    What are old friends? They finish your sentences, they remember the cat that ran away when youwere twelve, and they tell you the truth when you've had a bad haircut. But more importantly, they are  always there for you—whether it's in person or via late-night phone calls—accompanying you throughgood times and bad times. But as the years pass, it becomes increasingly difficult to see each other andto create new memories.

【正确答案】

【参考译文】 什么是老朋友?老朋友会接完你没说完的句子,他们记得在你十二岁时突然离开的那只猫,当你剪了一个糟糕的发型时,他们会跟你说实话。但更重要的是,他们总会在你身边——或是亲自,或是通过深夜的电话——陪伴你度过美好时光或者艰难时刻。但是随着年月流逝,彼此越来越难见到对方,也越来越难产生新的回忆。
