On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I"m terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too. I wasn"t even 15 you. I wish I didn’t hurt you,” said the man.
We were very 16 . We said good-bye and went on our way.
But at home we often 17 our loved ones in a different way.
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly 18 her down. “Move out of the way, ” I shouted. She walked away, tears（眼泪）in her eyes.

I really only meant it as a joke. I wasn"t trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download the newest 36 off the Internet."Then he 37 everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 38 .
39 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn"t have a phone like 40 , so we had to crowd(拥挤) around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 41there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous.
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 42 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 43 was to give it back to him the next day. I44 wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 45 and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of 46 his phone, but I had it in my 47 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 48 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster"s office. They 49 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don"t know what to 50 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he"ll think I stole it. If I don"t tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?
