their time worrying about who likes who and different relationships between their classmates I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports When I was young my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in order to build strong relationships But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend It s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex In my opinion even though some high school relationships might continue after graduation the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is no point in beginning them Firstly you have to think about such a question whether it is possible to hurt both of you or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow Except these there really is not any other reason for dating Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic While these are nice to have there are many more important things at this point in our lives The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students Just staying common friends may be the best choice for us I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers advice if necessary 36 The author writes this passage probably for to read A high school students B school teachers C parents and teachers D married couples 37 Between the opposite sexes the relationship of being good friends might be than that of being boy girl friends A weaker B safer C slimmer D stronger 38 How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students A Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic B Studying is far more important than dating in school C In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage D Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family 39 The underlined word it in the last paragraph might refer to A the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school B advice given by both teachers and parents C the pressure from school lessons and sports D the relationship between students of opposite sexes B Dear Mr Black I used to have a really good group of friends Now they re all getting into smoking and drinking I want to find a new group of friends but I m shy How can I know who are the types of people I should make friends with and who will accept me Yours Mike Dear Mike You ve already made a very important step because you ve realized that it s time to find new friends Making and keeping good friends is a challenge for all of us whether you are shy or not Since you ve done this successfully before one thing is to think back on how you developed friendships in the past Probably the best way to make and keep friends is to find others who share your interests Lasting friendships often develop between people who enjoy the same activities You also want to be with friends who share your values and goals for life It just depends on what your own interests are That old saying is also true the best way to have a friend is to be a friend Reach out to the others who share your interests sit with them at lunch invite them to join you in the activities you all like listen to their thoughts and tell them yours Being a real friend takes time and effort With time and effort I m sure you will find some very good friends during your school years and you ll always be in touch after leaving school Yours Tom Black 40 Mike wrote the letter to A ask Mr Black why people don t like him B ask Mr Black why his old friends left him C ask Mr Black to introduce some friends to him D ask Mr Black for some advice on making friends 41 In Mr Black s opinion making and keeping friends is A not so

new home in Tucson Arizona He moved there a few years ago and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends My earliest memories of my father are of a tall handsome successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children As a child I loved him as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as successful as he was Whenever I went out with him on weekends I used to struggle to think up things to say feeling on guard On the first day of my visit we went out with one of my father s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe We walked along that afternoon did some shopping ate on the street table and laughed over my son s funny facial expressions Gone was my father s critical 挑剔的 air and strict rules Who was this person I knew as my father who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood Although our times together became easier over the years I never felt closer to him at that moment After so many years I m at last seeing another side of my father And in so doing I m delighted with my new friend My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was 44 Why did the

You re nervous and that s okay Everyone is afraid of high school I denied it I wanted to be strong so I refused to let anyone know about my fear even my closest friends On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn t figure out Was this how the whole year was going to be I didn t think I could rise to this challenge especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift It was so big that I could knock someone out with it The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool and they were probably right Despite my fears after the first week I finally had my schedule 课程表 figured out With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at high school was turning out to be not so bad It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging Since then I ve been elected vice president of my class which wasn t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions It is normal to be scared about a new school Take a deep breath and relax High school is something that any student can overcome Make sure you participate in some out of class activities because you ll find it easier to make friends Try to do your best even if it isn t straight A s Most important of all be who you are whether you re a fool an athlete or a lower grader Don t try to

the climb Corbett took the lead hit in the metal spikes 尖状物 that guided the ropes and climbed up Then after Wellman pulled himself up the rope Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again This process was repeated time and again inch by inch for 13 days Wellman s job was not easy either He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone In all Wellman figured that he had done 5 000 pull ups up the rope on the climb However when the two men first met they never talked about climbing He knew that was how I got injured Wellman said Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth At one point pieces of rock gave way and Corbett dropped down quickly Wellman locked their rope in place
