15、rs were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars.

22、 friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, Its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the wo

23、rds. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.” thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself.

30、New York City was immediate and definite: You wont catch me putting my money in there! he declared. Not in that glass box! Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture（建筑）is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negativ

31、e response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.
