三.阅读理解

A

I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.

    When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is an unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at studying and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius of my university.

He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.

    I remembered that my Mathematics was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving Mathematics questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. Though we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my Mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in Mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.

    We know that we live in a society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make us fail in life, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learnt so much from him, and I became better and better.

    We separated three months ago. Now I miss him very much, and I hope that our friendship will continue to be just strong after we graduate.
