10.Yesterday I was in Milwaukee visiting my family,and while I was there I stopped at a café on a particular street corner.It was a corner that brought back a specific(特別的) memory.I had been on this street corner long before.
It was a very cold night in late January,1978.I was halfway home that night after working the evening shift (夜班) at the shopping mall,and I had to change buses.I stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus and just shivered(顫抖)."Gosh,this is terrible,"I thought."I need to get out of this."
I also thought about my young life at the time and where I was going.I felt very upset,because I was not satisfied with it.There was something asking me to make a change.I had just heard of a scholarship opportunity at a small university in San Antonio,Texas the week before,and it really got me thinking.But it was 1,200 miles away from my family and friends     But I sensed (感覺到) that if I stayed where I was,I wouldn't be really happy with myself.I felt like there was something missing.And yes,I was really cold,too.I thought of warm days in January in South Texas.That would be nice.
I was at a fork(分叉,岔路口) in the road that night,and little did I know what that decision would mean to me.As the wind rose and my shivering worsened,my mind suddenly cleared and the path became clear-I had to leave.I was going to San Antonio.Even though I wouldn't know a person,I decided to take the risk and do it,and start over.
    The bus finally came and as I finally could feel my face again I looked out of the window of the bus and dreamed about the new horizons that were in front of me.That day,at that moment,at that fork in the road,I made the most important decision of my life-going to university.And thankfully,it was the right one.What an important fork in the road!

18.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident,my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him  200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He had good reason to charge me,he said.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50 minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time,and often stop treating one so as to see another.Yet he charged me  115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,and it cost me  215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident,yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.And he made me pay him  770.

以下是各位明星對自己成長經(jīng)歷的詳細陳述.請將相關(guān)的陳述與關(guān)鍵備忘信息匹配起來.

61."Your high school probably doesn't offer a program called VJ 101,so if you want to work at MuchMusic,you might have to find your own way,"she certainly did as she said."My journey to the front of the camera wasn't a typical one.But,I started the way many VJs start:watching MuchMusic as a child.And basically,when I was growing up as a teenager,MuchMusic was all I had.I didn't grow up in the Internet age,the way it is now.So MuchMusic was my source to learn about everything,"she says.B
62."An artist should bring honesty and a desire to move people,"says she."The people that would do anything for their art are the people that you are going to want to see-really passionate,creative people.So when they share that with others,you have a lot of power,and ultimately,I think that is why people love music."Some of her musical influences include legends like Neil Young,and Elvis Costello."I admire musicians that are still challenging themselves after 30years or more.That is what I hope to one day do for myself.My music is a reflection of different experiences that I endure at any given time of my life,"she adds.E
63.She and Terri started out as school friends years ago.She says,"Terri was the kind of person I just knew I would keep in touch with when we went our separate ways after high school.""There is perhaps no greater need for a true friend than in times of loss,pain or illness.It is life's struggles that put friendships to the test,and if you can come out smiling and knowing that the other is always there for you no matter what happens,then that's a friend worth keeping,"The Vampire Diaries star added.A
64."If I want to be alone,or if I'm having a bad day,I pick up my guitar.Music is my release,"she explains."Since starting on this non-stop journey,I feel that I,as a person,have not changed although other things have.My surroundings have definitely changed,and I've had to adapt to that-being away from home constantly,which was strange to me at first.But I've had a year of touring to practice being on my own,and tried to keep in contact with my closest friends and family as much as possible.""All I do these days is work,so if I ever do need advice,it has to do with work,"she laughs.F
65."I like choosing to continually challenge myself.Change is an important and natural thing,"she says."It's important because everyone changes as they grow up.With the album,I wanted to let people know that I was maturing.""Music is a good way to get everyone to know the real me.Everyone evolves and changes,"she adds.With the success of her debut album,she proved that evolving from TV actress to movie star to pop star was an important and natural change indeed.D.
