【2012•潍坊三县联考】Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue on in its 1 way, but mine couldn't. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to face 2 and their gossip at school. I was forced to 3 my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from school 4 completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 5 into bed and wallow(沉迷于)in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 6 a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a(n) 7 that it was to be opened on a 8 night that week.
