Vanilla is my best friend. She is a lovely girl with two big, beautiful eyes. But she always hides them       a pair of black glasses.

One day, however, I       ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were       in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our re­sults of a Chinese exam. I had done badly. I felt so       that I wouldn't talk to anyone. At lunch-time, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Sudden­ly, I heard a      . It was Vanilla. "You look very unhappy," she said. "What's wrong?" I looked at her for a while, but said       . I knew Vanilla had got a good mark (分数) in the exam. I thought she was       me. I sat silently, but Vanilla didn't go away, she       asking me questions_: “Is it be­cause of the exam? Do you want me to tell you the right      ?" I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I didn't know        to do. I looked for my paper every where, but couldn't find it.

In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and       me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big      . Vanilla had written the right answers next to every one of my mistakes. How       she was! My face turned red. I wanted to hug her, but I only held her hands and said," Thank you. "That afternoon,       Vanilla and I were on the way home, I felt quite happy and thanked her again. We are        best friends.

American Classroom Rules
1. If the teacher asks a question, you should give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you don’t know the answer , it’s all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know . Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
2. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you can not go to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of missed homework.
3. You must not be absent(缺席) on a test day. If you are badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows you to take a makeup , you should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Bad illness is the only reason for missing a test.
4. Be on time! It’s not polite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the US, it is not necessary to knock at the door before you come into the classroom.
