C
Nate suffered a hard blow when he lost his job. His boss had spoken rudely, “Your services are no longer needed.” Nate left the building filled with despair. By the time he reached home, he was in a deep depression. When he entered his house, he blurted out to his wife Sophia, “I lost my job. I am a complete, absolutely failure.” A tense silence followed. Then a smile crept across Sophia's face. “What great news!” she responded, “Now you can write the book you have always wanted to write.”
“But I have no job and no prospect of a job,” he objected, completely without hope. “If I struggle to be an author, then what will we live on? Where will the money come from?” Sophia took her husband by the hand and led him to the kitchen. Opening a drawer, she took out a box that was full of cash. “Where on earth did you get this?” Nate gasped. “To whom does it belong?”
“It's ours!” Sophia replied. "I always know that one day you would become a great writer only if you were given the chance. From the money you gave me for housekeeping every week, I have saved as much as I could so you would have your chance. Now there is enough to last us a whole year.”
What a surprise! What encouragement! What a wife! The unemployed husband did concentrate on writing that year, and the novel he wrote became a literary masterpiece（杰作）. The book is The Scarlet Letter. Sophia had an even greater achievement, and she turned Nathaniel Hawthorne from a poor clerk into a world famous master.

A Good Friend, A Second Self
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt, my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 36 .

Just not a long time ago did I finish my blog about the unforgettable snowy storm that I had on Monday night in November. I got another big 36 in Seattle again. But this time, it's not snow, but the wind and rain. I have 37 seen such a strong wind before even though I had 38 the typhoon every summer when I was still in my home country.
That 39 storm was so powerful that it 40 the whole big Seattle area out of 41 . 700,000 people had no electricity, and 42 13 people have died. Seattle is famous for its evergreen trees, but those trees made a big 43 this time. They broke down the power line above the ground, 44 the road and streets, and 45 the houses.
As the last storm was still 46 in my mind, I had another personal 47 about this new storm. 48 , this time, it was not good either. I was 49 to have my TOEFL test on the second day of the stormy night. Since the whole city had no electricity, my test had to be 50 off, and I had to prepare for another one later. It was my last test for the 51 , and I already made a plan for the time after the test, but now 52 is changed.
I guess sometimes, the way that the thing 53 is not always what you 54 . And what I can do now is to fit for it. 55 , we got a free hotel room from my husband's cousin and met my lovely nephew from San Francisco.
