There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?‎ The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.‎ First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.‎ But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights(吵架). What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again:‎ Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.‎ ‎21. Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.‎ A. plant trees B. find friends C. get happy D. keep fit ‎22. According to the text, you can _____your friend after a fight.‎ A. buy a present for B. never say a word to C. have dinner with D. write a letter to ‎23.What makes good friends?

Teenagers and friendship.‎ C. The trouble of growing up. D. The care and keeping of friends.‎ B ‎ It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film ‎ that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.‎ During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.‎ ‎“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”‎ One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize last year, TCM became even more famous internationally.‎ However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.‎ Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative of the World Health Organization.‎ ‎25.

We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. TCM is not exact in curing diseases B. 10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals C. 86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM D. Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM ‎27. According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .‎ A. combine western medicine B. face no challenge at all C. give an exact description of its effects D. complete with western medicine ‎28. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A report on TCM B. Opinions about TCM ‎ C. TCM & Western Medicine D.

It was a smile.‎ It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.‎ Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.‎ Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, without a word, just with a smile.‎ Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.‎ That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.‎ One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me!‎ It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.‎ ‎32. Why was the smile an important gift?‎ ‎ A.

Almost all successful students study regularly, because they know “what you give is what you get”. If you put in regular hours of studying, then you will learn more and get better grades. 37 This will help you to study regularly.‎ They have clear goals. All topperforming students have definite, specific goals. 38 They ‎ motivate (激发) you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge(挑战)you, but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve.‎ They study without pressure(压力). Successful students study a lot. But they study without putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 39 Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes, after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax, walk around your room or house, or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.‎ ‎ 40 Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It's actually very important for you.

And successful students recognize the value of studying well.‎ A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory.‎ B. But to score grade A in English, you should make wellplanned efforts.‎ C. Set aside some hours, each day or each week, for studying.‎ D. Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better.‎ E.

For example, your family rule “Come home before ten at night” is for your safety and “Never talk back to your parents” is teaching you good manners. In fact, I benefit a lot from my family rules, such as “Be gentle with everyone” and “Apologize if you hurt others’ feelings”. Sometimes family rules make us uncomfortable, but that’s the price we have to pay for a successful life.
