teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. they believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well as their friends do. in large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. it is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. this communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.however, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. the question of “choice” is an interesting one. have you ever thought of the following questions?who choose your friends?do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?have

janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛) by talking. i try to listen politely, but usually im too busy thinking about my day. on this day, however, her talk was worth listening to. my fathers ill, she said to no one in particular (特别地). i could see worry in her eyes. i had never seen her like this before. she always meets students with a smile. with a sudden chance of interest, i asked, whats wrong with him? with her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, heart trouble. her eyes lowered as she continued, ive already lost my mum, so i dont think i can stand losing him. i couldnt answer. my heart ached for her. i sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. i saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. i wouldnt want anyone to go through that. suddenly i realized janie wasnt only a bus driver, which was just her job. she had a whole world of family and cares too. i shouldnt have been so selfish. i paid no attention to janie because she was a bus driver. i had judged (判断) her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant. i shouldnt have been so selfish and self-centered. understanding people is an art. 41when the students get on the school bus, janie usually_. a. listens to musicb. talks about her own worry c. sits on her seat without wordsd. meets them with a

tell us that_. a. losing parents makes people sad and helpless b. understanding the people around us takes time c. we should learn to understand the people around usd. its not right to judge the people around us by their clothes c the most important festival in china is the spring festival, which comes from an activity known as the winter sacrifice (冬季祭牲 ). as the cold winter began to end and the warm spring was about to begin, people gathered together. they brought out what they had got from hunting, fishing and the field to thank the gods and their ancestors. in the beginning, their activity had no fixed date. by and by it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new year. finally, it became a festival to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year. so it came to be called the spring festival.since the spring festival marks the first day of a new year, the first meal is rather important. people from north and south have different sayings about the food they eat on this special day. in northern china, people usually eat jiaozi. its chinese pronunciation jiaozi means the end and the beginning of time. according to historical records, people from north and south ate jiaozi on chinese new years day. perhaps because southern china produced more rice than any other area, slowly, southern people had many more other choices on new years day. besides, the most common foods for the first meal are noodles, new year cake, tangyuan. the noodle symbolizes long life. the new year cake is called niangao in chinese, which carries the hope of improvement in life year after year. tangyuan is a symbol of reunion. to pay a new year visit is an important activity during the spring festival. people also send cards to express a new years greeting. what children love most is to set off firecrackers (鞭炮). however, as life pace is becoming faster and faster, people now have taken up new ways to celebrate the chinese traditional new year. for example, many people no longer send out greeting cards. instead, they use telephones or e-mails. to travel during the new year holidays is another fashion. 45the underlined word “fashion” most probably means _ . a. the style of dressing that is considered best b. the popular way people do something c. custom and rule d. hobby and joy 46the spring festival came from the activities held _ . a. as an expression of thanks to the gods and ancestors。 b. to say good-bye to the past yearc. to show off what they had harvest d. as a way to welcome the new year47which of the following statements about the food eaten on new years day is correct? a. people in southern china used to eat different food from those in northern china. b. southern people eat noodles because wheat is mainly produced in the area c. many more kinds of food can be made from wheat d. by eating spring festival foods, people still wish for wealth, health and union as they used to48what can be learned from the passage? a. what people do in celebration of the spring festival has changed with the time b. people celebrate the spring festival faster than before, as they live a busy life c. most of the customs for the spring festival have disappeared d. as people get richer and richer, they dont enjoy keeping the spring festival so much as they used todas you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. it is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. you almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. they feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family . many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. six percent of workers in britain took the decision to downshift last year. one couple who downshifted is daniel and liz. they used to work in central london. he was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. they would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny（保姆）. most evenings daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to new york for meetings. they both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of wales. “i always wanted to have a farm here,” says daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. we have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. however, i think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.” liz, however, is not quite sure. “i used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. im not really a country girl, but i suppose im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. one thing i do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. my advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”49what do the first two paragraphs tell us? apeople seldom work long hours to make money. bpeople hardly buy more things than necessary. cpeople are sure everything they own is in the right place. dpeople realize there is more to life than just making money.50when daniel was a reporter he . alived in central london bdisliked his job cmissed his children dwas well paid51daniel and liz both agree that the move to the farm . awas easy to organize bhas improved family life cwas extremely expensive dhas been a total success52the underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means . arepairing your car by yourself bspending money carefully cmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life dliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week epeople fell in love with elizabeth taylor in 1944, when she starred in national velvet-the story of velvet brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race, at first, the producers of the movie told taylor that she was too small to play the part of velvet. however, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trainedand added three inches(英寸) to her height in four months! her acting in national velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.elizabeth taylor was born in london in 1932. her parents, both americans, had moved there for business reasons.
