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”.

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 2. In true friendship, _____________.

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 C. but Ken didn‟t mind D. so they were no longer friends.

Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our equipment.
It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!
