kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago,we"ve both
always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people
she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he
experimented with drugs and was into other selfdestructive behaviour. I was blown away! She told me
how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy
because they didn"t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better,
she didn"t believe me. Her selfrespect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was
getting nowhere. I just couldn"t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with a bunch
of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so
frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just
grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn"t. I put the power of friendship to the final test.
We"d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to
save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and
then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone
with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had
I been so proud of a friend.
B. could find a better boyfriend
C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice
D. didn"t value the writer"s suggestion
B. Her friend"s parents would be worried about their daughter.
C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
D. Her friend"s boyfriend would be in great trouble.
B. understood her friend"s hanging with her boyfriend
C. couldn"t believe that her friend"s choice was acceptable
D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend
B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.
C. Friendship should be everlasting once begun.
D. Friendship can have magical power in life.

举一反三
for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?
What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?
On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister"s
family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence.
Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks
and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to
them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert
made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft
meat. "Amy, your favorite." he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her
fine cooking. "It"s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied." explained my father to our
astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to
bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me ,"You want to be the same as American girls on the
outside." She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt ."But inside you must always be Chinese. You
must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame."
It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her
particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.
Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie"s basement. As I opened
the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes.
I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more
paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
"Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint." She
screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered
all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my
house, we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors
turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It
was my mother. I couldn"t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and
from the look on my mother"s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the
world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors"
trees, but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she
had insulted (侮辱) my art.
"Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my
beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when
I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of
rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C. To put the materials back in the yard.
D. To show his artwork to her.
B. always caused trouble
C.was a problem solver
D. worked very hard
B. the stripes on the pavement
C. something imaginative and fun
D. important lessons learned in childhood
B. value friendship among children
C. discover the hidden talent in children
D. protect rather than destroy children"s dreams
myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a
huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman
stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and
reassuring-and I returned her gift by smiling back.
"Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers," she said.
"Yes, she"s special," I said, and then to my embarrassment ,the words kept coming out. "It"s only our
second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she"s" the one."" jokingly, I added, "The only
problem is that I can"t figure out why she"d want to date a guy like me."
"Well, I think she"s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is
obviously in love with her." the woman said. "My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even
when times were tough and we didn"t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very
romantic and-of course-I miss him since he"s passed away."
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I
walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, "You were right, you know. These flowers are
indeed for a very special lady." I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased ."You have a
wonderful evening." I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the
beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple
of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story
had helped to seal it for her-that was the night that I won her heart.
B. He had to go back to school soon.
C. He was delayed by an elderly lady.
D. He had to pick up some groceries.
B. Her smile.
C. Her flowers.
D. Her politeness.
B. She allowed him to pay first.

D. She liked flowers very much.
B .Small talk is helpful.
C. Love and kindness are rewarding.
