I lay there buried alive under our house when the bomb hit our city. The great 21 started by the bomb came nearer and nearer to us as workers tried to 22 us. “Hurry!” they cried to one another as the flames (火焰) came nearer. At last they reached us and 23 me and my mother out from under everything 24 the flames reached us.
Later, as I thought of the pilot of the plane that 25 the bomb on our city, I cried, “I hate him. I hate him.” The people with marked faces from the 26 of the bomb made me cry, “I hate him.” I saw people suffering (遭受) a terrible, 27 death. Again and again I cried as I saw these people, “I hate him!”
Some time later, that man appeared in a meeting I 28 .As I looked at him, I 29 him very much. Then I listened to what he told us of his 30 the day when he dropped the bomb on our city. I heard him say, “When I flew over the city 31 we dropped the bomb, I cried, ‘Oh, God, what have I 32 ’.” I could see that he found it 33 to speak of that day.
As this happened I suddenly 34 my hatred (仇恨) of him was 35 . It only made me unhappy also. As I did this, it was as if a heavy load (负担) 36 my shoulders. Then I decided to 37 him. I did so and my life was 38 .
I now help those who suffer from 39 other people. I try to help them to 40 everyone, as I am now able to do.

My friend Karen and I were always together. Karen was only a few months older than I. I always thought she was so beautiful, with long hair and blue eyes. I loved Karen so much because she liked me for being the way I was. I could be myself and share my secrets with her and I never felt like I was being judged.
We had so much fun and were really quite silly. One time I asked my mom to make us the same dresses so we could pretend we were twins.
We continued as best friends throughout grade school. One day, Karen was going to another friend’s place and asked me to come along, but I couldn’t go because I had a babysitting job that afternoon. We walked together to the Becker’s home where I was to babysit and then she continued on her way without me. We had agreed that I would meet her at the corner when she returned and I finished my job.
At four o’clock I rushed to the corner so I wouldn’t be late for meeting Karen. Just as I arrived at the corner, I saw Karen crossing the street. In a second it happened. I saw Karen’s body fly up in the sky. A car had hit her！
Karen was on life support for a week before it was decided that they would allow her to go in peace. Karen’s parents wanted to donate her organs(器官)to the hospital, but there was nothing left healthy enough to be used because she was hit so hard.
I have never got so close to another person since Karen died. I do miss her! Do you cherish(珍惜)your friends? If you don’t, please do, as you may lose them one day.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I 32 you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions.”
Mario 33 the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how to test 34 his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then the old man left, 35 soon as though carrying something in his hands, but Mario could see 36 there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather 37 to sit on it, but if you take it to school and 38 to sit on it, you’ll activate (激活)its magic and you’ll be able to 39 who your real friends are. ”
Mario, brave and determined, took the 40 and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a(n) 41 , and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Mario tried to sit on it and 42 straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
