Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can’t even remember what happened.

In the past nine years, I’ve seen her twice, and each time we’ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once inseparable. I’d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you’ve lost throughout the years?

Linking to your past

The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn’t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. “Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past,” says Sandy Sheehy.

Although you can share information about your past with friends you’ve met recently, you don’t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them.

But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn’t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn’t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.

Searching for friends

Fortunately, finding lost friends isn’t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:

Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.

Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information.

Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend’s hometown.

Network with other friends who might have known your friend.

Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company’s website and search the directory of personnel.

1.What is the subject discussed in the passage?

A. How to make new friends.

B. How to rebuild friendship.

C. How to develop healthy friendship.

D. How to keep in touch with friends.

2.The underlined sentence “friends from years ago are custodians of our past” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A. years ago old friends kept something for us

B. in the past old friends took care of us

C. old friends are part of our life history

D. old friends know what wrongs we did

3.What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?

A. Lack of money.     B. Busy time.    C. Regret and shame. D. Fear and shyness.

4.How can we make contact with the lost friends?

A. By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends.

B. By searching your friends’ telephone number on the Net.

C. By asking the local post office about your friends’ new address.

D. By putting an advertisement in your friends’ local town.

My First Long Kun

Two weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband. After he had driven off in anger, I realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.

Our driveway has a slope(斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the slope, I decided t see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.

After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of air.

I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No one would even know. But I didn’t stop. I wanted to keep going harder, better, stronger. To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.

It was the first long run of my life. Since I have improved my stride (步幅) and time, after every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing. I love the runner’s high, I normally jog because I want look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.

“I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.

The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.

For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.

Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running , so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally!, You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.

Now it's clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end — it can be a beginning.

1.What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs?

A. She liked taking tests.　　 B. She was afraid of failures.

C. She often failed in study.　　 D. She knew how to be perfect.

2.What did the author finally get from a failed cooking?

A. Bad feelings.　　 B. Worries.

C. A closer friendship.　　 D. More experience.

3.Why did the author feel excited after the running test?

A. Because she could work out regularly.

B. Because she received honey as a reward.

C. Because she got another chance to take the test.

D. Because she achieved success after many failures.

4.The underlined word overcome in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to　　　　 .

A. successfully deal with　　 B. quickly respond to

C. narrowly escape from　　 D. eagerly come up with

5.The author wrote this passage　　　　　 .

A. to show the negative effects of failures

B. to point out her best friends fear of failures

C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely

D. to introduce different types of failures
