I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. 38 of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 39 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 40 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 41_ at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 42 deserted her. When people were calling her 43 , I knew I still 44 her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 45 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 46 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 47 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 48 me． I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 49 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 50 your friends．

Overweight has been a great concern for some people. In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 48 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 49 when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 50 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)diets. However, such diets might have 51 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds that have been 52 cancer.

The car, running along the well-lit road now sank in darkness. I broke the 36 on purpose, for fear that the driver was too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock after this trip.” Then when do you come out in the morning?”I 37 another question. “9 o’ clock, too—just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride a taxi, what I 38 from the driver are only complaints that they have to work from morning till night, it’s hard to earn money, they’re often 39 by the police, or that their leaders are seated 40 , enjoying the fruits. But this driver told me, “I find it 41 to be a section chief as I was before. I like driving just for pleasure. It’s fortunate that I 42 drive without a passenger. So I earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Yes, I never 43 an empty taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along a highway, I turn into a narrow street…”
His words showed his 44 with his life and the pride he 45 in his
job. Such feelings are so 46 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountain. How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling moved when finding such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold 47 .

Being on the road at 3:15 a. m. to drive 450 kms wasn’t in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a couple of 1 days to prepare myself for the following busy 2 .
My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the 3. Due to the last-minute issue（问题）with transportation, I 4 my car to make sure that everyone could get to the 5 point so that they could get together and enjoy their week’s 6 by snowboarding and skiing.
The only thing that 7 to me on my journey was that no sooner had I 8 and said goodbye than I would make the trip 9 ，in total, a round trip of 900 kms in just 10 hours.

It was great to have this time with him as we 12 spent five continuous hours together, other than when we played Saturday cricket (板球).
On my return trip, I 13 a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning 14 . Within an hour it 15 . I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery.
