Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after     thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head       his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a       person, he had been       to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a       collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays      .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our      ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant       bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be       there happily reading our newspapers, when       so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd       with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the       of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too      . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”      , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet      . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't       him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his       from now on. And what of James McKay?       he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “     the most exciting birthday      !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so       of it that I looked upon it       I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to         it. I could       wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
As the tables were not       from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.       I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was       it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand       it, she noticed it was still wet.
“Were you       to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I       with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was       stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never       it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would       it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I       that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her       to get something important. I followed her       into a dark corner. She picked something up.       she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of       to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to      .

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment (预约) into the outer        of Harvard’s president. But they were       by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,        that the couple would finally become       and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though        .
A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a       face. The lady told him, “We had a son that        Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was        here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to        a memorial (纪念物) to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t        . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this       would look like a cemetery (墓地).” “Oh, no,” the lady       quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a        to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and         at the couple and then exclaimed(呼喊), “A building! Do you have any        how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was    , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a       ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Since their offer was     , Mr and Mrs Stanford traveled to California      they founded the University that bears their       , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was    to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to     an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League     in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family      .
One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.
In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to     that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.
