I’m five years old, and my mother is washing the kitchen floor. I’m telling her about a new girl in school, and she suddenly looks up at me and says, “ Who are your two best friends ? ”
I’m not sure what to say. I’ve been friends with Jill since I was three or so , and I really like Jaime , a friend in kindergarten .
“ Jill and Jaime .”
“ Well , what about Karen and Cindy ?”
“ I don’t know who their best friends are ,” I say .
“ No ,” she says . “ I’m saying , why aren’t they your best friends ?”
“ But they’re my sisters .”
“ Yes , but they can still be your best friends . Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you .”
At that time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food , attention , and what to watch on television . How could my sisters be my best friends ?
But my mother never let the three of us forget it : Sisters are lifelong friends . Her wish—like most parents’—was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she longed for brothers and sisters. She gave birth to three daughters. She had given us each a gift—our sisters.
As we grew up, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together , side-by-side , even holding hands when we crossed the finish line . The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.
It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.

I like your programmes very much. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social
customs (社交习惯): My American friend wants me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy
and have decided to go, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very
different from here, so I'm afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a present, such as sweet or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner
table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful
for their kindness
Wang Lin
Letter B
Dear Wang Lin,
It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you
may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than
fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the
other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do ask the person next to you.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a
good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.
