To Wang Lun By Li Bai I, Li Bai, sit in a boat about to
go, When suddenly on shore your farewell songs overflow. However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be, It’s not so deep, O Wang Lun, as your love for me. A Time to Talk
By Robert Frost
When a friend calls to me from the
road And slows his horse to a meaning walk,I don’t stand still and look around On all the hills I haven’t hoed(用锄头锄地),And shout from where I am, “What is it?” No, not as there is a time to talk. I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground(把锄头插入松土), Blade-end up and five feet tall, And plod(吃力地行进): I go up to the stone wall For a friendly visit.




Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories.
Li Bai described the scene(场景) of his friend seeing him off. The USA
poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made
a comparison(对比). His poem shows the friendship between him and his
friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells
the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It
tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The
language is simple but sincere(真诚的).

What makes a true friend










 Friends are of great importance in my daily life. My good friends
share the same interest with me. What’s more, they understand my
feelings and can give me a hand whenever I need them. This is true
friendship for me. 
 Once, I failed in a writing competition. I spent a lot of time
preparing for it. But it was such a pity that I didn’t get the first place.
My friend Amy heard about this and came to me at once. She gave me a
hug and told me I already tried my best. I felt so warm and thankful. 
 Friends should support and care about each other. To keep our
friendship fresh, showing understanding is also important.

五、 阅读表达。
Jackie Jones, a woman from England, tells about how she met up
with her old school friend, Heather Gooch, three years ago.





Heather and I have known each other since we were five, but lost
touch when Heather left school at 16, to work as a waitress. We’d been
good friends at school, and I really wanted to see what she was doing and
was hopeful that we would restart our friendship. So, when I saw something
in the paper about the website Friends Reunited, I logged on(登录)
straight away. It is very easy to use. You look up your school and the year you
left and up comes a list of names.





I was very excited when I found Heather’s name on the list. We emailed
each other at first, then spoke on the phone and made a decision to meet up.
It has been 23 years since we last met. But we still have lots in common:
We laugh at the same things and listen to the same kind of music. She’s my
best friend again.





Now we email each other every day and meet at least once a week. We
go to restaurants, the cinema, and go shopping together. Heather’s family
spent some important festivals with us last year because our husbands and
daughters got on too. It’s a deeper kind of friendship than the one we had at
school, which I think comes with age and experience. We feel like we’re
going to keep in touch forever now.





1. When did Jackie and Heather get to know each other?

2. What do Jackie and Heather have in common?

3. What do you think of the friendship between Jackie and Heather? Give
your reason.


When they were five. 
They laugh at the same things and listen to the same kind of music. 
 I think the friendship between them is deep. Because it will last
forever.(答案不唯一,言之有理即可)
