         We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea
    is old. Young people and their parents don't understand each other. The world has always kept
    changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, "Bury me on my face because

    to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to
    meetings and talked a lot, but it didn't seem to make much difference. "
        "Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn't know when the fighting would stop. They
    wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn't want to think about the future.
    They thought nothing could be done about it."
        "Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world
    better. They are trying to help other people. They're making people listen to them. I am proud
    of their generation."

         In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You
    can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather
    friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down,
    they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities
    (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
         Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how
    another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He
    puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also
    a good listener.
         At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in
    others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
    Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he t
    ells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I
    need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
         There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom
    we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I
    especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We
    share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor
    (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I
    know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
         When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
    1. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
    A. understanding.    
    B. honesty.  
    C. reliability.    
    D. a sense of humor.
    2. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .
    A. they will give you all that they have when you need help
    B. you will be refused when you get into trouble
    C. you will become rich
    D. you can be sure that you get real friends
    3. Good friends need to ______.
    A. always point out each other's mistakes  
    B. be helped with money
    C. understand each other's feelings    
    D. have money or luck
    4. This passage mainly discuss ______ .
    A. the qualities of a friend        
    B. where to choose friends
    C. how to get along with friends  
    D. the importance of having a friend

         Technology is the application(应用) of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern
    technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New
    machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall
    output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in
    America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television
    sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of
    modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via
    (通过) medical technology.
         Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the
    answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as
    we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology
    depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United
    States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are
    running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes
    (代用品)for many of them through our research programs.
         Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor and capital)
    are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people
    will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or
    inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us
    maintain our standard of living.
    1. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. The definition of technology
    B. Modern technology
    C. The application of technology
    D. The development of technology
    2. Which is the main idea of the passage?
    A. Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.
    B. The three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology.
    C. Technology is the response to our needs.
    D. The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.
    3. According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of _______.
    A. higher quality of life
    B. medical technology
    C. modern farming machinery
    D. technological substitute

         Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
    This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.
    Here's how:
         1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things
    that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your
    time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget
    to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,
    but it will force you to realize wha is happening to your time.
         2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this
    space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials.
    No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
         3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything
    the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember
    what the teacher says.
         4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important
    points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the
    next day, reading that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
         5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have
    learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if
    you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
         There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover
    many others after you have tried these.
