题型：不详难度：来源：
“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty – two?” I asked my friend. It was clear she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty – two.” Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow, ” I said. breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you late then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card stared off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight – two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.

One night, a young school teacher had a dream．In his dream, an angel appeared and said to him, "You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world 26 ．How will you prepare him so that he will realize his 27 , grow in confidence, be open-minded, and strong in character? In short, what kind of 28 will you provide so that he can become one of the truly 29 leaders?"
The young teacher 30 in a cold sweat．It had never 31 to him before --- any one of his present or future students could be the person 32 in his dream．Was he preparing them to 33 to any position which they want? He thought, "How might my 34 change if I knew that one of my students was this person?" He 35 began to develop a plan in his mind．
His teaching 36．Every young person who walked through his 37 became, for him, a future world leader．He saw each one, not as they were, but as they could be．He 38 the best from his students, yet tempered （使缓和） it with compassion （同情）．He taught each one 39 the future of the world depended on his instruction．
After many years, a man he taught rose to a 40 of world prominence （著名）．Of all the various teachers in his life, he was the 41 ．
Children are 42 messages we send to a time and place we will never see．Believe that one child’s 43 may depend upon influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will 44 ．For no young person will ever be 45 to you again．And you will never be the same．

One day, Mom was sewing a quilt（被子）．I 38 sat down beside her．“Mom, I have a 39 here,” I said after a while．“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 40 voice．
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 41 in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt．I was 42 if I had hurt her．I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do．But at last she said, very 43 , “Susan, look at this 44 ．Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting．If 45 is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there． 46 is inside．”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later．
One day, Dad accidentally got 47 while on duty．Ever since then he could no longer 48

“Dad, how are you feeling now?”” I asked him one day． “Susan, don’t worry shout me,” he said gently． “I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life．” Looking into his eyes, I 51 what they meant．
The doctor had said Dad would 52 in two months．But that day never came．He 53 away in peace．
54 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses．But from this 55 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, which makes life strong and warm…

He almost didn’t see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front her Mercedes and got out.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt.
He said, “I am here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”
Well , all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened, had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were many people who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
