.阅读理解
A
When it comes to friends,I desire those who will share my happiness,who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours,too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade,I had a friend.We were shy and“too serious”about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper,and one of us would say:“Let's start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year,we,too,were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London,I had a friend.He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We_gave_London_to_each_other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way,in the other's dreams.She and I agree that,at certain times,we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments,I often think:“Yes,I must tell...”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

I don't know how I became a writer,but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel.My people were of the working class of people.My father,a stonecutter,was a man with a great respect and veneration(崇敬)for literature.He had a tremendous memory,and he loved poetry,and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like.Nevertheless it was good poetry,Hamlet's Soliloquy,Macbeth,Mark Antony's “Funeral Oration”,Grey's “Elegy”,and all the rest of it.I heard it all as a child;I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university.The desire to write,which had been strong during all my days in high school,grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper,the college magazine,etc.and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established there.I wrote several little oneact plays,still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man,never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer.Then I went to Harvard,wrote some more plays there,became obsessed with(着迷于)the idea that I had to be a playwright,left Harvard,had my plays rejected,and finally in the autumn of 1926,how,why,or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine.But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel,I began to write my first book in London.I was living all alone at that time.I had two rooms-a bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar,smoked brick and creamyellowplaster look.
