One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would he bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 1 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 2 and landed in the grass about ten feet away from him. My 3 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. As I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me. We talked all the way home. He turned out to be a pretty 4 kid. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends Kyle was the top student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. He had to prepare a speech for 5 . On the graduation day, I could see that he was 6 about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you"ll be great!" He looked at me and smiled. At graduation, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to 7 those who helped you make it through those 8 years. Your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with 9 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 10 himself over the weekend and was carrying his stuff home. He looked at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate (低估) the 11 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 12 a person"s life. For better or for worse.

Therefore | 阅读理解 | When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie". My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games~ Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around. One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad"s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, "Bad girl," she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she"d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we"d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone . Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
