3 . Naima Souissi and Saida Chehbouni cried as they hugged for the first time in 16 years when they met up in New York City. Their daughters, Nissma Bencheikh, 19, and Roaya Jannatipour, 18, met when they were both freshmen (大一新生) at the University of California, Berkeley. The two became fast friends. “We hit it off right away. We’re both pre-med (医科大学预科班的) and Canadian,” said Nissma.
The two had such a great bond (联系) that they decided to share an apartment during their second year, and on the move-in day the pair made a surprising discovery. “I was having a video chat with my mom in my room, and I thought I’d bring her out to meet Nissma’s dad,” Roaya said. Nissma added, “They talked for only a few minutes ... but in that short time we realized that not only were they neighbors, but our moms were actually best friends 16 years ago.”
The two friends, who at first thought they had met for the first time at university, even found out that they had photos together as babies that their mothers took. The two even found out that their mothers went to college together.
Sixteen years ago, their life separated the two best friends after Roaya’s family moved from Canada to California, and Nissma’s family relocated to northern Virginia, putting a distance of over 2,000 miles between the families.
Roaya said her mother had recently been trying to find Nissma’s mother on Facebook, and that when the two first separated they both did not have a computer or even a phone, making it difficult to keep in touch.
Before their reunion, Nissma told ABC News that she was excited that the pair met again, saying, “A best friend is a best friend even when 16 years passed.”

6 . How to make new friends
We tend to make friends with people we cross paths with regularly: people we go to school with, work with, or live close to.
Meet new people
When looking to meet new people, try to open yourself up to new experiences. Not everything you try will lead to success but you can always learn from the experience and hopefully have some fun. Volunteering can be a great way to help others while also meeting new people.
Connect with your schoolfellow association
Many schools have schoolfellow associations that meet regularly. You already have the school experience in common.
Even if you’ve lived in the same place all your life, take the time to re-explore your neighborhood attractions. New arrivals to any town or city tend to visit these places first—and they’re often keen to meet new people and establish friendships, too.
Take a moment to unplug
It’s difficult to meet new people in any social situation if you’re more interested in your phone than the people around you.
A.Cheer on your team like a member |
B.Behave like someone new to your area |
C.Check with your library or local paper for events near you |
D.And bringing up old times makes for an easy conversation starter |
E.The more we see someone, the more likely a friendship is to develop |
F.Put your smartphone away while you’re waiting for a bus, for example |
G.It also gives you the opportunity to regularly develop your social skills |
1. What are the speakers doing?

A.He is very clever. | B.He is a professor. | C.He is active in sports. |

A.The man’s wife. | B.The man’s colleague. | C.The man’s doctor. |
“Here you go,” Melanie said, handing Ava a pink envelope.
“Thanks.” Ava said. “But what is it?”
“An invitation to my pool party. It’s Saturday at two. There will be a lot of fun things to do. You are going to love it so much. Do come, please.” Melanie kept talking but Ava wasn’t listening.
The words “pool party” echoed (回响) through her mind. Ava had a secret she didn’t even tell her best friend Melanie — Ava couldn’t swim. Every time she tried to learn, she’d wind up with water up her nose and she’d be out of the pool as quickly as possible.
“You’re coming, right?” Melanie said
“Huh?” Ava jumped.
“Do you think you could come a little early? I could use your help inflating (使充气) the floating basketball hoops (篮筐) and the ball. And I will need you to help me set the tables.”
Ava didn’t know what to say. Melanie was one of her best friends. She couldn’t miss her party. But she didn’t want the whole school to find out she couldn’t swim. That would be too embarrassing. “I think I might be busy this Saturday,” Ava said, lowering her head. She saw the disappointment on Melanie’s face. “Maybe I could stop by for a little while, but I definitely wouldn’t have time to swim.”
Ava spent the rest of the school day trying to avoid Melanie’s questions about what she had to do on Saturday and why she couldn’t stay for the whole party. Ava felt awful. That night she asked her parents to ground her or make other plans so she couldn’t go to Melanie’s party.
“Ava, this is silly,” her mother said. “Melanie is your best friend. She won’t care that you can’t swim.” Ava wasn’t so sure.
“Just be honest with Melanie. She will understand you,” her father said.

When Saturday arrived, Ava’s parents drove her to the party right on time.

Jimmy and Bob who were raised in New York were childhood best friends. When Bob was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty, Bob set out for the West to make his fortune. They parted at “Big Joe’ Brady’s” and made a promise to get together at the same place after twenty years. However, at the appointed time and place, it turned out that Bob became a criminal while Jimmy was a policeman. Jimmy did his duty and Bob was put into prison. Having spent 20 years in jail, Bob was finally released. Now 58, felt lost and helpless.
“Twenty years is a long time,” he smiled bitterly, not knowing where to go. He had no family, and had never heard a word from Jimmy again since that cold, dark night. “Was he ashamed of having a friend like me?” Bob longed for an answer.
“Excuse me, sir, are you Bob?” Bob heard the voice of a young man.
“Yes.” He turned around and was surprised to find a familiar-looking man in his thirties. “Have we met before?”
“No, sir,” replied the man. “My father told me to meet you today. I have a note for you from him.”
Doubtfully, Bob unfolded the note. His hands were shaking by the time he had finished reading.
Bob, the doctor says I’ve only got three months. I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet you this time, but you’ll always be my dear friend.
Jimmy
“You’re Jimmy’s son?!” Bob shouted in surprise.

“Yes, sir,” the young man smiled. “And my name is Bob.”
