True friends are hard to find. You often think you can believe in someone, but later he or she may let you down. However, always be a good friend yourself and you may change the situations.

    1    

Part of being a friend is being prepared to devote your time and energy to helping out your friend. If your friend needs a shoulder to cry on, just be there for him or her. You will attract those who value your loyalty.

    2    

When you say you will do something, do it. When your friend tells you a secret, keep it secret from others. Be someone that people know that they can rely on. If you show this quality to your friend, he or she will appreciate it and will be reliable in return.

Be a good listener.

Many people think they have to appear very interesting. Far more than that, however, is your ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them, ask questions about their interests, and take time to learn more about them.

    3    

Show others what makes you stand apart from the crowd. Talk about interests and hobbies. Everyone has interesting stories to tell—don’t be afraid to share yours. Besides, a little humour always keeps a conversation light and happy. People love to be around someone who makes them laugh.

A. Be a reliable friend.
B. Be loyal to a friend.
C. Stress your good qualities.
D. Tell your secret to your friend.

Last weekend, I took part in a forest clean-up activity. It was organized by Green Hope, an organization devoted to protecting forests.起初，我不想参加，    1    but then I thought, “What if nobody goes?”

Our team leader, Joe, took us to a forest outside the city. I was sad to find rubbish everywhere.     2    There was a “No littering” sign at the entrance to the forest, but that didn’t stop people from throwing their rubbish on the ground. Joe divided us into two groups:    3     one group cleaned up the north side of the forest, and the other the south side. After several hours’ work,看到森林比以前看起来要干净些，我们很开心    4    It was absolutely worth our effort!

There will be another clean-up activity in the greenbelt next Saturday. You can call Joe and sign up    5     if you would like to help. Everyone who takes part in the activity will receive a medal. I’ll join you too if I have time.

How to Be Able to Study Well

If you have an exam coming up but are faced with so many distractions, and you just don’t know how to carry out your revision, the following tips can help you.

    1    

Choose a place with enough space where you can organize your books and papers and spread them out as much as you need to. Make sure you have everything you need—books, notes, paper and pencils. If you are in your room, consider hanging a sign on the door such as “No interruption please.”

    2    

There are varieties of ways you can use to commit the information to memory. For example, create flashcards. Writing flashcards will help you remember, and ask another person to quiz you about the information with your flashcards or notes. Or offer to teach someone about the subject matter.

    3    

You can break a snack into several mini-rewards. For example, “For each paragraph I translate, I’ll eat one apple slice.” Thus, if your stomach tells you to get that food again, you’ll have to finish something small first. Parents may be willing to offer rewards as well. If you love your dad’s milkshakes(奶昔), you can strike a deal to get one if you memorize your English expressions by the target time.

A. Create reading cards to teach young children.
B. Find a quiet, comfortable place to study.
C. Consider choosing a reward to motivate (激励) yourself.
D. Use different study techniques to learn the information.
