A

For most young people， getting your first car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want， whenever you want. Getting a car did all this for me， and it also brought my best friend and me closer. But then it tore （撕裂） us apart.

My best friend lived three minute walk from my home. Since her birthday was in late summer， seven months behind mine， I almost became her driver when I turned 16 in December.

And so I picked her up for school and took her home. We made ice cream trip， went shopping and to the movies—all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed， read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so often that she gave me a key to her house.

A week after I got my license， she was with me when I had my first accident. She was there and comforted me and we kept it a secret， since I didnt want people to know. From then on， through thick and thin， it was just me， my car and my best friend.

High school is a time of change， but I couldnt understand for a long time how we became so distant （疏遠(yuǎn)） after being so close. My friend waited three months after her birthday to get her dream car： a green 2004 Beetle. Since then the passenger seat of my car became empty. Our car trips became less frequent until I didnt even drive down her street.

Its funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car， but once she did， I regretted it. I wanted her friendship back， even if it couldnt be the same.

（ ? ?）5. What does the underlined sentence “I almost became her driver when I turned 16 in December” in paragraph 2 mean？

A lot of teenagers are good at art at school， but how would you feel if people called you “the new Picasso （畢加索）” or if presidents and other famous people collected your paintings？

Alexandra Nechita was ten when her paintings became famous all over the world. She visited Britain， France， Italy， Japan， Australia， New Zealand and her familys native place （祖籍）， Romania where 5，000 fans came to see her at the airport. Alexandra said， “When it all started， I was moved. It was very exciting and I loved the traveling， but I got very tired. And I missed home.”

Alexandra is a good student. Her studies always come first. She only starts painting after shes done her homework. She works on two or three paintings at a time. The paintings sell for thousands and Alexandras parents have given up their jobs to work for their daughter. Life for the Nechita family is very different from what it was like a few years ago.

Alexandras father Niki left Romania for political reasons in 1985. At first he tried his best to learn English and had different kinds of low paid jobs. In 1987， he brought his wife and Alexandra， who was then 18 months old， to America. The family was very poor. Alexandra began to draw at the age of three.

She was drawing for four or five hours a day. Soon people offered to buy her paintings and she had her first art show at the age of eight. Stories about this child appeared in the newspapers and television. They now live in a large house with a swimming pool.
