On Friday morning, I was waiting in the corridor with my class for the physics exam. Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks, 36 all my calls and messages.
With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 37 my paper. I was just looking up when a 38 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 39 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t 40 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 41 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had 42 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 43 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.
After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really 44 that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n) 45 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 46 . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t 47 who my friends are. Will you forgive me?” At these words, from my deep heart sprang up a burst of guilt along with the belief: Friendship is an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was to leave its warmth and to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly , but was still too big for my appetite(食欲，胃口) that day.

I left the kitchen because even the made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had time, so I thought we could practise parking. I , with the wheel hitting the pavement(人行道). After that, the little bit of confidence I had was . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving site (地点).
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.

Once, in New York City, I took my class to see a(n) near Times Square. When we arrived at the theatre, there were about twenty other classes outside waiting to get in. The students from the other schools were not and there was pandemonium(乌烟瘴气). I told my students to stay in a line and keep . I told them that we would not carry ourselves like those other . Soon we started to file into the theatre, and it was very disorganized. There was a lady trying to the groups and get them to their seats, students were everywhere and really knew where to go. My class, observing our rule, walked in in two single-file lines. We stood near the door behind everyone else，and we . All of a sudden, the lady who was noticed us and she walked our direction．She asked the students the teacher was for our group, and I raised my . She asked, “Very, very nice to meet you.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13.My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since— the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of ,like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s me why visitors started respecting the place and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew about organizing any big event. But in 2004,together with some climbers, I set a date for a .On that day, more than 300 people .Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to .I couldn’t believe the we made—the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone,2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by rather than complaining. We need to teach by .You can’t blame others you start with yourself.
