When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.”   36   tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily   37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for   38  friendship to   39 .
However, there can be   40  disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our   41   the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or   42   at arm’s length? Do we want to   43  ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are   44  enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to   45   that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of   46  experience   47  our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it   48  be undertaken（進行）slowly and carried on only if there are   49  of interest and action in return.
What are some of the   50  of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships   51  time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships   52  actions in return. In   53  words, you must give as much as you take.
Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend   54  time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die   55 .?

HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.

So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in A Night as Roxbury, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots(白癡). Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
“As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a lit­tle bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”
小題1:What had Loni Anderson probably played most in her past film career?
A．Pretty young girls.B．Old mothers.
C．Foolish persons.D．Rich women.

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（節(jié)拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
小題1:When his wife left home. Brad expected to           .
A．go out for a walk in the park
B．watch TV talk show with his children
C．enjoy his first day off work
D．read the newspaper to his children
小題2:Which of the following did Randy do?
A．Drawing on the wallB．Eating apple jam
C．Feeding the fish.D．Reading in a room
小題3:Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?
A．Because he wanted to clean up his house.
B．Because he suddenly had to go to his office
C．Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.
D．Because he had to take his wife back
小題4:This text is developed           .
A．by spaceB．by comparison C．by process D．by time

The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ” .
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success.
