That is why some friendships don’t last 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 three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better. Sooner or later every one needs understanding and helping 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. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity(大方), and understanding. 41. Some friendships don’t last very long because .

Three Important Points in Life B I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and ran down to the end of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf(小象) struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. At any time the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫)all the time, but to her calf, it was music. 45.

It was a call for help. D. It was a threat. 48. What can be the best title for text? A. A Mother’s Love B. A Brave Act C. A Deadly River D. A Matter of Life and Death C If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!” These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments (实验)to test the learn while you sleep method (方法),which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them. Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响)his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake. In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours —from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary (词汇)were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast. 49. By the learn while you sleep method, one . A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep better C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed 50. In the experiment, lessons were given . A. in the night time B. after lullabies were broadcast C. while the student was awake D. all through the twelve hours 51. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to . A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voice C. listen to the lesson again in sleep D. review the lesson by himself (责任编辑：admin) |
