What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.

The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.

“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.

Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.

But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of ‘friend’,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.

36.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _______.

A. if you have more friends you will not live happily

B. the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn in your late life

C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live

D. friends can make more money for you

37. According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means________.

A. you have the ability to earn more money

B. you will not feel lonely

C. you are quite content with your life

D. you have the ability to get along with others in various situations

38.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.

B. Friendship plays a more important part in our daily life than anything else.

C. Friends are currency.

D. Friends give you success.

39.We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. if you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future

B. graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future

C. friends mean a form of currency

D. friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed

The Basics of Math－Made Clear

　　Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond．

　　The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically．

　　Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing－and completely understandable－field of study．

　　By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性)of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．

　　Professor H．Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．

　　With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．

　　If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer．Or you can get your money back．

We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time. The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that. Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind(磨碎) corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from.

We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top. The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity. We tend to build many of these towers together, to make a "wind farm" and produce more electricity. The more towers, the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity we can make. It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans（大篷车）increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged.

The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains—places where the wind is strong and reliable. Some are offshore. To be worthwhile, you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h. Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales. Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators. In California, several “wind farms” supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles.

The propellors are large, to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air. The blades can be angled to cope with varying wind speeds. Some designs use vertical turbines(垂直涡轮机), which don't need to be turned to face the wind. The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to where the wind is stronger. This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming.

1. The first paragraph aims to introduce to us _______.

A. the function of wind power B. the source of wind power

C. the nations using wind power D. the history of using wind power

2.How does a wind power work?

A. The generator turns the propellor blades and produce electricity.

B. The tall tower helps turn the energy in the air into electricity.

C. Warm air rises and makes the propellor move round.

D. The propellor blown round by wind turns the generator to produce electricity.

3. The best places for building the wind farm are places where _______.

A. boats and caravans can often be seen B. isolated farms don’t have enough electricity

C. there are less human activities D. the wind is strong and reliable

4. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. wind farms will not take up too much farming land

B. wind farms need no fuel because wind is free

C. the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from

D. the higher and larger the towers are, the stronger the wind is

5. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Where to build a wind farm. B. ABC of the using of wind energy.

C. How to make best use of wind. D. Wind energy is the best energy.
