By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a (n) . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place.

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.

No one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened
so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted (理论),the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter
all directions. After that, atoms began to
(形成) and combine to create stars and other bodies.
For several b years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was
still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become w uncertain
until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust
settled into a solid (球体) . The earth became so violent
it was not clear whether the shape would last
not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in
time to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapor and other
gases, which were to make the earth’s (大气层).
What is even more important is that as the earth down(冷却下来),
water began to appear on its surface.
