请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Old friends

They finish your sentences, they remember the cat that ran away when you were twelve, and they tell you the truth when you’ve had a bad haircut. But mostly, they are always there for you — whether it’s in person or 41 late night phone calls — in good times and 42 . But as the years pass, it becomes increasingly 43 to see each other, to make new memories. 44 , my high school friends and I promised long ago not to let this happen. We promised to have reunions.

　　A few months ago, we met up for a two-day 45 in the American Southwest. We grew up together in Maine and have said for years that we should have a(n) 46 event, yet it’s often put off or 47 due to schedule conflicts. Not this year.

The weekend 48 long talks by the pool, wonderful meals, and a hike that brought the entire group to 49 . Not tears of sadness or anger, but an outpouring of emotion over the complete wonderment that we can be this close — twelve years after graduation — with such physical 50 between us. It’s heartbreaking that we can’t spend our days together in the same neighborhood, walking the same streets, reading the same newspaper at the same coffee shop. But that’s 51 . Grown-up life.

Most 52 is the group’s adaptability to one another. The time we spend 53 is non-existent. No need to get reacquainted (重新熟悉), we jump back in the saddle (车座) and it’s as comfortable as ever. Old friends — friends with an ever-present 54 of support and sisterhood, friends that know each other innately (天生地) — are hard to come by and yet we remain as 55 today as we were, years ago, giggling in the back row of Mr. McKechnie’s 9th grade math class.

Life today, 56 , is no math class. Our world is full of 57 , full of fear. Yet it 58 me — now, more than ever — how important it is that we stay 59 . We may have questions about our future, but we have true faith in our past, and though this 60 of friends has come to a close, we are already drawing up plans for the next one.
