The best part of it all was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates among everyone equally 24 giving extra chocolates to a woman who has a 5-year-old son .

For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Dont let jealousy spoil your relationships. Tackle it head-on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship youll have to do just that. Dont approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that youve been feeling like theres been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesnt get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Dont limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you cant, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you wont.31. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is_.A. normal B. productive C. destructive D. extreme32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to confront your friend when jealousy happens?A. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her why he/she is jealous of you.B. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her what the problem is.C. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know how you feel.D. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know you think theres something between you.33. The underlined “it” in the first paragraph refers to_.A. friendship B. relationship C. admiration D. jealousy34. The purpose of the passage is_.A. to explain what causes jealousyB. to offer some advice on making friendsC. to introduce the way to cope with a jealous friendD. to explain how destructive the jealous emotion isBA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives. Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites. They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life. They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world. 35. The authors attitude towards weboholism is that of being_. A. optimistic B. positive C. oppositive D. acceptable36. The main idea of the passage is about_. A. the cause of weboholism B. the advantage of weboholismC. the popularity of weboholism D. the influence of weboholism37. The underlined word “obsessional” in the second paragraph most probably means “_”. A. attractive B. addictive C. professional D. potential38. We can infer from the passage that_. A. weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagersB. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifeC. people are addicted to games on the InternetD. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anywayC What is life? Whats the truth of our life? We usually dont realize what we have got until we really lose it; we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives, either. It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content with the fact that it has grown in yours. Do not rely on ones appearance; it can deceive you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who try, and those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.39. If you put yourself in another persons position, _. A. you should depend on your imagination B. you should put on other peoples shoes C. you shouldnt do what will hurt other people D. you should believe in other people40.

It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be tricked.41. In the last paragraph the writer actually tells us that a person in the world should be one who _. A. does good for other people and is respected and loved by themB. can live happily and forget the pastC. has made a lot of money for himself before he diesD. can accept the suggestions made by others42.

To convince readers into trying French food and wineE Human beings have spread to every continent, sometimes driving other animal species to extinction (灭绝) in the processIt has become the most widely spread species on the planet, occupying mountains and valleys, deserts and jungles, shorelines and islands, yet always finding some good means of living in these widely differing environments. The total weight of all living members of the species is far heavier than that of any other animal, and the human population is now growing so rapidly that it will double within the next thirty-five yearsWhat accounts for the success of our species? The answer, in a word, is culture. We create culture, but culture in turn creates usWe are consequently no longer the victims of the environmentWe make our own social environment, inventing and sharing the rules and patterns of behaviour that shape our lives and we use our learned knowledge to make the natural environment more suitable to live in. Our shared culture is what makes social life possible. Without a culture transmitted (传承) from the past, each new generation would have to solve the most basic problems of human existence over again. It would have to think up a family system, to invent a language, to discover fire , to create the wheel, and so on. Culture frees us from relying on the slow and accidental process of physical evolution(进化)by offering us a new, purposive , efficient means of adapting to changing conditions. If we waited for natural selection to enable us to live at the North Pole, to fly to the moon, or to live under the sea , we would wait forever. Unlike other animals, we can self-consciously adapt to our environments and can adapt environments to meet our own needs.47The writers purpose in the first paragraph is to show _.A. how crowded our planet is B. how successful human beings areC. that human population is now
