         True friends double your happiness and half your burdens. Basically how you would like a true friend
    to be is what you should be like to your true friends. Trust, forgiveness, responsibility are some elements
    of a true friendship. True friendships are hard to achieve. And what's more, life is short. So treasure these
    friends if you already have them. If you don't continue to search, because once you have them, life will
    become so much easier to live, no matter what happens. I have been through very difficult times and I
    dare say, without my friends, I would not have made it.
         Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain them. Not to mention time. When your friend
    needs you, and when things are not going too well on your side, it is often so easy to turn a deaf ear to
    their requests. It is especially during these times, that you must find the strength to help your friend. And it
    is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger.
        And you must always be happy for their successes, even when things are not going too well for you. It might be hard to do this, but it is something that you need to learn. Think about all the sacrifices your
    friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles. Think
    abut all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad, difficult times you went through together. That should
    give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend. Remember, true friends are the next best thing to
    family. They will always be your supporters.

    3. True friendships are hard to achieve because ______.
    A. friendships can help you through difficult times
    B. friendships need lots of energy and patience
    C. your friends need you to give more help to them

          The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (疫病) that flesh receives.
    The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are
    caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or
    indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the
    Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have
    reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside
    world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
         During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕), cold and wet,
    showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
       In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
         At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they
    gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in
    drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
         If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by
    scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more on cold weather than at other times, and this
    makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
         No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as
    aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
    1.The writer offered _____ examples to support his argument.
    A. 4      
    B. 5        
    C. 6        
    D. 3
    2. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage? 
    A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
    B. Colds are not caused by cold.
    C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
    D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
    3. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _____.
    A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions
    B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather 
    C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
    D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world
    4. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _____'
    A. suffered a lot          
    B. never caught colds  
    C. often caught colds      
    D. became very strong
    5.  The passage mainly discusses______.
    A. the experiments on the common colds
    B. the fallacy about the common cold 
    C. the reason and the way people catch colds
    D. the continued spread of common colds

         As Mrs Thompson stood in front of her 5 grade class on the very first day of school, she told the
    children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
         But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
    Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes
    were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
    where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
    bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
         However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
         Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
    neatly and has good manners…, he is a joy to be around ."
    His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is
    troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
         His third grade teacher wrote, " His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but
    his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."
         Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.
    He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
         Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
    beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy's present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
    brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy's gifts, a shinestone bracelet with
    stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! " What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
    lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
         Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, " Today you smelled just like my Mom used
    to …" His teacher cried all night and,from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing ,and arithmetic
    and began to teach children instead.
    1. What is the best title of this text?
    A. A Student's Best Friend
    B. How to Be a Good Students

    3. How did Teddy's behavior change between Grades1 and 4?
    A. He became better at making friends.
    B. He became closer to his father.
    C. He paid less attention to school.
    D. He stopped doing his homework.
    4. Why did Mrs Thompson feel ashamed after she read Teddy's file?

    B. She was being unpleasant to Teddy.
    C. She took delight in failing Teddy in the exam.

          Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football,
    tennis, cricket anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was
    the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.
         It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking
    alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his
    mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first
    marathon.
         The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
    across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's School of Adventure in
    Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits ( 成就). Intrigued, Saunders read
    all he could about Arctic Explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
         Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
    dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You're completely crazy,'" Saunders says. In 2001,after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear.
         Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This
    October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back,
    an 1,800-mile journey that has never been complete on skis.
    1. The turning point in Saunders' life came when ______.
    A. he started to play ball game
    B. he got a mountain bike at age 15
    C. he ran his first marathon at age 18
    D. he started to receive Ridgway's training
    2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway______ .
    A. dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasy
    B. built up his body together with Saunders
    C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
    D. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
    3. What do we know about Saunders?
    A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
    B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
    C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
    D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
    4. The underlined word "intrigued" in the third paragraph probable means _____.
    A. Excited      
    B. Convinced    
    C. Delighted      
    D. Fascinated
    5. It can be inferred that Saunders' journey to the North Pole ______.  
    A. was accompanied by his old playmates
    B. set a record in the North Pole expedition 
    C. was supported by other Arctic explorers 
    D. made him well-known in the 1960s

         Others may have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried. It might seem impossible for you to match them. You might then think that it's because you are not smart enough or don't have enough talents. All these give reasons to you not to like yourself.
         Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation and achieve success in your life. Here are some tips:
         1) Forgive yourself
         You may have made mistakes in the past, but you can learn from them. It's true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It's normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness
         2) Accept things you can't change
         There are some things you cannot change. So learn to accept them. You will feel much relieved if you treat things you can't change the way they deserve: just accept them, smile, and move on.
         3) Focus on your strengths
         Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strength which gives you a unique combination nobody else has. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
         4) Write your success stories
         Sometimes, we are so focused on what we don't have that we forget about what we have. So write your success stories. They do not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.
         5)Stop comparing yourself with others
         You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it's useless to compare yourself with others.
