　　Polly Jones lived on a farm．She had lived there all her life,all twelve years of it．Her father,who managed the farm,had just lifted the potato crop．Prices were high:he wanted to sell the crop as quickly as he could．

　　Polly wandered over the rough field looking for the smaller potatoes that the pickers had accidentally missed．She found one,then another,then a handful．She was pleased．They were delicious once cooked．Then she caught sight of something else．It looked like a piece of coloured stone．Polly picked it up and thought how pretty it was．She could see a pattern on it:a picture of a fish and a part of a leaf．She scraped（擦去）the soil away around her feet and found that she was standing on what seemed to be a piece of pavement（铺路石）．Stuck to another piece of stone was something small and round like a button．She realized it was an old coin．

　　The field was busy the next morning though not with potato pickers．In front of the house where the farm machinery usually stood were several cars and a policeman．A group of distinguished-looking men and women had appeared the morning after her father's telephone call．The local television station had shown some pictures of the field with Polly pointing to the place where she had found her pavement．It was proving to be of Roman origin and was being described as the most exciting thing that had happened in the area since the end of the Second World War．In those days an American airbase had occupied the site of the potato field．

　　A week later about forty students arrived from the local university．That afternoon a truck with equipment arrived．The excavation（挖掘）was officially under way．Permission had been given and the“dig”,as it was called,was expected to last several months．Polly wondered how the everyday work of the farm would get done with so many strange people around and cars coming and going all day long．All the unusual activity had made the cows and sheep restless．Her father said their cows produced less milk．

　　Still,it was interesting and great fun．They had let her keep the gold coin．

　　From then on,Polly wouhl always walk carefully over potato fields．

My Best Enemy

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Lisa. That’s where the similarities ended.

I was tall and she was small. My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she liked me and wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way. My family had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.

She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all-night bookstore, a movie theater and a park. As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house might be hers. Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three –story house with a front porch? I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.

When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was my next surprise. I had never played with them. We sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon.

Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the movie theater gave her free tickets…. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses and spent every free moment together.

Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence（青春期）and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: you worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

53．One day Lisa invited the writer_________.

C．to go to walk in a park D．to go to a pizza place

C．quiet and lonely D．friendly and lovely
