Jesse and I are good friends. But we have recently cooled off. It was last month that the story began in gym class.

“Come on. Emily!” Jesse sounded so impatient. “We’ll be late for class.” After math class was gym class, and I was a bit slow that day. Jesse kept urging me to hurry up.

Just then I found my wallet missing. I dropped my book bag to dig through my coat pockets. I was wet with anxiety.

“Someone took it.” Jesse said. As usual, she was quick to point away from the bright side of things.

Even though we were best friends. Jesse and I were just so different.

Jesse and I had to rush into the gym. Soon Jesse spread the news about the theft. By last period in gym class, I was tired of having to say over and over again, “I’m sure I just left it at home.”

After gym class, we went into the locker room. I was changing when I heard a gasp from Jesse. I looked at her and found her face was white with shock. There at her feet, was my wallet.

“It fell out of her locker!” Jesse pointed at Hellen a “new girl” in our class. “She stole it.” Everyone began to accuse Hellen at once.

“Jesse caught her red-handed.”

“Report it!”

Some people were beginning to wonder about Hellen.

I looked over at Hellen. She picked up the wallet and held it out to me. Her hands were trembling. “I found it in the parking lot. I was going to give it to you.”

Jesse spit the words “I’m so sure!” at her.

“Really, it’s true.” Hellen’s eyes began to fill with tears.

I reached for my wallet. I didn’t know what to think, but when I looked over at Jesse, her attitude made me sick inside. I looked at Hellen. She was scared but looked sincere.I knew I held her reputation in my hands.

“I am so glad you found it,” I smiled. “Thanks, Hellen.” The tension around us broke.

2 . 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。

At a neighbor’s pool the summer after sixth grade, Charley shouted out those famous last words, “Hey, watch this!” As he dove into the pool, Tad froze. It wasn’t the deep end!

Charley was hurt bad when he hit the bottom of the swimming pool. The doctor said he might have broken his back and could lose the use of his legs. His life would change forever. Tad didn’t see Charley for over a month after he was carried away in the screaming ambulance.

When Tad went to visit Charley in the hospital, his “Hey, dude, how’s it going?” was greeted by an annoyed grunt (嘟哝声) . Looking small and pale, Charley cried, “I can’t walk-how do you think I feel? I wish I was dead!”

“Bro, you’ll get well! You’re tough.”

“No, the doctor said I won’t.”

“Aw, man. That’s horrible!” And the conversation died right there.

Tad didn’t go back after that. He just didn’t know what to say. When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad went over to his house a few times and played video games, but it just wasn’t the same. Not only was his friend’s body damaged, so was his spirit. Tad had made friends with other boys who enjoyed all the things he and Charley used to do. Even if he felt sad and guilty, he wasn’t spending more time at Charley’s. Tad wanted to help and be a good friend but didn’t know how now.

Charley just became sadder and sadder, and Tad spent less and less time with him as the school year passed.

When summer break started again, Tad didn’t see much of Charley. He had made the baseball team and didn’t have time for video games. At least he told himself that was the reason. He was shocked right before eighth grade started when he saw Charley sailing down the sidewalk with a big black dog by his wheelchair. “Wow, what’s this?” Said Tad, running over to his friend.

“This is Rowdy! He helps me.”

“Wow, what does he do?” Tad was interested.

    3    . Celebrate your friends’ successes and be there for them during challenging times. Offer a helping hand or a listening ear when needed. Showing kindness and support strengthens your bond with others and makes them feel comfortable around you.

Be respectful of boundaries. Everyone has their personal space and limits. It’s important to recognize and honor them.     4    . Treat them with kindness and avoid judgment.

    5    . Discover shared hobbies, activities, or passions with your friends. Engaging in activities together creates a sense of friendship and strengthens your connection. It also provides opportunities for meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

4 . What to look for when finding the perfect workout partner

There are a ton of benefits to having a great workout partner that pushes you to reach your goals. But it can initially be a little difficult to find the right person to work out with.     1    

● Your best friend might not be your best partner. While you and your friend may get on well outside the gym, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll make great workout partners. One of the best reasons is that there can be a level of competition, which pushes both of you to work harder.     2     It could push your friendship into some awkward places that end up hurting your relationship.

●     3     Common sense tells us that we should work out with someone who’s at a similar place in hitting the same goals! But that isn’t guaranteed to be the best matchup. In fact, you might do better partnering up with someone who’s better than you.     4     For you, working out with someone who’ s faster or stronger could add a level of competition that causes you to push your limits. For your partner, they’ll have someone who’s motivated to keep up, which is great for them, too.

● Get on the same schedule.     5     You could be perfectly in step with someone, but if you’re never able to work out together, there’s no point. That’s why it’s important to take scheduling into account right from the start.

A．Pick a partner who is fitter than you.

B．It’s actually a win-win for both of you.

C．Choose your workout partner in your gym.

D．Here are some tips for finding the perfect workout partner.

E．You wouldn’t be comfortable adding this element to your friendship.

F．You’ll more likely show up for your exercise when working out with a friend.

G．All of this is meaningless if you can’t even find the time to meet up for each other.

5 . How to Ask Friends if They’re Okay

Keeping in touch with your family and friends and asking how they’re going is important, but can be difficult.     1    , sometimes the best thing you can do is listen and let them know you’re there for them.

·Before the chat

    2     Don’t force it if they say they don’t feel like talking. Try to remove any distractions before the chat. If they say they don’t want to talk, let them know you’re there if they change their mind.

    3    

Begin with open-ended(开放式的)questions, rather than just telling them what you think. When people are going through something tough, often, they just want to be understood.

·How to respond

After someone’s told you about something tough they’re going through, don’t just move asking questions and checking to the next topic. Be a good listener by paying attention, you’ve understood what they’ve said.     4    , but don’t try and solve their problems unless they ask for your advice.

·After your chat

After someone’s told you they’re going through a tough time, make sure to contact them. You might even want to meet with them again to chat about what’s going on at another time. Many important discussions will take place over several different chats on separate days. After talking about something important, people take time to process how they’re feeling.     5    

A．How to start

B．Showing your care

C．Offer your support

D．When your friends are okay

E．This is quite normal for most people

F．When you’re worried about someone

G．Find a nice time and a quiet place to chat

The girl looked up. Chloe saw that she was crying, and there was a deep cut on her knee from which blood was oozing (流出). “Thank you. I am OK,” said the girl, though it was clear that she was in pain.

“What’s your name?” asked Chloe. ‘I am Minnie,” said the wounded girl. “Minnie,” Chloe said softly, “your knee is bleeding. Come, I will take you home.” “It’s Ok. I will be all right. You’d better hurry, since today there is an assembly at school,” Minnie said, trying to get up.

9 . It all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.

“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and came back with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”

I said absolutely nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.

A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”

“I'm not going to college.” I said.

“Why not?” he asked.

“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.

“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.

I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the book Martin Eden. “I think that should do it.” he said.

Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes at Wayne University part-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.

One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.

1. What do we know about the author?

A．He often told lies.

B．He quit school unwillingly.

C．He had thought little of education before.

D．He became a published author.

2. What kind of person is Carl?

A．Caring.

B．Emotional.

C．Stubborn.

D．Cautious.

3. What message does Carl want to convey?

A．Reading makes a rich man.

B．Reading is the journey of the soul.

C．Reading makes a person better known.

D．Reading opens up new opportunities.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．A strong desire for college	B．A wish for better education
C．A wise friend	D．A wise book
