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．

参考译文

杰克住在海边的一座小城。他喜欢海滩，也喜欢夏天来此观光的游客。两岁时他家搬到了这里。现在，11年过去了，他要升8年级了。杰克有许多朋友，而且是真正的好朋友，他就读的学校几乎是崭新的。他喜欢篮球。他作为7年级的选手参加比赛，下一个赛季他将成为首发五人之一。

一天吃早饭的时候，杰克的爸爸告诉大家，他的工作有了变动，他们家准备搬到另一个州的大城市去。杰克很生气，也很失望。他不喜欢大城市，他知道离开朋友的日子会很难过。

来到新学校的第一天，他就发现这里要陈旧得多，而且学生似乎不喜欢和他交朋友。

“我真的很恨这所学校，”那天晚上吃晚饭时杰克说，“为什么我们不能搬回原来的地方呢？我的朋友都在那里”。

杰克的母亲问他是否真的在试着交新朋友。杰克没有回答。他沉浸在对往日美好时光的回想中，那时他和老朋友们一起到海边嬉戏，一起到体育馆锻炼。

第二天，当杰克得知这所新学校甚至连运动会都不举办时，他的失望加深了。这里也没有篮球队。他很想告诉新学校的同学们他对这个地方的真实感受，但内心深处的某种东西告诉他，他最好还是把这种想法藏在心底。
