一、阅读理解
A
Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.
While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, \"Why not invite John?\" John had been in our class for only a few months, but he always got better grades in math than anyone else in our class. I wrinkled my nose, \"Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?\" Mum said nothing. The next day, Mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. \"I think it would be nice for you to give this to John,\" Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.
On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet, but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, \"Now it's time for the great prize game. It's the following riddle...\" It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

I understand well what you are going through because I once met the similar situation myself. A friendship is one of the greatest things in our life, but keeping it is never easy.
Staying in touch plays an important role in keeping a friendship. With the development of technology, there are many new ways to communicate with your friends, like talking with friends on WeChat and having a video chat. Another suggestion is to send a card or a present on your friends' birthdays and other special days to show your care and love for them. You may also try to share your happiness and sadness with your friends.
I hope these suggestions will help you.
Yours, Li Hua
