When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get 36 with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 37 because of this.

Without 40 I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a 41 girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone 42 to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 43 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 44 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so 45 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 46 she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my 47 were well-founded. I felt that the 48 between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I 49 her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her 50 with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 51 . I had almost given up hope 52 she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked 53 but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, 54 the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t 55 you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite 41 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 42 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 43 me right on all the 44 that had puzzled me. I was on the 45 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening,I see.”
“No,I’m not,” he said.“ 46 ,I love this garden,though. It’s 47 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 48 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t 49 that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child,and I had 50 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately,he wasn’t 51 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade of grass was an enemy to be 52 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the 53 it had. It used to 54 me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was 55 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours,you’re just letting it go to... ”
“ 56 ?” he said. “No,I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 57 it grow 58 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 59 at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you,isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 60 ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
41. A. wild B. crazy C. large D. nice
42. A. lost B. felt C. took D. made
43. A. let B. put C. taught D. explained
