When I was a young student, a Chinese teacher told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 1tells us that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 2. It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 3 friendship to 4.
However, there can be 5 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 6 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 7 at arm’s length? Do we want to 8 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 9 enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 10  that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 11 experience 12 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 13 be undertaken(进行)slowly and carried on only if there are 14 of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 15 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 16 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 17 actions in return. In 18 words, you must give as much as you take.
Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 19 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 20.

Seasonal influenza is characterized by a sudden fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and runny nose. Most people recover from fever and 1symptoms within a week without requiring medical attention. But influenza can2severe illness or death in people at high risk. The time from infection to illness is about two days.
Yearly influenza epidemics can3affect all age groups, but the highest risk of complications occur among children younger than age two, adults age 65 or older, and people of4age with certain medical conditions, such as chronic heart, lung, kidney, liver, blood or metabolic diseases, or weakened immune systems.
Seasonal influenza5easily and can sweep through schools, nursing homes or businesses and towns. When an6person coughs, infected droplets get into the air and another person can breathe them7and be exposed. The virus can also be spread by hands infected with the virus.8transmission, people should cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing, and9their hands regularly.
Drugs for influenza are 10in some countries and effectively prevent and treat the illness. Some influenza viruses develop 11to the antiviral medicines, limiting the effectiveness of treatment.
Influenza epidemics occur12during autumn and winter in temperate regions. Illnesses result in hospitalizations and deaths mainly among high-risk groups. Worldwide, these annual epidemics result in about three to five million13of severe illness, and about 250 000 to 500 000 deaths.
Influenza can cause serious public health and economic problems. In14countries, epidemics can result in high levels of worker absenteeism and productivity15.16most people recover from a bout(轮) of influenza, there are large numbers of people who need hospital treatment and many17die from the disease every year.18is known about the effects of influenza epidemics in developing countries.
The most19way to prevent the disease or severe outcomes from the illness is vaccination. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious influenza complications, and for people who live with or care20high risk individuals.

John and Bobby joined a wholesale(批发)company together just after graduation from college the same year. 1 worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the 2 of manager but John remained a(n) 3 employee. John could not take it any more, so he 4 his resignation(辞职信)and complained the boss did not know how to5 hard-working staff.
The boss knew John worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, “ I have a 6 .1 hope you can do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your 7 ."John didn't 8 . The boss asked him to go and find out anyone 9 watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. The boss asked 10 it cost per kilogram. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to 11 to the boss that the melon was $1.2 per kg.
The boss told John to wait a second, and he asked Bobby to do the same thing. Bobby went, returned and said, "Boss, only one person sells watermelons, $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg. He has 340 melons 12. Every melon weighs about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago. They are fresh and red, of good quality." John was very 13 and realized the14 between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign 15 to learn from Bobby.
My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks16 and explores in depth. 17 exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out a chance and catch it to18 his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, 19 another sees only tomorrow, the difference between a year and a day is 365 times, then how 20 you win?

A man’s best friend may become his enemy. His children that he has1with loving care may show no thanks. Those who are 2to us, those whom we trust with our happiness3turn against their faith. The money that a man has, he may4.It flies from him, perhaps when he needs it 5.A man’s reputation(名誉) may be lost in a moment of ill-considered6. The people who would prefer to fall on their knees to do us honour when success is with us may be 7 to throw the stone malice(敌意) when failure settles upon our heads.
The one absolutely(绝对地)8friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts(遗弃) him is his9. A man’s dog stands by him10he is rich or poor, healthy or sick. He will sleep on the cold ground,11the wintry winds blow and the snow drives hard,12he may be near his master’s side. He will 13the hand that has no food to offer. He guards the sleep of his poor master as if he 14 a prince. When all other friends desert him , the dog15. When reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant(不断的) in his love as the sun in its journey 16the heavens.
If the master becomes friendless and homeless,17the faithful dog asks for is to be with him. And when18 takes his master in its embrace(拥抱) and his body19away in the cold ground, there by the graveside(墓边) will the dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but 20in watchfullness, faithful and true even in death.

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my 1 , it was the same score.
Later that evening, I 2 told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our3much better than an IQ test. We4that Michael’s score must have been a5and we should treat him6 as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got7grades in the school, especially8biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael 9 Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than 10 . In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I11the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the 12 IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say13, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the14 we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then 15 another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had16 the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be 17 .
Children often do as18 as what adults, particularly parents and teachers,19 of them. That is, tell a child he is “20”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.

When I began married life more than 17 years ago, I weighed 118 pounds. After having two children, and years of 1 eating, I weighed 180 pounds. I was unhappy. I considered going on a 2, so I gathered information about it.
I 3 the South Beach Diet and how well it was 4 for some people in our area. I looked it up online and 5 for it. Even though I knew my husband loved me no matter how I 6 or how much I weighed. I decided that it would be a wonderful 7 for my husband to come home and see a new 8, so I kept my South Beach experience a 9 from him. Later he left home for a two-week business trip.
I was surprised at all the 10 I could eat. It was great to have breakfast, 11 and dinner. The food was difficult to eat at first 12 I usually didn’t like such food. This made the daily menus hard, 13 I overcame (克服) the challenge.
The first two weeks there really 14 me change the way I thought about 15. It wasn’t chocolate or cheese or candy I 16, but fruit! Before my husband’s return, my children and I were amazed at how quickly the 17 was lost.
When my husband returned, I had 18more than 30 pounds. When I saw my husband’s reaction at the airport I thought it was worth every minute on the diet! I have 19 to lose weight and I am now less than 10 pounds from my final 20. I feel better than I have in years and I’m enjoying life much more!

For much of our life, my mother and I hated each other. I spent most of my childhood1with her – or trying to avoid her, as well as her bitterness, unhappiness and endless smoking. I learned how to defend myself with2designed to hurt her. In turn, she vowed I would have a3who would feel the way about me that I felt about her.
Many years later when my husband and I decided to have a child, I was4to have a girl. I couldn’t5the though of a daughter who might not love me – or who would want to6me. As soon as I became pregnant, I was convinced I was having a boy. In the delivery room, on my doctor putting my baby into my arms, I couldn’t wait to tell my mother I had a7, while “he” was a girl. At that moment, I couldn’t imagine wanting anyone but her.
8I couldn’t forget my mother’s teasing vow, even after she died and I saw her in a more9light. As my daughter got older, whenever we argued, I worried we were10the same awful path that my mother and I had gone down.
Last summer, my daughter1118, the same age when my mother threw me out of her apartment for12. However, I was with her, planning for her first year at college. When my husband and I dropped her off at her school in New York, I finally13to her my biggest fear that we would end up like me and my mother. “That will never happen.” she14me, kissing me goodbye. Six weeks later, my husband and I returned to the campus. I15myself arguing with my daughter about her messy room, not using the library and her mistake of choosing the room near the bathroom. I couldn’t stop myself. And then16came: “You’re just like your mother,” my daughter screamed. “I hate you.” And then she17.
I finally heard the words I had always dreaded. But maybe that was because I18them. I had always worried the bond I shared with my daughter would19. later that evening, we picked my daughter up to a restaurant. We ate20. But when we separated, I hugged her. The next morning, she called telling she loved me. There wasn’t anything to be afraid of anymore. There was just a relationship we should work on with each other.
