Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.

 Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villager’s help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”

The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said, “You’re trying to open a wrong door, Paul!”

“Sorry, I can’t agree with you, Charlie!” said the young man, “It’s my room. You’ve entered it by mistake!”

That cold February afternoon, I was walking back to my home-stay, feeling a bit sad. I had studied English at the language school for 3 months. Now it 1.________ (be) all over. The time for me to say goodbye to my hostess(女房東) was coming.

“How was your day, Kim?” My hostess 2.________ (greet) me as I opened the door. “Not too bad.” I answered.

She 3.________ (prepare) supper for me in the kitchen. “I am coming to help you.” I said to her — she had some trouble4.________ (walk) because she had her foot hurt the other day.

“No help 5.________ (need) now. Just 6.________ (have) a rest. Supper is soon ready.” I helped her 7.________ (take) the dishes to the dining room and set the knife and fork on the table.

“Well, Kim, this is the last supper together. It has been nice to have you in my family. You have been so kind and helpful.”

“Miss Foster,” I said with tears in my eyes. “Thank you so much for looking after me so well. I 8.________ (not forget) what you have done for me. “It’s nice of you to say so. I think we can talk on the phone or chat on the Internet if we 9.________ (miss)each other. Well, It’s a pity I can’t see you off at the airport. But I 10.________ (call) a taxi for you already. It will come to pick you up at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning. The taxi will be paid by the school. So enjoy a good dinner and have a good sleep. You’ll see your family when you get up tomorrow.”

That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
“Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Karmen. I’m Henrietta.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered Henrietta to be one of my best friends.
One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn’ t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
Though several years have gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remember the wonderful friendship we had.
【小題1】Through visiting the old lady, the writer learnt that the old lady __________.
