It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
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 (下载) the newest 1 off the internet." Then he 2 everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 3 .
4 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn"t have a phone like 5 , so we had to
crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 6 there were so many other kids that I could not see it
clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 7 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 8 was to give it back to him the next day. I 9 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 10 and almost mad. He
started accusing (指责) different people of 11 his phone, but I had it in my 12 the whole time. He even
started fighting with another classmate 13 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them
to the headmaster"s office. They 14 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don"t know what to 15 ! 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? |

A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn"t seen for 22 years. She had a
happy life until some kids asked, "Why don"t you look like your room?" Ida was sent to her adopted (收养)
family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn"t know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except
for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.
During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish
person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.
As she grew older, she accepted (接受) who she was. Still, she wanted to find the missing piece of the
puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first
arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not
much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language.
Being in Korea wasn"t always easy for her.
Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it"s worth visiting her birthplace because she finally
realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding
of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life. | | 1. Where was Ida born? | A. In Japan.
