     Most friendships die a natural death: people move, change jobs, or start different stages of life. Other
friendships, however, end unexpectedly. When a friendship is over and you don't understand why, it can
be especially painful. Sometimes a friend ends your relationship without telling you why.
     The loss of friendship might be worth reflecting on. Knowing when a friendship is over and why it ends
may help you build stronger friendships in the future. 
     ● See if you can find a problem. When a friendship is over, examine your relationship. Perhaps you
remember your friend complaining that you're always late. Maybe you seldom return your friends' phone
calls. When afriend ends your relationship, try to find out the reasons why the friendship is over. 
      ● Write a letter to your friend. Express your feeling about the friendship. Do you miss seeing them?
Do you have any regrets (遺憾)? Would you act differently if you were still friends? Make it an honest
communication(交流). 
      ● Express your feelings of hurt or anger. Write or talk about how you feel in a letter. When a friendship
is over, it's important to communicate exactly how hurt you feel,and why. Write until you have nothing left
to say. When a friend ends your relationship, you do have the right to express yourself. 
      ● Communicate that you are open to picking up the friendship. When afriendship is over and you
want to reconnect (再接合) some day, send Christmas, or birthday cards. Say hi and send greetings through
mutual (共有的) friends. When a friendship is over, don't give up until you're ready. 
      ● Decide to make your present friendsbips better. An adviser once told me that simply talking about
your relationship strengthens your relationship. Talk to your present friends. Are they happy with your
friendship? If a friend ends your relationship, learn something from it.

[     ]
A. Your friend doesn't work with you any longer.
B. Your friend goes to another place to live.

D. Your friend suddenly refuses to speak to you or even meet you.

B. You often refuse to answer your friends' phone calls.
C. Your friend is fond of complaining all the time.

  Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly.Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour.Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending.Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹噓)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks.

  All this saves timc, but at a prick.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so.We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers.Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about.

  Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time.Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world.

  There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle.No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this.Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone.Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee.

     The history of Chinese calligraphy is probably as long as that of China itself.Calligraphy is a special
category in China’s world of fine arts.Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly
and are mainly divided  into five categories today:the seal script(zhuan shu),official script(li shu),regular
script(kai shu),running script(xing shu)and cursive script(cao shu). 
     Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills.Among the most outstanding
calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi,Ouyang Xun,Yan Zhenqing,and Liu Gongquan,who are
known for pioneering their own styles.
     In writing calligraphy,one will need a brush,paper,an ink stick and an ink stone,commonly referred to
as the “Four Treasures of the Study”.There are different types of brushes.White goat hair,black rabbit hair and yellow weasel hair brushes are the main ones.According to their function,brushes are classified into
three groups:hard,soft and medium.Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo,wood,or porcelain;ivory or
jade sticks are rare and precious.
     The ink stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.The most famous
ink stick is hui mo(Anhui ink stick),made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.Clean water is needed to grind the ink stick.Press the ink stick hard and rub it lightly,slowly and evenly
against the ink slab to make thick,liquid ink.
     While paper comes in many varieties,Xuan paper, produced  in Xuanzhou(today’s Anhui Province),is
considered the best for Chinese calligraphy.The paper is soft and fine textured,suitable for conveying the
artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting.With a good tensile strength and moth proof
quality,the paper can be preserved for a long time.
     Ink stones or ink slabs have been classified into three categories:Duan,She and Tao.Features common
to all three are hardness and fineness.Although the stone is hard and fine,it is not dry or slippery.Using a
hard and smooth stone,liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink stick against the stone.
     By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully,the artist can produce an infinite variety of
calligraphic styles and forms.
