In a race, I was always 11 . In baseball I was likely to be hit on the head or drop the ball. During the spring of
2、 my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a town about twenty miles away. Making that drive now is no big 12 but when youre six and youve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something. I dont remember too much
3、 about it. But there was one that I will never forget the three-legged race. The parents tied our feet together. One little boy got me for a 13 . He was the second most 14 boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didnt have a chance. And Im sure he knew
4、 he was in trouble. The gun sounded and we were off. Some couples were falling and stumbling all around us, 15 we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side. 16 , when we turned around and headed back for home, we were in the lead! Only one couple had a chance to win, and they were a good seve
5、ral yards behind us. A few feet from the finish line, disaster struck: I tripped and fell. We were 17 enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won. But he didnt. Instead he stopped, 18 down and helped me up just at the other couple crossed the finish line. As a
6、result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second. I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon. And 13 years later, I still have that little ribbon because its a 19 that a friend like this boy i

Still, she could 12 take in the cruelty of her fathers words. “I know Bays old”, Muriel told her dad, “but hes my favorite. Wont you let me keep him? H

She went to Bay and 13 the old brown horses head. As Bay touched her hand with his nose, Muriel couldnt imagine wha

16、 young, we went on holiday to Portugal. One day, she found a starfish(海星) that had been baked hard in the sun. We looked at it together wondering how wonderful these creatures were. Then I threw it aside on the beach and got back to reading my book. 11 , she got the starfish back, filled her Frisbee
17、 (飞盘) with sea water and put the little fellow in there. After about an hour, she brought the Frisbee over to me to announce that the starfish was 12 . I had previously seen it as stiff as a board and so, at first, I just thought that this was a bit of her childhood 13 at work. But she pointed out t
18、hat the fish was moving toward the edge of the Frisbee that was in the shadow. She then turned the Frisbee to expose the fish to the sun and very 14 the starfish made its way back to the shadow on the other side.With the logic of a girl of five years old, she then asked if she could keep it as a pet
19、. After I had 15 why she couldnt, I told her to throw him back into the sea. She then asked me if she could have it just for one night. I thought she had earned the right, so I 16 . She brought some fresh sea water in her bucket and 17 it as best she could.The next day, we took it down to the harbor

23、 I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 11 because of this.But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair changed me. Her best characteristics are her openness and 12 . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Withou
24、t doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a happy girl. But this joyful period didnt last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 13 and helpless and I was afraid
25、that I would 14 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so 15 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesnt fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didnt realize what a great 16 she was to me at that time.However, it t

I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 19 . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked pale
28、 but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “Im sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.Now I firmly believe that distance and
