or I m worried about an exam I just take a look at it It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school It reminds me of the good time we ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today Even though our lives have gone in different directions the bond we created has kept us close Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them or a letter in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos I often get e mail with a joke for the day or words of comfort about some problems in my life My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences and has enriched the good ones It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements changes and separation 1 C 2 A 3 D 4 B 5 B P41 Task 2 How to build lifelong friendship You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime However lifelong friendships are not always what everybody can get Friends sometimes misunderstand each other For one thing you may want your friends to be near at hand but also you need your independence and privacy For example when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house sometimes you just say no to he or her because it is not convenient for you Unfortunately not all your friends understand this type of independence They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be yes Also misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help You expect your friends 3 to help you no matter what the circumstances are But the fact is your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other 1 T 2 F 3 F 4 T 5 T P45 Task 1 Weather Forecasting We all know that it s not possible for man to control the weather But we can tell what important changes there will be in the weather in the short term This is called weather forecasting Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains For example if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near this is a sign of much water vapor in the air and then rain will probably come If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning then the day will be warm If the sunset is mostly red in color then the following day will be fine If the stars twinkle at night then fine weather will come the next day 1 B 2 D 3 C 4 A 5 D P54 Task 2 Mental Energy and Season You may not believe that our mental energy
