Friends are gifts and treasures. When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want — an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t’ let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong — even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

The ways of narration (讲述) in novels are various. Wuthering Heights has a difficult narrative structure. The story begins in 1801. It is first narrated by Lockwood, a visitor staying in Thrushcross Grange, one of the two houses, where we can meet different characters in the novel. Lockwood is a narrow, dull man and also a bad man who lives emotionally through a dirty interest in the lives of others. It is this side of his character that leads into the main narrative stream of the novel. His interest in what he sees and experiences on his visits to Wuthering Heights leads him to encourage Nelly Dean, the house-keeper at the Grange, to provide him with the information concerning the people that he has met: Heathcliff, Cathy, Hareton, Joseph and, of course, the ghost of Catherine.
Nelly Dean’s story forms the major part of the narrative. While Nelly is meant to be an objective narrator, she has a lot to do with what has happened over the past twenty-five years that have led to the present state of affairs. Therefore, as readers, we need to realize how Nelly presents events and characters and her own role in determining the course of events.
The final part of the novel concerns the immediate future and provides us with the results of Lockwood’s visit to the Heights and the appearance of Catherine’s ghost. It is narrated by both Lockwood and Nelly.
Finally, Isabella, the wife of Heathcliff, through a letter, narrates one middle part of the novel. Although this narrative structure may, at first, be very difficult, it is necessary because in the world of the novel, time order of the years is not so important.
1.From the first paragraph, we can know the first narrator is ______.
A.Lockwood B.Thrushcross
C.Heathcliff D.Nelly Dean
2.What is special about the middle part of the novel?
A.One part of it is written in the form of a letter.
B.It describes how Isabella and Heathcliff got separated.
C.It is the most difficult part in the novel.
D.One part of it suggests Catherine has been dead
3.This passage is quite probably ______.
A.a piece of news B.a part of a novel
C.a writing instruction D.a reading guide
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day，my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

C.He did not love his children. D.He was too proud of himself.
2.When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel_______.
A.longing B.nervous C.tired D.safe
3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A.More critical. B.More talkative.
C.Gentle and friendly. D.Strict and hard-working.

Lots of kids count athletes among their heroes. Kids have posted of their favorite. stars on their bedroom walls. They collect their player cards and wear their game shirts. They view athletes as heroes because athletes can perform some amazing feats.
However, it is good for kids, and their parents, to remember that while athletes can do almost magical things, this does not automatically make them good friends or nice people. The last few years have given us some sad reminders of this truth.
Lance Armstrong was called a hero. He almost died of cancer, but he recovered to win seven Tour de France titles in a row, inspiring millions who have cancer to “live strong.”
Now it is clear Armstrong cheated to win his championships. He took drugs and lied for years about drug use. He bullied anyone who said he had cheated. Armstrong was a great athlete, but that did not make him a good person.
The same was true with several star baseball players, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa. They have not been voted into the sport's Hall of Fame because they have been accused of cheating to achieve their incredible records. Apparently, there is more to this honor than just records and statistics.
In a word, even if a player is the hero of the game, that doesn't make him a hero in lift.
