What are friends? We often talk about the topic for others. I think friends are those people whom can help you when you are in the trouble. Don’t forget the saying, “A friend in need was a friend indeed.” Your friend can tell you your mistake, though what they say is hard for you to listen. You can share happiness, trouble and worry with our friends. Someone also says, “You can’t walk some steps without a friend.” So I think friends are absolute important to us. I would like to make as much friends as possible.

We all know that exercise is good for our health. To stay healthy, doctors suggest doing 150 minutes of moderate（适度的）exercise every week. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.1. Compared to non-runners, runners show 30% lower risk of death," researchers said.
2.Here are four commonly shared ideas among fitness experts to reduce the risk of injuries for people new to running.
• Take it easy.3. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed. Muscles（肌肉）and joints（关节）need time to recover.
• Get good running shoes. There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoes that offer the best fit for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
•4.Take some time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over and over again.
• Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some forms of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury-free. For example, swimming, cycling and yoga are good exercises to combine with running.5.
A.Take good notes.
B.Running also may help you live longer.
C.Running takes a lot of time.
D.Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body.
E.As we all know, doing sports helps us teamwork.
F.These exercises are easier on the body.
G.Do not run too much, too soon or too fast.
Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. "I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note," says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, "It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift."
However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

Everyone has got two personalities （性格）— the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you fall asleep with．
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow．
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own．
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced （平衡的） personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality.

Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.
New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed－a number that is one-third of known human genes.
According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.
When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.
This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)－it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
1.The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to______ .
A.raise a question
B.give an example
C.make an argument
D.show the main idea of the passage
2.Most genetic changes happen because of______ .

C.heart disease and cancer D.people’s bad living habit
3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to______ .

C.the harmful effect D.the genetic change
4.Which of the following statements is true?
A.The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.
B.The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking
C.The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
D.The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
