【题目】How to keep a nearly lost friendship alive

There are times when a friendship has to go through huge tests. It is a battle between staying together and moving away from each other. 1More often than not, it is pride that destroys a friendship.

Relax your pride. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. You may ask yourself, “Why should I say sorry when he does not show any regret for what he has done?”

2If you find yourself saying any of these things, you should understand that it is your pride talking. Allowing your pride to control your feelings will leave you bitter and confused.

Talk about the problem. Face the problem calmly. 3 it may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. If you avoid facing the problem, your pain will only grow. Remember, you want to keep the friendship and not worsen the problem.

Laugh about it. 4 After some time, when both of you have become calm and renewed your confidence in each other, go back to the time when you had nearly fallen apart. Laugh about your foolishness, and promise to never let pride take over your friendship.

Friendship is a valuable thing. 5Rapport(融洽的关系)is what creates a friendship. Love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are what lead to a long-lasting friendship.

A. Try to save your friendship.

B. It cannot be bought or demanded.

C. It is often said that laughter is the best medicine.

D. Do not wait for the other person to make the first move.

E. There are many complex reasons why a friendship falls out.

F. Write a letter and read it out loud to the other person.

G. You may also say, “I have not done anything wrong, and I don’t want to say sorry.”

【题目】Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trusts. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake calledvasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

1According to the passage, sharing bread______.

A. indicates a lack of food B. can help to develop unity

C. is a custom unique to rural areas D. has its roots in birthday celebrations

2The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.

C. analyzing causes D. describing processes

3What is the passage mainly about?

A. The custom of sharing food. B. The specific meaning of food.

C. The role of food in ceremonies. D. The importance of food in culture.

【题目】My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a timekiller . But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”

A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.

Give your children permission to succeed. They'rewaiting for you to believe in them.

I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts:“Don't worry; you'll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

【题目】

Family traditions are things that families do together regularly. 1They can be repeated daily, weekly, monthly or once a year. It is important for families to follow their traditions even as their children get older. Here are reasons:

Family traditions create good feelings and special moments to remember. They are fun things to do. 2And they are the memories that will last a lifetime.

【题目】A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious

2Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

3What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice D. Milk Drinking and Health

4How does the author support the theme of the text?

A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.

C. By explaining statistical data. D. By providing research results.
