too large, and his trousers swept the ground. I thought he could not possibly be 11 years old. He had a certain unbelievable charm (诱惑力) —even in those 4 few
moments I was moved by his amazing feelings.
"We are all the same," he was saying again. It seemed to me that his words 5 a faraway bell. He was

we cry. We live and we die." He stopped, opened his arms, hands turned upwards and caught his shoulders (臂膀).
I went into the house with 8 the boy had given me in those few moments. I had 9 for five or six

This was the beginning, that afternoon in the spring of 2000. Over the next year or so I 11 try to find

in 5th and 6th grade.
We started school in Bedford when our families moved there. We shared interests and did things
together.
In the last year, however, we looked down upon each other and rarely (很少) talked except to say
terrible things. I 2 her for a long time.
My family moved from Massachusetts to Kansas a month ago. To my 3 , she gave me a teddy
bear as a farewell present. She"d designed it herself and 4 made a scarf for it. She also wrote a card
that said:
Hey Frances,
Wow ... you were my best 5 for two amazing years. But now you"re 6 hundreds of miles
away. I am going to miss you! There are many things I regret doing to you. And now that I want to say
7 to you, I have to make it fit into one little 8 . Fifth grade was a trip. We two new girls became
friends immediately. Sixth grade was 9 , even though the path was hard. In 7th grade we made new
friends. We wouldn"t even say "hi". Was it my fault (错误) that we fought? I feel sorry and I don"t know
10 . You won"t be here next week so we can"t go to the movies or the mall one last time. Now that
you"ve done reading my sloppy card ... bye. Hope you can forgive (原谅) me.
Sincerely. Love always,
Michelle
This card made me cry for the first time during the move. It made me 11 that moving keeps you
away from people you care about. I also realized that I cared for Michelle more than I thought. If we try to
forgive and 12 , life will be easier and happier.
take my dog Rosie with me, so I spoke to my vet (兽医) before I booked the tickets. Rosie would have to
travel in a large wooden box, and I wanted to check that she would be OK. The vet said that Rosie would be
fine because it was only a short flight.
When the plane landed in Seattle at five o"clock, I asked the flight attendant if I could stay in my seat
until Rosie was taken off the plane. The flight attendant told me to get off the plane immediately, and that I
should wait for Rosie at the baggage claim area (行李认领处). So I went to the baggage claim area and
waited until all the baggage had been taken off the plane. Soon I was the only person waiting and there was
still no sign of Rosie.
After forty-five minutes, I asked a woman who worked for the airline if she could find out where my
dog was. After I"d waited another thirty minutes, she told me that the plane was now flying to Los Angeles.
Rosie was still on the plane! It wasn"t until eleven thirty that night that the airline found Rosie in Los Angeles.
There were no more flights that night so she had to spend the night in her box at Los Angeles airport.
I got Rosie back the next morning, but by this time she had been in her box for over eighteen hours.
Poor Rosie!
