Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the   31  ended.

I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was   32  and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t   33  her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too   34   to say no. Actually no one has invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest  35  , 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    36  with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies(芭比娃娃)- which was my next  37  . I would have thought she’d outgrown them. I has never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we  38  crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s   39  we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wile   40  .

We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from   41  so much. She showed me her outfits, which had   42   come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her   43   a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes    44  .

Paris had the whole neighborhood   45  . The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free   46   and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was   47  in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being   48  .

Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me   49   the through teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can  50  to be your best friend.

It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
  Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
  As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
【小题1】The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.

A.startB.studyC.findD.teach
【小题2】 The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A.what to know about a new school
B.how to prepare for a new school
C.what to do on your first day of school
D.how to spend your first day of school
【小题3】According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ______.
A.introduce yourselfB.learn about the school rules
C.make new friendsD.go over your new lessons
【小题4】 If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.
A.nervousB.luckyC.happyD.excited
