This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years. To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup ,children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture called “Dream(梦幻) World Cups ”in Japan .The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags(旗帜)of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama .Some football teams will have games there.Are you a football fan(迷)？The World Cup makeds more and more people interested in football Teenagers(青少年)like playing and watching football .Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favourite players on the walls of their rooms.

No one can live alone in the world without friends. I think it’s easy to make friends with people and build a friendship between each other. However, I think it is not easy to get a true friendship.So what is true friendship? In my opinion, a true friendship includes four aspects(方面).First of all , a true friendship requires people to treat their friends truthfully and believe each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of your friends nor try to cheat them. For example, some people make friends in order to get money and emotion, or obtain(获取) a certain secret and so on. I think these are not true friendships.Second, true friends must try their best to help each other. For instance , a true friend will use personal connections to help a friend get something hard to obtain such as a job, an appointment with a good doctor, an easier path through an official procedure(步骤) or an introduction to another person who might also be able to give help. If a friend is indeed in need of money to escape from some trouble or buy some necessary things, true friends might give him money and help him out financially over a long period of time.Thirdly, friends must share their happiness and sadness as well. One of the greatest men once said, “If you tell your happiness to you r friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friends. You will get half sadness.” It is true.A true friend will give you comfort and emotional support when you are sad.Fourth, a true friendship is a relationship that endures (经得起) changes in the lives of the friends. People expect their friendship to stay the same over a long period of time maybe for a lifetime, no matter where they are.In a word, a true friendship must depend on people to believe each other , help each other, and share their happiness and sadness with each other.25. According to the writer, .A. it is not easy to make friendsB. when one is friendly to you, he will be your friendC. true friends are hard to findD. a friend can help you with everything26. From this text, we know that .A. money plays the key role in making friendsB. a true friend must last for a lifetimeC. friends cannot depend on each other on money matters.D. friends should help each other out of troubles.27. The titl e of this text is probably “”.A. Be Careful with Making Friends!B. Cheat! Cheat! Another Cheat!C. Money or Friend?D. True FriendshipCA great earthquake happened in southwestern China on May 12, 2008, killing thousands of people. The quake struck Wenchuan and other parts of Sichuan Province in the middle of the afternoon and a number of school buildings, shops and homes were destroyed. The number of the dead and missing rose as rescue workers dug through flattened (夷为平地的) schools and homes to find survivors. It was reported that many people were still buried under the ruins in and around Mianyang, a city about 60 miles east of the epicenter(震中). People there spent a second night sleeping outside in the rain. The government ordered people not to return to their homes for safety concerns. Few lights were on in the city, and people ate and chatted by candlelight.Rescue teams brought people to Mianyang’s stadium for food and shelter. Outside the railway station, the police shouted in megaphones (扩音器) telling people where they could get free food. Buses carrying survivors left Beichuan, which is in the northeast ofthe epicenter and was also flattened by the quake. 1,000 students and teachers were killed or missing at a fallen high school in Beichuan County. At another school in the town of Juyuan, 900 students were buried under the ruins. There was little hope that many survivors would be found under the rubble. But officials asked the people not to give up hope. 20,000 soldiers arrived in the disaster area with 30,000 more on the way by plane, train and truck and even on foot.Thirty-one British tourists who were panda-watching in Wolong National Nature Reserve were safe.
