    I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.

    All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband's dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer's suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I'm Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What's wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”

    “Oh. There's nothing wrong with it. It's brand new. We're closing the store. It's on clearance like everything else. I'll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I'm sorry ma'am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”

    I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband's dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He's going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It's been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won't buy anything, but it's just an old man's silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

Paragraph 1:

    I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma'am?”

Paragraph 2:

    “Ma'am. There's something you should know. This store was my Grandpa's and the canoe had been ordered by him.

    Dad pushed his finger into my basket. “What's that?”he asked. “Mew, ”said the basket.

    Dad suddenly pulled his hand away. “Oh no,” he said. “Not a cat. No way. ”

    I pulled Checkers from the basket. “It's not a cat. It's a kitten. Can I keep him? Please?”

    Dad frowned for a minute, thinking. Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin(下巴). “You'll have to take good care of him. ”

    I hugged Checkers. “I will, “I promised, he won't be any trouble at all.” And Checkers wasn't—until he grew into a cat. He wanted to be the first one in the house- and the first one out of the house. Sometimes he blocked dad in the way. “That cat!”Dad complained. Checkers climbed onto our roof. He had no trouble getting down. Usually he aimed for Dad. “That cat!” Dad yelled. Checkers flushed the toilet and watched the water circle away. “That cat!”Dad was almost mad. Checkers hid in strange places. He liked to surprise people.

    One day he hid under the couch(睡椅). Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice. Checkers jumped out. He curled around Dad's ankle and attacked Dad's toes. Orange juice spilt all over the floor. Dad yelled and put Checkers outside. “Get out of my way, cat!” he said angrily. And he slammed the door.

    Dad washed the injured toes and peeled open a bandage. He wrapped it around his big toe, and then he opened four more for his ankle.

    I watched from the window. Checkers looked frustrated as he walked down the road.

    “I'm sorry Checkers scratched you, ”I said. “He was just playing. He didn't mean to hurt you.”

    “Don't worry, ”said Dad. “That cat will be back. ”

    After supper I called for Checkers. But Checkers didn't come. Nighttime came. I called and called. I knocked his food dish with a spoon loudly. But still no Checkers. I left the porch light on. But the next morning Checkers still wasn't there.

    I carried a picture of Checkers to all the neighbors. I drew posters and hung them all over. But nobody found Checkers.

    Days went by. Life wasn't the same without that cat. I was angry with Dad. I didn't think he missed Checkers at all.

    Then one night the phone rang.

    Dad nodded, his face turning red.

Mrs. Peterson was my tenth-grade biology teacher, a cool woman in her late twenties. She has taught us for several months. She was an easygoing and nice teacher that loved to walk into our heart and often cared about us. And she had a wonderful way of making the most boring lessons fun. All of these made her popular with all of us students.

On a Tuesday morning, early before the biology class, we were seated in the classroom as usual, waiting for the coming of Mrs. Peterson. To our surprise, it was a teacher we were not familiar with that stepped into our class. She wore white tennis shoes and thick glasses. "Hi, everyone. I am Mrs. Ferguson," she introduced herself. And then she added, "From now on, I'll teach you biology. Mrs. Peterson has had her baby, and she couldn't return to teaching this year. "

Hearing the unexpected news, all of us immediately felt upset and missed Mrs. Peterson. During Mrs. Ferguson's first class given to us, clearly we were not as active as before. And actually, during Mrs. Ferguson's several following classes, we still remained inactive. One reason was that there seemed to be a thick wall standing between Mrs. Ferguson and us.

I was a basketball cheerleader of our school. One day after school and a long cheerleading practice, my friend Alex and I were looking for a place to fix our hair before attending the tryout (选拔) for cheerleaders in a national basketball game. When walking past Mrs. Ferguson's room, we were surprised to see her at her desk grading papers. Seeing us look at her, she said with a smile, "Hi, girls, can I help you?"

Hearing it, we stopped. "We're just looking for a place to plug in (给…接通电源) our hair-fixing-tool, "I said. She probably considered we were vain (自负的) and stupid cheerleaders.

Thinking of that, my face felt hot.

……

When we were to leave, Mrs. Ferguson said, "Can I watch your tryout?"

One weekend when I was about six years old, my family and I went to Disneyland and had a wonderful day full of excitement. I didn't know that the real excitement didn't begin until that night.

While we were watching the fireworks, I started to get an urge to go to the bathroom, but I didn't want to miss the show. I overheard a conversation between my sister Isabel and my mother, and I approached them to hear what they were saying.

"Mom, I'm going to the bathroom with Lizette, okay?" said Isabel.

"Okay," my mom replied, "but stay together. I don't want any of you to get lost."

The second I saw my sisters leaving, I didn't think twice before running after them — without telling my parents. As I followed them through the huge crowd of people, I started to lose sight of them. I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them. Crazy thoughts ran through my head like "What if I never see my family again?"

I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family, but I was completely mixed up. After searching for what seemed like forever, I couldn't hold back my tears, and I started crying like I had never cried before.

"Mommy!" I cried out. But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me.

I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I could ... anywhere ... every where. I was going crazy. "I'm only six, and I've gotten lost. What have I done? How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone?" I thought.

With my face wet from tears, I kept running, pulling at people's pants and crying, "Mommy!" I was hoping that one of these adults would be one of my parents.

Paragraph 1:

Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came,

"Are you lost?"

……

Paragraph 2:

Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face.

……

I stared at myself in the mirror:blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes siting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed. 

"Mom, I don't think this costume is right, "I said. "Maybe the makeup will add something, "Mom replied hopefully. 

Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can't say it's been the time of my life

"What if I forget my lines?"I hesitated. 

"Oh Riley, is that what you're afraid of?I know you've been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn't be prouder of you. "Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me. 

The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped. 

"Mom!I can't go onstage like this!"I cried. 

"Why not?"

"I'd be a laughing stock(笑柄)!"

"Riley, look around you!You're not the only one in an odd costume. "

"What if we just sneak out?No one will miss me. "I whispered. 

Mom's lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. "Riley, I'm going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that's the end of it. "Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on. 

The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs(梅花2)near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, "You're awfully quiet. Is this your first show?"I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, "YES!" The Ace of Diamonds(方块 A)sitting nearby laughed. "The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, "she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile. 

"Don't worry about us, "the Ace said. "We're only teasing. "

"Yeah, "the Two said. "When you've done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you. "
