107、. They were completely different from my own family. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was always important to place blame（责备、责怪）when anything had happened. From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on（告

108、发）each other. The Whites, however, didnt worry about who had done what. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane were college students, and

109、the youngest, Amy, had recently turned 16. Proud of having a new drivers license, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Amy go

110、t behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. No one would ever know whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign, but Amy didnt stop at the crossroads and a large truck ran into our car. Jane was killed at once. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I had ever

111、 done was to call the Whites to tell them what happened. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on her head; Amys leg w

To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “ 5 . ”I was astonished.

113、No blame. No accusations（控诉，指责）. Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign. Mr. White said, “Jane is gone and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a

114、happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death?”They were right. Amy graduated from the University and got married several years ago.
