Task 3: Read the following passage, then choose the best answer for each question below

A Friend of Liberality

        When I was in high school, there was a girl whom I disliked. I don’t know why I dislike her. She had always been friendly towards me, and had never done anything to cause me to feel the same way I did about her. I was continually saying unpleasant things to her, making fun of her, snubbing her.

       One day as I was going home from school, the girl caught up with me and told me that our teacher wanted me to come back for a while.I did not belive her and walked on down the street, leaving the girl standing alone.

       The next day when I got to school, our teacher asked me: “Why didn’t you come back to the school as I asked you  to ?” I said: “I didn’t know you wanted me ?”. The teacher sent for the girl and asked her: “ Did you tell Rose to come back ?” The girl answered, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t tell her; I couldn’t catch up with her”. I was surprised and suddenly realized how pretty she was. I felt I ought to be ashamed of myself and I found out all my faulst in comparison with her liberality.

Task 4:

Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people are relatives and are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesn’t not mean that you make him or her a friend.

 When I had my near-death illness last year and the following long recuperation. I had a lot of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help, sorry, that is not frindship. If their attitude is “for better or worse”, if they stick to you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true friendship. I do have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late 80s when my friend, Ken, really needed me but I didn’t come through for him. I remember hanging out in my happy suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I got to apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.

 I don’t have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and other times, clearly not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people overcoming the barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some point.

1. According to the writer ____________.

 A. all lovers are friends   B. all your relatives are also your friends.

 C. whoever you admire is your friends D. not all workmates are friends

 D. friends are scared of helping each other.

3. What happened to the writer last year?

 A. his wife passed away   B. he was seriously ill

 C. he had an ineteresting experience  D. he had got some new friends.

4. We can learn from the text that ____________.

 A. the writer had a house in suburb in Menlo Park.

 B. the writer came to help his friend, Ken, when his wife died.

 C. whenever his friend, Ken, had problems the writer immediately came to help.

 D. the writer and Ken are true friends at all time.

5. The writer didn’t come to help Ken ______________.

 A. so Ken was very angry   B. and he didn’t apologize
