All the definitions(定义) and facts in a dictionary or book do not convey what friendship is really about. It cannot be understood through 36 . The only way to understand friendship is through experience, which 37 all the senses.
Friendship can be seen. It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands. It is seen in a child freely 38 the last cookie. It is not 39 to see friendship; it is always there for eyes that can see.
Friendship can be heard. It is heard in the words of two friends squeezing in lunch together on an extremely 40 day although they have a lot of things to do. It is the way they 41 each other, not the words. Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen.
Friendship is 42 in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, and the wet kiss from the family dog. The touch 43 more than words or gestures. It is 44 understood and clearly shows the feelings.
Friendship has a taste. It tastes like homemade bread: the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully 45 , then the quiet 46 as the dough(生面团) rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients 47 there are the thoughts of the baker as her hands mix the flour or her 48 as she waits for the dough to rise. 49 and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that 50 . Warm, fresh from the oven, the difference you taste is 51 .
Friendship has a smell. It smells like the slightly burnt cookies your brother made especially for you. It smells like your home when 52 it after being away for a long tome. Friendship has 53 smells.
Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is a(n) 54 of the heart. It is the language of the heart --- a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the 55 . Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.

Just as the teacher hands out the spelling test, you see Jeff pull out a small piece of paper with a lot of small words on it. Jeff hides the note into his hand but soon takes it out again. While he"s taking the test, you see him looking back and forth between the teacher and his paper. There"s no mistaking it — he"s cheating.
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
小题1:The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.| A．it is unfair to other people | | B．it does harm to their heath | | C．teachers should punish them | | D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once |
小题2:Some students like cheating mainly because _______.| A．the material in the test is very difficult | | B．they want to do better than the others | | C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy | | D．they have little time to study |
小题3:The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ______.| A．cheating isn’t a good idea | | B．why kids cheat in the test | | C．some kids can’t pass the test without cheating | | D．some kids don’t spend time studying |
小题4:We can learn from the passage______.| A．cheaters are often thought highly of | | B．people show no respect for those who cheat | | C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble | | D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice |
小题5:Those who cheat are advised to ______.| A．spend more time on school than on sports | | B．find good solutions instead of cheating | | C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy | | D．ask their classmates for good methods of study |

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body.Through the years I would 36 the correct answer.When I was younger, I thought 37 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No.Many people are 38 .But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again.Since 39 my first attempt, I had often thought over the correct answer.So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it 40_ be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not 41 because there are many people who are blind."
42 the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her response to my answer was, "No, but you are getting 43 every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa 44 .Everybody was crying.My Mommy looked at me when it was our 45 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa.She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was 46 when she asked me this now.I always thought this was a 47
between her and me.She saw the 48 on my face and told me, "This question is very important.It shows that you have really 49 your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears.She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 50 ."
I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is because a crying friend or 51 one can rest their head on it .Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear.I only 52 that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on 53 you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a 54 one.It is sympathetic(同情的) to the pain of 55 .

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it"s so-and-so"s fault. "or "I know I"m late, but it"s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner"s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners ______.| A．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives | | B．deal with problems rather than blame others | | C．have responsible and able colleagues | | D．blame themselves rather than others |
小题2:The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.| A．avoid | B．accept | C．improve | D．consider |
小题3:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.| A．find a better way to handle the problem | | B．blame him for his lack of responsibility | | C．tell him to find the cause of the problem | | D．ask a more able colleague for help |
小题4:When problems occur, winners take them as______.| A．excuses for their failures | B．barriers to greater power | | C．challenges to their colleagues | D．chances for self-development |
小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage? | A．A Winner"s Secret. | B．A Winner"s Achievement. | | C．A Winner"s Opportunity. | D．A Winner"s Problem. |

A little girl lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she grew she would play in the small garden. There, she was able to see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill. This house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers. Although she loved her parents and her family, she yearned to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there.
When she got to an age when she gained enough skill and sensibility to go outside her garden fence, she asked her mother if she could go for a bike ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she should keep close to the house and not wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.
As she dismounted her bike and leaned it against the gate post, she focused on the path that led to the house and then on the house itself. She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty, reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that was derelict.
So sad she didn"t go any further and turned, and heart broken as she remounted her bike. As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.
