Are they to be close or _7_ at arms length? D
109、o we want to _8_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _9_enoughand that s all right.

122、 up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright 6 hanging in the sky, giving off a magic glow. My sister turned over as though she was as light as air. Why could she sleep soundly? Why wasnt she 7 too? Did she know about tomorrow? I couldnt stand the 8 anymore, so I did w

125、dreds of other little 15 . As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was 16 with questions: Whats life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me?

I still remember the tears in my six
130、-year-old sisters eyes as she looked around the 36 closet in wonder. The space once filled with 37 clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow. This little child had come to the 38 that her father was gone. He had 39 us, and there was simply no way to change it.Being the 40 of four girls has never b
131、een easy, but with the departure of our father, our 41 and dreams were ruined beyond repair. My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, worked harder than anyone should simply to 42 our broken family. However, long hours at work often prevented her from 43 being there in our tim
132、es of need. This is where I have acted as the temporary 44 of my three small sisters.Many students 45 essays about their leadership positions in school and the community, but I 46 that my greatest accomplishment is the 47 I have played within my own family.The senior year in high school is not 48 fo

It is in our 36 to see differences: skin,
138、 hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that 37 us human, we are almost the 38 . I believe there is more that unites us than 39 us. My mother came to the US from India. She is 40 enough that she got her service 41 in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a
139、white boy from Indiana whose 42 came from Germany in the mid-1800s. It seems 43 to admit now, but I never 44 that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk 45 the street of our church together. They were 46 in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 47
140、together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 48 I realized their skin color. Im sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 49 walking down the street, I see the mixed race first and the couple second. When my
141、parents married in 1966, there were 50 places in this country that had laws 51 mixed marriage. 52 , my white grandfather, 53 father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage. Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 54 . Some right
142、-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all 55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that. 36.

154、work out many wonders and miracles. In my spare time in the States, I loved to take a walk around the small community where I lived. 2_ I met on the way, they always gave me a friendly greeting accompanied (伴随) with a nice smile as soon as our eyes had 3_. Spontaneously(本能的, 自动的), I smiled back. Thi
155、s kind of smiling exchange represented the most 4_ part of my jogging experience in the States. When it comes to doing business, my 5_ is “I love to see my customers smile”. If a customer smiles when he sees you, it means he feels comfortable 6_ with you. More importantly, it means he makes money. I
156、f he can make money, I get the business rolling. On a personal note, my daughters giggle is just like 7_, which warms my inside the same way 8_ the sun warms my body. It can 9_ away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. 10_ I see her photo, her giggle 11_ around my ears. The little reserved and contro
157、lled smile of my wife, 12_, reflects the beauty of a matured and well-learnt woman. It is so 13_ in my eyes. It can sometimes really turn me on.Julia Roberts 14_ is nothing but roaring like earthquake or volcano. It can overtake men and women alike. Americans may 15_ in many other ways, but they all
158、 agree that Julia is Americas sweetheart. Nobody can 16_ her laughter plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert. Both of us 17_ into a kind of Julias laughter. Yes, laughter is something we ca
159、n not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too gloomy. Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home 18_ he had a little doggy by the name of Mini. Mini is a lovely pet. Every time, we came home, she jumped up and down and insisted 19_ giving me some lipping. When I h
160、eld her gently and asked her to give me a little smile, she just 20_ her mouth and half closed her eyes, looking like every inch of smiling. That left a deep impression on me.
