Before I leave for college, there are 5 things that I want you to know:

I’m going to make mistakes. Making mistakes is just a part of shaping who we are, and just because I didn’t make some mistakes doesn’t mean I didn’t make others. It’s important to remember that my mistakes made me into the person I am today. 1．

I’m going to change, based on who I’m friends with. I copied a lot of my friends in high school. It just means that a part of who I am is a part of who my friends are. 2． While I’ll still be me, I’ll be carrying my friends everywhere I go.

3． When I’m crying alone on a Sunday night because I miss home, you won’t get a Skype call from me in tears. I won’t call you not because I don’t want to talk to you, but because I need to learn how to handle life’s heartaches without my mom and dad.

I will mess up, but I will do my best to make it right. I’m probably not going to be all honor roll student. I might lose my room key and I’ll probably spend too much money on useless things. 4． But I will always try my hardest to measure up to the daughter you raised me to be.

I’ll be okay. 5． As a result, the idea of entering what seems like a whole new world terrifies me. Despite all of this, I’m determined to become the one who’s “most likely to succeed”. You’ve raised me to do great things, and now is when I’ll show you that I can.

A．That’s just how life works.

B．I’m going to let go of you.

C．You know that I’m not as strong as I seem.

D．You won’t have to struggle to understand me.

E．I’m going to evolve more and more as I get older.

F．I just want to warn you that I’m not a perfect daughter.

G．It won’t make me any better of a person in the future.

Weekend Visitor Engagement Volunteers—Museum of Zoology

Every Thursday afternoon, the food pantry (食品储藏室) at the local high school opens up to provide fresh food bags for families who can hardly make both ends meet to get their meals to last through the weekend. Nearly a hundred families rely on the extra food. Some are between jobs, some got hit hard with medical bills for a few months, and some are new to the neighborhood, placed there by refugee services.

On one breezy afternoon, two young mothers walked in together, each accompanied by a young child. There was nothing different about their dress, but their manner revealed a shyness that they struggled to overcome. When they spoke, it was clear why: Their accents were thick, even though they were trying hard to make their English sound American. They were uncertain of being understood. But the pantry is run by grandmothers who are never pressed for time when it comes to conversations. So they sat for a moment and told their story while the little ones were held in arms so very familiar with children.

The two lived in apartments in the basement of the Methodist Church. They had been in the United States for one month. Their husbands were well-educated but working labor jobs to pay for food and save for more typical apartments.

Both had fled the war in Eastern Europe, one family from Ukraine and one from Russia. They ended up in the same church basement and discovered that they needed each other. They became fast friends. Their children played together. They shared meals and navigated their new world together.

There were no bombs or soldiers or rations in their new neighborhood, only a chance to start over. Friendships are sometimes hard to come by, yet matter so much to each of us. A good friend gives us strength, love, laughter and the courage to keep trying.

These two families — worn down by uncertainty and war, thrown together in a new country, a new community with a new language — found so much in common. And isn’t that what we all need? A friend who faces the same life challenges, even if the forces above them have different political views. We are, after all, just mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors.

Mama’s Soup Pot

There are too many treasures in life we take for granted, the worth of which we don’t fully realize until they’re pointed out to us in some unexpected way. So it was with Mama’s soup pot.

Mama’s soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited (继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents.

At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom’s flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged!

In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter? You sick?” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment.

I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl.

One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。

The day Sol came over I was nervous.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more.
