After the earthquake hit northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, many touching stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.

I had to walk home since all the   36  had stopped after the quake. On my way home I   37 an old Japanese lady at the bakery shop who was giving out free bread, which made my heart  38 . A middle-aged Japanese man was holding a sign that read, “Please use our   39 .” He was   40 his house for people to go to the restroom.

My friend wanted to  41 others. He stood in the cold with a sign “If you are okay with a motorcycle, I will   42  you to your house.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all the way to a faraway place!

Then the next day I drove to  43 my car with gas. There was a  44 of gas now and many gasoline stations were either closed or had very  45 lines. I got   46 , since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was my   47 , the man smiled and said, “  48 this situation, we are only selling each person $ 30 worth of gas. Is that alright?” “Of course, I’m just glad that we are all able to   49 ,” I said. His smile gave me so much   50 .

I saw a man at the evacuation (疏散) center  51 when people brought food to him, It was the first time in three days that food has been brought to their center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next 52  surprised me. “I am very   53  that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t   54  any food at all. Please go to that centre as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of this   55  .

In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.

And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.

Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.

As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.

“Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”

A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.

The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less

depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies.

1.Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?

A.A growing number of people are going to the cinema.

B.People are richer with the development of economy.

C.More comedies are made than serious films.

D.People have to pay more to watch a movie.

2.Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.

A.she tried to escape reality

B.she was a crazy movie fan

C.she was fond of Disneyland

D.she wanted to please her kids

3.According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?

A.17.5%            B.$1.7 billion        C.$60              D.$25 million

4.The passage is developed mainly by ________.

A.presenting the effect and analyzing the causes

B.following the order of time

C.describing problems and drawing a conclusion

D.making comparison of ideas

 

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends, who will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!

1. If you have fair-weather friends, _____.

A.they will give you all that they have when you need help

B.you will be refused when you get into trouble

C.you will become rich

D.you can be sure that you get real friends

2.Good friends need to ______.

A.always point out each other’s mistakes

B.be helped with money

C.understand each other’s feelings

D.have money or luck.

3. This passage mainly discusses ________.

A.the qualities of a friend

B.where to choose friends

C.how to get along with friends

D.the importance of having a friend
