It is often heard that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child. But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996. For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They dont have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to theage of 18 reaches around $160,000.28. According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely? A. Because his parents dont love him. B. Because he doesnt have holidays. C. Because he doesnt have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with. D. Because there are other children in the family.29. What does the underlined word “overwhelming”mean in the last paragraph? A. 压倒一切的 B. 宽松的 C. 流行的 D. 充足的30.Why dont parents choose to have a second child? A. The cost of supporting a child is so high. B. Parents are too busy working every day to share their time and energy with more children. C. Some parents cant still get their first childs agreement.D. Both A and B. CAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming(克服)difficulties and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew.Never once did he complain or ask,“Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You won that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.” Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew31.

Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.Luckily, Dans large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons rooms.“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mothers arms.“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.”Some years later, Rover came to Maggies home with a little note, in which was written“Will Maggie help Rover?his master is dead.”34.

A lot of people would backstab(背后伤人). Some make friends just to use them. Others promise to be your friends but they are never there when you need them the most. They appear only when they need something from you.Once you find a friend who is worth keeping, make sure to take care of what you have with that person. How? Here are some tips on how to make friendship last forever:1. Call for no reason. Call just to say “Hi” or just to ask “Whats up?” You dont need a huge or an important reason to call a friend. If you cant call, just send an e-mail. This would send a message that you remember your friends at any time of the day.2. Know when to say Im sorry and thank you. Dont let pride get in the way, especially when you are wrong. The word “sorry” already has saved a lot of friendships. Show praise for the things, big or little, which your friend does for you. Did she listen to you when you were complaining about that physics exam? Did he offer his shoulders for you to cry on when somebody broke your heart? Say thank you. Its that easy.3. Avoid hurtful words. If you have nothing good to say, dont talk at all. Dont hurt your friends feelings by saying hurtful words that, most of the time, you dont really mean. If youre a true friend, you will be careful with your words.4. Dont lie to a friend.
