完形填空。
A1ice, my frierld's daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on
a full scholarship at this school. Jane has
1 economic resources-her father has been dead for years and her
mother works
2 a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can
3 support the family. Jane is
very bright and gifted at
4 and that's how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)
5 for things
like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would
6 talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid
the other kids
7 her.
On her birthday last month, she
8 her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn't come.
Alice wanted her to be
9 so much that she
10 on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, "I don't have any
11 clothes that I could wear at your birthday party." After a brief pause, the girl remembered, "I have a
12 from my piano perfomance," and asked, "Could I
13 a skirt from you?"
Alice was happy that her friend would be
14 to come and hurried home to ask her Mum
15 she could
lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, "No." The daughter was very
16 and angrily
said to her Mum, "
17 I could, I would give my friend all my clothes." The Mother didn't understand why her
daughter should have had such an outburst as she's normally very well
18 .
Fimlly, Alice explained to her Mother her friend's
19 . Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said,
"Yes." She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel
proud of her
20 with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered
unto.
