三、阅读理解

How hard we all pray (祈祷) to grow up quickly, and look forward

to the happy days of being a grown-up (成人), and enjoy the many interests that a youth should have.

At last, you grow up. At least you are no longer a child. They

call you “young lady”. You then enjoy being a young lady. You are

proud (骄傲) of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you—this

young lady warmly. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all

gone (用完) already.”

“No,” they say, “Your age is a dangerous age. If you have too

much money to spend, it won’t do you any good.” Then you have to

stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.”

“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me when

I go and have a rest.”To show that you are no more a child, you have

to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up

can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting

basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批评) your work.

You hear what she says, “Such a big girl can’t do such easy work.”

You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can’t help it. That’s

the way it goes.

Vanilla is my best friend. She is a lovely girl with two beautiful big eyes. But she always hides them behind a pair of glasses.

One day, though, I nearly ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,” she said, “What’s wrong” I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept quiet, but Vanilla didn’t go away.

She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam Do you want me to show you the right answers”I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper! I looked everywhere for my paper, but couldn’t find it.

In the afternoon, Vanilla came up to my desk and gave me my exam paper back. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Vanilla had written the right answers next to every one of my mistakes. My face went red. Vanilla had been trying to help me all along. How nice she was! I wanted to hug (拥抱) her, but all I did was to hold her hands and say, “Thank you.” That afternoon, Vanilla and I went home on foot together. I felt so happy that we were still best friends.
