    Every New Year's Eve in the past, we had breakfast at Aunt Dot' s house. My most vivid 1 of the meal was the centerpiece (中心装饰品)that Aunt Dot always2 on her kitchen table — seven sets of salt and pepper shakers. It wasn' t until years later that I finally asked Aunt Dot about the unusual centerpiece.
    She was then 87 but she 3 invited us to the last breakfast of the    year. I had 4 early that morning to help with the meal 5 . Though weak, Aunt Dot was 6 stirring (揽伴) pancake batter (糊状物)as she 7 my question. “You know I arrange those salt and pepper shakers on the table every single year.”
    “I know,” I said, 8 plates on the table. “But9 do you always do that on New Year's Eve morning?”
    “It helps to remind me that 10 the holidays are over, there's another whole year of them coming,” Aunt Dot said thoughtfully.
    I nodded 11, “I guess that makes sense.”
    “Let me tell you something more,” she said. “I've learned over my many tears that nothing really 12 ; every ending in life is really just another new 13 .”She pointed at me with the batter-covered spoon. “14 that, my dear.”
    "I will," I told her.
    In the spring of that year, after a short illness, Aunt Dot passed away. To my 15 , I got the holiday salt and pepper shakers which I thought would be given to her own children. I 16 Aunt Dot wanted to make sure I remembered her philosophy (生活信条).
    I continued Aunt Dot' s breakfast 17 at my own apartment with the salt and pepper shakers centerpiece 18 .The pancakes are never as delicious as Aunt Dot's, 19 the center of the table is covered with those old salt and pepper shakers, 20 us all that every ending is really just another beginning.

    Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4, nothing about my term in France was what I 5.

    The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking news from my program-coordinator (协调人): there had been a death in my host parents' extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 8 out of one family's house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I'd have a 9 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to 10 my native language, I asked not to be 11 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a 13, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we'd be good friends for the rest of the 14.

    I left France with many 15, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 16 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 17 France we enjoyed together. I love how people can seem so different, but end up being so 18. The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn't just to respect the French people 19 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful 20.
