Too Late to RegretIt

When I was ajunior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall orgood-loo-king,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had somethingthat I

admired very much.Hewas natural,warm,and sincere.

I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We werevery happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after classwe would sit alongside the

stream that ranthrough campus, or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came froma poor family,but in order to make me

happy,he borrowedmoney from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.Our fellow studentslooked up to him as a role model,and the girls envied（妒忌）me. He wasn't

a local, but wantedto stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.

However,when I got apart-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot ofpressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy

to spend time with.This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown,so Iwas all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.

But his big heartand warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away.However,I had no idea howbadly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.

I had a goodpart-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance atschool,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best

universities.He,onthe other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about hisliving expenses,job and scores.

Almost all mycolleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrellast June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started

turning him away.

Graduation time wasdrawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me any more and he said hewanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in

despair.Why did he leaveher?

A.Because he couldno longer bear her.

B.Because he hatedher.

C.Because hisparents needed taking care of.

D.Because he wasn'ta local.
