    Vanilla is my best friend. She is a lovely girl with two big, beautiful eyes. But she always hides them 1 a pair of black glasses.

    One day, however, I 2  ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were 3  in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese exam. I had done badly. I felt so 4 that I wouldn't talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a  5. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,” she said. “What's wrong?” I looked at her for a while, but said  6. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark(分数) in the exam. I thought she was  7 me. I sat silently, but Vanilla didn't go away. She  8 asking me questions: “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to tell you the right  9?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I didn't know 10 to do. I looked for my paper everywhere, but couldn't find it.

    In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and 11 me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big 12. Vanilla had written the right answers next to every one of my mistakes. How  13 she was! My face turned red. I wanted to hug her, but I only held her hands and said, “Thank you.” That afternoon,  14 Vanilla and I were on the way home, I felt quite happy and thanked her again. We are  15 best friends.

    It is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.

    One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.

    After a few days, I went to see Diana with some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless.

    “Never mind,” Vivien said, “I'm used to it.”

    After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, “Go and join your ‘dear’Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”

    For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, “I'm really sorry about what I did. I'm a spoiled(宠坏的) girl, but I also need good friends just like you. Would you please forgive(原谅) me?” Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled. From then on, Diana, Vivien and I have been best friends.

—And she is _______ friendly girl. 

Hello, everyone. My name is Alice. I usually go to school by bus, but the day before Christmas, I ride a bike to school. On my way, I find a box lying on the road. I stop my bike and pick up the box. I open it and see a beautiful new dress in it. How I want to have a new dress as my Christmas present! I think it looks cool on me, but I must give it back to the owner (物主). There is no time to wait for the owner because I may be late for school. So I give it to a policeman.

At night, Mum asks me to put a box under the Christmas tree and says I will get a nice present tomorrow. The next morning, I get up early and run to the Christmas tree. I can't wait to open the box. I find a beautiful dress and it is just the same dress as I see on the road. A note in it says, "Alice, you are our good girl. This is the dress you find on your way to your school. I lose (丢失) it on my way. Mum"
