Jack lived in a small town near the sea．He loved the beaches and the visitors who came in summer．His family had moved there when he was two years old．Now，eleven years later，he was going to enter the eighth grade．Jack had lots of friends，really good friends，and the school he went to was almost new．He loved basketball．He played as a seventh grader，and he was going to be in the starting five during the coming season．

One morning at the breakfast table，Jack's dad told everybody that there would be a change about his job，and the family would be moving to a large city in another state．Jack was angry and terribly disappointed．He didn't like big cities，and he knew that leaving his friends would be very hard．

On his first day he found this new school was much older，and it seemed that the students didn't like to make friends with him．

“I really hate this school，”Jack said at the dinner table that night．“Why can't we move back where all my friends are？”

Jack's mother asked him if he was really trying to make new friends．Jack didn't answer．He was too busy thinking back over the great times he used to have with his old friends at the beach and during practices in the gym．

Jack's disappointment deepened the next day when he learned that his new school didn't even have sports．There was no basketball team！He felt like telling the kids in the new school exactly what he thought about the place，but something inside of him told him that he should keep his thoughts to himself．

參考譯文

杰克住在海邊的一座小城。他喜歡海灘，也喜歡夏天來此觀光的游客。兩歲時他家搬到了這里。現(xiàn)在，11年過去了，他要升8年級了。杰克有許多朋友，而且是真正的好朋友，他就讀的學校幾乎是嶄新的。他喜歡籃球。他作為7年級的選手參加比賽，下一個賽季他將成為首發(fā)五人之一。

一天吃早飯的時候，杰克的爸爸告訴大家，他的工作有了變動，他們家準備搬到另一個州的大城市去。杰克很生氣，也很失望。他不喜歡大城市，他知道離開朋友的日子會很難過。

來到新學校的第一天，他就發(fā)現(xiàn)這里要陳舊得多，而且學生似乎不喜歡和他交朋友。

“我真的很恨這所學校，”那天晚上吃晚飯時杰克說，“為什么我們不能搬回原來的地方呢？我的朋友都在那里”。

杰克的母親問他是否真的在試著交新朋友。杰克沒有回答。他沉浸在對往日美好時光的回想中，那時他和老朋友們一起到海邊嬉戲，一起到體育館鍛煉。

第二天，當杰克得知這所新學校甚至連運動會都不舉辦時，他的失望加深了。這里也沒有籃球隊。他很想告訴新學校的同學們他對這個地方的真實感受，但內心深處的某種東西告訴他，他最好還是把這種想法藏在心底。
