Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, 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 (慷慨的), be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If a friend finds out that you aren’t honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always ask one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes to your friends. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy. And naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing, your friends can know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding when something goes wrong. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. So to be a friend, you must learn to 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 the same. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

【推荐2】There are many expressions with heart. One of them is to “lose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you, then you are sure to have a “broken heart”. In your sadness, you think that the person you love is “hard-heart”, and in fact, has a “heart of stone”.
You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy (同情) for your situation.Your friend “has her heart in the right place” if she says she is sorry for how you feel.
If your friend says, “My heart bleeds (流血) for you”, she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
When you are feeling afraid, “your heart is in your mouth”. You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.
If that bank says no to you, do not “lose heart”. Be “strong-hearted”. Sit down with the banker and have a “heart to heart” talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a “change of heart” and agree to lend you the money. Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.

【推荐3】The wombat (袋熊) has a small, fat body and strong legs. Some people think it looks like a cute little bear. Wombats come in different colors, from black, to grey to yellow.
The wombat makes its home underground. Its strong legs help it to dig underground. Some wombat burrows (洞穴) can be 100 feet long, but most are about 15 feet long.
Wombats don’t eat meat. They are herbivores. They eat grass, roots and tree bark (树皮). They come out at night to eat.
There are no wombats in the United States, except in zoos. Like kangaroos, wombats are from Australia. A mother wombat has one baby each year. She carries her young baby in a pocket, like a kangaroo.
Wombats are quiet animals. They don’t make a loud noise. Wombats can also be easily trained. When raised by people, wombats can live up to 30 years.

【推荐1】I'm confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence(暴力) is the least civilized(文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?
When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees(难民) exist, too.
A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don't think bombs(炸弹) can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom(智慧) and talk it over?
Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?

【推荐2】If you’ve ever been annoyed by the sound of someone eating, especially as they noisily slurp noodles, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
A company has recently designed a fork that connects to an app on your smart phone, which will then play noise cancelling sounds if you happen to slurp your noodles too loudly. The fork was designed with a microphone in its handle that is trained to recognize the sound of slurping. The microphone will then send a signal to the phone app, setting off the noise cancelling sounds.
The company that designed the fork, called Otohiko fork, was inspired by what is called “noodle harassment” by social media users, which is running wild in Japan．“The Japanese, who generally dislike noisy eating, consider it proper and even preferable to suck up one’s noodles with a loud slurping sound”. Unfortunately for visitors, however, such enthusiastic slurping tends to grate on their nerves, which is what lead to the creation of the phrase “noodle harassment” in the first place.
The company behind the fork, Nissin, is the very same company that invented Cup Noodles, who brought instant noodles to the world nearly 70 years ago, so they are definitely concerned about whether or not foreigners are put off by the sound of slurping noodles.
The fork is being sold for a good $130, but those bothered enough by noodle slurpers will likely find it well worth the money．Nissin is only planning a limited run of 5000 forks for the time being, which can now be pre-ordered only through their website.
The company is planning to begin releasing them just in time for the holidays. Of course, it still remains to be seen if the fork can be programmed to drown out the sound of loud chewers, which is probably of greater concern to sensitive Westerners.
1. From the text we can know that________.
| A．“noodle harassment” is used to reduce the noise |
| B．the Otohiko fork will encourage noodle sales in Japan |
| C．the microphone in its handle stops the slurping sound |
| D．the app on a smart phone operates just like a silencer |

【推荐2】Finland（芬兰） isn’t on the North Pole and isn’t always covered by snow. Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes. There are plenty of reindeer living in the forest and there is a wonderful tradition of making wooden toys, so maybe Father Christmas keeps a factory in Finland. In summer, kids can enjoy long, long days that never end——the nights never really get dark. The following are some interesting things to do in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Market Square
Start your visit at the open-air market at Market Square on the South Harbor. In summer, you can watch people selling fish and potatoes from their boats, eat a bag of fresh strawberries, or a sandwich from the Old Market Hall and sit out on the stone dock（码头） to watch the boats coming and going.
Take a boat ride
From the Market Square, there are four or five possible boat rides. You can take a boat to travel around the islands of Helsinki. Or, you can take a water bus to Helsinki Zoo.
Seurasaari
Seurasaari is only minutes from the center of Helsinki. Once you cross the bridge to the island, you’ll find yourself in 18th and 19th century Finland.
1. What is Finland actually covered?| A．Snow. | B．Forests. | C．Lakes. | D．B and C. |
| A．a kind of present | B．a kind of animal | C．a kind of traffic sign | D．a kind of tradition |
