—Who told you that? Friends need ________.

A few years ago the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really _______ when I found out our flat was next to Central Park. This _______ that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.

Because a lot of people had told me to be _______ of thieves(窃贼) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. What could they _______ from me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some _______ on the way home so I took a $10 note out of my wallet.

While I was running through the park, another jogger _______ into me. He said sorry and continued running. I thought it was a bit _______ so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I started to run after him right away. I _______ caught him by his arm. I started shouting and told him to give me the $10. I’m not usually a _______ person but I really got very angry. This seemed to frighten(惊吓) him and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.

I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got there, I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I ________. She stopped me, “I know. You left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”

Delia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in New York.

Each of them was taking lessons-Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but…when you love your art, nothing’s too much.

But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.

Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano-and he was going to pay her 50 an hour. “Delia,” Joe said “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.” A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont,” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was burned. He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did—and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.”

Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe — I couldn’t get any students, so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. I’m sorry, Joe — but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”

Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a drugstore （药店）, and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you — well, I guessed.”

They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art..,” Delia put her fingers to his lips （嘴唇）. “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love…’ ”

Rock art is the name given to pictures drawn on rock by ancient people. In the American Southwest, rock art can be seen on the walls of caves and mountains. Many of these places are in the Four Comers area, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than 7,000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the area’s dry climate （气候）has helped keep the art.

There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs, which are pictures carved （雕刻）into the surface of rock. A sharp （尖利的）stone may have been used as a carving tool. A heavy stone may have been used to hit the sharp stone into the surface. The second form of rock art is pictographs, which are pictures painted on the rock. The paint was made from plants and trees. The artists painted with fingers, brushes made from hair, or bird bones. The third kind of rock art is geoglyphs, which are designs made in the ground by taking away stones.

Some rock art shows faces, hands, animals, and trees. Other pictures are symbols such as lines, circles, and squares. Some scientists think these symbols marked the location of water or good hunting grounds. Some think the symbols were put there during special celebrations. Others think the symbols showed the movement of planets and stars. Still others believe that they are just doodles.

Some rock art may be a form of writing. Large scenes are shown on mountains. Some scenes seem to tell a story. A hunting scene may include animals and people with hunting tools. A scene with many people holding hands could mean friendship. Rock art in caves may have been a way to decorate the artist’s home.

Some rock art in the Southwest is about 200 years old. Other rock art may be 10,000 years old. Scientists think ancient people called the Anasazi created the older works. They were farmers and lived in caves.
