8 . Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on how to have a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.

Be an honest person with them.     1    . Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering (讨人喜欢的) about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust，there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.

Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating them nicely. There’s a lot more to it. You have to learn to get used to their liking. Basically, learn to study your partners’ moods, wants and needs.     2    

Make sure you are encouraging your partner.     3    . Make them feel you are someone they can really depend on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. Your partner has to be able to depend on you when needed.       

Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them.     4    . Laugh a lot with them, and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.

    5    . This usually goes along with trust, so always communicate how you feel even if it’s something that upsets you instead of screaming, talk to them. If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner. It’s important to communicate this to them, not to keep it bottled up(闷在肚子里).

A．Do not hide things from them, and do not lie.

B．Show them your personality.

C．Laughter is the key to happiness.

D．Always be willing to help and encourage them.

E．Make sure the communication is good.

F．Don’t start to neglect them and make them feel unwanted.

G．Don’t just think about yourself, but think about what your partners need out of it as well.

9 . Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn.

Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between characters in detail; the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all?

I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.

I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1, 000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1, 000 most common on a need-to-know basis.

1. What does the author think of Chinese characters?

A．They are less communicative than English words.

B．They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.

C．They show the greatness of Chinese culture.

D．They are not really that difficult.

2. What can we infer about characters in Paragraph 2?

A．Characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.

B．People believe learning to write characters is important.

C．People doubt the necessity of learning to write characters.

D．Characters may disappear with the development of society.

3. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Understanding characters.

B．Being a calligraphy master.

C．Keeping a good learning habit.

D．Learning basic handwriting skills.

4. What’s the author’s attitude to learning to write characters in the digital age?

A．Uncaring.	B．Worried.
C．Supportive.	D．Surprised.

10 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was my twelfth birthday, and what I really wanted was a new bicycle. But I knew my family couldn’t afford one.

A new bike was just a dream, so I wanted a nightstand (床头柜). I figured that at least I would have a safe place to keep my private things. So I asked my parents for a nightstand with lockable drawers (抽屉).

We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old, dark brown nightstand. It didn’t look too cool, but at least it had drawers that I could keep locked. I decided that I would paint it to make it look better.

After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck (卡住) at the back of the bottom drawer. I reached in all the way to the back and was surprised to find a bag.

When opening the bag, I realized that there were some papers in it which were some kind of official-looking documents (文件). And beneath were a bunch of dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!

I went ahead and read the papers, which turned out to be a will (遗嘱). Some old lady was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. The old lady must have died and nobody knew the money. Her family donated the nightstand to the secondhand furniture store and it was now in my hands.

I counted the money, over 1,000 dollars in total. I was going crazy. With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. I could even buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Maybe I could also get my parents a car.

What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of things for myself and my family. Or I could give it all back. “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I really didn’t need anyone else to give me the answer. I already knew right from wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of honor - my honor.
