Tapping on the windshield (

挡风玻璃

) to get his attention, I asked, “Is your taxi available?”

He looked up at me, nodding, “I’m sorry. I was reading a letter.”

“I’m in no hurry,

”

I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”

He shook his head, “I’ve read it several times.”

“Letters from home always mean a lot.” I said.

“This isn’t family.” he replied, “Old Ed was my oldest friend. He was a nice guy.”

“You said ‘was’. Does that mean—?”

He nodded, “Died a few weeks ago.”

“I’m sorry.”

After a brief silence, I heard him repeat: “I should have kept in touch. But things come up and we

just don’t seem to find the time.”

“We used to find the time,” he handed the letter over to me. “Take a look.”

The letter began with “Old Friend,” and then referred to the good times they had had together.

“For the last 30 years it’s been mostly just Christmas cards. Never a real letter. I’m not good at

writing.” He added.

“It must have made you feel good, didn’t it?” I said.

The driver said something I couldn’t understand. As we were getting close to our destination, I

skipped to the last paragraph. It was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.

“Your friend’s name was Ed. Why did he sign it Tom?”

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new

friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be.

Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school

for a hundred years!

The day started very early at 7: 00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell

that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry

about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said to send them her

way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.

My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (

金发

的

) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (

招手

) at me. She ran over and told me

her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning

together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day

and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we

would really start learning and developing new skills.

I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new

school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.

“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless

，

” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems

that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me

？

”

Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or

character — even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular — experience loneliness at least

sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard

“No man is an island.” That's true. We all need others in our lives.

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and

reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (

拒绝

), many of us are

unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us.

But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.

If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (

措施

).

Be willing to take the initiative (

主动权

). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't

wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a

non-aggressive (

无攻击性的

) way that you are interested in being friends with her.

Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk

to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the

beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.

Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or

asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For

example, don't ask “Do you have a dog

” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding

asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a

one-word answer.

12. Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry?

A

．

To set a sad tone.

B

．

To share Lisa's pain.

C

．

To introduce the topic.

D

．

To teach readers a lesson.

13. What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage?

A

．

Being refused by others.

B

．

Putting ourselves in danger.

B

．

She was shy and quiet.

D

．

She was an old friend of the author.

C

．

Being treated in a rude way.

D

．

Losing interest in communicating.

14. What can we know from Paragraph 5?

A

．

Shy people are hard to talk to.

B

．

Popular people are often easy-going.

C

．

Just waiting for chances will waste our time.

D

．

A proper manner is important in making friends.

15. Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions?

A

．

It is considered unfriendly.

B

．

It will leave a bad first impression.

C

．

It shows the poor quality of the speaker.

D

．

It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.

How to deal with small fish when catching

Learning how to fish involves more than catching and storing fish. It is often necessary to release a

fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to

eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure to keep fish variety and build their population

size. 16

When catching a small fish, do not land it, or pull it out of water. 17

Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. 18 It might cause it to develop a disease

and reduce its chance of survival.

19 If the hook (

鱼钩

) is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The

hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.

Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle

and is able to swim.

Do not hold fish in a bucket (

水桶

) or some other containers and later decide to release it. 20

With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a

better chance of survival.

A

．

Pull the fish up quickly.

B

．

Remove your hook quickly.

C

．

Use a fishing tool if necessary.
