The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the 21 person.
When I first knew Bill , back in 22 , he was one of the most carefree（无忧无虑）people I had ever 23 . He was always ready to have a party. He thought 24 of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 15 miles to see an old 25 he really liked.
Bill and I were in the same class in college, and 26 was never dull when he was 27 . With him there was one wild 28 after another. Sometimes I wonder how we 29 to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel. 30 , I wasn’t even sure it was 31 . Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 32 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the 33 thing Bill cared about were possessions(财富). Now they seemed to be his main 34 .Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow I never 35 Bill changing so much. My image of him 36 the one I had formed 37 the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s 38 to expect people to remain the same, especially 39 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he 40 the same way about me.
