　　Natalie Hampton spent most of her 7th and 8th grade school years eating lunch alone. The new girl was at an all-girls private school in Los Angeles. A group of “mean girls” excluded (把……排斥在外) her from parties, called her names and even physically attacked her. They told her she was ugly and would never have any friends.
Once a kid who loved going to school, now Natalie dreaded it. She stopped eating, and she couldn’t sleep. The anxiety (焦虑) became so bad that she had to be hospitalized. Her mom calls it “the darkest period of our lives”.
Natalie’s mother sent her to another school for high school. Now a 16-year-old junior, she’s happy there, with a group of close friends and many after-school activities. But she’s never forgotten those two dark years, and she hates the idea of other kids going through what she did.
So Natalie came up with an idea that would allow students a judgment-free way to find lunch mates without the fear of being refused. She developed an app called “Sit With Us”, where students can sign up as “ambassadors” and post that there are open seats at their lunch table (When signing up as ambassadors, the students make a promise that they’ll be kind and welcoming to whoever comes to sit with them). A student who doesn’t have a place to sit can look at the app and find an ambassador’s table and know he/she is invited to join it.
“Lunch might seem really small, but I think these are the small steps that make a school more inclusive, ” said Natalie. “It doesn’t seem like you’re asking that much, but, it starts to change the way students think about each other. It makes a huge difference in how they treat each other. ”

How to Make Friends at a New School
　　Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 　1　 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself
　2　 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
　3　
　　Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself
　　A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact with other people. 　4　 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names
　　You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 　5　 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname. You’d be surprised how often this may come in handy.
A. Be friendly to others.
B. Making new friends can be hard, too.
C. Join after-school activities you like.
D. Never change what you are to try and fit in(适应).
E. If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.
F. People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
G. Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种在新学校结交朋友的方法。
1. 【解析】选B。逻辑关系句。根据上文Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. ( 一切似乎都不一样了, 你甚至不知道去哪里上课)以及后文However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends. ( 然而, 如果你运用这些技巧, 你可以很快把一些陌生人变成朋友)可知, 本句起到承上启下的作用, 指出交新朋友也很困难。故B选项“结交新朋友也很难”符合句意。
2. 【解析】选D。细节理解句。由小标题Be yourself(做你自己)以及后文If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. ( 如果有些人不接受你, 他们就不是你需要的那种朋友)可知, 本句是在强调不要为了与他人建立良好关系而改变自己。故D选项“永远不要为了努力适应而改变自己”符合句意。
3. 【解析】选A。主旨大意句。根据后文内容可知记住要对你在新学校遇到的人友善。如果你认为你会说一些让他们感到悲伤的话, 最好不要这么做, 如果他们和你说话, 你只要点头回应他们的话就行了。另外, 记住要尽可能地帮助别人! 由此可知, 本段主要谈的是要对他人友好。故A选项“对他人要友好”符合小标题。
4. 【解析】选E。细节理解句。根据上文Raise your head and make eye contact with other people. (抬起头, 与其他人进行眼神接触)以及后文Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from. (自我介绍。告诉他们你的名字和你来自哪里)由此可知, 本句与上下句一同来说明在交流时一些自信的做法。故E选项“如果你看到你认识的人, 微笑或说‘嗨’”符合句意。
5. 【解析】选F。细节理解句。根据上文You like it when people use your name, and so do other people(你喜欢别人叫你的名字, 其他人也一样)由此可知, 本句是要说明不叫名字的后果。故F选项“如果你每次一开始就说‘喂’, 人们可能会生气。”符合句意。

　　Making friends is a skill like many other skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or joining someone in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to strangers. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fear about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual(共同的)liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.
【语篇概述】本文介绍了交朋友的一些技巧。
1. You can’t make friends if you ______.
A. take some action
B. go to the people
C. wouldn’t like to meet people
D. won’t start a conversation
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第一段第五句“You won’t make friends staying home alone”可知, 如果你不和别人接触, 是交不到朋友的。故选C。
2. Friendship is based on ______.
A. self-confidence and being rich
B. meeting more unknown people
C. more talking and smiling to people
D. taking from and giving to people
【解析】选D。推理判断题。由最后一段中的“friendship is based on mutual liking and‘give and take’”友谊是建立在彼此喜欢、给予与获得的基础之上的。故选D。
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Making friends needs practising.
B. You need to be more active to make friends.
C. When meeting someone, make him feel nice and easy.
D. Before making friends with someone, judge if he is too this or too that.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第一段最后四句可知, 要想和别人交朋友, 就不要总挑别人的毛病, 要尽量使别人感到轻松。故选D。
【技法导练】阅读理解——推理判断题
1. 首先要注意一定要忠实于原文, 以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。立足已知, 推断未知, 遵循“词不离句, 句不离段, 段不离篇”的原则。千万不能主观臆想, 凭空想象, 随意揣测, 更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。
2. 要吃透文章的字面意思, 从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索, 这是推理的前提和基础。有的推断, 考生完全可以根据文章中所阐述的细节, 再结合自己所掌握的基础知识、有关背景知识或常识来帮助进行分析、推敲, 从而得出符合文章原意的结论。
3. 要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工, 由表及里, 由浅入深, 从具体到抽象, 从特殊到一般, 通过分析、综合、判断等, 进行深层处理, 合乎逻辑地推理。不能就事论事, 断章取义, 以偏概全。
4. 要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系, 了解语篇的结构, 同时还要体会文章的基调, 揣摩作者的态度, 摸准逻辑发展方向, 悟出作者的言外之意。
5. 在解答推理性问题时, 一定要注意确定推理依据的位置或范围。应清楚所要解答的问题需要针对某个细节进行推断, 还是针对主题思想、作者的意图进行推断。针对细节的推断可运用scanning的方法, 迅速在材料中确定推理依据的位置或范围, 然后再进行推理判断。针对主题思想作推断时, 则常常要纵览全篇文章。十五　Unit 4　Period 3

A
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文, 主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让作者参演电影时, Paul Newman站出来为作者说话, 两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里, 两人一直相互扶持, 相互鼓励, 因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。

D. The director recommended someone else.
2. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship

　　On a recent afternoon, some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school, Kathleen Rys, 72, and her sister Lorraine O’Kelly, 70, sat down and had a meal with a classmate, Bruce Smit, 71, for the first time.
In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys’ family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.
“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we’d burst into laughter. How rude is that It’s just crazy, ” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.
The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to ourselves, ” Lorraine said.
“Over the years, ”Tammy Smit said, “Bruce would just start to cry at times. He’d wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life. ” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O’Kelly, Lorraine’s daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not well received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some persuasion, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.
Bruce broke into tears. “I’m so ashamed, so embarrassed, ” he said. “But I’m so happy that you’re still here and that I can finally apologize. ” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. It’s just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us. ”

If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual(共同的)liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.

　　It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred(同类的) spirits. “He’s a difficult little character, ” I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. “Maybe you’re only seeing him with your eyes. ” She was silent for a moment and then added softly, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. ” I stared at her. “You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too ”Jennie nodded. “I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it. ”
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. “What he needs is a good beating! ” I shouted.
“He’s probably had plenty of those, ” Jennie said. “Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day. ” I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her have become one of my happiest memories.

　　When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities. As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we make mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.
Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, like cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends are also there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

A
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文, 主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让作者参演电影时, Paul Newman站出来为作者说话, 两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里, 两人一直相互扶持, 相互鼓励, 因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。
1. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first
A. Paul Newman wanted it.
B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough.

3. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Their belief.
B. Their care for children.
C. Their success.
D. Their support for each other.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据“We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back”可知, 我们都有这个信仰: 如果你有幸获得成功, 你应该有所回馈, “he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival”是作者举的例子, 因此“sharing that brought us together”中that指代前面提到的信仰。故选A。
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To show his love of films.
B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie.
D. To share his acting experience.

　　On a recent afternoon, some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school, Kathleen Rys, 72, and her sister Lorraine O’Kelly, 70, sat down and had a meal with a classmate, Bruce Smit, 71, for the first time.
In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys’ family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.
“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we’d burst into laughter. How rude is that It’s just crazy, ” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.
The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to ourselves, ” Lorraine said.
“Over the years, ”Tammy Smit said, “Bruce would just start to cry at times. He’d wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life. ” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O’Kelly, Lorraine’s daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not well received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some persuasion, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.
Bruce broke into tears. “I’m so ashamed, so embarrassed, ” he said. “But I’m so happy that you’re still here and that I can finally apologize. ” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. It’s just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us. ”

At 19, I worked in a doctor’s office as a medical assistant. I was shy, awkward and didn’t have much faith in myself. I was not sure about the future or my place in it.
I met a man there, a physician(医师), and became friends with him. He slowly began building me up, encouraging me to be more confident, to look outside the immediate(目前的)circle of my life and to see a future I could never quite believe.
First he helped me accept myself and see my worth and then he encouraged me to take 1 or 2 college classes. I did well so he pushed a little asking me where I wanted to be in 10 years and what I wanted my life to become. Until he brought it up, I hadn’t thought about it much. I had a job and I was fine. But he made me long for a different world, one with questions waiting to be answered, adventures waiting to be experienced and people waiting to be seen.
I went to college and finally realized my dream of getting accepted into a physician assistant training program. Unfortunately it was very expensive and even with loans. I didn’t have the money to go. My dream was slipping away when this wonderful man took me out after work one evening, bought me a beer and offered to help me pay for my college education. Furthermore, he did it without asking for anything in return.
Years later, I asked him “Why ” He said, “Because I knew you could be more than you were and because once when I wasn’t sure I could succeed and didn’t have the money for school, someone did it for me. ”

A
Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt”intimacy(亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league.
Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favour. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after-school activities.
Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.

Friends are gifts and treasures. When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
　　A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
　　The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong—even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

How to keep a nearly lost friendship alive
There are times when a friendship has to go through huge tests. It is a battle between staying together and moving away from each other. 　1　 More often than not, it is pride that destroys a friendship.
Relax your pride. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. You may ask yourself, “Why should I say sorry when he does not show any regret for what he has done ”　2　 If you find yourself saying any of these things, you should understand that it is your pride talking. Allowing your pride to control your feelings will leave you bitter and confused.
Talk about the problem. Face the problem calmly. 　3　 It may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. If you avoid facing the problem, your pain will only grow. Remember, you want to keep the friendship and not worsen the problem.
Laugh about it. 　4　 After some time, when both of you have become calm and renewed your confidence in each other, go back to the time when you had nearly fallen apart. Laugh about your foolishness, and promise to never let pride take over your friendship.
Friendship is a valuable thing. 　5　 Rapport(融洽的关系)is what creates a friendship. Love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are what lead to a long-lasting friendship.
A. Try to save your friendship.
B. It cannot be bought or demanded.
C. It is often said that laughter is the best medicine.
D. Do not wait for the other person to make the first move.
E. There are many complex reasons why a friendship falls out.
F. Write a letter and read it out loud to the other person.
G. You may also say, “I have not done anything wrong, and I don’t want to say sorry. ”

　　It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred(同类的) spirits. “He’s a difficult little character, ” I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. “Maybe you’re only seeing him with your eyes. ” She was silent for a moment and then added softly, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. ” I stared at her. “You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too ”Jennie nodded. “I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it. ”
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. “What he needs is a good beating! ” I shouted.
“He’s probably had plenty of those, ” Jennie said. “Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day. ” I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her have become one of my happiest memories.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
　　When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities. As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we make mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.
Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, like cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends are also there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

阅读理解
At 19, I worked in a doctor’s office as a medical assistant. I was shy, awkward and didn’t have much faith in myself. I was not sure about the future or my place in it.
I met a man there, a physician(医师), and became friends with him. He slowly began building me up, encouraging me to be more confident, to look outside the immediate(目前的)circle of my life and to see a future I could never quite believe.
First he helped me accept myself and see my worth and then he encouraged me to take 1 or 2 college classes. I did well so he pushed a little asking me where I wanted to be in 10 years and what I wanted my life to become. Until he brought it up, I hadn’t thought about it much. I had a job and I was fine. But he made me long for a different world, one with questions waiting to be answered, adventures waiting to be experienced and people waiting to be seen.
I went to college and finally realized my dream of getting accepted into a physician assistant training program. Unfortunately it was very expensive and even with loans. I didn’t have the money to go. My dream was slipping away when this wonderful man took me out after work one evening, bought me a beer and offered to help me pay for my college education. Furthermore, he did it without asking for anything in return.
Years later, I asked him “Why ” He said, “Because I knew you could be more than you were and because once when I wasn’t sure I could succeed and didn’t have the money for school, someone did it for me. ”

Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt”intimacy(亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league.
Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favour. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after-school activities.
Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.

Friends are gifts and treasures. When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
　　A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.
　　The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong—even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

How to keep a nearly lost friendship alive
There are times when a friendship has to go through huge tests. It is a battle between staying together and moving away from each other. 　1　 More often than not, it is pride that destroys a friendship.
Relax your pride. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. You may ask yourself, “Why should I say sorry when he does not show any regret for what he has done ”　2　 If you find yourself saying any of these things, you should understand that it is your pride talking. Allowing your pride to control your feelings will leave you bitter and confused.
Talk about the problem. Face the problem calmly. 　3　 It may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. If you avoid facing the problem, your pain will only grow. Remember, you want to keep the friendship and not worsen the problem.
Laugh about it. 　4　 After some time, when both of you have become calm and renewed your confidence in each other, go back to the time when you had nearly fallen apart. Laugh about your foolishness, and promise to never let pride take over your friendship.
Friendship is a valuable thing. 　5　 Rapport(融洽的关系)is what creates a friendship. Love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are what lead to a long-lasting friendship.
A. Try to save your friendship.
B. It cannot be bought or demanded.
C. It is often said that laughter is the best medicine.
D. Do not wait for the other person to make the first move.
E. There are many complex reasons why a friendship falls out.
F. Write a letter and read it out loud to the other person.
G. You may also say, “I have not done anything wrong, and I don’t want to say sorry. ”
【语篇概述】当友谊出现问题的时候, 我们得做些什么去维持我们的友谊 这篇文章就这个问题给出了很好的建议。
1. 【解析】选E。很多很复杂的理由造成了好朋友间出现裂痕。通常骄傲是破坏友谊的最主要的原因。故选E。
2. 【解析】选G。后面提到了If you find yourself saying any of these things, things 用的是复数, 说的是几句话, G和上面的内容、结构相符。故选G。
3. 【解析】选F。当出现问题的时候, 要面对它而不是要逃避它。其中一种方法是可以把问题写成信, 读给你的好朋友听。这不是我们常采用的方法, 所以作者接下来说, “It may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. ”, 故选F。
4. 【解析】选C。从语意上看, 这一段主要是讨论了笑对解决问题有什么好处。选项中只有C提到了笑, 故选C。
5. 【解析】选B。友谊是一种珍贵的东西, 既不是买到的也不是强求来的。所以, 要维护好我们的友谊。故选B。

To my best friend Jimmy
Jimmy,
When I read the note you gave me, tears ran down my face. Twenty years is really a long time. A lot of things have changed. And the twenty years have changed me from a good guy into a bad one. The West treated me badly. I was sick and got no jobs. I almost died there. But I am happy now I am at home. I believe I can be a good guy again.
