UNIT 4 课时检测（四） “Developing ideas” 的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Once again, I was at a new school.So was a girl in my class named Paris.That was where the similarities ended. I was tall and she was small.I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest.My hair was thick, short and ugly while hers was long and beautiful.I was awkward and shy.She wasn't.I couldn't stand her, considering her my enemy.But she wanted to be friends. One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to say no.Actually, no one had invited me to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest fashions, wanted to invite me. She lived on the fourth floor in a two－room place. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, and she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise.I would have thought she had outgrown (因长大而不适用……) them. I had never played with them.But we sat on the floor of a walk－in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies.That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older.We both had wild imaginations. We had a great time that afternoon.She showed me her outfits, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block.The woman who owned it sometimes used her as a model for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange. Paris charmed (吸引) the whole neighborhood.The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces.Soon I was included in her magic world.We slept over at each other's houses and spent every free moment together.I let my hair grow out and learned to love being tall. Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through my tough teenage years and taught me an amazing thing about making friends: Your “worst enemy” can turn out to be your best friend. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章描述了作者与她的同学Paris相处的过程：从充满敌意到相互了解，到最后成为最好的朋友。 1．At the time described at the beginning of the passage, the writer
