They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? 1.
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. 2. . The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
?? 3. In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this.

Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount(数量) of listening they need before they start speaking, and children who start speaking late are often long listeners. Most children will “obey”(服从) spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” can hardly describe the cooperation(合作) shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures(手势) and by making noises.
It is agreed that babies enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two special noises are used by them to show their happiness, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cannot be said to be a kind of communication, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. From about three months old they play with sounds for enjoyment, and by six months they are able to add new sounds to their store. This self-imitation(自我模仿) leads to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises is that can these imitations be considered as speech?
It is a problem we need not get our teeth into(全身心地做……). The meaning of a word depends on what a special person means by it in a special situation, and what a child means by a word will change as he gets more experience of the world.
Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I wonder, however, whether anything is gained when parents try to use this ability to teach new sounds.
1.Before children start speaking, ________.
[ ]
A.they need equal amounts of listening
B.they need different amounts of listening
C.they can all cooperate with the adults(成年人) by obeying spoken instructions
D.they can't understand and obey the adults' spoken instructions
2.Children who start speaking late ________.
[ ]
A.may have problems with their hearing
B.probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C.usually pay close attention to what they hear
D.often take a long time in leaning to listen properly
3.The problem that a baby's imitations can be considered as speech ________.
[ ]
A.is important because words have different meanings for different people
B.is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C.is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D.is one that should be completely ignored because children's use of words is often meaningless
4.Baby's first noises are ________.
[ ]
A.a reflection(映射) of his moods(情绪) and feelings
B.an early form of language
C.a sign that he means to tell you something
D.an imitation of the speech of adults
5.From the last paragraph we know that ________.
[ ]
A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak for themselves
C.children who are good at imitating learn new sounds more quickly
D.even after they have learnt to speak children still enjoy imitating

One kind of letter most people enjoy writing is the letter of thanks or appreciation. It's pleasant to say "thank you" to someone who has been generous or thoughtful.
Every gift, however trifling, should be acknowledged(表示感谢)with a note of thanks. Every favor or courtesy(礼貌)- every kindness or attention on the part of a neighbor or friend - every expression of hospitality- certainly every letter of condolence(吊唁)or congratulation - deserves sincere and gracious(有礼貌的)acknowledgement.
It doesn't matter if you have already expressed your appreciation in person; a letter must still be written. It can be as brief and simple as you like, but it should express your appreciation with sincerity and warmth. Remember that half the joy of giving is the anticipation(预料)of receiving pleased acknowledgement, and surely the person who has been thoughtful or generous toward you deserves that satisfaction!
The underlined word "trifling" probably means "________".
A. of little value B. important C. valuable D. precious
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. We need not write a letter of thanks if we have already said "thank you" personally.
B. Usually no replies are written to letters of condolence.
C. Our letters of thanks may be short, but we should be sincere.
D. We should not, however, expect letters of thanks for what we give.
