My Best Enemy

Once again，I was in a new school.So was a girl in my class named Lisa.That's where the similarity ended.

I was tall and she was small.My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style.Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great.I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest.I was awkward and shy.She wasn't.I couldn't stand her，considering her my enemy.But she liked me and wanted to be friends with me.

One day，she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way.My family had moved six times in six years，and I had never managed to develop any friendships.But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.

She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places，an allnight bookstore，a movie theater and a park.As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood，I tried to guess which house might be hers.Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three-story

house with a front porch? I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building.She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother，her stepfather，her two brothers and her sister.

When we got into the room she shared with her sister，she took out a big case of Barbies，which was my next surprise.I had never played with them.We sat on the floor，laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies.We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we

were older and both had wild imaginations.We had a great time that afternoon.

Lias was loved by the whole neighborhood.The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines；the movie theater gave her free tickets...Soon I was included in her magic world.We slept over at each other's houses and spent every free moment together.

Lisa，my first real friend since childhood，helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence (青春期) and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends：your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

1．The writer and Lisa were similar in the way that__________. A．they were both new students B．they had the same hairstyles C．they were both tall D．they were of the same age

[解析] 细节理解题。从第一段中的“...I was in a new school.So was a girl...”可以知道，作者和Lisa 之间的相似点在于她们都是新来的学生。其他选项可以通过第二段进行排除，所以答案选A项。

[答案] A

2．One day Lisa invited the writer__________. A．to go to the movie C．to go to walk in a park

B．to go to her home D．to go to a pizza place

[解析] 细节理解题。从第三段最后一句可以知道，Lisa 邀请作者去她家作客，所以答
