A
Last 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 at 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.

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one 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 pare 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 doing 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 space in your heart for them.

I think a close friend is someone you get on really well with, who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice, and who always has time for you. 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).
—Marie
I 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.
— Richard
I 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.
— Ana
8. What does David enjoy
A. Physical activity.
B. Parent-child camp.
C. Going to evening parties.
D. Playing out in the open alone.
9. What do we know about Ana’s friends
A. They are college students.
B. They are doing the same things.
C. They don’t live far away.
D. They don’t see each other often.
10. Who has more friends now than before
A. Ana. B. David.
C. Richard. D. Marie.
11. What does Richard say about friends
A. It’s hard to make friends at work.
B. They’re less important than family.
C. Friends need to have a lot in common.
D. Women and men can’t be close friends.

I jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as I could.When we were on our way to the airport,I couldn’t stop talking and smiling because I was too excited about getting our tickets.

When it was our turn, my mother said,“Three tickets to Florida on Christmas Eve please.”The lady working there responded,“Well, you guys are lucky.You got the last three tickets to Florida.”
