2 . A 99-year-old woman and a high school student in British Columbia have formed a wonderful friendship through a program that connects seniors with young people.
Myrtle MacDonald, 99, says she signed up for the local program after feeling lonely because her daughter and son couldn’t keep her company. She was paired (结对子) with Jaelyn Brown,17, based on their common interest — nursing. “I just found her more interested and less in a hurry than I expected. It has filled an empty spot,” said MacDonald.
For the high school students taking part, the time spent with seniors can be used toward volunteer hours needed for graduation. They’re supposed to speak for 30 minutes each week, but many go far beyond that. “I love and look forward to getting to talk to her every week. We talk about an hour and 15 minutes, and the time just goes by so quickly,” said Brown.
MacDonald, a former nurse, spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need. The stories are inspiring to Brown, who also wants to become a nurse. “In high school they kind of say you go to school, you get a job, you have kids. It's are gular practice but talking to her has made me realize I don't have to limit myself to one thing. I can have it all,” she said.
The program has been a good fortune to both seniors and high school students. Due to various reasons, seniors can't meet with their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours. “Therefore, there's been a huge positive response from them,” said the program’s organizer Connie Stam.
1. How do the high school students help the seniors?| A．By contacting their relatives. | B．By communicating with them. |

| C．Helpful. | D．Powerful. |
| A．A Good Friend Is A Close Relative | B．True Friendship Bridges Age Gaps |

3 . We moved to Elmont in 1956. I was 4 years old. Elmont was a wonderful place to grow up. There were lots of kids，great schools and we had a big yard. Having grown up a city kid, my father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and climbed trees.
My father had the most amazing hands. He could fix anything. He gave those amazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs and he shared his love of gardening with me.
Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and purchased a fig tree for Dad for Father’s Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard.
He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after Sandy hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the superstorm froze all the remaining figs.
In 2015，my father died of aspirating pneumonia (呼吸性肺炎) at 97. We sold our family home of 61years last year. We left behind Dad's tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We briefly-considered taking it with us, but decided that his Father's Day fig tree belonged in Elmont. The new owners generously allowed me to take some branches so that I could have a precious reminder of my much-loved father and the Elmont home.

4 . A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app(跟踪应用程序)on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. " Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 73 % of teens having their own smart phones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not ?
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. "I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,“ she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone,“ he said. For example, his daughter must “friend“ him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.
When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. "Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them,“ said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.

5 . You should always support your kids and their natural talents. And if you nurture them, great things will happen. That's what 9-year-old Joe Whale's parents thought when they encouraged their son to keep drawing, even though he got into trouble for doodling （涂鸦） during class.
They sent Joe to an after-school art class and his artistic abilities were quickly noticed by those around him. In fact, Joe was invited to decorate the dining room of the “Number 4” restaurant in Shrewsbury, England. Now, Joe is known as The Doodle Boy and has his own website, as well as social media pages showing off his awesome art.
According to Greg, Joe's dad, his son has always loved drawing and "was added to the Gifted register in primary school aged 4”. Greg also revealed how long it took Joe to finish his drawings on the dining room walls in the restaurant. "Joe spent about 12 hours illustrating the wall.”
What's more, Greg had some proposals for parents who want to encourage their kids to develop their talent: "I would advise parents to encourage their children to always follow their passion and dreams - research local workshops or groups within your local community ”
Joe's teacher recognized his talent and posted his work on Instagram. His drawings caught the eye of the “Number 4" restaurant which asked him to come over and decorate their walls with his doodles. Now, his dad drives him there so he can draw his heart out. Who knew that drawing in an after-class program would lead Joe to get his first job at barely 9 years old?

Dear Jane,
Hello, Jane. I want to tell you anything about my trip. Yesterday it was sun and a little windy. I went to a park for a trip with my classmates. Since a park is far away, we took a bus to there. What beautiful the park was! We swam in the pool then played volleyball. We took a lot of food and eat it for lunch under a big tree. Then we listened to musics and had a rest. In the afternoon, we went fish and took lots of photos. Both of us had a great time in the park.
Yours,
Gina

Jenny is one of my best friend who I grew up with from the age of 2. However, she moved to Italy 9 years ago because a change in her parents' work. Last year she came back to our hometown in his summer vacation. Missed her so much, I immediately went to the airport to picking her up. On meeting, we tight hugged each other. We started to talk about the past joy moments we shared together. She brings a memorial little sculpture of our favorite cartoon character in our childhood but the newly updated series of the novels to me as gifts. How a kind and considerate she was!
9 . How to Make Friends
Meeting new people and making friends can be difficult, but with a little effort and willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, you can easily make friends.
Pursue common interests. If you've discovered that the person you're talking to shares a common interest with you, ask them more about it and, if appropriate, whether they get together with others to pursue this interest. If so, this is a perfect opportunity to ask about joining them.
Be reliable. When you say you'll do something, do it.
Keep in touch with your friends. People often lose contact with their friends because they're either too busy or just don't value their friends enough.
| A．Make yourself available |
| B．Choose your friends wisely |
| C．If you clearly express interest |
| D．It doesn’t have to be a crowded table |
| E．When you lose your connection with a friend |
| F．This gives the person the opportunity to contact you |
| G．Be someone that people know that they can count on |
