Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly, they seem to think that their own company is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others.
Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.
Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.
Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.
Learn to respect your own boundaries. Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept;no one else can point that out to you, or force you to compromise(妥协).

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it    patience. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to    some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home   .
Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things     you do is much easier. Or join someone      some activity.
Many people are    when talking to new people.   all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown .And it’s human nature to feel a bit    about the unknown. Most of fears about       new people come from doubts about    .We imagine other people are    us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself      you are, and try to put the other at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident even    you don’t feel that way when you    a room full of strangers. Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and    .
If you see someone you’d like to    , say something. Don’t wait for      person to start a talk.
Just meeting someone      does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person.   is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”. It takes time to
  friendship.

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly that you would rather die than go? Well that’s how I      about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club assisting philanthropies(慈善事业).But now I believe that you    open up your mind to things because eventually you might    end up enjoying it.
“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .
We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen   we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m    so socially awkward(糟糕的) I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was    ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.
Soon the    families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was    I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.
As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It    that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of    . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.
I believe that if you have an    mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just    doing one thing you don’t want to do .

Every night, my mother would come to my room, lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
I don't remember when it first started     me --her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did make me annoyed, for they felt work - worn and     against my young skin.Finally, one night, I shouted at her: “Don' t do that any more --your      are too rough!” She didn’t say anything in    .But never again did my mother close out my day with that     expression of her love.
Time after time, with the     years, my thoughts returned to that night.I'm not a little girl any more.Mom is in her mid - seventies, and those hands I     thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my         
Now, my own children are   . Mom no longer has Dad. It was late on that Thanksgiving Eve, as I went to sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand     before stealing across my face to brush the     from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so      touched my brow.In my    , thousands of times, I     the night my young voice complained.     Mom's hand in my hand, I said how     I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did,     Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and      —long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new     for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the     I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障碍赛跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(残余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反复无常的情况) and a challenging environment.
小题1:The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when__.
A.everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away
B.everyone seemed to be free for others
C.Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D.nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school
小题2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____.
A.people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B.such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C.people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D.visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past
小题3:From the last paragraph we may infer that_____.
A.people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B.people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life
C.land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D.people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity
小题4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial.
B.We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives.
C.Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest.
D.We should abandon some old tradition.


An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”
Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.
小题1:How did the cracked pot feel about itself at first?
A.Proud.B.Happy.C.Excited.D.Ashamed.
小题2:Where were the flowers growing?
A.On both sides of the path.
B.In the woman’s house.
C.On the perfect pot’s side.
D.On the cracked pot’s side.
小题3:Which is the correct order of the following events?
① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.
A.④⑤①③②B.⑤④③②①
C.④③①②⑤D.④⑤③①②
小题4:What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A.Never laugh at old women.
B.Imperfection makes life meaningful.
C.Try your best to be perfect in life.
D.Don’t use a cracked pot to carry water.
My family and I used to live in Belgium, and, to me, life was great. Most of my relatives and friends lived there, so there was never a      of aunts to spoil me or children to play with me.
My father is a journalist,       there wasn't much work for him in Belgium at that time. When I was eight, he        he'd found a good job in London and that we were going to move there.  I was      - I didn't realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world. The excitement soon      after we moved there.
       our arrival in London, I had to start a new school and learn a  new      . I didn't know things in fashion, either. For the       six months I had extra lessons to  learn English. This       with cards and progressed towards books. I'm a      learner ,so I soon caught up. It was fitting in with other       in my school that took a bit more work.
For the first two years or so I was an outsider, no matter how much I tried to      . This made me      and sensitive - a perfect target for bullies. Thankfully, some of my classmates began to     me, and they became a great help as they helped me to      the things that made me a "foreigner".  By the time I        primary school,  most people couldn't believe I had moved to England only four years before. I was        able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my      to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn't mean completely       yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to  learn the         culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.
I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.
Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.
小题1:What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A.The author has a great talent for algebra.

小题3:What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?
A.Success and wealth.
B.Gifts and self-confidence.
C.Enthusiasm and good health.
D.Knowledge and achievements.
小题4:We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A.rich people generally feel unhappy
B.wealth can’t bring people any happiness
C.one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants
D.being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth
