When I tidied up（整理）some old boxes under my bed, I found an old letter for me from my best friend. Her name was Minnie.

In the letter, Minnie wrote, “I am really sorry about before. Tell me if you will be my best friend again and tell me if you accept（接受）my apology . ”I wrote, “YES. I will be your best friend. ”

The twelve-year-old letter made me remember the time that Minnie and I spent together. We often wrote to each other during that time. One minute, Minnie and I would be playing happily together; the other moment we would get into arguments. But things would always be better again. She gave me a doll（洋娃娃）for my tenth birthday. I still keep it.

Finally things changed. We stopped writing letters to each other after she moved away, and I could no longer ride my bike to her house. Years later, she invited me to her sixteenth birthday party. I don’t see Minnie very often from then on. But I’ll always keep the letter and I’ll never forget the time we spent together.

A．say sorry to the writer                    B．thank the writer

C．invite the writer to her party               D．say goodbye to the writer

2.The writer got the letter ________ years ago.

A．10               B．12               C．14               D．16

3.The underlined word “apology” means “________” in Chinese.

A．劝告             B．帮助             C．道歉             D．祝福

4.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A．The writer never had arguments with Minnie.

B．Minnie gave the writer a doll on one of her birthdays.

C．Minnie still writes letters to the writer.

D．The writer often rides her bike to Minnie’s house.

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company（公司）. “What is it?” I wondered. I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-written address. Immediately my mind traveled many years back.

I was nine years old, walking down the cold and wet streets of Springfield, with a bag of magazines on my shoulder. That day, I came to the company finally, the owner, Mr. Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers if they wanted any magazines.

Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I went into Mr. Rader’s office. After a quick look he took me over to the fireplace. Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said, “Come with me!” pulling me into his car. We stopped in front of a shoe shop. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of shoes I had ever seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them. “We’d like a pair of new socks, too.” Mr. Rader said.

Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a car, wrote something on it and handed it to me. With tearful eyes, I read, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said kindly, “Jimmy, I want you to know I love you.” I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a piece of hope that things would be better.
