hard at your lessons, you may feel 6 ; but you know your parents are always taking good care of your
life and your 7 ; when you get success, your friends will say 8 to you; when you do something

do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don"t always want people around. But we
would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don"t get along well. That doesn"t mean that they no
longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up (和解) and go on being friends.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them
and write to them. It is possible that we will even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising
to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think
of these people when we go to these places.
There"s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don"t. Why? It
could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares.
If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
B. we always need friends around
C. making friends is a need in people"s lives
D. we never need to be alone
do you find real friendship and keep it?"
The Care and Keeping of Friends" by American author 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 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 (抱怨) and do their 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. What should you do when you
have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk.
If he or she doesn"t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says 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. The book also has advice on some small
but important things like celebrating your friends" success. Even if you haven"t had a real friend before, you
will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most
important thing in your life.
B. an old saying
C. Sally Seamans is an American writer
D. God"s way of taking care of us
friendship is thought very important. Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don"t
give friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don"t last very long. To have a
friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to
treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning the following rules.
Honesty (诚实) is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust (信任) one another.
If you don"t tell the truth, people usually find out, and you may lose your friend"s trust. Good friends
always trust in one another to speak and do things honestly.
Generosity means sharing (分享) and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don"t have to give your
lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings. These can be valuable
(宝贵的) to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friends
know you better.
Sooner or late everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at
school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in
solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your
friend"s place, so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. In fact,
good friendship will just not easily last. That is to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will
die away.
1. Is it easy to keep a good friendship?
2. What are the three rules to be a good friend?
3. Which is the base of friendship among the three rules?
4. How do you let your friends know you?
5. In what way can you keep friendships long?
large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because
those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country
roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school,
your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care
of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations (祝贺) to you;
when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something
good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see
that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say
you are very happy, because you have something else that can"t be bought with money.
When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances
to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life
is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be
a happy and lucky person.
B. the people who have beautiful houses
C. the people who have nice cars
D. everyone
Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the top. Along
the way, he can stop and look around. And the h he climbs, the more wonderful his view (视野)
is. If he k climbing, he will have a new world b him. He will have a new way of
s everything.
Now learning another language is s like climbing a mountain. This new language can give
you a new view of l . And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way
into people"s minds and h , into a culture very d from the one of your own. This will
make you richer, richer in things that money can"t buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a
plane, you can be an armchair tourist through books.
Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to e the scenery around him, everyone
who is interested in reading will find pleasure in b as he fights on to learn more and more of
that new language.
