Linda Evans was my best friend. We did everything together, piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled，and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological (生物的) clock.

Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a.m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work.” Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (生物鐘學), the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks, occur (發(fā)生) most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication (藥物) may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

Many doctors believe chronobiology (生物鐘) can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

1.We all have _________ clocks inside our bodies.

2.Barbara Wells ran _________ every morning before she went to work.

3.Barbara Wells’ legs and back got well by _________.

4.What is the right time for the person who has a heart attack to take heart medication?

5.Many doctors believe _________.

Dear editor,

My English teacher is very strict with us. Several days ago, when we were having class, Tom asked me a question. But she thought we were talking in class. She asked us to stand at the back of the classroom for a few minutes. This made me uncomfortable. After that, I feel nervous in her class, so I don’t like her class anymore. However, I really want to learn English well. What should I do?

Yours,

Mike

Dear Mike,

I am sorry you are having a difficult time with your English class. Every teacher wants his or her students to study hard especially in class. So I think you should have a talk with your English teacher and tell her what you were doing with Tom that day. If she knows your worries, maybe she will help you with your English. And she will be pleased to hear that you want to learn English well. I believe when students are not trying to study as hard as they can , a teacher is forced（被迫）to punish them .

Yours,

Editor
