Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to 41 my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome 42 from one end of the city to another and to 43 among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the 44 , so the friendship I knew at school was 45 . I put up with it for a short period. It was 46 long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my 47 into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued writing poetry at home.
By chance, I 48 some prizes and awards for literature. A young woman from a 49 company came to the college one day. She told me that I won a national poetry award. I 50 at her in astonishment(吃驚) and disbelief. She wanted to make a short 51 about me, to which I said, “ No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real 52 . I was just frightened. In the end she 53 me that I should do it the following day.
So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my 54 and I became 55 interested in literature than ever. I 56 what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not 57 myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly (猶豫地) told my parents that I wanted to _58 to school. They were greatly surprised and a little afraid, but they did not try to persuade me not to. They wanted to know if I was 59 , and if I knew what it meant and 60 I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter no further.

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the 21 person.
When I first knew Bill, back in 22 , he was one of the most carefree(無(wú)憂無(wú)慮)people I had ever 23 . He was always ready to have a party. He thought 24 of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 50 miles to see an old 25 he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and 26 was never dull when he was 27 . With him there was one wild 28 after another. Sometimes I wonder how we 29 to study for our exams.

I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 32 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the 33 thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main 34 . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never 35 Bill changing so much. My image of him 36 the one I had formed 37 the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s 38 to expect people to remain the same, especially 39 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he 40 the same way about me.
