It was my first day of high school, and I was late. My next class, German, scared me. I just could not speak that  1. As the bell rang, I ran to the classroom.

I admit I only speak a little German.   8I try to live out the life lessons I learned from Tony.

Every day Tony stood   9his classroom before and after class to give his “hand hug”. After school his room was always filled with students and he would  10to and chat with them—_11those not in his class. He taught me that every person is  12your time.

One time, I was rejected by my friends. Tony told me, “Linda, life gives you  13. But learning its lessons will turn those ashes to jewels.” Therefore, I learned to look at my troubles   _14and not to fear any difficulty.

In my senior year, I  15president of one of the school’s clubs, so I was very  16. Many times I didn’t even have time to buy lunch. He served me by giving me his food as well as advice. He   17out what he taught us to do:   18others.

A Special Relationship

This novel is about a woman whose entire life is turned upside down in a very foreign place despite the fact that people there speak her language. Sally Good child is a 37-year-old American who, after nearly two decades as a highly independent journalist, finds herself pregnant and in London. She married an English foreign correspondent, Tony Thompson, whom she met while they were both on assignment in Cairo. From the beginning, Sally’s relationship with both Tony and London is an uneasy one: She finds her husband and his city to be far more foreign than imagined. But her adjustment problems soon turn into a nightmare(噩夢). She discovers that everything can be taken down and used against you, especially by a spouse (配偶) who now considers you an unfit mother and wants to prevent you from ever seeing your child again.

Born in 1955, Douglas Kennedy is the bestselling author of romances such as “The Big Picture”. He is also the author of several praised travel books.

White Hot

   Sayre Lynch decided never to return to her hometown Destiny, after she changed her last name and finally escaped from the influence of her controlling father, Huff Hoyle, who owns the iron foundry that the town is built around.

       But when Danny, her younger brother, is found dead with a shotgun in his mouth, Sayre unwillingly goes back for his funeral and is annoyed when her father’s handsome lawyer, Beck Merchant, tries to please her.

       When the young officer investigating(調(diào)查) the case notes that some of the evidence points to murder rather than suicide(自殺), Sayre finds herself unable to leave Destiny. She’s annoyed by Beck’s constant presence, and she is not sure if he’s trying to help or throw her off the trail. Nor does she trust her father or her older brother, Chris, who is as prime suspect in Danny’s murder.

       As she tries to figure out how the handsome, charming Beck fits into the picture, she finds herself deeply attracted to him.]
