Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules:be honest;be generous;be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts.Friends must be able to trust one another.If you do not tell the truth,people usually find out.If a friend finds out that you havent been honest,you may lose friends trust.Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow.You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes.Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling.These can be very valuable to a friend.They tell your friend what is important to you.By sharing them,you help your friend know better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a problem.Something may go wrong at school.Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve.Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem.So to be a friend you must listen and understand.You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike.But all true friendships have three things in common.If you plan to keep your friends,you must practice honesty,generosity,and understanding.1.Some friendships dont last very long because _.

They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes. Its uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence(自信). Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Dont be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.1.Whats the best topic for the passage?A.How to speak to foreignersB.How to study English wellC.How to organize the idea in EnglishD.Practise speaking English all the time2.Many Chinese students can write English very well,but they cannot speak English freely because_.A.they seldom meet foreignersB.they seldom practise speaking EnglishC.they had no chance to speak EnglishD.they think its enough to master the basic language structure3.So many Chinese students are afraid to speak to foreigners because _.A.they are afraid they cant understand foreignersB.they dont think their English is poorC.they worry about making mistakes in their speakingD.they didnt like speaking to foreigners4.According to the passenger,which of the following is NOT true?A.We can speak English fluently by doing more speaking.B.If you can write English perfectly,you are able to organize your idea in English.C.If you can write good English composition,you can speak English very well.D.Many Chinese students cant speak English freely because they are afraid of making mistakes.5.In the last paragraph,the expression “get rid of” means _.A.throw away B.set free C.give up D.do with CThe Origin of Words About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people.Many of these words are technical words.When there is a new invention of discovery,a new word may be coined(杜撰) after the inventor or scientist. It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people.Lord Sandwich,who lived from 1718-1792,used to sit at the gambling(赌博) table eating bread with meat in between.As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way,his friend began to call the bread “sandwich” for fun.Later on the word became part of the English language. The word “boycott” means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something.It comes from a man called Captain Boycott.He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland.But the Captain was a very harsh(苛刻的) man. He treated his poor tenants (佃户) very badly.His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed.The word “boycott” became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.1.A few hundred _ come from the names of people.

Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.1)“Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go the same shop again.2) “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3) “Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. When too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4) “To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5) “Dont be a dog in a manger( 槽 )”means“ Dont be selfish.” In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does want to eat the lay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6) “He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7) “He who pays the piper calls the tune.” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried
