There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
——Elmer G Letterman
Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my 36 bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was 37 .
On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me.
Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t 38 a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”.
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the 39 letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no 40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter. 41 each passing day, my 42 grew.I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I 43 try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her. 44 my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
My first 45 was automatic.“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had 46 .Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed, 47 , “Should I keep trying or...?”
The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d 48 a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to 49 .
After two years of 50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big 51 .She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her.I 52 her.I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her 53 .
I have realized true friends never really lose their special 54 .Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to, 55 she tries hard.
What more could a friend ask for?
36.A.cold B.empty C.small D.dirty
37.A.uneasy B.uncertain C.uninteresting D.unbearable
38.A.just B.only C.even D.hardly
39.A.longest B.best C.simplest D.funniest
40.A.return B.information C.message D.response

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
【小题1】Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A.He was silent most of the time. | B.He was too proud of himself. |
C.He did not love his children. | D.He expected too much of her. |
A.nervous | B.sorry | C.tired | D.safe |
A.More critical. | B.More talkative |
C.Gentle and friendly. | D.Strict and hard-working. |
A.the author’s son | B.the author’s father |
C.the friend of the author’s father | D.the café owner |
