Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different pref?erences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.

It is often said that building good relationships is all about communica?tion. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship—knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broad?ened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work* from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.

Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be disagree?ments here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.

As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore, support?ing each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relation?ship.

Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.

5.  The underlined word " distraught" in Paragraph 1  probably means

A. helpless       B. surprising      C, funny     D. upsetting

6.  To communicate well with people, you should know that .

  A.  supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship

B.  a white lie is necessary sometimes

C.  compromises are essential at any time

D.  your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you

7. According to the text, which of the following are important for a good relationship?

a. communication       b. support       c. love        d. hidden selves
A. abd            B. acd          C. bed          D. abc

8. What would be the best title for the text?

  A.  The importance to express disagreements

B.  Keys to making relationships work

C.  Different opinions on good relationships

D.  Forbidden rules in building good relationships

  There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 1 you,but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you,but understand you. Many people will step in your life,but only 2 friends leave footprints(脚印).

  I shall always recall(回忆)theand the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the 4 between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

  It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves floating in the cool 5 . In such a season, I liked walking 6 in the leaves, listening to the sound of them.

  It is aseason and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8 But one day,the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream(小溪)flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.

  I had 11seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence(存在)did not seem to disturb her.

  Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14   . Though we didn't know each other,I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also 15  me.

  The season was nearly over. One day,when I was listening carefully,the sound suddenly  16  . To my astonishment(惊讶),the girl came over to me. "You must like violin," she said.

    "Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.

   Suddenly,a 17 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. "I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that     18 me," she said.

  "In fact,it was your playing that gave me a meaningful 19 ," I answered, "Let's be friends."

  The girl smiled, and so did I.

  I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影)of the girl.

  She is like a 20 so short,so bright,like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the season beautiful.

 Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9t without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time;then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat,on the other hand,gets all the water it needs from water that it pro?duces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temper?ature,and will die if it rises more than 5^. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat.

  Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer day, most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool,and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun,but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morn?ing comes,most of them seek shelter again:many go underground;nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun's heat.

  For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many des?ert plants,they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high tempera?ture. In addition, some species spend all or most of their life below ground. Here,for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants,only adults leave the underground nests,and they do so only to gather food or to defend the nest against attack.

(   ) 1. Compared with other desert animals,the camel can bear      

A.     a very low body temperature

B.     only a little change in body temperature

C.     a big increase in body temperature

D.     a constant change in body temperature

(   ) 2. The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that      

A.     it can produce water through breathing

B.     it can store water in parts of its body

C.     it can maintain different body temperatures

D.     it can drink a lot of water at a time

(   ) 3. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert?

A.     Because it is not difficult for them to survive there.

B.     Because they are not afraid of the heat.

C.     Because it is not difficult for them to find food there.

D.     Because they have a waterproof skin.

(   ) 4. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights?

A.     Because it is cooler and safer for most animals.

B.     Because animals can find food in the dark.

C.     Because it is easy to find water at night.

D.     Because animals cannot sleep at night.
