4 . I prided myself on being a good neighbor.Each house I passed held a friendly _________. But except Kelly’s. It hadn’t always been this _________. We used to have a good relationship. I never went by her house without _________ if I saw her outside. But now, if Kelly was out in her yard when l passed by, I _________ not to see her. At first it felt satisfying to let Kelly know what I thought of her. Today the _________ of her house just made me sad.

How did things go wrong? It _________ with a homeless cat who appeared in my driveway. That wasn’t _________. I already had two homeless cats I’d adopted. But this cat was _________. He often drove my own cats away from their food bowls.

Imagine my _________ days later when Kelly announced she would take care of the __________. “I think he’s sweet,” she said. Living with Kelly didn't make the cat any __________. He constantly stole my cats’ food. “That cat is out of __________,”I said to Kelly angrily one day.

“He’s always perfectly sweet with us!” Kelly said, getting defensive. “I had no idea you __________ him so much.”

Things just got worse from there. Maybe I could have been more diplomatic about that cat, but Kelly should have been more sorry. If anyone was going to __________，it should be her! After that I never spoke to Kelly again. But months later,I now felt miserable（痛苦的）about it.

This time, as 1 walked by Kelly’s house, my feet slowed,almost __________.I gradually turned toward it. Just as I __________ so, I saw Kelly come out to her driveway. For a second, we just __________ each other. She looked as miserable as 1 felt, 1 thought.

I __________ hard and walked toward Kelly. Immediately we got close enough, Kelly and I found ourselves opening our arms and __________ each other tightly. Our friendship was __________!

5 . The phone vibrated（震动）and Amy's name appeared on the screen. “They found something,”she said , and then , trying to put me at ease , “Don't worry . They'll go in and remove it . It'll be alright.”Eighteen months later, the cancer ended her life. Amy's disease and death were astonishing for us all.

In spite of pain and fear, Amy's humor and compassion（同情）remained. In the middle of a life interrupted, Amy continued to display a concern for others. She once said, before sitting down to a lovely meal on a small island in Maine, as family and friends gathered to celebrate her forty-sixth birthday,“Wouldn't it be nice if everyone with cancer could have a special day like this?”I'm certain that every one of us wondered whether this would be her last birthday. And yet, in that moment, Amy was not thinking of herself but of others who have a cancer.

With her passing away, Amy's family and friends contributed thoughts and ideas so that we could create a foundation that was most like the individual we hoped to honor. We wanted to fulfill her wish that“everyone with cancer could have a special day”.

Less than six months after Amy passed away, our foundation“Amy's Treat”was registered. Since its beginning, Amy's Treat has helped thousands of people whose lives have been changed by cancer for free. It has given out over a million dollars' worth of direct aid, services and access to a“special day”.

Volunteering for Amy's Treat has restored in me a once shaking faith in the thoughtfulness of humankind. We wouldn't be successful without the generous kindness of so many people who will never meet the person or families that their checks and donations will benefit.

“Wouldn't it be nice if everyone with cancer could have a special day like this?”Amy once said. Because she lived and because she died , many have. I think she'd be pleased with how it all turned out.

6 . So many times we have said, “Oh, I'll do that tomorrow.” Sometimes ________ never comes, and we find ourselves saying, “How I wish I hadn't ________ what I should have done.” But my family have been trying hard to avoid such thing happening.

Our family has been ________ with Betty since we moved into the same community many years ago.

As soon as I ________ up the phone, I sent a text to Brandon to let him know Betty wasn't doing ________ . Little did I know that Brandon ________ what he was doing and ________ sent flowers to Betty.

You can imagine how ________ I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day, ________ me how much Betty loved the ________ Brandon had sent. A few days later, Betty ________ . Looking back, we felt we were lucky to express our love for Betty in time. You can never do a(n) ________ too soon. What are you ________ for? Do it now!

7 . Michael King had just taken out the money from the bank to cover a business debt he owed. For whatever reason, he was so careless that he accidentally left his wallet on the top of his car before starting the engine and heading home.

Meanwhile, Steve Harrison，who was heading in the opposite direction noticed something floating in the wind. Quickly realizing it was cash, he pulled over and caught it. He found King's wallet as well.

After pulling into a supermarket parking lot, Harrison counted the money — one hundred $100 bills and three singles for a total of $10,003. Though it might have been highly attractive to use the windfall, Harrison used his own money to pay for his shopping list.

Then Harrison tracked down King and returned his money and wallet.

“I never took seriously the idea of keeping it,” Harrison told the Times. “It's just simpler to do the right thing. Once I realized that there was an ID involved, I knew I would return the money.”

When the two arranged to meet, King couldn't afford to give Harrison a financial reward. Instead, he presented Harrison with a jar of homemade applesauce (苹果酱) — which he told Harrison was made with love and care by his family. And King isn't stopping there with his appreciation. Harrison has been promised home-smoked fish, homemade blackberry jam, and many more tasty treats in his future, which is a special form of currency that leaves a good taste in anyone's mouth.
