Turner, meanwhile, had thought she was no longer important to Fry. "She"s got a family now," she told herself. "We"re just too different to be close like before."
Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together, laughing and sharing confidences.
"Thank goodness I finally took action," Fry says. "We both realized we were as important to each other as ever."
There are good reasons to value our friendships. Once a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends far outranked（高于）homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
“A stable friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction and keeps us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. "It is what we should protect." However, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University, "The better friends you are, the more likely you"ll face conflicts." And even 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. Here"s what experts suggest:
◆Swallow your pride.
◆Apologize when you"re wrong--even if you"ve also been wronged.
◆See things from your friend"s point of view.
◆Accept that friendships change.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy, says Yager. The hard part is keeping the connections strong and long. Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and develop.
71．The first paragraph is written mainly to_______.
A．complain something to her husband
B．show Lisa Fry missed her friend
C．show family is more important than friendship
D．introduce the topic to be discussed
72．The underlined word “awkward” in the third paragraph probably means______.
A．uncomfortable B．uninteresting C．convenient D．relaxed

A．Once friendship is broken, there is no way to be repaired.
B．People don’t value friendship over other things
C．The more and better friends we make, the happier we are.
D．Lisa Fry and Paula Turner were as important to each other as ever.
74．Experts suggest that_________.
A．Making friends should be no difficult experience.
B．We should consider things for our friends first
C．We should not have to apologize if it is not our fault

75．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Broken Friendship
B．Opinions on Friendship and Friends
C．What Is Good Friendship?
D．How to Mend a Broken Friendship
答案
解析
72．词义猜测题。下文 “…yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together, laughing and sharing confidences.”说“后来她们俩承认她们惦念着对方,一个月后他们聚会,说笑,分享自信”。由此她们起初的谈话很尴尬、不自在。故A项为最佳答案。
73．正误判断题。由第四段中“We both realized we were as important to each other as ever”可以得出答案为D。A项的表述与“The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.” 不符；B项是对第五段最后一句的片面理解, C项文中缺乏明显依据。
74．细节理解题。由“See things from your friend"s point of view.”可知B项正确。A项表述错误，由最后一段中“The hard part is keeping the connections strong and long.”可知；C项表述错误，由“Apologize when you"re wrong-even if you"ve also been wronged.”可知；由“Consider friendship an honor and a gift and worth the effort to treasure and develop.”可知友谊是相互的（two-way），故D项错误。
75．主旨大意题。文章从Lisa Fry and Paula Turner的友谊谈起，引出友谊需要双方的呵护和弥合,最后专家提出了几点如何改善损坏了的友谊的建议。

举一反三
But using the Web also makes teens a target. Posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a threat to your life.
As Mary learned, not everyone on the Internet is who he or she says they are. Adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. They use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.
"That"s not the most common scenario", says David Finkelhor, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire. "Only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the Internet report being asked to meet offline. But the danger is real.
Safety measures
Mary"s My Space profile is set to "private", which means that only the people she adds under the "friend" category can access her page. She also doesn"t have any pictures of herself on her site. The only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.
"People can only add me if they know my last name or my e-mail, "Mary says. " I don"t want random people to see my profile. I just go online to talk to my friends."
Stay safe and have fun online
Experts say almost 90 percent of U.S. Teens are online. But not everyone knows how to surf the Web in a smart way. With these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!
Pick a safe password. Make sure your password is something that other people won"t be able to guess. Use numbers in between letters. "spar123ky" is better than "sparky 123."
Pick a safe username. Make sure yours doesn"t say too much about you, "Happygirl13" is better than "AliceWaters13." Don"t include your name, age, or where you are from. Never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends" names.
56．Who is most likely to be a victim online?
A．A liar. B．A teenager. C．A stranger. D．An honest person.
57．In Mary"s opinion, _________.
A．one shouldn"t trust everyone online B．one shouldn"t trust anyone online

58．One of the safety measures mentioned in the passage is that _________.
A．one should not chat with strangers

D．Numbers are popular online.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centres on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reuseable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear some time in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes（爆炸）.We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
60．Homes of the future will ________.
A．be completely different from those of today.
B．be very similar to our homes
C．all be different form one another
D．be movable as you want
61．Space trips and staying in space hotels will _________.
A．become a very common way to spend a holiday
B．be the cheapest holiday option for families
C．attract a lot of people
D．still only be for very rich people
62．E-paper will replace traditional paper because _________.
A．we will use it again B．it won’t waste natural resource
C．it will be cheaper to produce D．it will be convenient to carry
63．We will have move to another planet ________.
A．if we want to save the human race B．when the sun explodes
C．when the earth disappears D．when the earth is too crowded to fill people on
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes.
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing.
When the day arrived, I was eager to go. To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
68．According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is _______.
A．find the right methods B．be careful about everything
C．know your ability D．have a clear goal
69．If you have a target, you will ________.
A．wander like a sleepwalker B．know well what you are doing
C．do the same work every day D．put it into words
70．The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that ______.
A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
71．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Define Your Coal B．Visualize Rewards of Success
C．Overcome the Fear of Air Travel D．Sleepwalking Through Life
Working AT home is increasing in popularity as a means of escaping from nine-to-five office life. Why work under the constant watch of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your carpet slippers? Armed with all the office essentials—telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city to a beautiful village, and make working from home an attractive choice, you can even work on a canal boat, like one Internet firm in the Midlands, US.
So what will become of the office of tomorrow? I believe it is likely that many could disappear into cyberspace. To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees the activity of each employee.
As a successor to the Web Cam, a video screen would be created, as the need for more natural form of interaction than e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Capturing the mood and expressions of work colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively. As the company"s life blood, the computer would contain a record of all conversations and correspondence for future reference, and hold confidential information such as accounts in password protected areas. In the office of tomorrow, with daily life captured in detail, the case for firing employees could be more clear cut.
6．The first paragraph mainly focuses on _________.
A. the office to working at home B. preference to working at home
C. working effectively in the office D. one Internet firm in the Midlands, UK
7．The office of the future will be ________.
A. in space B. a network
C. in inner-city areas D. a central processing computer
8．In Paragraph 2, the word “ oversee” probably means “_________”.
A. overlook B. organize C. make out D. watch over
9．A video screen would be built because _________.
A. the Web Cam needs it B. it is useful to fellow workers
C. e-mail or telephone is out of date D. managers can clearly spot employees
10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. You can get accounts without password.
B. Computers would record workers’ blood types.
C. You can get informationg of your fellow workers easily.
D. Firing employees in the office of tomorrow could be largely reduced.
Prisoner Mitchell King had a visitor— his wife. King was serving a six-year prison term in Auckland, New Zealand for armed robbery. But his wife didn’t want to be away from him for that long. So they held hands and they stuck. She’s rubbed her palms with super glue.
Their new-found closeness was short-lived. And their separation painful. Her technique is not one I"d recommend(introduce) for a closer relationship.
But if you want more closeness; if you desire relationships that are deeper and broader, more meaningful and longer-lasting, then remember the word "TRAVEL."
T is for TRUST. Trust is the glue that holds people together (not Super Glue). A relationship will go nowhere without it.
R is for RESPECT. "Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; speak them rather now instead," writes Anna Cummins. It"s about respecting others and letting them know that you value them.
A is for AFFECTION. Sometimes affection means love. Sometimes it means a touch. Always it means kindness.
V is for VULNERABILITY(harm). Though we may feel afraid to let another too close, no relationship will go anywhere without risking vulnerability. Entrepreneur Jim Rohn says, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." And the love.
E is for EMOTIONAL INTIMACY(亲密). Learn to be open. Learn to communicate freely. What kinds of relationships you make are largely determined by how openly you have learned to communicate.
L is for LAUGHTER. Victor Borge got it right when he said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." It"s also the most enjoyable.
For relationships that can really go somewhere, just remember the word "TRAVEL." Then enjoy the trip!
6．The author intends to _________ by showing us the example in Paragraph One.
A. condemn the wife for her silly behavior
B. introduce new ways for closer relationships
C. tell us King and his wife would never be separated
D. encourage us to follow the wife’s technique
7．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph Four refers to?
A. Trust. B. Glue. C. Closeness. D. TRAVEL
8．Which of the following agrees with what Jim Rohn says?
A. Walls should be built to keep out the sadness.
B. It’s unnecessary to avoid vulnerability for closer relationships.
C. Love will be kept out if you let another too close.
D. We shouldn’t let another too close because of vulnerability.
9．What does Victor Borge really mean by his word in the ninth paragraph?
A. Laughter will keep the shortest distance.
B. Laughter will make a closer relationship.
C. No relationship will go without laughter.
D. Laughter is necessary to make friends.
10．What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Relationships. B. The story of a prisoner.
C. A technique for good relationships. D. Tips on closer relationships.
