　　Few Americans stay for a lifetime. We move from town or city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.

　　For many of us the summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vocation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also in those places where they do not feel too strange with the hope of meeting new people, No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend. But surely the beginning of a friendship is possible.

　　But as we use the word, “friend” can be applied to a wide range of relationships to someone has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confident.

　　The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United states．It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience．This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city．

　　One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers．They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer．The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队)and operas in the country during their vacations．They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert．It is very beautiful there in summer．

　　The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera．Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show．

　　There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather．Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool．Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats．

　　WASHINGTON－More people than ever are driving under the influence of their cell phones, according to a survey published Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration．

　　The survey showed 8 percent of drivers, or 1.2 million people, were using hand-held or hands-free cell phones, during daylight hours last year, a 50 percent increase since 2002 and a 100 percent rise in four years．

　　All that talking is a potential safety problem, said NHTSA spokesman Pale Tyson．"While we don' t have hard proof that there' s been an increase in the number of accidents, we know that talking on the phone can affect drivers' performance," he said．

　　The District of Columbia and New Hampshire no longer allow talking on hand-held cell phones while driving, according to the Governors of the Highway Safety Association．

　　Some communities, such as Brookline, Mass, and Santa Fe, require handsfree cell phones, but about a half-dozen states prevent local governments from limiting cell phones use in cars．Young drivers, between 16 and 24, increased their talking on cell phones by 60 percent between 2002 and 2004．

　　The National Transportation Safety Board said it wants all 50 states to ban those with learners' permits from using cell phones or other wireless devices while driving．New Jersey and Maine are the only two states that have passed such laws．

　　The survey was carried out between June 7 and July 11, 2005, at 1, 200 road sites across the country and, in some cases, done by telephone．
