Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can  36  with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the  37  I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that  38  me each day. It represented a wide range of music  39  ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that  40  . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they  41  .
While music is the most important  42  I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many  43  presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’  44  is the top 40 countdown where I get to   45  all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the  46  I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen   47  to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to  48  about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all  49  their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning  50  other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘ads’, are all  51  of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve   52  learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed,   53  while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be  54  radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening  55  most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.

I love secondhand books far more than new ones! I especially like books that someone else has gone through first. It’s a kind of connection — and an experience of wondering exactly who has been there before…I don’t mind god-eared （折角的）corners；I don’t mind the coffee stain—who cares? Indeed, I don’t even mind the comments at the edge.  

If it were an orginal classic, then the book would be of some importance. But the fact that its pages have been read and probably loved by dozens of people since it was produced is incredible, fascinating and wonderful. Just think — you can find old books that were touched by people in the nineteen fifties. That is interesting, as those people would probably have just come through World War Ⅱ.

 But books from the 20s and 30s are even more wonderful to touch. Was it an old lady who poured over my aging Dodi Smith paperback that I found in a secondhand bookshop?

I once sat in the British Library reading books published in the 17th century, touching them, and the excitement was considerable. Imagine — these are books that people read, touched , and wrote comments about hundreds of years ago. Who have touched these books? What were they wearing? What was their work? How did the books make them think?

Now you see— I am just a woman who likes to explore the past. I like anything except the new. Who wants new things? The smell of the chemicals, the sense of being mass-produced…

No! No!

Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall over and drop all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman（随身听）. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(锁柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”
【小题1】When Mark met him the first time, Bill was going _______.
