  • 6、​​​​​​​Friendship is one of the most precious gifts in life. A good friend can always1 you when you are in trouble. Last month, I failed my math exam and felt very sad. My best friend Lily didn't laugh at me. Instead, she spent two hours every day helping me review the lessons. She explained difficult problems2 until I fully understood. With her help, I got a good grade in the next exam.

    True friends also know how to share. Last weekend, Lily won a ticket to a concert of our favorite singer. She3 invited me to go with her. We sang and cheered together during the concert, and that day became one of my happiest memories.

    It's not easy to keep a friendship. We need to be honest and4 with each other. Once, I forgot to return Lily's storybook on time. I told her the truth and apologized. She smiled and said, "It's okay. Just remember to return it next time." Such understanding makes our friendship5 stronger.

    Is she kind? Does he like parties? Sometimes it's not easy to know that, but we can find out whether a person is an introvert (内向的人) or an extrovert (外向的人). Introverts are usually quiet and they spend lots of time staying by themselves. Being with people makes them feel tired. And they usually spend a lot of time thinking and take more time to make decisions. However, extroverts are very excited when they are with many people. They enjoy talking with people and they usually make decisions quickly.

    Some people may think that introverts are shy. But in fact, being an introvert can be a great thing sometimes. Here are some examples.

    Introverts often notice more things than others. When others are busy talking, introverts are more likely to notice things like body language and people's faces (脸). Extroverts might not notice these.

    Introverts are better listeners when they have a talk with others. They're less likely to cut in before a person finishes speaking. And because introverts like to think carefully about things, they're more likely to listen to everything others say before they talk to them.

    Introverts can also be great leaders (领导者). They know the people in their groups very well. So they can ask the right people to help them do great work.

    Although introverts may find being with other people tiring, that doesn't mean they don't have or want friends. In fact, it means they make friends with others very carefully. Once they decide to bring those people into their lives, they will be very friendly to them.

    Make good small talk. You may ask someone how their family is doing, how their new job is going, or if anything is new in their life. Keep your conversation comfortable for everyone.

    Don't laugh at others if they make a mistake. I'm sure you don't like it when people laugh at you for making mistakes, so don't do the same to others.

  • 13、Winter is hard for most animals, so some birds and animals travel south for the winter.

    The groundhog (土拨鼠), however, lives through winter in a different way. As soon as it feels the weather turning cold, it starts to dig a hole (挖洞) at least 1.5 metres deep (深). There it makes a comfortable home with leaves and grass. It spends the cold winter months in its bed under the ground and it won't come out until spring.

    The groundhog doesn't eat at all during the winter. Instead, it eats as much and as often as it can during the summer. As winter comes, the groundhog becomes so heavy that it can hardly move. When it wants to sleep, it goes back to the hole and falls into a deep sleep. Its breathing almost stops, its heartbeat (心跳) slows, and its body temperature falls to just above 0℃ during the sleep. When it gets up in spring, its weight is only half of that in autumn. By February or March, it's ready to leave its hole.

    So years ago, people often waited for the first groundhog to go out of the hole. When it did, they knew spring was coming. There are some stories about it. One of them is about a groundhog called Phil. This animal could tell the weather. Phil went out of the hole and looked around every February 2nd. If he saw his shadow (影子), it meant that the winter would last for six more weeks. If the weather was cloudy and he didn't see his shadow, it meant spring would be early.

    (1)、What can we know about the groundhog's winter home?
    A、It's usually in trees. B、Its bed is 1.5 metres long. C、There are leaves and grass in it.
    (2)、What will happen to the groundhog when it sleeps in winter?
    A、It starts to weigh less. B、It breathes more quickly. C、Its body temperature goes up.
    (3)、Why did people expect the groundhog to come out in the past?
    A、Because it was the best time to catch it. B、Because it showed the winter was over. C、Because there was much food in its home.
    (4)、Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?

    ①The groundhog sleeps in its bed under the ground.

    ②The groundhog leaves its hole next year.

    ③The groundhog digs a hole as its home.

    ④The groundhog eats as much and as often as it can.

    ④In the evening, everyone had a different job to help prepare dinner. Yesterday, it was my job to cook the hot dogs, but I dropped them into the fire by mistake, so we had to eat bread instead. The other kids complained (抱怨) about it. At night, we sat around a campfire, singing songs and telling stories. That was usually fun. But one night, when I was trying to find more sticks (枯枝) for the fire, I got lost in the forest. After about an hour, I finally found my way back, but no one seemed to know what had happened.

  • 15、Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey (调查). We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram (图表) of the result of our survey. Let's have a look at it.

    We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

    A、2,000. B、3,000. C、4,000.

    It all started about three years ago. While he was a documentary (纪录片), Guang Nian noticed a sick little girl without hair in it. She said that of everything in the world, she to have long hair the most. So Guang Nian asked mum, "Can I give my hair to that girl?"

    "Of course, baby," his mum answered. "But you know what? Your hair is kind of."

    "Then I will wait until it gets longer," the boy said.

Although his family suggested he stop whenever he wanted, the boy didn't. "Normally (通常), people mistake me for a because of my hair. Some children even laugh at me when I them I'm a boy, and it hurts," the boy smiled in tears (泪水).

  • 19、Lucy is a Grade 9 student in a city middle school. These days, she feels really stressed. "My alarm clock rings at 6:00 a.m. every day—earlier than before," she says. "After morning self-study, we have 8 classes, and then evening classes until 8:30 p.m. I get home at 9:00 p.m., but I still need to finish math worksheets and English reading tasks. By 11:30 p.m., my eyes are heavy."

    Lucy's favorite activity was drawing—she used to win prizes in school art competitions. But now, her sketchbook is buried under piles of textbooks. "Mom took away my colored pencils last month. ‘Focus on exams first!' she said. Even weekends are full: I have math and physics tutoring on Saturday, English on Sunday," she adds. "Last week, I fell asleep during class. The teacher thought I was lazy—I wanted to cry."

            Some students think study pressure is normal. "My dad always says, ‘Pressure makes diamonds!' laughs Tom, Lucy's classmate." But I told him, ‘Diamonds need time to form too!' We should take 10-minute breaks between study sessions or talk to parents—they might not know we're this tired."
