The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the36person.
When I first knew Bill , back in37, he was one of the most carefree（无忧无虑）people I had ever38. He was always ready to have a party.

With him there was one wild43after another. Sometimes I wonder how we44to study for our exams.

I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 47most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the48thing Bill cared about were possessions(财富). Now they seemed to be his main49. Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow I never50Bill changing so much. My image of him51the one I had formed52the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s53to expect people to remain the same, especially54I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he55the same way about me.
