A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5% discount (折扣) if they don't check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said he hopes it gives people a way to enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk,
to laugh, and to do things with. Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get on well. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up(和解) and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much, but we can call them and write to them. It could be that we couldn't even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There's good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? The reason could be that they are happier. Being happy helps them stay well. Or the reason could be that they know that someone cares them. If someone cares about you, you would also take good care of yourself.
（1）From the first paragraph(段落)we can know that__________.
A . we should make more and more friends

14. （10分） As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s bigge st challenge.
You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

“My biggest need is my friends. Without them, I wouldn't do much,” said Adrian Fernandez, a 14-year-old boy.
With others, food always comes first.
“I do not think that I could live without chili con carne (辣子肉丁). I eat it every day. And if I didn’t have it, it’s all I would think about,” said Max Wu, an 8th-grade boy.
