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.

It’s the Year of the Rat!

Millions of people crowded onto trains and buses across China on Wednesday. They were hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holiday, the Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. Thursday marked the end of the Year of the Pig, and the beginning of the Year of the Rat. But for a while, it looked as if severe winter weather in some regions of China would put a deep freeze on the celebrations. Due to dangerous conditions, airlines, railways and highways across the country were forced to shut down for the past few weeks. Many travelers were worried that they would not make it home for the holidays. Luckily, the crisis started winding down just in time for some roads and railways to reopen on Lunar New Year’s Eve.

More than one billion people worldwide celebrate the Lunar New Year. In China, people from Beijing to Guangzhou enjoy a holiday. Businesses and government offices are closed. Many people go to temples to pray for good fortune for the future. The Lunar New Year is celebrated at the second new moon after the winter solstice（冬至）.

On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks, family gatherings, and festivals. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance. The lion is considered a holy animal. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions（or holding up elaborate paper lions in the air） perform to bring good luck to the people they visit at their homes or businesses. People often wear red, which symbolizes fire. Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck. The 15-day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and visits to friends and families. The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival, when brightly colored lamps are hung in parks around China.

44. When the Spring Festival comes, trains and buses are usually crowed because________.

A. millions of people hurried to go abroad for travelling

B. millions of people are hurrying home to get together with their folks

C. at this time the transportation cost is at the lowest point

D. millions of people hurried to send firecrackers to their home

45. Why were many travellers worried whether they would go home for the Year of the Rat?

A. Because a deep freeze hit some regions of China.

B. Because many transportation companies have a holiday.

C. Because some roads and railways won’t reopen in a long time.

D. Because businesses and government offices are closed.

46. Where do people usually go to beg for their good luck?

A. Government offices                B. Business offices

C. Temples                                 D. Beijing

47. In order to bring good luck to the people they visit, dancers dress themselves________.
