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
36 person.
When I first knew Bill , back in
37 , he was one of the most carefree（无忧无虑）people I had ever
38 . He was always ready to have a party. He thought
39 of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 15 miles to see an old
40 he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and
41 was never dull when he was
42 . With him there was one wild
43 after another. Sometimes I wonder how we
44 to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.
45 , I wasn’t even sure it was
46 . Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He
47 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the
48 thing Bill cared about were possessions(财富). Now they seemed to be his main
49 . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow I never
50 Bill changing so much. My image of him
51 the one I had formed
52 the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s
53 to expect people to remain the same, especially
54 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he
55 the same way about me.
