    A high school history teacher once told us, "If you make one close friend in school, you will be the most lucky. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life." Experience teaches that he is right. 1.

To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kinds of friendship we want. You may ask yourself the following questions.2. Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on surface?

For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough and that's all right.3. It's whether or not our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. If so, the sharing of personal experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships.

4. The greatest is to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships take time. Another "main difficulty" is the selfishness(自我中心;任性)to think one "possesses(控制)" the other, including his time and attention. In fact, friendships require actions in return.5. Finally, there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die away.

C.Are they to be close or kept at arm's length?

    They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.

Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.

But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.

So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.

Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.

Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.

1.Which of the following best describes Xu's mother?

A.Strict but interesting. B.Supportive and open-minded.

C.Helpful and hardworking. D.Kind but uneducated.

2.Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.

A.it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people

B.it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time

C.it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail

D.it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in

3.What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?

A.It was the first travel book ever written in China.

B.It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.

C.It was mainly about the different people of China.

D.It was only made public after Xu died.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Xu Xiake's Life Story B.Xu Xiake's Discovery

C.Xu Xiake's Travelling Experience D.Xu Xiake's Book

5.What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?

a. He went on his first journey.

b. His book was finally printed.

c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.

d. He developed an interest in books about other places.

e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.

A.a-e-d-c-b B.d-e-a-b-c C.d-e-a-c-b D.e-d-a-b-c

    The students have given Miss Chan the following:

Passage 1  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and the Caterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her change in size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens to see a trial (审判). The Knave of Hearts is accused (指控) of stealing the Queen of Hearts' pie, while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry with Alice and orders her men to kill Alice. In the end, Alice grows to a huge size and knocks over the playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream.

The classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, an English author, was fantastic. It took you to a world of fantasy. The storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

Passage 2  The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz. Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin Woodman who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who wants a brain and the Cowardly Lion who wants courage, journeys in search of the wizard (巫师) in order to return home. After facing many difficulties they successfully meet the Great Oz, who in fact is not a wizard. However, the old man gives the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust, and the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage. In the end, Dorothy finally gets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to see she is safe.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyable American classic. What I loved most were Dorothy's friends, who were always there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you have not read it, why don't you give yourself a treat?

    Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world. 29 billion bottles of water are drunk each year. It takes 17 million barrels of oil to make these bottles. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.

So why don't more people drink water from the tap in the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that's not true. In the United States, the government makes sure water from the tap is safe.

People love bottled water because it is convenient to take with them. But maybe if they understand the problems it makes, they will try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable bottle instead of a plastic one. Although plastic water bottles can be turned into some other useful things, only a small number of them are reused. The rest are taken away in rubbish trucks, or even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take hundreds of years to break down.

Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use plastic water bottles, and see if you can make a change. If you take one to school, don't throw it away — bring it home and put tap water in it for the next day.

1.Americans buy the most bottled water in the world.

2.The United Nations makes sure water out of the tap is safe.

3.Plastic water bottles we use cause serious pollution.

4.It takes a hundred years to make plastic water bottles break down.

5.We should use a plastic water bottle as many as possible before throwing it away.
