Students are leaving the junior high school . What are they taking with them ? A lot of things for sure , but the most important thing is friends .
We asked some teachers to give us one last lesson . The lesson is proverbs（谚语、格言） about friends . Proverbs teach people about life . Older people often teach proverbs to younger people . Every culture has proverbs . They are short and easy to remember .
Mrs Minelli says , “ It is important to remember this Sicilian（西西里岛人的）proverb , ‘ Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty .’ It means that only good friends tell you when you are making a mistake .”
Mr Tulga says , “ I have a favorite proverb about friends , ‘ Friendship is a plant we must water .’ It is German . It means that everyone needs to take care of friendship like we take care of a garden .”
Mr Tulga says , “My grandfather in Turkey told me , ‘Nobody is so rich that he can throw away a friend .’ It means that everyone needs friends . Be good to them .”
The good news is :there is no test for this lesson ,. The bad news is :We will miss you .
Goodbye , friends ! Don’t forget us !
【小题1】As the proverb says ,           will tell you when you are making mistakes .

—I am going to Sanya for my holiday tomorrow.

   —_____________.

A. Have a good time  B. You’re right     C. It’s good         D. Goodbye

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.
