1 . I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and danger of a big city, and where teenagers like me _______leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that _______one summer night. My friend Lisa, Kim and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. As they kept _______alcohol to me, I was pretty drunk. I asked Tyler to take me home. With some _______, we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. Kim, my friend _______we were five years old, was killed in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Kim, who was clearly more drunk than me, got into her car and _______towards the highway to go home. She was driving on the wrong side of the road and never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see her _______to avoid the car. They hit head on. Kim died immediately, and the driver was thrown _______the truck windshield (挡风玻璃) and died a week later.
Whenever I look back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my _______to drink so much that night, otherwise things would be different. I know Kim made the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel ________for what happened.
I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that I can make people ________the responsibility that they have to themselves and others by ________it. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours ________. Every choice is like a stone dropped into ________water—each ripple (波纹) represents someone who your choice ________. That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?
