B(2023·泰州市靖江期末)
① My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday. She knows the one I have is old. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don't feel like I am free to use this new address book because I'm still tied to my old one.
② My address book tells my own story—the way I moved around. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again.
③ There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their addresses have been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows(箭头) to show how these two families had become one. Children's names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out.
④ This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations(一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book.
⑤ "Don't you have all that on your phone?" My daughter, who never uses address books, asked me once when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is super useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don't see a person any more, you delete(删除) all his information. It's like he was never there.
⑥ My old address book now sits on top of the new one. The magnet(磁铁) on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven't met yet. I'll get to it. It's just a matter of time.
