In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen Listen when they are talking. Dont say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes its not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings. Help them If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you dont do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need. Be there for them Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you cant stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you dont want to stay with your friends when theyre in hard times, then you dont deserve to be with them when theyre having a good time!_ Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And youll remember these things when youre all old!1.

It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?” Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someones attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didnt have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didnt ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didnt catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.8. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?A. It was too informal. B. It was hard to pronounce. C. It was considered to be rude. D. There were other words like “hello”.9. “Hullo” was used to show something _.A. interesting B. exciting C. boring D. unexpected10. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _.A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephoneB. the friendship between Bell and Edison C. the invention of the telephoneD. how the telephone improved11. We can infer from the text that _.A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was invented B. the telephone has changed the way people speakC. people liked simple expressions like “hello”D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”DA new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused a debate (争论) about cultural differences in parenting. Amy Chua is a teacher in an American university and both of her parents are Chinese. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she taught her daughters. She told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters were not allowed to do, such as having a play date, watching TV or playing puter games and getting any grade less than an A.Many people are against Amy Chuas parenting style (风格), even her husband, who is American. They say it is rude and unfair to children. But she says her parents raised her and her three sisters in that way.Ms. Chua says after her younger daughter shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” she decided to retreat because she was afraid of losing her daughter. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their childrens abilities. “The debate is about what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting. She says Amy Chuas parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. It is a tradi-tional way of parenting among immigrants (移民). They hope to get a better future for their children.She also sees a risk (风险). When children have no time to be social or to develop their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised. 12. What do we learn about Amy Chua?A. She has three excellent daughters. B. She moved to the US at a young age. C. Her parents live together with her. D. Her husband dislikes her parenting style.13.

Americans should learn from Amy ChuaC. parents should have their own parenting styleD. Amy Chuas style is bad for childrens growth15. In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage?A. Business.B. Lifestyles.C. Sports.D. Culture.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived.
