13、 each other.I think that is very important.I regret to say that I have lost touch with four or five friends since I have been at college,its a pity,but I have been changed and they have changed too.We just dont click any more.I think the reason why Wang Chaosu and I are all still friends,as I said e
14、arlier,is because we have similar personalities,and were both still crazy about sport.Its my guess that well always be good friends.I hope so.get on(with)相处融洽，继续(做某事)Time is getting on.继续Get on with your work!继续工作吧。成功to get on in ones job 在事业上取得成功get on for（时间、年纪、距离）接近，迈进，快到She is getting on for fifty.她年近50了。predictvt./vi.预言;预测;预示predict rain for tomorrow预告明天有雨She predicted that he would marry a doctor.她预言他将娶一位医生。
