A

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong – even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture. 1. What is the main idea of the text? A. Easy Ways to Make Friends Friends

2. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person_________ . A. who has been mistaken for another B. who has been blamed unfairly C. who has treated friends badly mistakes

3. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _________. A. we have much in common B. we know our friends’ mistakes C. we treat our disagreements wisely for long

4. What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion? A. Stick to our own prints of view

C. Make an apology first

B

D. Change our lifestyles

Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.

Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates (释放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 5. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ . A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single B. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage

D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 6. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ . A. a rewarding task B. a funny job C. a thankless job

D. a source of inevitable pain

7. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于) ________ .

A. hatred

B.ignorance

D. misunderstanding

C. prejudice

8. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ . A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain C. be able to distinguish happiness from fun D. put up with pain under all circumstances

How words came into being is unknown. All we assume（推测）is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.

13. We learn from the text that language might have begun with

A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds 14.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

A. The learning of new words. B. The importance of old words

C. The relation of human experience with words. D. The gradual change and development of words.

15. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?

A. Use words skillfully. B. Make musical speeches C. Learn poems by heart. D. Associate with listeners.

Why Do Some Survive?

In almost every disaster, some people survive. 16 In his book Deep Survival, Laurence Gonzales tries to answer that question.

Gonzales says that about 75 percent of people in a disaster do one of two things. Some of them freeze. They stop moving and thinking. Others walk around in a confused

state. 17 And when they do understand their situation, they won’t accept it.

But disaster survivors accept their situation very quickly, and they know their own limits, Gonzales says. 18 Small children and inexperienced climbers, for example, often survive in the wild better than stronger people do. Why? They know when to rest. They know when they should be fearful. They trust their senses.

19 When planes crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, hundreds of people were trapped inside. Security told them to wait in their offices for help. But many of the survivors did not listen to security. Instead of waiting for help, they walked down the stairs to safety. “They were not rule followers; they thought for themselves ...” Gonzales says.

Many survivors are also part of a strong community. 20 They want to see them again. Aron Ralston, the climber who cut off his own arm, is a good example. Thinking about his family helped him hold on. And sometimes to survive, you just need to hold on a little longer.

A．How do they assess the situation?

B．They don’t seem to realize what is happening. C．Many survivors are also independent thinkers. D．Do these survivors share any special characteristics? E．They don’t know how to handle the unexpected situation. F．They feel very connected to family and friends, says Gonzales.

G．Often, they are not the most skilled, the strongest, or the most experienced in their group.
