In the last basketball game, the players the best in each other.

She is my best friend and she really me.

A young man wanted to be an office boy at a very big company(公司).

The manager asked him some questions, and gave him a test: cleaning the floor." You are hired." said the manager." Give me your e-mail address."

The man said," I don't have an e-mail address." "I am sorry," said the manager." If you don't have an e-mail address, it's impossible(不可能) to get the job."

The man left with no hope of getting the job. He didn't know what to do. He only had $10. He decided to buy 10kg of tomatoes. Then he sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, his money doubled(加倍). He did three times, and went home with $40. The man though the could make a living this way, and started to sell tomatoes early in the morning, and go home late every night.

Three years later, the man became rich(富有的) and successful. He decided to get some life insurance(寿险).

He called an insurance agent(经纪人). When they finished the conversation, the agent asked him for his e-mail address.

"You don't have an e-mail address, but you are so successful now," said the agent." If you had an e-mail address，you would be more successful."

The man thought long and answered," No. If I did, I would just be an office boy."

Cindy, Jerry and Mary are giving their opinions(观点) about a good friend.

Cindy: I think a good friend should be honest(诚实的). That's more important than any other thing.

Jerry: I think a good friend has to be generous. Here" generous" doesn't mean(意思是) he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share(分享) his ideas and feelings(感情) with his friends.

Mary: In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends' place and think more for his friends.

Do you have a friend for life? I have one. My friend is an outgoing girl. Her name is Cicy. I think she's a real princess. It has been over six years since she became my best friend. And now she is studying in Hangzhou.

She is a little fatter than me. She is much taller than me. I think she is a pretty girl.

I stood in front of her house and saw her taking her bag to the car. I coughed uneasily. Cicy turned towards me with a sad smile." I am leaving for Hangzhou in ten minutes," she said." I know." I was afraid to see her eyes so I did not look at her. I wanted to cry but I knew I must be brave." I hope you can get better grades during the following term." After seeing the sad look on my face, she quickly added." I'll be back soon." I tried to say something to thank her but I found I couldn't say anything. " Oh, well... bye." My tears nearly came out. So did hers.

I remember the day on which she cried sadly on my shoulder. I remember the day on which she took off her clothes when I felt cold. I remember the day...
