It was a cold winter night when Bob came out of jail. After twenty years behind bars, he felt like a stranger to the city and everyone in it. Lost and helpless, he didn’t know where to go or whom to go to. A year after he had been arrested, his wife had left him and taken their daughter with her. Former good friends had cut all contact with him. Recalling the night twenty years earlier that had completely changed his life, he wandered blindly through the streets.
In the dim light of a streetlamp, he noticed an old man sitting on a bench. Although twenty years had passed, he could still recognize that face — Jimmy’s face. At last, Jimmy broke the silence, “I am sorry, but I had to.” Bob smiled in relief, “I am sorry, too.I really regret breaking the law and I feel honoured to be caught by you. It is you that help me out of the trouble completely. Thank you.” With a sigh of relief, Jimmy looked into Bob’s eyes, thinking the meaning of friendship.

Homework
A long time ago,I was travelling around Australia with two friends when I decided to go my own way and take a sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands. It wasn’t that we didn’t get along any more,but one had to work in Sydney and the other had a flight to catch,and I decided not to let their plans stop me from seeing everything the Gold Coast had to offer.
I joined a catamaran cruise(双体船巡游),armed with a full bag of snacks. I figured this would be the best way to make friends.Everyone on the ship,except me,was with a group of friends,so I focused on taking photos of the beauty of the water and beyond with my camera,trying not to appear like a lonely bystander.
As we sailed,I found an island and moved to the back of the ship for the perfect shot.I needed something to lean on(倚靠),and there it was—a metal box with a lid(盖子).I placed my arms on it,only to realize it was a hot barbecue,heating up for lunch.
Suddenly,I screamed in pain as my arms touched the hot box.I pulled away quickly,but at first,no one took my cries seriously when I said I was in great pain.The captain of the ship was hesitant(犹豫的) to use the limited water supply on my injury,and I had no friends to comfort me.

Gradually,my arms turned purple,and a girl finally believed my pain was real.She rushed over,her eyes filled with concern.“We need to cool down those burns,” she said urgently.Then,she told the severe situation to the captain.The captain also realized the need for immediate action,and used some of the water supply to help.After that,the girl offered me burn cream she borrowed from her friends.As we chatted,I was surprised to know that she was from my hometown.We quickly became friends,and with her as my guide,I was welcomed into her circle of friends.
After introducing myself to her friends, I pulled out the snacks I had brought along.We all sat around,munching on the snacks,sharing stories and laughter as we took in the stunning views of the Whitsundays.The sun was setting,casting a golden glow over the Gold Coast,and I knew this was a moment to capture.I grabbed my camera and suggested we take a group photo.Everyone,including the captain,gathered around.The camera clicked,freezing a memory that brought us all closer together—a memory of friendship,adventure,and the beauty of the Australian coast.

for your listening
