“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow,” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my f ront door.“ Thanks.”
“Okay, well, I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you later then.” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said,“ I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.

“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top.”
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me, “You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain.”
This has largely influenced my life. Without such mountaineering opportunities, we wouldn’t have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy himself. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed one of the highest mountains in our country. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the birds’ singing, and the beautiful dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment, I wanted to quit
climbing. Actually, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls, temples and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain. Only there at the top, can you see all of those things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words, but after that, I got new hope and confidence. Finally, I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal.
4. From the passage we know that mountain-climbing was ________ for Father and Son.
A. stressful
B. enjoyable
C. risky
D. challenging
5. What do the father’s words mean in the fourth paragraph?
A. You can get everything you want at the top of the mountain.
B. The sky at the top of the mountain is always as clear as crystal.
C. Enjoy the beautiful life.
D. Never give up halfway.
6. We can infer from the last paragraph that the writer __________.
A. hated climbing mountains when he grew up
B. could understand his father though young
C. became a great success in his life
D. preferred crystal to the whole sky
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Conversations between Father and Son.
B. Happy childhood and mountaineering.
C. The beautiful scenery and crystal.
D. Reaching the top of the mountain.
C
Everyone I talk to seems tired these days. To many people, the idea of exercising when they’re tired just seems beyond them. They just don’t have the energy. Well, I have some good news: A study showed that low levels of exercise can increase energy levels by 20% and decrease tiredness by 65%. This is fantastic.
In the study, 36 people who were not regular exercisers and who reported being tired all the time were divided into three groups. One group did 20 minutes of moderate (适中的) exercise three times a week for six weeks, the second group did low-intensity (剧烈) exercise for the same amount of time and the third group did not exercise any more. Both exercise groups had a 20% increase in energy levels after six weeks. The extra good news was that the researchers found the low-intensity group reported a higher reduction in tiredness than the group working out at a moderate level. In fact, the low-intensity group reported a 65% drop in tiredness compared to a 49% drop in the moderate group while the no-exercise group just stayed the same.
So getting out for just 20 minutes three times a week can really raise your energy level. Try walking, running, or really anything that just gets you moving.
Keep in mind, however, that the study only looks at the tiredness and energy creation benefits of exercise. Other studies suggest that more intense (剧烈的) exercising could have long life and health benefits. But if you are not in the habit of exercising, focus on a low-intensity workout for the first 6 weeks. That should give you the energy you need.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Low-intensity exercise brings less energy.
B. Low-intensity exercise is better than 20 minutes of moderate exercise.
C. The exercisers in the second group were getting more tired.
D. The no-exercise group didn’t get tired at all.
9. If you want to decrease tiredness, you’d better ____.
A. take no exercise
B. do irregular exercise
C. do low-intensity exercise three times a week for six weeks
D. do 20-minute moderate exercise three times a week for six weeks
10. To exercise is ____.
A. to walk, run or ride
B. to move
C. to form the habit of exercising
D. to relax oneself
11. According to the text, feeling tired shows that ____.
A. you are doing too much exercise
B. you take too little exercise
C. you lack energy
D. you work a little longer
D
Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture(文化)the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other u ses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion(困惑)across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places(although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions(情感),but we should not atte mpt to“read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
12. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?
A. Love.
B. Politeness.
C. Joy.
D. Thankfulness.
13.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can.
A. show friendliness to strangers
B. be used to hide true feelings
C. be used in the wrong places
D. show personal habits
14.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
A. Learn about their relations with others.
B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C. Find out about their past experience.
D. Figure out what they will do next.
15.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Cultural Differences
B. Smiles and Relationships
C. Facial Expressiveness
D. Habits and Emotions

Every day in my way to the coffee shop across the street, I see a homeless boy calling Rick. He sits there with a sign asking for anything which would help. He always has the warm smile for anyone who bothers to stop and say hello. There are a lot homeless people in my city, young and old. I recognize how luck I am to live a good life. Therefore, today I finally stopped and meet Rick. When I came out of the coffee shop, I was treated him to a sandwich and a cup of coffee.

Dear John，
I know that your roommate points out faults in you all the time from your letter.
As we know, getting on well with our roommates is very important. The good
relationship between roommates makes us feel relaxed, which has a great effect on
our study.
As for dealing with the “ shortcomings “ your roommate has pointed out, if you
do have the shortcomings, you should thank him, and then correct them. What he says
may help you do better in the future. If his advice doesn’t sound reasonable, you
just ignore it instead of quarrelling with him, In addition, to maintain a good
relationship with your roommate, you’d better communicate with him frequently.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
