I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood (邻里)and her grandmother brought her down to 36 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 37 to look at each other. Soon we lost the 38 and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 39 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had 41 . However, every summer we 42 always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas (肥皂剧)and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guessed I was 43 devoted in high school to __44 she needed someone there for her. Anyway, she made a new “best firiend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, 45 she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed as clinical depression (临床抑郁症). At first, I was very 46 , but we still stayed in 47 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friends basically 48 her and people were calling her 49 .
Yesterday she came to me and said: “I never knew what a best friend was 50 you were the only person that would stop me from cutting. 1 51 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 52 me.”
We both cried. And I think a kind of 53 from my life so far is to never give up on (放弃)your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need 54__ there. If you desert them, you will only be 55 yourself.

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.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked.One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生).The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 .Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office.My friends told the truth but I 47 .No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list.I didn't even know if he was still 49 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused."Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused.“I knew it!” he yelled back.We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion.His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years.I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 54 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.

It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering ninth grade. High school is well-known for being a battleground, where everyone seems to be 36 through physical changes, emotional mood swings, and low self-respect. For me, 37 was my punishment.
I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the 39 members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the 40 of the line to avoid sticking 41 .
I especially hate being around large groups of people, like during the social hour after services at my church. 42 the prayers were finished, I would leave as quickly as possible so I could 43 other well-meaning congratulations, "Ruthie! Look how tall you' re getting!"
My grandfather would watch me 44 increasingly uncomfortable, but he did not 45 at my self--consciousness or try to comfort me. 46 , he would remind me. "Stand straight and tall," he would say, as I unsuccessfully tried to shrink (使缩小) myself. Moreover, each time, I would embarrassedly obey.

Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.
