John ordered his own flowers and made sure that the 35 would include a note telling his mother how much he loved her．He drove away from the shop，feeling very 36 ．He caught a light about two blocks away．As he 37 at the light，he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk．He watched him cross the street and enter a park through two huge gates．Suddenly，he 38 that it wasn’t a park but a cemetery(公墓)．

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the __36__ was that he found himself unable to ask for help---his mobile phone went out of __37__ as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to _38__ in cold wilderness. It was eight hours later that day broke, and then _39_ of the rescue.
It is almost __40__ that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his __41__: “First of all, I checked up my __42__, checked up my conditions and found myself not in mortal danger. As there was no __43__ to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from __44__. In this way I dozed off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the __45__ of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men __46___ to explore a mountain cave and got lost. __47__to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of __48__. Finally they feel dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the __49__ people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the __50__ of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to __51__ themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering not far away.
Don’t you think you can compare it with __52__ itself? When you meet with difficulty in life and work, you are lost in darkness. __53__ you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle __54__. It seems to be a negative（消极） attitude, __55__ a person who can afford to do so must have foresight(远见) as well as a great courage in the first place.

I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair __44_. She said, “I’ve been __45__ for you here for a long time. Come in. 46 is almost ready.”

I quickly 49 that my car was out of 50 , but she didn’t seem to listen to me. She just kept 51 me Alfred and talking about how long it had been 52 she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I 53 .
Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my 54 , he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house.

When high school started, Becky and I became best friends. We __36__ many interests and quickly became inseparable. When high school ended, we both cried __37__ we would attend different colleges in the fall.
Our first term of university life was __38__. We had a huge telephone bill and our e-mails were incredibly long. In the second term I found some new friends with whom I felt very __39__. These were friends with whom I could be myself and __40__ out my feelings. I was eager to share my new friends with Becky.
When Becky finally visited me at my school, we were excited. She __41__ a toy bear to me as a present and told me about her college life. However, something unexpected happened when I __42__ her to my new friends. Her eyes grew dark and I could see the __43__ within them. My new friends tried to share their friendship, but Becky seemed __44__ to accept it. I didn’t understand __45__ the people I loved most couldn’t love each other.
Becky left. I knew she was not happy. I thought long about what had happened. After many unanswered questions, I understood that she was __46__. She saw me with my new friends and __47__ that we no longer shared the same experiences. She saw all the fun I was having __48__ her and wished she could be a part of it. She wished she could be in their __49__.
I wrote a letter to Becky __50__ she’s always my best friend. I told her everyone had friends from home and friends from school, and all the friends were indeed life’s greatest __51__. Becky wrote me back soon. She was in __52__ and felt sorry about what she had done.
I think Becky and I both learn an important lesson from it. __53__ can influence our friendship and change the experiences we’ve shared. We are now walking on two different paths of __54__. While new friends are special and exciting, old friends are always there, __55__ to share their heart and soul, no matter how far apart.
