Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World War(战争)II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled(充满)a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure(珍宝)—a beautiful silk scarf.
Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol(象征)of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.
Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview(面试)for good luck. And with the scarf, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Eliza asked.
"I`m sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew," the old woman replied. "My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck. Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf.
"My name's Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I've been living here in California from then on." said the old woman.
Eliza could not believe her ears…

I realized that it was a small mistake which was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my mother could stop me.
Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, "See what your son has done."

My father's gentle kindness {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me a lesson which I would never forget.
On that day, I decided not to let anger {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me any more. When I'm angry, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to remember my dad's vest. It reminds me to think about others' feelings when I'm angry.
