Alex felt restless.Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo, Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours expecting either an attack from the returning robbers or the arrival of a rescue party, but nothing had happened.He and Rosita had some food and a sleep, and now it was Hugo’s turn to sleep after his meal.Rosita was lying in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below.Alex threw himself down beside her.

  “I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, her eyes on the view outside.“I keep hoping I will see him somewhere.”

  “I’m sure he is okay,” answered Alex.“I’m pretty certain the enemy thought it was a ground attack.Anyway, they were too busy rushing to get away in their land rover to waste time firing at the condor(神鹰).I’m not worried about him.What I’m worried, though, are the words on that tape that was attached to Ruark’s leg.I keep saying the words to myself:

  What about the cave?There’s a two-meter hole at the back of it.No one will find it.There are so many caves….

  The money they stole is hidden somewhere out there and I should hate them to come back and take it from under our noses.”

  “Well,” replied his sister, “you heard what the man said.There are so many caves.At a guess, I can see about two hundred of them dotted about.It could take a week to look in them all.

  “Yes.It’s a clever hiding place, but I think we have one clue that might help us.Ruark settled somewhere near enough from the tape to pick up their voices.He was probably situated just above the entrance.Condors are not exactly tiny birds so he may have been on a shelf or a overhanging rock large enough to take his big feet and body,” He half closed his eyes against the strong light outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people find it hard to make friends.  61  All it takes is for you to get out of your shell and remember that if you love yourself, others will too. Especially being a teen, making friends can be hard or easy depending on several factors.

Relax. It’s all about confidence---if you are nervous or try too hard to look cool you’ll just act strange. So you won’t make many friends. You will stand out as overdoing(做得过分) something.

You have to act as you have had plenty of friends in the past, so even the “cool” ones will want to speak to you. 62  Be relaxed.People will like you for passing a peaceful energy.

Make the first move. Don’t be shy because it won’t help you in anything. Look around for people that seem interesting, and go up to talk to them. A good subject to talk about to anyone is music because almost everybody likes music. 63 Try not to get deep when you are first meeting somebody.

64  Everyone likes to be heard. So give attention to what others say, look straight in their eyes and show you’re paying attention. If this person feels that you’re listening to him, your new friend will enjoy your company more.

Develop friendships. You may talk to someone now but soon they’ll forget you if you stop. 65  Say their name as often as you can. When you greet them, say things like, “Hey Alex!”,“What’s going on, Sarah?’’ If you do that every day, they’ll be happy that you care about them and remember them, so they won’t forget you and you will be good friends.

A.It is really not.

B.Be a good listener.

C.Other topics could be movies or sports.

D.Making one or two best friends is usually enough.

E. Invite your new friends to go out together with you.

F. Think of good reasons why someone would like to meet you.

G. You’d better take a time to say hi to them every day and ask how they are doing.
