Two years ago, I read a story about pen friends in a newspaper. The two people had finally met __4__writing to each other for 55 years. It was then that I __5__ Lisa.In fact, I had thought about her many __6__over the years. I had even searched her name__7__ Google(谷歌). But I could __8__ spell her last name, Gutierrez, correctly. Did it have one “t” and two “r's” or two “t's” and one “r”? Was the “i” before or after the “t”? On that day, my __9__ was once again wrong, and I gave up my search.
Twentyfour hours later, I received a __10__ in my mailbox: “Is this the same Willow Older who grew up in New Zealand? This is __11__ pen friend, Lisa.”

B
This was our last trip before high school. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. But at the roller coaster(过山车), my stomach felt too tight to say anything at all.
The big girl beside us was Tasha, my best friend Dan's sister. We came here in her car. She was a singer. She was fantastic on the stage. Just the image of her up there made me think she was so cool.
Our roller coaster car pulled up, and my friends rushed forward. I felt my legs couldn't move. All I could think about was the roller coaster might fly off into the sky.
Without a word, I turned, ran out of the line. I knew what people were saying about me, but I didn't care. I just kept moving past the crowd, found a bench near the bathrooms to sit down and put my head in my hands.
“Hey! Are you okay?” I looked up. It was Tasha!
“Oh, uh, yeah, I just started feeling, um, sick,” I responded.
“You know, it's okay if you were scared. Everyone gets scared,” she said.
“You don't,” I said in a low voice. “I've seen you on that stage. You were fearless.”
“I'm glad it looks like I'm not scared!” Tasha smiled. “But that's not true. I get really scared and nervous before I perform.”
Before I noticed she was on the bench by my side, her words moved on.
“Hey, look, singing is important to me. And I want to share what I love with my people. So, even if I'm scared, I do it anyway. I push through the fear and just get up and do it. Is taking roller coaster important to you?”
“Yeah, it is. And I want to be able to look back and remember having fun with my friends. I don't want to remember running away and sitting alone by the bathrooms.”
“Everyone gets scared, but brave people don't let fear control them.” She looked into my eyes.
Still being lost in what she said, I saw my friends coming towards me.
I __▲__.
