It is nice to have a friend to always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would 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.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.1．The first paragraph tells us ________.A．what the feeling of having no friends isB．we always need friends around usC．making friends is a need in people’s lifeD．we need to be alone in our life2．Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned (提到) in the passage?A．a town.

She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong.

They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before the 14th century.For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these faraway islands. It was made a British colony in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’land. So in 1844 there was a fighting between them.

In 1840 there were perhaps 200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000.For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. Since last century the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maoris language is one of the languages of the country.
