Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Phoebe. That’s 36 the similaritiesended.
I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was 37 and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t 38 her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too 39 to say no. Actually no one has invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest fashion, wanted to see me.
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 to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies(芭比娃娃)- which was my next 40 . I would have thought she’d outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s 41 we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild 42 .
We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from 43 so much. She showed me her outfits, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her 44 a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Phoebe had the whole neighborhood 45 . The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being 46 .
Phoebe, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the through teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can 47 to be your best friend.

New York has taken the title of the world’s top fashion capital from Milan. The annual survey suggest that the top five fashion cities are facing competition from Asia and Australia. New York had been the top fashion city for five years, but Milan took the title in 2009. The survey was made by the Global Language Monitor, a US based organization. It tracks the frequency(频率) of words and phrases in the media, on the Internet and throughout the blog. With the US economy recovering, New York once again took the top title. Hong Kong took second place. It was followed by London, Paris and Los Angeles. The other top 10 cities were Milan, Sydney, Miami, Barcelona and Madrid.
“Because of the new economic situation, the global fashion centers have also changed a lot, ”said Bekka Payack. the Manhattan-based fashion reporter for the Global Language Monitor. “The new list shows that global fashion centers will change now and then.
