I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood （鄰里）and her grandmother brought her down to  36  me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,  37  to look at each other. Soon we lost the  38  and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was  39  family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did  40  they knew she had  41  . However, every summer we  42  always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas （肥皂�。゛nd talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guessed I was  43  devoted in high school to  __44  she needed someone there for her. Anyway, she made a new  “best firiend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why,  45  she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed as clinical depression （臨床抑郁癥）. At first, I was very  46  , but we still stayed in  47  . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friends basically  48  her and people were calling her  49  .
Yesterday she came to me and said: “I never knew what a best friend was  50  you were the only person that would stop me from cutting. 1  51  you so much, and you didn’t even know you were  52  me.”
We both cried. And I think a kind of  53  from my life so far is to never give up on （放棄）your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need  54__ there. If you desert them, you will only be   55  yourself.

Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but  36  important information that should be included, he can create a false  37  .
For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the  38  . It was great. I   39  that ticket back to the store and turned it in   40  one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then  41  I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a  42  . He was  43  a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false,  44  he left out important information  45  . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically  46  , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this  47  . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her  48  lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another  49  . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s  50  . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s  51  the law to make false claims, so they  52  to mislead you with the truth. An ad  53  blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten  54  , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of  55  deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.

My baby Rob, the youngest of my three sons, was starting kindergarten. I had already 36 this twice before, but this time it was more difficult. [來源:Z&xx&k.Com]
What if he was scared? What if he missed me? I decided to do the grown-up thing and not tell him how I 37. I assured him that 38 would be just fine. 
The night 39 school started, Rob and I sat down. I hugged him and asked if he had any questions about what he could expect tomorrow ... “I’m 40 excited, Mommy, but I’m a little 41 about what I should do 42 I miss you,” he said sheepishly （膽怯地）.
I had just the 43 for him.
I 44 my hand and showed him a new, shiny penny. “This is a 45 magic penny. If you’re scared or if you 46 me, just put your hand in your pocket and 47 this lucky penny. 48 you hold it and 49 me, I will know and be thinking about you , too.”
It was absolutely 50. I’d be thinking about him every minute.
The next day as he 51 his schoolroom, he looked back at me. My baby looked so sure of himself. I smiled back at him and hoped that he didn’t see the 52 in my eyes.
