In-line skating（滚轴溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（护具）.
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.

Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.
【小题1】According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?

A．Learn to fall and stop safely.

B．Find a class and skate fast.

C．Relax and have fun.

D．Buy expensive gear and skates.

One can never fully today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!

I once a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He he was racing those cars around a great track, which in was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.

When his mother told him the time had come to , the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？” to the Oscar.

“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”

The horrified mother . “Put that back immediately！”

Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.

You may have learned to let go of past and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

Here are my tips:

Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance（相识的人）.

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly（though I am not naturally sociable）. And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond with the same thing.

Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class（before, after, or even during class time）is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged (泄气的) when it took a while to make friends．It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________________________.

　Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's really worth it!

1.For what purpose does the writer write this passage?（Please answer within 15 words.）

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

I was believed to be sociable because of my friendly attitude towards others．

3. Fill in the blank with a sentence.（Please answer within 10 words.）

4.Which piece of advice does the following sentence belong to? (Write in detail)

Everybody should make friends patiently in high school.

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
