6 . We were talking about jeans. When we should have been carefully studying our volleyball teammates on the court, or at the very least cheering them on, Lacey and I were in a deep discussion about the suffering of trying on jeans with our moms, an unpleasant experience only two tweens forced to wear school uniforms 95% of the year could truly have. This was 1995 and if there was one thing 12-year-olds could agree on, it was how badly they were treated when it came to jeans. “My mom will be like, ‘We can make them fit!’” I told Lacey with a smile.

Inside jokes like these would become the foundation of our friendship. When you’re in middle school, finding a friend to commiserate(同情)with is a matter of survival, and I found the very best. And then in high school, whether it was buying Starbucks after class or joining after-school clubs, we rarely did anything apart. Teachers and students alike felt surprised when they’d see one of us without the other we were that connected.

So it’s amazing that even though we put 3,000 miles between us in college and have spent at least two-thirds of our friendship that far away, we’re still best friends. A real achievement for two wildly different people: I think of Lacey as calm, cool and collected, whereas I am a bit more high-strung(易激动的). She’s raising three beautiful children. I have one. She grew up in a farm family. I was raised by a doctor and an actress. Any algorithm(计算程序)would likely say we’re not a match, but I can’t imagine my life without her.

Part of it is luck. I just happened to sit next to a super girl that day in the sports center. But more likely, it’s the effort we both put into staying close even as we were physically apart.

1. What did the author and Lacey go through when they were 12 years old?

A．They had difficulty in making friends.	B．They found it hard to cheer themselves up.
C．They were forced to wear clothes they disliked.	D．They had no chance to play for the volleyball team.

2. What can we learn about the author and Lacey in high school?

A．They started a club.	B．They became best friends.
C．They set a good example to others.	D．They enjoyed each other’s company.

3. What happened after the author went to college?

A．She kept up a long-distance friendship with Lacey.

B．She suddenly realized how different Lacey and she were.

C．She became as calm, cool and self-controlled as Lacey.

D．She achieved many impressive things just like Lacey did.

4. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．Keeping a friendship takes work.	B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．Friendship is love with understanding.	D．The only way to have a friend is to be one.

7 . 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Mary and Brad Gersh loved their son. They had planned on having a big family, but several years ago, Mary was injured and couldn’t have a baby again because of it. So the Gershs decided to adopt one.

One day, Mary and Brad were told that they would be receiving their new baby—a girl—in the next two weeks. They decided to tell Eddie the news, but were worried he couldn’t accept it. After all, Eddie had been an only child for eight years.

On Saturday morning after breakfast, Mary said to Eddie, “Eddie, we want to talk to you.” Eddie looked at his parents, surprised.

“Well, Eddie,” Brad started. “We had talked to you about maybe giving you a new little brother or sister?”

“Yeah!” Eddie said. “You mentioned that.”

“Well,” Mary smiled, ”you will be getting a sister soon.”

“A sister?” asked Eddie. “How old is this kid?”

“She’s just been born.” Mary explained.

“Just born?” Eddie asked, frowning(皱眉). “A baby that small…Eddie looked worried.

“You’ll need to look after her all the time!” Brad was starting to look worried. “Eddie, that doesn’t mean we won’t have time for you…”

“So she will be crying all the time.” Eddie said. “And she will be…” Saying this, Eddie stood up slowly, deep in thought, and then walked upstairs.

“Eddie,” Mary cried. “Wait!”

“Let him go,“ Brad advised. ”He needs time. This is a big change in his life. We’ll talk to him again later. ”

Three hours later, Mary went upstairs, only to find Eddie was gone! His piggy bank lay broken on the bed.

“Brad!” Mary cried. “Eddie’s run away!”

“What?” cried Brad. “Ran away?”

“He took his money…” Mary was crying. “Oh, Brad, he probably thinks we will pay more attention to the baby…”

“Calm down, Mary,” Brad said. “We will call his friends. If he is not with them, we will call the police.”

Mary and Brad called all of Eddie’s friends, but none of them knew where he was. The couple was about to call the police when they heard the front door open.

8 . How to Make Friends at Community College

Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases. Students don’t typically dorm at community colleges, so there isn’t always a shared living environment.    1    Here’s a look at how to make friends at a community college.

Get hired on campus

While working part-time, most initial engagement involves assisting students with their needs. For example, if you work in the bookstore, the conversational icebreaker usually focuses on finding out what the other students need to find. Previously, you may have only had opportunities to socialize with other students in your classes.    2    .

Attend events

    3    . Whether it’s special lectures, career fairs, musical performances, or anything else, these occasions bring students together outside of the classroom. By participating in activities that correspond to their hobbies or preferences, you and your peers can meet other like-minded students. Plus, the event can be an initial topic of conversation, giving your peers an easy way to engage with others.

    4    

College work will occupy most of your day. Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable.    5    . You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.

A．Work out with a partner

B．Find a job in your gym

C．You may start to see some new faces at your job though.

D．However, that doesn’t mean opportunities aren’t available

E．Community colleges offer programs that are two years long

F．Community colleges do hold a variety of activities throughout the year

G．Finding yourself an exercise buddy will help encourage you to become more active
