My Best Friend
When I look at the old photo, I can＇t help thinking of my best friend, Wang Ying. At the age of five, I made friends with her. She lived next door to me, and was then seventeen years old. The twelve year＇s gap in age didn＇t hinder① our growing fondness② for each other. She treated me as a younger sister of her own.
In school, Wang Ying was a 3-A student③. She did well in every subject. But she never seemed to be proud of her achievements. She was hard-working and good-natured to younger students. I remember the little incident that took place two years ago. One day I caught a bad cold and had a high fever. I had to stay in bed. This prevented me from going to school. I was very anxious for missing so many classes when suddenly the door opened. In came Wang Ying.
“Hello, Tong-tong. How are you feeling today?” she said to me with a friendly smile. “Don＇t worry about your lessons. Now let me make them up for you.” Before I could say anything, she had taken the English textbook out of her schoolbag. I was so moved that I couldn＇t keep back my tears.
Wang Ying was a kind-hearted girl. Though she was the only child of her parents, she was not spoiled. She was polite to teachers and students, generous to her friends, and kind to the poor. She was always ready to give her pocket money she had saved to those in need without hesitation.
One day last year, on her way home, Wang Ying saw a little boy slipping into a pond. The boy was struggling desperately④ in the water. Seeing this, Wang Ying quickly ran to the pond while shouting for help. She jumped into the cold water to save the boy. With the help of some workers, the boy was finally rescued. However, our little hero, like Luo Shengjiao, lost her own life.
People were sad over her death. I felt something was missing in my life. For the happiness of the boy＇s family, Wang Ying sacrificed⑤herself. Her death is a glorious death weightier than Mount Tai.

文章起笔，触景生情。看见旧照片就“情不自禁地想起了我最好的朋友。”然后，文章运用夹叙夹议的方法写了“朋友”的三方面的优秀品质和三件事：1）她是三好学生，“我”生病时误了课，她帮“我”补课；2）她是个热心的人，经常把自已攒的钱给别人；3）她是一个慷慨的人，为救别人牺牲了自己的生命。这样，从平时的表现，到关键时刻的献身，英雄形象的成长过程便活生生地展现在我们面前，给人以启迪，给人以教育。
