 1.                   

Daniel was my best friend in high school. I 1.met him for the first time on the school bus. He was nice, and important of all, we both were interested in sports. We soon became good friends. I 2.used to play basketball with him after school in the gym. High school was a great time for us, and we enjoyed the “men’s talk” between us.

第一段發生的時間在作者就讀高中時，整段文章都在敘述過去的事件，因此第1題選(A) met。
  第2題的圖示：

Past (過去)               (We graduated)      Now  (現在)
----------------------------------------X--------------- -------------------
 l--Daniel and I played basketball after school--l        (We don’t play basketball after school)

在作者高中畢業前，他和Daniel習慣於在放學後一起打籃球。

2.

But things 3. have changed since we graduated. Daniel can’t see me very often because he’s got a girlfriend. I try to talk to him, but he keeps avoiding me. Daniel 4. has told me several times that he needs more time to be with his dear Gloria. How can a girlfriend be more important than a best friend? Do you think I should find a new friend? Or should I get a girlfriend, too?

    第二段的時間點拉回到現在。
    第3題的圖示

               (We graduated)      Now

 ____________________________________________________

   

               (since we graduated)
     “since + 特定的時間”表示一個情況從過去延續到現在，要用現在完成式。
     第4題的圖示

                                  Now

 ____________________________________________________

  

                (several times)

句中的”several times”提示從以前到現在Daniel告訴作者好幾次他需要更多時間陪他的女朋友。我們用現在完成式表示動作的重複，至於動作重複的時間並不重要。
