Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Who chooses your friends?

When we do not understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of signs.

A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day, he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and take them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.”

The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee and put it on the table. The man again refused his offer. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food.

When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hands on his stomach. This was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.

So you see, we can understand the language of signs as well as we can understand the language of words.

There is a saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What one person considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes.  but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight (深刻的了解) or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.

   The most memorable “beautiful people” are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces. In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls. Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slender(纤细的) figures. But Lin was used to getting her own way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a matter of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.

    Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have attained(获得) inner peace. They care about their fellowmen, and try to right the injustices in this world, Two well-known personalities who exemplify this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa.  Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa’s mission is to help the poorest of the world’s poor. This inner beauty makes the world a better place.

60. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to ________.

A. the beauty of eyes                              B. something beyond the lovely sight

C. something that pleases our eyes            D. inner beauty

61. What does the underlined sentence “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” mean?

    A. Beauty is a matter of a person’s taste and judgement.

    B. Beautiful people are very popular.

    C. Everybody hopes for beauty.

    D. Beauty attracts people’ s eyes.

62. According to the passage, why did the author think Sue was more beautiful than Lin?

    A. Sue had a perfect face                        B. Sue had a good character.

    C. Sue became more and more slender.      D. Lin treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way.

63. What’s the author’s opinion on beauty?

A. Beauty is a perfect face and a slender figure.

B. Beauty is something that pleases the eyes.

C. Beauty is an attractive personality behind the pretty faces.

    D. Inner beauty doesn’t attract people.

Online Movie Rentals

It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken.   71   Fortunately, many aspects of a country’s culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.

What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going down to the video rental store to rent movies?   72 

Most companies require customers to operate on the following model:

●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time.

●  73  You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within 1~3 days, and shipping is covered by the company.

●Watch the movies, often with no late fees.

●  74 

●Check these sites for specific, up – to – date details.

Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn’t a bad way to relax, but you won’t learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good English – English dictionary to understand their possible meanings.   75  If you don’t’ know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning.

       A．Return the movies in a prepaid return envelope.

       B．If you haven’t finished on time, you can delay returning.

       C．Now, more and more companies are offering customers the chance to rent movies online.

       D．Then, think of some sample sentences for each word.

       E．Choose the movie you want to watch, generally 1~3 at a time.

       F．Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do.

       G．While many find packing up and moving to a country is not a practical option.
