I suppose when you grow up in one place, you have friends whom you’ve known since childhood．But as a child who moved a lot, my oldest friendships are with my cousins．
On our return from Guam, my parents, sisters and I walked off the plane in Alexandria．All my cousins were there to meet us．
I was excited to see them again．The last time I’d seen Don, Sherri and David was two years before．That summer we’d caught fireflies(萤火虫) and watched Don and his friends play a game．Some boys acted like a bull(公牛) with a rope(绳子)．His friend held the rope and Don rode on it．When Don fell off, he got up and tried again．
Just like riding that bull, Don put his heart into everything he did．As a young man he was told he got cancer(癌症)．But he fought it and never gave up．Like what he did that summer, he held tight(紧紧地) , falling off a few times and trying again．I was excited and proud of my cousin for planning and going after his dream．I wished his ride would have lasted longer．

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language．Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example．If you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language．

“She only likes apples．” “Only she likes apples．”
“I’ve seen the film already．” “I have already seen the film．”

How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years．Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35．At the beginning of the 20th century, the average (平均) life span(跨度) was 45．In 1950，70-year-olds were really old．Today, a healthy 70-year-old person is still thought young．
So, how old is old? The answer is one you've heard many times, from all kinds of people．“You are as old(or young) as you feel．” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived．Your body tells you how well you've lived．
“Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer．“People grow old when they don't have their ideals (理想)．” People should not have the wrong ideals about aging．Sometimes, old minds can be as bright as young minds．Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me happy who people say．You look young for your age．” What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 (可能30岁老死) and live young at 80．
