The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. Marci? I asked.It IS you! she cried out, smiling broadly. Gosh, its good to see you again!It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, Ive wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci.

Apology accepted!” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it .It isnt enough to just say “Im sorry” and Youre forgiven. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured souleven years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.1、What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?AHappy. BBusy. CHard. DSimple.2、What does the underlined word “jerk”
