country came to dance on sunday.“it was excellent. everyone there just had a great time，” pegnataro said.“those that came guessed it might be their last one.”pegnataro said he was_on_cloud_nine to bring his wife of 53 years back to the party，and he introduced her to each of his classmates.“everyone was very excited at the party. though we had been separated for so many years，the war brought my class closer together，” he said.“we missed out on the party that we should have had. and the 70th reunion was a very important event in our live” pegnataro said.“we all made it.”1when pearl harbor was

something to help other people who are less fortunate and help us grow at the same time. after we decided that we would volunteer in nepal，i did some research on the internet and i found volunteer nepal and felt strongly that it was the right choice for us.while making our plans，jason and i realized that others might like the opportunity to be a part of our experience. so before leaving for nepal，we asked the people we know whether they would be interested in donating (捐赠) cash or goods to nepal orphans(孤儿) home.one friend，whose family owns a chain called drake supermarket，told others about it. his effort paid off. we received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods，toys，coloring books，pencils，childrens books，and more. the boxes were later taken to drakes warehouse where i prepared them for shipment. drake agreed to ship them to nepal for free.the boxes had arrived at the volunteer house when we arrived there. the next day，jason and i unpacked the boxes. the children from the orphanages lined up and were able to choose a gift. this process took about an hour，but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.we visited the orphanages there in the following days. being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful. im sure that anyone who has volunteered will understand what i mean by that. my experience as a volunteer was very rewarding(有益的)it has changed me as a person and the way i viewed life in the past.5the writer did some research on the internet probably to _aget in

writer thinks that his experience as a volunteer was _auseless bhelpfulcboring ddisappointingcpeople all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. youve made friends since childhood，but you still dont know who your true friends are. here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.always honesthonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. a true friend always tells you the truth. it may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. it is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.always listeningthere are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. a true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice. it may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. you also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she cant always listen immediately to your problems.always respectful(尊敬的)a true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.always understandingit is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. a true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的)and understanding，even if it isnt his/her fault. we are all different people and we all make mistakes. a true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesnt want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.9whats the best title for the third paragraph?aalways there for you.bkeep your secrets.calways happy for you.dremember your important days.10which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?anever tell lies to friends.bmaking time for friends.csharing fun with

experience in making friends.dto tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.dmany people turn to doctors or selfhelp books，but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illnesses：their friends.researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. a 10year australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. a large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk (危险) for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. and last year，harvard researchers reported that strong social ties (关系) could improve brain health as we age.“in general，the role of friendship in our lives isnt well realized，” said rebecca，a professor at the university of north carolina.“friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”while many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women，some research shows that it can do good to men，too. in a sixyear study of 736 middleaged men，having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. only smoking was as important a risk factor (因素) as having little social support.the exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isnt entirely clear. while friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine，the advantages go well beyond physical help. friendship clearly has a big psychological effect.“people with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said karen，a doctor.“the message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”12the three studies in paragraph 2 show that _aold people need friends the mostbfriends can help us lose weightcsocial ties
