Many people expect that their friends will always be there.
They expect friendships to last forever. Yet, friendships end and
friends part company every day. Unfortunately, even the best
maintained friendships can end.
Many friendships end because of a change in personality or
lifestyle when friends just drift apart with time. The friendship
slowly loses importance and finally disappears.

Sue said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I
moved from one side of the metropolis to the other. We had
over an hour's drive to see each other. For a year or so, we
met less and less. Then our friendship ended.” John wrote, “I
didn't even know the friendship was over until I caught myself
thinking of Alan as a former friend.”
Other friendships break up suddenly from a disagreement
or a move to another town.

Paul said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our
friendship abruptly died. We were both struggling with new
jobs and didn't keep in touch. Now that friendship is so
dead, I don't even bother to call him when I go home.”
Yet the biggest threat to a friendship is change. Lillian
Rubin in her book Just Friends says, “Thus generally it's true
that friends accept each other so long as they both remain
essentially the same as they were when they met, or change in
similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the
friendship most likely will be lost.”

Regardless of why, when, or how friendships end, there
is always some pain of loss. When nothing can be done to
mend the friendship, it is important to feel the pain fully. Then
move on to enhance another friendship or build entirely new
friendships.

Ⅴ阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk.
“Mum, it's time,” he said. “Hear me out: it's time we got an
actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in
our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really
listen to my son's opinion about our home technology. Since his
reasoning was sensible and his suggestions were within budget,
I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I'd known for a while that my son understands technology
better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it
in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After
something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set
up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer
died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with
skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I
see our time together decreasing and our shared interests

shrinking. That's why I jumped at the chance when a friend
mentioned writing technology reviews. I'm a writer, but I'd need
a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I
presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It's changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he
used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he's
learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way
that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child
dynamics are not only changed; they're even slightly reversed—

he's leading me. I'm asking him for help and advice. My son
has risen to the occasion. He's taking it seriously, and to watch
him mature in this way is an honour. As someone who's not
much of a reader, he now searches instruction books. Without
any prompting, he's even e-mailed and called, yes, made an
actual phone call to customer service or tech support when
sample products weren't working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it's proved to
be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with
my teen.
