If theres a broken friendship youd like to mend, try the following advice. Give your friend the benefit of trust. Its easy to assume the worst. But if a friend has hurt you, he may not even realize hes done so. Its probably true that if someone hurts you, they should have known it better. But the fact is that we are all human and we mess things up. You need to give people the benefit of trustt because you will need that, as well. Take the initiative to communicate with your friend.If youve been hurt, your instinct (本能) is probably to pull away and protect yourself. But if you do this, the friendship will likely die. You need to reach out, says 20-year-old Jamie, who has restored several broken friendships, Friendships get broken when trust is lost. Both friends need to reach out and demonstrate they are trustworthy. Be the first to apologize. Even if you were hurt, apologize for anything you did wrong. Give up your right to be proven right. Otherwise the conflict wont be forgotten, as it should be. Walk through the conflict together. Start by trying to see things from your friends point of view. Talk about the problems openly but kindly. At first, Jessica didnt understand why Joyce stopped talking to her. Joyce finally explained that Jessicas teasing (取笑) annoyed her. I finally found out she was angry because I teased her in front of the boys in our class. Jessica explained. Jessica meant nothing by her teasing and thought it shouldnt bother Joyce. But when she accepted that it was embarrassing to Joyce, she stopped. Then their friendship could heal. Accept the fact that friendship may change.Nicole and Michelle had been best friends since preschool. But in college, Michelle suddenly pulled away. We didnt talk to each other for a while, then tried to reconcile, Nicole says, But were just polite acquaintances now. Its normal for friendships to change. Often two friends just drift apart. Problems come when one friend tries to hang on while the other friend lets go. If your friend isnt willing to work things out, accept it and move on. But if you are able to reconcile, youll have a friendship thats tried-and-true! 56 Why did Joyce stop talking to Jessica?A. Because Joyce didnt understand Jessica.B. Because what Joyce did was embarrassing to Jessica.C. Because Jessica laughed at Joyce in front of the boys in their class.D. Because Joyce always made fun of Jessica in front of the boys.57 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. We should never give people the benefit of trust for they hurt us badly.B. Only one part needs to show trust when there is a broken friendship.C. Its unacceptable for friendships to change, for its not normal. D. You should be the first to apologize for anything you did wrong.BTeenagers in America know that theyll possibly need technical skills to find good jobs, but a new survey shows that interest in technology-related careers may be decreasing. The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math -or STEM -careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at II percent.But the 1, 000 survey participants(参与者) still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.Kids don t understand how technology can be applied to careers in addition to computers, and maybe robotics, said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting（航空资询公司）“Thats all they know，so they cant really translate that interest to career pathways. When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured (以为专题 )the pilots from World War II. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. Immediately that was the career for me. she said.Women remain outnumbered(超过) by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls interest in STEM careers is concerning.Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in running after careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls interest in STEM, I dont think we really talk that much about how we improve peoples lives through STEM, Grocholski said.Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering as an example of a career that will continue to be important.However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging.The second skill they said they need is relationship-building.Thats going to be the new type of engineers, Latham said.58. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some successful of kids searching tech careers.B. Reasons behind teenagers decreasing interest in tech careers.C. The difference in choice of jobs between boys and girls in America.D. The popularity of tech careers among kids and its reasons.59. What is the reason behind kids losing interest in tech careers?A. They see tech careers as boring.B. They find tech skills less important than before.C. They don t think tech careers can bring rewardsD. They cant connect their tech interest with future careers.60. What can we learn from Grocholskis words?A. STEM careers have nothing to do with people s lives.B. Teenage girls are interested in running after STEM careers.C. The relationship between STEM careers and improvement of peoples lives isnt explained enough.D. Teenagers don t know how to improve peoples lives through STEM.61. What got Holmes interest in her career?A. A summer camp for pilots. B. Her parents wish for her.C. A report about the life of pilots D. Her flight experience with a pilot.CWhen I was eight, I got my first pair of glasses. Far from being made fun of at school, the only struggle I got was endless requests to try on my new glasses. Hearing about what happened at school, my father once looked at me asking whether I pretended to be the blindness just to look like Harry Potter?With my strange hair and glasses, I did nothing to avoid it, either. The Harry Potter books were the great pop cultural event of my generation, who began reading again. My school librarian, both confused and annoyed by us Potter fans, dealt with fights over the schools few old copies by setting a new rule: Harry Potter could be borrowed for only three days, instead of the whole week of borrowing period every other title was allowed.In the 20 years since the first book arrived on shelves, publishers and parents have been asking what has made J.K. Rowlings books so loved. It is better to look at the influence they have had on their readers. Yes, the books were about a boy taking on a dark and powerful enemy in the magical world, but they were also about love defeating hate, determination and choosing between what is easy and what is right. Rowlings entire magical characters were all people we want to be.I grew up with Harry and together we became children with our own opinions, teens easy to get angry and young adults thinking of everything as normal. When the final book came out in 2007.I read it for 12 hours without a break and cried as I finished it. I felt something sad: the end of Harrys story signaled the end of my childhood. I was suddenly aimless. Meanwhile, my now Potter-mad father walked impatiently nearby, waiting for the proper moment to take the book away from his daughter.Harry Potter did shape my generation. As a girl who grew up mostly in peacetime, many of the ideas I found in these books were ones we had never come across before. The magical worlds terrible treatment of non-human beings was the first description of slavery I knew. The treatment of Harrys teacher Remus Lupin, who hides his condition at work, is a metaphor(比喻) for the shame surrounding those who suffer from AIDS. And all settings like this may have real-world reflections .A study found that teenage Harry Potter readers showed more tolerance (包容) towards those who were suffering. Is it possible that Jeremy Corbyns popularity among the young had anything to do with their literary education? Is it possible that Harry Potter, in the 20 years he has been with us, has inspired a generation to be more empathetic（感同身受）， welcoming and socially open minded than those before i
