文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。作者搬到一个新城市后,几乎没有信心找到一个可以坐下来一起聊天的朋友。冬天一个下雪的晚上,作者试着邀请一个刚结识不久的女土来家里做客,她的到来让作者不再感到悲伤。
It was a snowy day. I ______ the friend who sat with me on winter evenings, talking about our experiences and thoughts—a true ______.
I had almost given up hope of finding another friend like that after I ______ to this city. I wanted to invite a woman I’d met only twice to come share my dinner, ______ she lived an hour away, and it was snowing. I was sure she wouldn’t ______ to come. However, I decided to have a try. So I made the ______.
“Don’t feel you have to come if you don’t want to.”
“Is it snowing? I have a ______, and I’m in bed. I’ll think about it later, if that’s OK with you.”
“Of course it is. And here are your choices, if you decide to come. I’ve just been shopping, so I can ______ you macaroni (意大利粉) and cheese or fresh vegetable salad.”
There was a ______ for a moment. She was thinking.
“Since I’m sick, not the macaroni and cheese. Too rich for a cold. I ______ the vegetables,” she said, “Vegetables. If it’s not snowing too hard.”
An hour before dinner, the phone rang.
“I’ve got up. I’ve been in bed all day. Looking forward to the ______.”
I was happy.
An hour later, she ______, holding a piece of chocolate.
We sat by the fireplace, eating and chatting. The smell of the vegetables filled the house. And we ______ love, art and travels. Everything was warm and good.
As she left, she said. “Those vegetables were delicious. They kept me from ______. I didn’t choose macaroni and cheese.”
“Next time,” I promised. And I went inside, quite satisfied, because I knew there would be a next time, and I didn’t feel ______ anymore.”
