1 . Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk， laugh and do things with. Certainly， sometimes 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 just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make it up and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much but we can call them or write to them. We can also make new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? Friends can make us feel happy. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.

2 . Healthy eating doesn't just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt(酸奶) or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don't eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

7 . A scientist once said that the Internet was the world's largest library, but that all the books were on the floor! In other words, it's full of information but it can be difficult to find just what you're looking for. The Internet has another drawback, too. Anyone can create a website, which means you can find websites about every subject imaginable. Unluckily, it also means that a lot of information which is written on them isn't true!
The Internet provides more than just information. There are sites where you can download（下载）music and films either for free or for a small charge. Other sites allow you to get in touch with people from all over the world and there are some great online shops like eBay where people sell used clothes, CDs and even cars very cheaply.
The Internet is helpful in our life, but we shouldn't depend on it too much. Because of its size, it's very difficult to control and a lot of the information isn't worth reading. Some people also fear that surfing the net has taken the place of other healthier activities. Whether you like it or hate it, you'd better get used to it because it's here to stay!
Here's a survey（调查）about how people of my age use the Internet. 80% of them said they used it to help them with their homework. 70% said they used it to keep in touch with their friends. 40% said that they downloaded music from the Internet. And 30% said they bought something online. Only 10% said they couldn't use the Internet very often because they didn't have a computer at home.

Pat became crazy about detective (侦探) stories when he was about 12 years old. Every day, he tried to find a mystery to solve. One of his prime interests was the family safe (保险柜), which was kept in his parents’ bedroom. ________
One day, when his parents were away. Pat managed to open the safe, although he was nervous. To his surprise, he found only a book of stamps inside. To him, it was just a book of old Chinese stamps from the early 1930s to the late 1940s. Where did it come from? Why was it locked in the safe? It was really a mystery.

10 . I walked into a stranger as he passed by me.
“Excuse me.” I said.
He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me, too. I didn’t notice you.”
We apologized(道歉) and went for our own ways.
Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too near. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. “Move out of the way!” I shouted.
She walked away sadly. But I didn’t feel like I had to apologize to her.
While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me. “While dealing with a stranger, you were polite. But with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You will find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?”
I quietly went and sat down by my daughter’s bed.
“Honey, I am so sorry.” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?”
She said, “I found them by the tree. I picked them because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue ones.”
I tearfully replied, “Sweetie, I’m really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”
“It’s OK. I love you anyway.” She said as she kissed me on my cheek.
