“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.

“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.

The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.

The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!

I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.

“Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”

 “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.

“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.

“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.

The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”

I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.

How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?

A. They would be close friends again.

B. They would not speak to each other.

C. They would lose touch with each other.

D. They would go on fighting with each other.

The underlined sentence “I was bossy” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.

A. I looked like a boss   B. I acted as a boss

C. I was fond of giving orders      D. I was fond of fighting

Which of the following is the right time order according to the passage?

a. Jamie became our friend.

b. I felt lonely and unhappy.

c. Jenna, Jamie and I fought a lot.

d. Jenna brought me a Christmas card.

e. I was sorry for what I did to her.

f. Jenna and I promised to be lifelong friends.

A. f a b c e d       B. a c f b d e         C. a b c f e d         D. f a c b d e

The author was delighted when she read the card from Jenna because _________.

A. what Jenna wrote was funny   

B. Jenna would be her friend again

C. she was happy about the coming Christmas

D. she was happy to receive a Christmas card

Dear son,

     The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

If, when I speak to you, I     the same things thousand and one times, do not      me, listen to me.

You must not feel sad, or angry for seeing me      you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you      living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and     . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
