When I was a teen of 16 years old, I used to make more friends because of my outgoing nature. But unfortunately, I also had the most misunderstandings with them. However, I have not lost any of my friends over these disagreements.
Once I bought a few books to read in my free time during the summer vacation at high school. One evening during the vacation, two of my friends visited my home. After having some small talk, one of them started looking at my library that I had built since my childhood. He picked up one of the books that I had just started reading in the morning. It was Thomas, one of my best friends in high school. I helped him a lot with his mathematics for the exam before the summer vacation.
The disagreement with him began when he wanted to take the book home. The book name
d An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser was his first choice. I tried to make him realize that I had just started reading it before they arrived at my home and had just finished one-fourth of the book. But it seemed that he was also crazy about the book. He was determined to take it. Samuel, the other friend of mine sat quietly and saw us argue with each other.
The argument continued for about 15 minutes, and I tried to ask him to take some other books. He looked sad, saying that after he started reading the story, he really didn’t want to miss the chance to complete the book. Finally, I gave up and let him take the book on one condition: he should return the book just after he finished reading it and also would not lend it to someone else (he had lost most of his books lending them to others) as he did earlier with my books.

A.He thought of a children’s book.
B.He argued with Samuel over a book.
C.He was attracted to one of the author’s books.

5.Why did the author want to continue reading An American Tragedy?
A.He enjoyed it very much.
B.He was a fan of the writer.
C.He read it for the final exam.
D.He planned to research into it.
6.How did the author solve the disagreement with Thomas?
A.He told him the story of the book.
B.He decided to lend him the book.
C.He gave him another book by the same writer.
D.He let him look through the book before leaving.
7.What can we say about Thomas?
A.He doesn’t have any friends.    B.He is good at mathematics.
C.He always keeps his word.    D.He doesn’t give up easily.
