1 . People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times.     1     Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.

Always There for You

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties.     2     It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend has other things to do so he/she cannot always listen immediately to your problems.

    3    

Honest is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

Always Respectful

    4     Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always Understanding

    5     A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding, even if it isn't his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn't take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

A．Always Honest.

B．Everyone likes to make friends.

C．Sometimes a good friend will turn against you.

D．It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend.

E．A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice.

F．A true friend will always respect your opinions no matter whether he/she agrees or not.

G．You've made friends since childhood, but you still don't know who your true friends are.

2 . My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard.     1     Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon.     2     She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.

    3     Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high-quality clothes for us.     4     She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.

Often, she says to us, “work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society”. What a piece of good advice this is!     5     This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.

A．As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.

B．She enjoys listening to classic music.

C．She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals.

D．She loves her students and cares for them.

E．My mother is hard-working and never wastes money.

F．Can you tell us something about your mother?

G．I never forget it and always bear it in my mind.

8 . 原文填空（每空只写一词）

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a     1     business career and study music. My parents, though     2     and sharing my love of music,     3     of it as a     4    . This was     5     in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Springhill College and,     6     much beloved and respected in the     7    , earned     8     enough to provide for his large family.     9     a consequence of this example, my parents     10     upon college instead of a conservatory of music.

9 . One Saturday afternoon, I went to a fast food restaurant to have some food with my kids. As we were walking into the restaurant, I noticed a woman smoking a cigarette outside. While we were waiting in line, with about ten other people, we saw the woman rush back into the store to help the busy staff.

A customer standing next to us started yelling at the employee who had begun filling brown paper bags with fries, burgers, and nuggets, “I saw you,” she said. “I saw you out there smoking; then you came in straight and touched our food! It’s disgusting! Why would you do that?” The woman wouldn’t stop. Everyone was staring. The employee was getting teary. It looked as if she just wanted to find a place to hide. The manager came over and told her to wash her hands and leave the floor for a while. He then apologized to the customer.

“That’s disgusting,” my oldest son whispered to me, “But I do feel bad for her.” I was glad he followed it up with that last sentence. His comment showed me that he’d probably never treat someone the way that customer had treated that employee.

You are allowed to be angry at others’ improper behavior and tell them how you feel. However, you don’t need some audience or witnesses when you are making negative comments on others. Doing that in public doesn’t strengthen your point.

I’m willing to bet that the woman being criticized was so shamed that she wasn’t able to hear the message that was being forced down her throat. However, had the customer taken her aside, and said in a quiet voice, “I noticed you didn’t wash your hands after your smoke break; can you please go to do that now?” The employee would have had the opportunity to do just that. The message the customer wanted to convey would have gotten to that employee more effectively, and her entire day would not have been ruined.

1. Why was the customer so angry?

A．The employee smoked in front of her.	B．She was yelled at by people around her.
C．She had to wait in a long line for her food.	D．The employee touched food without washing hands.

2. How did the employee respond after hearing the customer’s words?

A．She felt confused and annoyed.	B．She turned to her manager for help.
C．She was very sad and embarrassed.	D．She dealt with the problem calmly.

3. The comments of the author’s oldest son indicated that he           .

A．had sympathy for the employee	B．supported the customer’s behavior
C．cared little about the employee’s action	D．had experienced the situation many times

4. What’s the author’s attitude to the other customers?

A．Supportive.

B．Sympathetic

C．Objective.

D．Neutral.

5. What does the author mainly want to convey?

A．We should treat every person equally.	B．We should always mind our behavior.
C．We should admit our mistakes bravely.	D．We should avoid criticizing someone in public.
