There is an old saying “Friends are Gods way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a Good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling ; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.

It can clean the air in an area the size of a soccer field in 36 hours. Beijing has been testing the tower since January. But some experts dont think this tower can truly work. Its more of an art piece to raise peoples awareness(意识) of air protection, they said. People will know if the tower works when the results come out.TeensThe Worlds Worst Traffic If we travel in big cities, its very likely that we will come across traffic jams, which often make us complain. But people in Bangkok, Thailand, have more to complain about. This is because Bangkok has the worst evening rush hour traffic in the world, according to a GPS company in Europe. Each year, the company will work out a list of the worlds most congested(拥堵的) cities. The results are based on statistics(数据) of 390 cities across the world.

Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant(不相干的), unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, and death. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely to bum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy a life of wealth and fame.However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines(定义)popularity as: TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people This sounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as burn books” or three-way phone calls in Mean Girls.In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are more likely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lack of understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, we recognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked, greatly admired by their peers(同伴).Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction(推论)method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very small slip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results.We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantly emphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The characters most noticeable characteristic (in our minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seen in a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popular people, but bullies.So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyone and treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not a curse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with great power comes a large electricity bill!（1）The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to _. A . bring up his opinionB . give an exampleC . come to a conclusionD . offer his suggestion（2）What can we learn from the passage? A . Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.B . Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.C . Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.D . The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.（3）Paragraph 4 and 5 are mainly about _. A . the importance of being admired by peersB . the ways to clear up some misunderstandingC . the advantages and disadvantages of being popularD . the reasons why people show hatred to being popular（4）The writer probably agrees that _. A . cheerleader types will surely end up as nobodyB . being popular is unnecessary for most studentsC . treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular peopleD . famous people are likely to make mistakes and be criticized五、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)19. （5分）阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。People visit other countries for many reasons.

So prepare for your trip in advance（预先）.As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the fight paperwork.
