I Believe
I believe-
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while（偶尔） and, you must forgive them for that. I believe- That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. （真爱也是一样。） I believe- That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. （一时所谓可能会导致一生心痛。） I believe- That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. |

用Miss还是用Ms？
While some Americans still use the title Miss for an unmarried woman, it is becoming rare in the United States, unless the speaker is referring to a very young girl or a beauty queen, e.g. Miss America 1990. Nowadays, the more politically correct title Ms is preferred for females in their late teens or older.
虽然有些美国人仍然用Miss来称呼未婚女性，但是这种说法实际上已经越来越少见了，除非称呼那些年幼的女孩或者选美冠军，如Miss America 1990 （1990年度美国小姐）。如今，称呼18、19或20岁往上年龄的女性，最保险而且最被广泛接受的称呼是Ms（女士）。 |
