It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.

But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”

Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to say?” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it?”

I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.

That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”

Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”

I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

4 . Two-time cancer survivor Tracy Pepper has developed an unlikely friendship — with a beautiful butterfly, which she called Fluffy.

Ms. Pepper found Fluffy in her garden struggling for life soon after birth. After feeding it on honey from a sunflower, Fluffy recovered but didn’t regain the use of its wings and has remained with Ms. Pepper ever since.   

She has been recording the experience on social media. In one post, she wrote, “I’m the crazy butterfly lady! I just spent 3 hours playing with him, exercising him by walking him up and down my fingers and arms, feeding him and even giving him the feeling of flying! He sat on my hand and beat his wings as I moved my hand up and down pretending he was flying!”

Ms. Pepper said it was sympathy and empathy that drove her. After battling against cancer twice and keeping herself busy with aid work in Africa, she fell into a “depression” last year.   

“When I found him helpless and unable to fly, I knew just how he felt. I went through burn-out last year. I wanted to give up… I felt really lonely.”   

So she decided to help the insect, to which she has become attached. Ms. Pepper even advertised tickets of internationally-famous Cirque du Soleil’s act she had for sale because she thought staying at home to care for Fluffy was more important.   

Unfortunately, Fluffy wouldn’t be around for long — the lifespan of a butterfly ranges from two to six weeks.

But she seemed to care little about it. She wrote on Facebook, “He has a wonderful life and when his time comes, he will die flat and happy and very very loved.”

1. What was the butterfly like when Ms. Pepper first saw it?

A．It was dying.

B．It was too old to fly.

C．It was struggling against an enemy.

D．It was feeding itself on honey from a sunflower.

2. Why did Ms. Pepper sell the tickets of Cirque du Soleil’s act?

A．Because she lost interest in the act.

B．Because she had to stay home to look after the butterfly.

C．Because she was busy with aid work in Africa.

D．Because she suffered from cancer twice and was too weak.

3. What was Ms. Pepper’s attitude towards the early death of the butterfly?

A．She felt sorry about it.	B．She remained calm about it.
C．She was rather disappointed with it.	D．She had some doubts about it.

4. Why did Ms. Pepper save the butterfly and become friends with it?

A．Because she was interested and curious.

B．Because she loved small animals.

C．Because she showed sympathy and understanding for it.

D．Because she desired to get close to nature.

Dear Li Hua,

I found myself addicted (痴迷;上瘾) to cell phone terribly. Every day, I spend so much time in playing my cell phone that I can’t devote myself to my homework. Worse still, my eyes sometimes feel painful after watching the small screen for a long time. Last, the relation (关系) between me and my families or friends are getting worse because we lack (缺乏) face-to-face talks. I know cell-phone addiction is harmful to me, but I just don’t know how to quit (停止) it. Could you please give me some advice on it?

Yours Sincerely，

Shirley

6 . When someone moves into the neighborhood, it’s a good opportunity to make a friend.     1    . So making the first move will be a welcome gesture.

    2    .

Make the first step by paying a visit to your neighbors. Make your visit brief at first, just a few minutes, so you don’t completely overwhelm（压倒，淹没） them in the beginning. Once you break the ice, conversations will be easier to go forward. Your neighbors will tend to ask you for things about the area, get restaurant suggestions, or just gossip about their day,     3    . They’ll want to know about some new children in the neighborhood they can play with, too.

    4    .

Offer to show them around your area by pointing out the grocery stores, playgrounds and restaurants. This is an especially good option for inward individuals, who can enjoy the conversation when you introduce your neighborhood. End your tour with a stop at the coffee shop, where you can buy them a cup of coffee before heading home.

Invite them to a community event.

    5    ? This will help you welcome the new people and anyone else you haven’t connected with yet in your neighborhood. You can do this by having a block party or inviting them to a community event, a farmers’ market, a library sale, or something similar.

A．Have dinner with them

B．Give them a walking tour

C．Introduce yourself and say hello

D．If you have kids, be sure to bring them along

E．Some people feel comfortable inviting new people over for a home-cooked meal

F．Your neighbors will want to get acquainted (熟识的) with everyone and even the whole new community

G．What can be a better way to get closer to your neighbors than by inviting them to an event.
