When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong — even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit(承认) that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider friendship as an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).
(1)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Easy Ways to Make Friends

(2)The “wronged person” underlined in the passage refers to a person __________.
A.who has been mistaken for another
B.who has been blamed unfairly
C.who has treated friends badly
D.who has admitted his mistakes
(3)According to the passage, a friendship can be long only if __________.
A.we have much in common
B.we know our friends' mistakes
C.we treat our disagreements wisely
D.we have known one another her desires
(4)What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion?
A.Make an apology first.
B.Avoid making mistakes.
C.Stick to our own points of view.
D.Change our lifestyles.

【题目】Mention the word “coding” and the first image that comes to mind is a complicated algorithm(运算法则)that has no relationship to the real world.It is,therefore,no wonder that most kids avoid learning this skill that is becoming increasingly important in today's world.Now,thanks to a small robot,even kids as young as five,will be demanding program.Root,a robot,can be accessed using an iPad.It has been designed to teach coding to kids at various levels.For beginners or young children,Root is less about coding but more about problem-solving.

Kids can construct a “what if” situation by moving icons(图标)around on the tablet and observing the consequences of their action instantly.This simple “cause and effect” logic can be used to teach the robot to “drive” along a vertical dry-erase whiteboard and quickly draw with a dry-erase marker.Root can also be instructed to move around the floor,draw patterns,and avoid barriers.

As students get more comfortable with the concept,they can download commands,meaning that Root can be told to draw a race track on a whiteboard,and then multiple Root robots can be instructed to race each other.Other fun options include programming Root to go faster when driving over the color green and coming to a stop upon sensing the color red.That's just the beginning of the possibilities—Root can also be taught to flee when it detects danger,which in this case is the beam from a flashlight,and even play “Angry Birds” on a whiteboard using real-world physics.Since multiple Roots can be used at the same time,the robot is the perfect classroom tool to introduce coding to young kids.

Raphael believes that this novel approach to coding will excite great interest because unlike the traditional method,Root makes coding fun for even the youngest of students.Unfortunately,the robot,successfully tested by kids in the laboratory,is not yet available for schools.The researchers estimate that Root will be sold for about $200, making it fairly affordable for anyone that wishes to learn how to code.

1Why are kids afraid to learn to code according to the author?

A. It is very difficult for them to learn this skill.

B. It gets them more uncomfortable to use computers.

C. Learning code will cost them a large sum of money.

D. Kids find it will have less fun playing computer games.

2The robot called Root helps kids to______.

A. change kids' study attitudes B. move icons around more easily

C. greatly improve kids' test marks D. feel at ease when learning to code

3What do we know about the robot?

A. It teaches kids to code. B. It is used to design programs.

C. It makes “Angry Birds” popular. D. It helps kids to break codes.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
How would you like to have been born without any ability to feel pain? There are such people. One of them is being studied by doctors at a hospital in New York City. He is a 22-year-old clerk who really does not know the meaning of pain. But he wishes he did.
Not long ago a packet of matches flared up(骤然烧起) in his hand. Luckily the burn was not serious. It caused large blisters(水泡) but still did not bother him. He said the burn felt like a fly crawling(在……上爬行) on his fingers. It has been the same story as far back as he can remember. He has never had headaches or sore(疼痛的) muscles. Bee stings, cuts and bruises(疼痛的) do not hurt.
Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think. The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings. A sudden attack of appendicitis(阑尾炎) could be deadly. Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.
(1)In the final sentence, the writer uses “fire alarms” to mean ________.
A.loud noises that a person hears
