1 . It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class，or maybe he or she is just homesick for the day. You can feel lonely at break or lunchtime without him or her.     1    You want to have new friends，but how do you make new friends？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends.     2    

Start by looking around your classroom and think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say "Hi" to them，smile，and be friendly.     3     Invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom. When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act politely，and say "Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.     4    Be kind and friendly，share，say positive things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

    5    It doesn't matter because when you see each other，you can share something you didn't have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends！

A．What's right for me?

B．Make a choice in your life.

C．Will he or she feel the same?

D．Offer to share something or offer greetings.

E．You might still miss that special best friend.

F．The best way to make friends is to be a friend.

G．But remember, there's always room for more friends.

2 . Social media has given rise to a cool phenomenon called “selfie（自拍）”. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.

    1     Some selfies are extreme close-ups（特写镜头）, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.

Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seem to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends.     2    .

There are also kinds of psychological（心理的）factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site.     3     A quick and easy way to attract attention from others is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and record it all through one or several selfies.     4     That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to record your own life.

Finally, there are things to be careful about when you’re posting selfies. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people.     5     So don’t post anything online, the selfie especially.

A．There are lots of selfie styles.

B．The rise of selfies has become universal.

C．But the whole world of social media is public and everyone can see it.

D．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.

E．The desire to get “likes” on selfies goes back to biological behavior.

F．There are also people who take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.

G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.

Being responsible is actual not that difficult. I used to think it was hard to growing up into a responsible member of society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car，which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive proper treatment. Not badly injured, he expressed gratitude to those giving help. Comparing with the escaped driver, I was proud of what I did.

4 . Getting to know other people is a typical activity in our daily lives. Even if you're good with people，there are likely times when you're stuck for something more to say and start wondering what topic to bring up next.     1    

Talk about the other person.

The biggest secret to being a good conversationalist is simply allowing the other people to talk about themselves. Why?     2    

Ask about work.

This one can be a little tricky because the conversation could end up sounding like a job interview. Still, if you can handle it carefully and keep it short and sweet, it can lead to an interesting discussion.

    3    

This is where it starts to get more personal. It’s up to you to carry on the conversation using these questions in a proper way. Do you play or follow any sports? What do you like to read? What kind of music do you like?

Ask about their travels.

Ask the person where they’ve been. Even if they have never left their hometown, they will likely be happy to talk about where they want to go. If you had a chance to move to any other country, which one would it be and why?     4     How did you like it?

Know what to avoid.

You know the old rule: never talk about religion, politics, money, family problems, or women’s age with people you don’t know well.     5     So you should stay extremely clear.

A．Where did you go on your last vacation?

B．Ask them what has happened in their life.

C．Find out about their interests and hobbies.

D．The risk of saying something rude is too high.

E．Then how to come up with good conversation topics?

F．It’s a subject they probably know well and feel comfortable with.

G．You can't expect miracles to happen in the conversation with someone.

5 . 短文改错

I think honesty is a important part of life. Lack of honesty lead to all kinds of problem. For example, if you lie to your friends, you will have to work hard to win back his trust. And if you can't depend them to tell you the truth, then your friendship is unlikely to lasting.

Honesty at work is just as important. A person which doesn't value honesty is a bad partner. Most people work in teams and if you cannot trust a partner, the team would break down.

In a word, it is my belief that honesty in our life is very much important. Without it, our life would become great unpleasant.

My window was rolled down before I came around the corner, and ______ he was not on the porch, I’d shout to him, hoping that in his ______ he’d hear me.

8 . How to Deal with People Who Put You Down

It's not a good feeling when someone insults（侮辱）you.     1     You just have to learn to take care of yourself and know how to deal with it when it happens.

1.Avoid reacting immediately.

When someone puts you down，deal with it by not immediately reacting to him. Getting angry will strengthen his behavior.     2     Also，it's not good for you to act out the anger or other negative emotions. You could do or say something you will regret，or you could damage yourself with stress.

2.Understand why the person does it.

    3     It is not always on purpose and may not always be meant to hurt you. Understanding what the person's motive is can help you determine how to deal with him. Sometimes people aren't really trying to be mean or hurt your feelings. They may just consider it harmless.

3.    4    

The person's words are a reflection of himself，not of you. If he were a happy person，he would not spend so much time putting down other people around him. Also，he most likely does this to other people and not just you. If you let his put-downs get to you，then he wins. Don't allow what he said to make you feel bad about yourself.

4.Ask for support.

You should tell someone and ask for help if the person is putting you down all the time. Tell someone who is an authority figure like a teacher，parent，or supervisor if the person does this to you.     5     They can stand up for you when it's happening or even report what is going on.

9 . 短文改错

One day, a young man, whom couldn’t get back home, came into my office to ask for help. He said his mother was disabled. His phone had stolen with his wallet and he hadn’t contacted her for the past two days. Therefore, my job was assessing housing applications, not provide money for travel. I asked him to wait outside unless I finished my work. After work I drove him all the way home. We arrive at his mother’s house at 10:30 p.m. She was in a wheelchair and she answered the door. I saw tears in her eye as she thanked for me. I just hoped that if my son experienced nothing similar, someone would be nicely enough to bring him home to me.

10 . 语法填空

My name is Anna Brown. Three years ago, I had a car accident and lost my left arm. At first I was depressed. However, several months after I left the hospital, I read about two inspiring athletes     1     overcame their disabilities and I was greatly inspired. Today, I’d like to tell you about     2     (they).

The first one is Jason Lester. When Jason Lester was 12 years old, he     3    (hit) by a car. One of his arms was severely injured. But today, he can run     4    (believable) long distances, and he can swim     5    (fast) and ride further than most people with no disabilities. He does them all without the full use of his right arm. In 2009, he was named the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly (ESPY) Award winner for “Best Male Athlete with a Disability”.

The second one is Melissa Stockwell. In 2004, Melissa Stockwell lost her leg. She was a swimmer in high school     6     the accident. After she got     7    (injure), she didn’t want to leave water forever just because of the accidents. She kept on     8    (swim). At last, in the 2008 Paralympic Games she became the record     9    (hold) for the 100-meter butterfly and the 100-meter freestyle.

Their stories convinced me that we can really do amazing things,     10     we’re disabled or not.
