Friends are very important in everyone’s life because friends are always there when we need them. It’s great to have many friends, and I can’t think about my life without my friends.
My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.
My name’s Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to do a report (报告) on science once, but I didn’t understand (理解) what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at (嘲笑) me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn’t laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and make me happy.

What do you like to do in your free time? Baking (烘烤) is always my favorite thing to do. Last Sunday I felt like baking something, so I read through my cookbook and had a really good idea. I decided to bake a strawberry cake.
My mom went to the shop with Ollie to buy some strawberries. When they came back, I started to bake. It was fun, and Ollie was watching next to me. Of course, he wanted to help, so he was putting his little hands in my mixture (混合物) all the time. We started fighting because I really couldn’t work when a little noisy boy was next to me. I asked my mom to take him away from the kitchen.
Minutes later I put the cake into the oven (烤箱). After some time, the kitchen was full of the smell of the cake. Soon the cake was baked and I had only one more thing to do — I needed to put sugar (食糖), water and strawberry juice together and then spread (涂) the mixture over the cake. I have to say, the cake was much more delicious than any cake I bought in the supermarket. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
