The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don"t like it!” she said. “Foreigners aren"t like us. Maybe he"ll play loud music and have parties every night! I"m sure he"s going to cause trouble.”
Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Ni hao！” he said in Chinese! “My name"s Tony. I"ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There’s a nice bar down the road. Why don"t you and your family come to the (B) and have dinner with (C) ?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.
(D)The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting, drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other, “Oh, what a civilized(文明的) place!” my grandmother said.
The bar served special “hutong pizzas”. As we ate, Tony told us about himself-he is making some researches into environment. He always likes to be quiet. My grandmother said to me, “He really seems like a very nice young man.” Yes, Tony is my new neighbor, a nice foreigner.
They 1 (have) a great time. A boy said to his friends, "I 2 (not skate) on a real lake so far. It"s
wonderful! Look! I 3 (fly)!" Suddenly the ice broke. One of the boys fell into the river. The children
shouted, "Help! Help!" They didn"t know what they 4 (do).
My mother is very kind and easygoing. She helps me a lot. I 5 (take) good care of my daily life
by her. When I am in trouble, she always encourages me 6 (face) my difficulties. With her help, I
have become a top student in my class already. I believe she 7 (be) proud of me in the near future.

I sat there for a short time and then called the man back. "Have you __5__ with it yet?" he

the fourth time.
I rang him again. "Well, I thought maybe I should be the first to __7__ to you." He began to

| My aunt Edith was a widow (寡妇) of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what was thought to be a very serious heart disease. Aunt Edith doesn"t accept defeat (击败) easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon (外科医生), Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said Dr. DeBakey"s fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn"t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay? So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, her little girl was dreaming of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn"t a word of self-pity---only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer. A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn"t wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud: "Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation. Signed-Michael DeBakey." That was seven years ago. Since then, Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married. For her age, she is one of the youngest, most alive people I know—all because of an open heart surgeon who knew how to honor his profession, and how to open his own heart. | |||
