At the lower part of the photo she writes, “I still love you. Come back home!”

She couldn’t wait        back home. When she got home, it was early morning. She pushed the door. The door opened itself. She rushed to the bedroom at once. Her mother was sleeping there. She        her mother up, “It’s me! Your daughter is back home!” The mother and her daughter looked at each other in excitement, full of happy tears.

We believe that you’ll come back some day.”

I still remembered my first day of second grade.I was led to a room.No teacher yet.Girls talking.Boys trying to kill each other.

I took some paper and a pencil,picked a desk,and went to work.Minutes later,a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.

"What're you doing?"she said.

"Writing to 100,"I replied.

"Is that you can do?"

"No,"I said.

Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener.I had no idea that when I stood,the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.

Her name was Jane.From that day on﹣﹣she was my best friend.Wherever we went﹣﹣to school or church or basketball games,Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.

Many years later,after college,I moved to California and married.Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker.We were friends for more than 50years.After her death seven years ago,I still think of her often,especially at the start of the school year.

TV ads try to tell us what children need for school﹣new shoes,clothes,backpacks.But really,children's needs are simple.Besides the basics﹣to be fed,cared for,and loved﹣they need the gift of friendship.

For years,I feared how people saw me.But one day,I finally understood.I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular.I just needed to be kind.

My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for "Friendship".Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved.They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.

40.When she came into the classroom,the writer   

A.went to talk with Jane quickly

B.helped Jane write the numbers to 100

C.worked quietly at her desk alone

D.was afraid that others would fight with her

41.From the passage we know that   

A.the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of school

B.the two girls were close friends until Jane died

C.Jane often helped the writer to do some social work

D.the two girls stayed in the same city after college

42.Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because   

A.he was kind to others  

B.he was smart at his schoolwork

C.he was loved by his grandma

D.he joined in the Olympics

43.The best title of this article would be   

A.My Best Friend Jane       

B.How to Choose Friends

C.My First Day at School     

D.Friendship Values.

Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time, I'll take a close look at their bookshelves.What they keep on their shelves,in my eyes,is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests.The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.

    My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First up come my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four, The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full﹣time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.

    If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working,and probably where I was living at the time.

    ___▲____It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It's such a personal thing,different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on

shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.

    It's often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well﹣organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

    One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie's face was very sad.

    "Poor boy!" Jo thought. "He's all alone. He needs some friends." She couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

    Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

    "What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg.

    "To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.

    When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

    Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"

    Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".

    "I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"

    "Yes, very." he replied.

    "Don't your friends come to visit you?"

    "No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."

    "Girls are quiet."

    "I don't know any girls."

    "You know us."

    "That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.

    " I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.

     A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house. A servane took her upstairs.

    "Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."

    "That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

    Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

    "A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."

    "No, let's talk," replied Laurie.

    "All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."

    "You have three sisters﹣Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.

    "How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.

    "You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother."

    Jo felt sad when she heard this.

    "Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."

    "Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.

    "We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, " I'm glad we're friends now."

    She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

    "Wow!" she said, "All those books!"

    Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."
