Your parents have just told you the news—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?
First, CALM DOWN. 36 a while to catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make 37 you have the whole story before you start telling people.
38 friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about 39 you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let 40 frie-
nds know, but the phone may be fine for others. 41 after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.
HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share 42 you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m 43 .” Tell him as many details as you know, 44 let him know how you feel about it.
Each friend will have a different 45 to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may 46 crying. But some may get 47 , some may get silly, and some may give you the 48 that they don’t care. 49 happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say 50 your feelings.
Ask friends not to tell anyone else 51 you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell 52 until Monday.” That will give you a 53 to let close friends hear the news from you first.
Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n) 54 may be able to help you
55 the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.

It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were ready to go out for a ride on the motorcycle with my friend Katie and the dog the phone call came, a call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, one.
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top(无袖紧身背心), and packed my bag with sunscreen and else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. My heart . what possibly could have happened?
“Max, I’m so sorry,” I heard him say. That’s when it me. I knew that Suzie had died. Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was ; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew . She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten, she had to live in a in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked on the phone at least twice a week the end. In a way, she lived through me. After we found out about her , we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).
To be honest, I learned so much from her. She gave me far more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never anything for granted, especially my health and the gift of life.

A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely —$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in , it was more than $100,000.
It nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
