It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains. Little Tom came back home  his head down, looking really sad.

"What's the matter, Tom? How was your trip?" his mother asked with big smile. "I failed, Mom. Although the mountain was so high and filled with (stone) on the way, I still went ahead. But I felt too tired (climb) to the top of the mountain and it was so late that I had to come back, " Tom (cry) loudly. "It doesn't matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You (have) another chance if you keep on trying," his mother said. "But I am looking forward to(stand) at the top of the mountain for a long time!" Tom said.

His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on (you) way to the mountain?"

"Sure," Tom replied. "Did you feel the beauty of nature, my dear?" his father asked.

"Of course." Tom answered. "Did you notice other people on the way?" his father asked. "Yes! A little girl followed her mother (happy)!" Tom answered. "That's enough!" his father smiled and said, "Please remember, my boy. you didn't reach the top of the mountain, in fact, you have got a lot on the way already." Tom finally smiled with satisfaction.

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.

 Alice is a star lover. Whenever she looks at the sky, she always 1 what stars there are.

"Yeah," Alice 5 with a smile. "I was trying to find the Big Dipper(北斗七星)." Ben' s eyes lit up. "That's6 ! I' ve been trying to find it for ages. Maybe you can help me sometime?"

 Alice thought for a moment but then agreed. "Sure, I'd be happy to."

 For the next few weeks, Alice and Ben spent many evenings together, discussing the 7 to share their knowledge about astronomy. Alice was 8 to find someone who shared her love for the stars.

 One night, when they were 9 a meteor(流星) shower, they were attracted by the beauty of the meteor shower. Ben said, "You know, I' ve always wanted to become an astrophysıcist(天体物理学家). What about you?"

 Alice answered, "I' ve 10 thought about it, but maybe I will later."

 Ben smiled. "I'm sure you can be an excellent astrophysicist 11 you make up your mind to do it. Perhaps we' ll both end up working at the same observatory one day."

 Alice laughed. "That would be12 — working together to discover more about the universe."
