A few days later, Paris was back on the softball team.     1    (状语从句的省略：尽管还十分虚弱) she said her gratitude towards Taylor knew no bounds.     2    (独立主格：满心懊悔与愧疚), Paris apologized to her saviour and explained her fear of being stolen the show in the game. “    3    (虚拟语气：我本不该让我的骄傲挡在我们中间), and I sincerely invite you to join in our future: matches!” Taylor smiled. “But I noticed you were scared, too.” Another girl looked to Taylor: “Honestly speaking, I was. But    4    (分词作状语：比起失去你这个队友), my other fears were the least I should worry about.”     5    (强调句：正是这次事件把两个女孩变成了密交), as they shared not only the memory of that fateful day but also respect for each other as an admirable player in later matches.

Whenever 1 feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick, not to mentionthe lovely     1     flavor, which works like a time machine immediately    2     me back to my sunny childhood. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma's flat, listening to her wonderfu tories and     3     eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding.I take my time over every     4     gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect     5     of rice and milk. Before I know it, I'm happy again.
