I hadn’t been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused(注意力集中的)on myself.

After communication, I knew they were Bree, Megan and Avery. Bree and Avery were in environmental science, and Megan was studying math.The following morning, they knocked on my door before breakfast.

Meanwhile, we were able to introduce, each other to new activities. Bree introduced us to cartoons. Joyfully, Megan encouraged us to play tennis.

It doesn’t matter when I shop —I probably won’t buy gifts that people will want anyw ay. I just look at what’s for sale and choose from whateve r is there. I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what lo buy before I get to the shop，and I don’t care about getting it at the best price.Lucy Collins, 34，from LiverpoolI’ve alway s finished all my shopping by the middle of August. I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford them. I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price. This year, I’ve spent £ 230 and saved £ 695 on the prices.I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year. I also like knowing I’ve bought presents that people will enjoy, rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve.Frankie Bircham, 31，from HertfordshireI’ve always finished shopping by the end of September. I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want —I don’t like " Oh, that’ll do". I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I’m getting the best possible deal. It’s cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don’t like when it arrives.Andi Euridge, 40, from LondonI start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November. I don’t like online shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels not arriving in time.I live on a tight budget (预算) and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month’s pay. So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.25. What can we learn from the first paragraph about Sam Martin?A. He is an organized shopper.B. He hates shopping in a hurry.C.

He finally lost his patience when he went to watch Star Wars with many children eating popcorn."The noise is something that’s always bothered me, ever since I was a little kid，" Shotton said. "I’m the kind of person that if I hear something in the background, I focus on that until that’s all I can hear. I was really looking forward to Star Wars. I couldn’t believe the amount of noise during the film — it completely destroyed my viewing."So the 39-year-old started a petition (请愿)on PetitionBuzz. com, hoping to get rid of popcorn from cinemas across the U.K. " I call on you now to stand with me, and tell others that no longer are we prepared to let this destroy our film viewing," he said. "Popcorn is the least proper snack for an environment that requires silence. Cinemas always let us realize we should be quiet during the film and then they sell the loudest food."Unsurprisingly, his petition has only received 126 signatures(签名)so far. In fact, someone started a counter petition in response, arguing that popcorn is an important pail of the cinema experience. However, more people were in support of Shotton, and he actually won by 106 to 92."My next plan is to start a further petition which, if it gets enough signatures，will mean it has to be decided by the government whether i t’ll be forbidden, " he said. " I'm also planning to campaign (领导运动)outside cinemas and explain to people about the petition and trying to encourage them not to buy popcorn when they go into the cinema."It sounds great, but I think people love popcorn too much for this to actually work.29. What did Mike Shotton want to say in Paragraph 4?A. Cinemas should stop their audience from making noises.B. Cinemas should be to blame(负有责任)for the audience’s action.C. Cinemas should make an apology(道歉)to the audience.D. Cinemas should take his experience seriously.30. The underlined word "counter" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced byA. oppositeB. attractiveC. excitingD. meaningful31. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Mike Shotton is faced with various challenges.B. People will be willing to support Mike Shotton.C. Mike Shotton should change people’s attitude first.D. It is foolish of Mike Shotton to challenge the public.DMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the "year off" between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25, 310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. "Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，" he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students ( NUS)，argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship —young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. "New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods," he said.32. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.33. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap yearA. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities34. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed.35. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D. Prepare for their graduate studies.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)When we eat meals quickly, we miss the feeling of satiety (饱足)and we continue eating long before we realize we’re full.
