ALast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad took out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m a t last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.1. What does the author think of her father before her visit to Tucson?A.

The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ______.A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the cafe ownerBIf you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, on e reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other responsibilities that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal(叙旧)with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of their invitations can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be sure to receive a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count onto help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have got too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities(优先考虑的事)in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be overspent because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on d oing things yourself that could be appointed to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that your schedule has adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a spacein your heart for them.4.

I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy, but now I have several. They are all women—I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex (异性).—MarieI don’t really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work, and the kind of social occasions (场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties. I think if you come from a really close family, then friends are a bit unnecessary. The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.— RichardI think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time, and who you still get on with. They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I’ve got three close friends who I was at high school with and we often go away together (without our parents of course). We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking, play football and be outside in the open air.—David For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people —there are about seven of us, and I’d say we are all close friends. We also live near each other. I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance (在远处); you need to be able to see each other often. But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things. I mean I’m at university but none of my friends are.— Ana8. What does David enjoy?A. Physical activity.B. Parent-child camp.C. Going to evening parties.D. Playing out in the open alone.9.

Friends need to have a lot in common.D. Women and men can’t be close friends.DFarah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother.
