Olivia and Clara had been best friends since middle school. Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had stuck together through thick and thin, though they had different personalities: Olivia enjoyed reading quietly whereas Clara was fond of exploration by bicycle. They had thought their friendship would last forever. Yet, one aftemoon, a minor misunderstanding happened, taking a toll on their relationship.

This was what had happened. They joined in an important science project whose results would count towards their credits. Olivia, a careful planner, had devoted the whole afternoon to preparing their presentation alone in the quiet classroom. Her fingers danced swiftly and skillfully on the keyboard while she organized slides and typed notes. Every slide contained solid arguments and carefully selected pictures, which reflected her great efforts. As dusk fell, her anxiety built up minute by minute. She glanced at the clock repeatedly. Clara was late again. The empty chair next to her seemed to laugh at her, leaving her feeling lonely as well as annoyed. 

Clara finally dashed in, out of breath and upset, trying to explain the reason. "I'm so sorry, but my..." she started, only to be interrupted by Olivia, whose patience had worn thin. "Troubles keep popping up for you! Have you ever thought about the influence your behavior has on others?" At the sound of her sharp remarks, Clara who had meant to apologize, froze at once. "You are always taking charge of everything! It's exhausting to try to live up to your strict perfect standards!" she shouted back angrily. The atmosphere in the room grew heavy, hard to breathe, filled with hurt emotions and wounded pride. They gathered their books in angry silence. The unfinished project stood for the cracked bond of their friendship. Neither girl dared to utter a single word as they headed home, both trapped in bitter disappointment.

【参考答案】

That night, Olivia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. The bitter quarrel echoing in her mind, Olivia tossed and turned. She thought about how she had cut Clara off impatiently without letting her explain. She also thought of the half-finished slides, where Clara had contributed many creative ideas. Worse still, it was her own pursuit of perfection that had hurt the person who cared about her most. With a heavy heart, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Clara, making an appointment to meet at their usual cafe the next morning.

The next day, Clara arrived early at the cafe as promised. She looked exhausted, her usual bright smile gone like the sun disappearing behind clouds. Upon seeing Olivia, she explained immediately: "My bicycle broke down on the way. I had tried hard to walk to the school". Hearing her words, Olivia apologized with guilt "I'm sorry for being too harsh and rude". Relieved and regretful, they hugged each other tightly. That whole day, they worked on the project with renewed cooperation. It dawned on them that true friendship needs communication and mutual understanding.
