\"I never knew before, Cecil, that you were so fond of drawing,\" said Aunt Sophia, as she looked over the shoulder of her nephew, who was busy with his pencil. \"You really have made great progress.\"

\"I need to do so,\" cried Cecil, \"if I am to carry off the prize for drawing, as I am determined to do this term.\"

\"I should have thought,\" said the aunt, \"that you had little chance against Lee. He is an artist's son, and has used the pencil from his cradle.(摇篮) \"

\"That will double the pleasure of beating him!\" cried Cecil, \"I'm working now at this four hours a day; he never draws more than two.\"

\"You are not neglecting(忽视) your Latin for it, I hope? You have had the Latin prize every term for these three years past,\" said Aunt Sophia.

\"Yes,\" replied Cecil, with a proud smile; \"there is no boy in our class who can match me in that, though Russell is now working hard. But I am not content with one prize: I cannot rest till I have won the paint-box for drawing, of which Tom Lee makes so sure. It would be glorious to beat the son of an artist on his own ground!\"

\"Take care,\" said his aunt, \"that you do not lose the Latin prize in trying for what you are not likely to gain.”

On the evening of the day on which the names of the prize-winners were read out, Cecil came home from school long-faced. His looks told his aunt enough to make her spare him the pain of questions; but his little sister Rosey was not so thoughtful.

\"Cecil,\" she cried, \"tell me, are you to get the two prizes?\"

\"No, not even one. I was so busy trying to beat Lee that I could not hold my ground against Russell.\" Cecil threw himself into a sofa in an angry mood.

Their aunt silently hoped that the lesson might prove worth the pain which it cost. 61. What made Cecil keep practicing drawing? A. His interest in drawing.

Since we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.

We know that we live in a society, so we need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good and bad, bad friend may make our life failed, while good ones make our life successful.
