B. Because they are worried about their old friends.
C. Because they have nothing to say to their old friends.
D. Because they aren't sure how to restart a conversation with their old friends properly.
答案：D
解析：题目询问大多数人不想先给老朋友打电话的原因。A选项“几乎忘记老朋友”、B选项“担心老朋友”、C选项“没什么话对老朋友说”在原文中未提及。结合常识及此类题型常见考点，通常人们不联系老朋友是因为不确定如何恰当地重新开启对话，D选项符合逻辑，所以答案是D。

A. It's important to have some good friends.

答案：B
解析：文章围绕是否给老朋友打电话展开，讨论了人们不联系老朋友的原因，其目的是鼓励人们勇敢地与老朋友取得联系，A选项强调有好朋友重要，C选项说交尽可能多新朋友，D选项说和有相同兴趣的人交朋友，均与文章主旨不符，B选项符合，所以答案是B。
四、书面表达。
某英语广播 station 正在开展以“The Story Between My Best Friend and Me”为题的征文活动。请你简单描述你最好的朋友的一些显著特质（适当运用比较级或最高级），并说说你们之间的故事，尤其是难忘的或者触动你内心的故事。
要求：80词左右，可适当发挥。
答案：My best friend is Lily. She is the kindest person I know and more outgoing than most of my classmates. Last year, I was sick and missed many classes. Lily came to my home every day after school. She not only helped me with my lessons but also told me funny stories to make me happy. With her help, I caught up with my classmates quickly. I feel lucky to have such a good friend. I will always cherish our friendship.
解析：首先介绍朋友莉莉，用“the kindest”（最高级）和“more outgoing than”（比较级）描述其特质。接着讲述生病时莉莉每天来家里帮忙补课、讲有趣故事的难忘经历，体现朋友间的情谊，最后表达对友谊的珍惜，符合题目要求，字数也在80词左右。
