Q1: A friend of mine often plays with our friends, but he has never invited me. What can I do?

A1: If a friend does something you don’t like, don’t be afraid to talk to him. Don’t be angry with him. Try to make him understand your feelings so that you can work through it together.

Q2: My friend is rude to other people. She said if I didn’t act(表现)like her, she would stop being my friend.

22、My name is Sally. When I was ten years old, I had a lot of friends. But looking back now, my best friend was someone I never really thought of as my friend, Rina.

Rina is four years older than I. She and I used to live in the same neighborhood. She went to an art and dance school in the city. Every afternoon when I played in the yard (院子) with my brother Kevin, I would see her walking home from the train station.

During the weekend, there was always something to do, thanks to Rina. She was good at drawing, so she would teach me and my brother how to draw. She also made up amazing games with interesting characters for us to play. Sometimes, Kevin taught Rina and me basketball and I taught them guitar.

One day, I was sitting in the yard. It was my birthday, but I was sad. Rina appeared and gave me a CD and a picture she had drawn for me. I was really surprised. To this day, I still don’t know how Rina remembered my birthday, but I’m glad she did.

Now I’m seventeen and I’m in high school. When I get home from the train station, I always see Alex, the little boy who lives down the street, and his sister Jenny. Sometimes I make up games for them to play. And sometimes I teach them how to draw. I’m happy to watch Alex and Jenny laugh and play. It reminds me of Rina, a girl who left many wonderful memories (回忆) in my heart.

23、   The Flame Mountain（火焰山）is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!

On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!

Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.

The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.
