阅读理解 Just Around the Corner I
题型：期末题难度：来源：
I have a friend named Jim. He lived just around the corner from me, The days go by, and before
I know it, a year is gone. I never see my old friend"s face. He knows that I miss him too, as I used to
ring his bell, and he rang mine, in the old days. If we were younger, things might be different, but now, we are busy, tired men. We are even tired of playing games.
"Tomorrow," I said to myself, "I will call on Jim just to show that I"m thinking of him. " But tomorrow
comes and tomorrow goes, and the distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner! His house is only three miles away from here. One day a postman came. "Here"s a telegram (电报) for you, sir," he said. I opened it and was surprised. "Jim died today. " And that"s what we get in the end. Around the corner, a friend is gone.
So remember: If you love your friends and family, tell them and show your love to them. When you
think that it is the right time, it might be too late.

Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.
So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do
not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a
lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. ( 2) So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of
course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself. He was a tall, good-
looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent
cards and small things to each other.
When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to
let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest
DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David’s door in San Francisco, she found
that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!

| ( )1. Lots of people miss their pets while they are on vacation. One hotel in Minnesota has solved the problem. The guests can borrow cats from the hotel.
