　　Sir William Osler has a few words for you：“In the life of a young man the most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship．”Truer words were never spoken．For what more could you ask than comradeship during the peaks and valleys of life? To whom else but a close, valuable friend can you brag(吹)about your successes and complain about your failures or losses?

　　What is a “good friend”? How is he best described? Well, it has been my observation that although many will cry with you, few can sincerely rejoice with you．Therefore, in my opinion, a good friend is one who can enjoy your successes without envy; one who can say, “That was wonderful! You can do it again, even better if you want!” and mean it．Nothing taxes a friendship more than the prosperity of one and not the other．Even the closest of friendships(and marriages)often cannot resist such pressure and fail．No wonder many minor friendships go down the drain(每况愈下)for the same reason．

　　A person of good character and sound moral fiber, of honor and humor, courage and belief is a friend to be sought and treasured－for there are few．Too often do we hear, “If yon can count your good friends on more than one hand．consider yourself blessed．”And even then I would add, “Even if you have lost two fingers of that hand to the electric saw．”

　　What makes a friendship last? Well, I don't know all the answers, but one of my observations is that most good friends usually have similar tastes．They generally like and dislike many of the same things．There also usually seems to exist a similarity of personality traits－especially in the fundamental values of life such as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, and dependability．More often than not, birds of a feather do fly together．I don't think it matters a lot whether one prefers jazz or hockey to another's Mozart or ballet．Much other matters far more：confiding(倾诉), relying, sharing, giving, getting, enjoying; a sympathetic ear always there; criticism when it can help; praise－even if only because it would help．With not many people on this earth will you find this much in common．When you find one, hang on to him, for a good friend found is a rare treasure．

(1)

D．	Sympathy．

答案：1．B;2．C;3．D;4．A;
解析：

(1)	概括归纳题。从第1段中的描述可知这段主要是提出话题：友谊。
(2)	难。句意理解题。本句的直译是“没有比发达或成功会给友谊施加负担的”，即朋友间的幸运或成功会给友谊带来不同的影响。
(3)	段意归纳题。根据第3段A person of good character and sound moral fibre…to be sought and treasured－for there are few说明好的朋友要珍惜，因为好的朋友太少了。
(4)	解析：细节题。根据最后一段I don't think it means a lot whether one prefers jazz or hockey to another's Mozart or ballet说明作者认为爱好在友谊方面影响是不大的。　　文章大意：友谊是一个永恒的主题，但究竟什么人才是真正的朋友呢？什么友谊才是永恒的友谊？

　　The chief medical officer for England, Sir Liam Donaldson, today called for a new crackdown on tobacco smuggling(走私)to stop illegal imports of cigarettes undermining(影响)efforts to reduce smoking-related illnesses．

　　Sir Liam said the government and other European Union(EU)member states needed to introduce tighter controls to reduce the widespread availability of cheap illegally imported cigarettes．

　　Up to 25％ of cigarettes and 75％ of hand-rolled tobacco consumed in England have avoided UK taxes and duties, according to the chief medical officer’s(CMO)fourth annual report on the state of public health．

　　The street price of a smuggled pack of a leading brand of cigarettes is 2.50 while the legal price is 4.89．

　　Sir Liam said：“Smuggled and cheap tobacco undermines health and health inequality goals by making tobacco widely available at much cheaper prices．”

　　“Traditionally, taxes, duties and price increases on tobacco have reduced tobacco consumption and been highly effective as an additional discouragement, but the availability of smuggled and cheap tobacco erodes these efforts to help people stop smoking．”

　　“I would like to see closer cooperation between UK Revenue and Excise and other EU member states in dealing with this problem．”

　　Sir Liam’s report also called for public services to provide more healthy and appetising meals．

　　Public services spend up to 2bn a year on buying food and catering services－7％ of all UK spending on catering．The CMO said the NHS, local authorities and prisons should use this power to promote healthier eating．For example, hospitals should buy more fruit, he said．

　　The CMO said, “The section serves over 1．8bn meals a year－they need to be healthier and more nutritionally balanced．The public section should use its huge financial muscle, as a purchaser and obtainer, to improve the nation’s health．”

　　For several days I saw little of Mr.Rochester．In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighbourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him．When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal．

　　During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile．His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them．

　　One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr.Rochester after dinner．As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me,“Do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?”

　　The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it：“No, sir．”

　　“Ah, you really are unusual!You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude．”

　　“Sir, I'm sorry．I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that．”

　　“No, you shouldn't!I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back!You have honesty and feeling．There are not many girls like you．But perhaps I go too fast．Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points．”

　　I thought to myself that he might have too．He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,“Yes, you're right．I have plenty of faults．I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again．I might have been very different．I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser．I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong．It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame．Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope．”

　　“Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre．”He continued．“You don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you．But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely．You're like a bird in cage．When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high．Good night．”

(1)

At the beginning Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr.Rochester were all except ________．
[　　]
A．	friendly
B．	sociable
C．	busy
D．	changeable

(2)

Why did Mr.Rochester say“…and then you stab me in the back!”(the seventh paragraph)?
[　　]
A．	Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife．
B．	Because Jane had intended to be more critical．
C．	Because Jane had regretted having talked to him．
D．	Because Jane had said something else to correct herself．

(3)

From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to ________．
[　　]
A．	tell her all his troubles
B．	tell her his life experience
C．	change her opinion of him
D．	change his circumstances

(4)

At the end of the passage, Mr.Rochester sounded ________．
[　　]
A．	rude
B．	cold
C．	friendly
D．	encouraging
