friends and we were inseparable. We spent every day together and always had a good 1 .
Then basketball competitions started and we were on the 2 team. After a few games, 3 ,
Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup full-time. I wouldn"t admit it then, but actually I envied(嫉妒)
her. Having 4 practice times, we started to see less of each other. Soon I started to hear that she
was talking 5 my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new 6 . To my 7 , the next day at school she
told everyone I 8 her style because she had told me she wanted to get hers cut like this. At
noon she handed me a letter and walked away 9 talking with me. I couldn"t accept the 10_
words on the paper. In great _11__ , I wrote right back to her.
Over the next week, we exchange(交换) more 12 notes. I cried myself to sleep every night,
13 our friendship was over. One night my mom took me to Kate"s home. Our moms looked at
each other 14 . Kate"s mom asked us questions but 15_of us responded(反应). At last I let
everything out. The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we each talked about _16_ we
were feeling. It was all out. Suddenly Kate 17 from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me
with tears. I will never forget that.
It was five months 18 we had broke with each other. Last weekend we were out together
again. It makes me happy that we are 19 to care about each other more. I now know that 20 I
am asked about my friends, Kate will be at the top of the list.

There lived a king who liked art. One day an artist offered to paint the most beautiful picture in the world on the wall of his palace. So the king said,"All right,you may work on one of the walls in the new hall." Just then,another artist said, "Please allow me to work on the opposite wall. I shall make exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall. Moreover,I shall do so without looking at his work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so that either of us cannot see the other." Everyone in the king"s court,including the king and the first artist was intrigued. So the king decided to give the second artist a chance. The following day,a thick curtain was put in place and both the artists got to work. The first artist brought a regular supply of paint,oil and water. But the second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every day. A month later the first artist said that his work was completed and invited the king to come. So the king sent a message to the second artist,saying he was coming to see their works that evening. After seeing the first artist"s wall,the king was very impressed with the painting and gave him a huge sum of money as a reward. He then asked some people to remove the curtain. The same painting was seen on the opposite wall too! It was exactly like the one on the first wall. But the second artist had not seen what was going on, on the other side of the curtain. The king gave the second artist a double reward,and then asked,"I am indeed very happy with your work. But how did you do it?" The man said simply,"It"s very easy!I just polished(擦亮) the wall every day!" It was a wall made of white marble(大理石)! The fellow polished it till it shone like a mirror. The reflection of the painting across the room showed up in it! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

When my daughter Kelsey was a child, she loved to join me in the garden. To 1 chaos(混乱)in my own garden beds, I provided her with a space of her own, so Kelsey"s Corner was born. There she was 2 to dig and plant as she wished. Over time, that small piece of land grew into a favorite place in the 3 . As she approached high school, Kelsey took her 4 off the garden. I didn"t 5 to accept this change. It seemed acceptable that something as boring as working in the dirt gave way to the mystery of a(n) 6 social life, so I began to take care of the space. Even so, I knew it always would be Kelsey"s Corner. Now my daughter is eighteen and is in the 7 weeks of her high school career. Our mailbox is filled with college admission materials, 8 me that the world has come for this young lady and that she will soon answer its 9 . Kelsey is looking forward to her wonderful college life 10 her mother and I are anxious about the coming life 11 our daughter around. Kelsey"s Corner seems extremely deserted in this early spring 12 Kelsey"s leaving. One morning, when I 13 past Kelsey"s Corner, I noticed some green seedlings had 14 at the foot of some dead stalks(秆). It"s 15 that life is a cycle. Kelsey"s leaving is 16 one point on the cycle. Now the life wheel will roll with Kelsey as she 17 into her adult life. Let her live as she will and let her 18 when she can, and whether she comes alone or in 19 , she will be welcome home. I"ll take care of Kelsey"s Corner faithfully. It will also cycle annually, rolling on towards a 20 stage of our lives, one that promises a rich harvest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
