At midnight Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn't go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears(眼泪) ran down his face. He didn't see his wife was standing by him.
“What's wrong with you, dear?” asked the woman.
“Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands.
The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, “You must stop smoking right now.”
“I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can't I do that?”
“But I think health is more important.”
Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, “Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think.”
The doctor told Mr. King to have an Xray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the Xray carefully for a long time.
“Tell me the truth, doctor.”said Mr.King, “Do you see any shadows(阴影)in my lungs?”

    We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn't know why.
   “Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,”Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can't get where you want to go by one road, try another.”
    Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn't think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.
    At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, “What's the matter with the soup today?”I at once told her what I had done , and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day .
    Now I really understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn't stop working until I tried every way to my goal.

    During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的) situations. Allow me to share some with you.
    But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.
    I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease(租约) agreement for a flat. What's more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me.
    The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher's lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.
    The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active, However, I am not totally used to their habits yet. Indeed, I was used to shaking my friends' hands every day in France. During my second day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met!”
    Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I meet before came to hug me. I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed.
    I live a great experience at present, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley.

Emmitt followed his father to row eleven, seats thirteen and fourteen. He was so busy taking in the sights at the baseball stadium that he wasn't watching where he was going. He bumped right into his father's back. "Sorry, Dad."

His father laughed. "No problem. Which seat do you want?"

Emmitt looked at the number thirteen on the back of the seat. Thirteen was supposedly an unlucky number, and he was going to need some luck if he was going to catch a foul ball(界外球). "I'll take fourteen."

As the players took the field, Emmitt took pictures for his scrapbook. He cheered, did the wave, and even got a foam finger(泡沫手指). The game was great. But it was missing one thing. A foul ball. Emmitt wanted nothing more than to catch a foul ball.

Every time a batter popped a ball into the air, Emmitt sprang to his feet. And each time, he'd groan and sit back down. He'd seen foal balls go over his head and fall short of his row. He saqueezed his foam finger when the next batter came to the plate. It was his favorite player—Harry "the Hammer" Watson. Emmitt stood up and cheered for him. He heard the crack of the bat and watched the ball sail into the air… right toward Emmitt! He couldn't believe it. He was going to catch a foul ball hit by Harry Watson.

"Daddy!" the little girl sitting next to Emmitt cried. "The ball! The ball! Catch it!"

Emmitt saw the huge smile on the girl's face. She wanted the ball.

He turned his back to the ball just as it reached his seat. Emmitt leaned toward his dad and the ball dropped into the hands of the little girl's father.

"Why did you do that?" Emmitt's father asked. "Do you realize who hit that ball?"

"Yeah, but look," Emmitt nodded to the little girl. She was hugging the ball.

"My first game and I got a foul ball," she said.

"I'm proud of you, Emmitt," his dad said, ruffling his hair. "That was a really nice thing to do."

Emmitt smiled as he watched the little girl. He didn't get his foul ball, but he felt as good as if he had.
