Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no
boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人).
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to
say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a
friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill
are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt
(萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in which his
parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.
There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me", someone he can
trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run
surprisingly deep.

Imagine waking up to a world where China is the world"s leading superpower, astronauts are busy
walking on Mars and a brand new political party is ruling the UK? Well, this could be reality in 14 years if some of the predictions of 100,000 Britons are correct.
The survey asked the people of the UK how they pictured the world in 2025.
Nearly half believe Prince William will be crowned King of England instead of Prince Charles although one in six think the monarchy (君主制度) will have been abolished. A quarter of those surveyed believe
a new party will form the government in 2025 although the same number of people think that Labor will
be back in power.
On the world stage 60 percent think China is set to become the world"s leading superpower, while 30
percent of people think Great Britain will be made up of four selfgoverned countries.
Meanwhile technology will have come on in leaps and bounds. Four percent are optimistic that there
will be a permanent human base on Mars while one in ten expect a colony of humans to be living in space. More than half questioned in the MSN study predict people will watch all their favorite shows via TV sets hooked up to the Internet. Two thirds believe cosmetic surgery(整容手术) will have become common
and one in six think we will look after our own health using computers rather than________.
But at least we can amuse ourselves with the daily comings and goings of pop singers and reality stars, as more than half think that "celebrity(明星)"will be a registered profession.

and is prepared to tion, something comes along to gases we give out in our daily actions and choices．
Therefore,combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet．
The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually．That"s
enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool．
Surprised? Well,．here"s how you can work to reduce it:
1．Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes．This will save water
and give you an extra two minutes in bed．
2．Don"t purchase unnecessary clothes,and be careful about the materials you buy．Wool and cotton
have a really high greenhouse gas impact．Manmade fibers are a better choice．
3．Try to buy high-quality,long-lasting products even though they ．A laptop is more efficient than
a desktop,and a small screen TV is better than a big flat-screen．
4．Only turn the water heater on when necessary,and adjust temperature controls to avoid overheating．Put a lid on a pan when boiling water．
5．When using the washing machine,be sure there"s a full load and turn the temperature down if it"s not
really dirty．
6．The greediest home device along with the washing machine is the fridge．Make sure it"s as efficient
as possible by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from the oven or heater．Don"t put food in
when it"s still warm．
7．Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers,get creative．For instance,make
them into a soup．Ask to take food home from restaurants if there"s some left,but remember to take

Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not ________, especially English, with its rich
vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in a large house but never leaving one small
room. When I meet students who think they can"t write, I know as a teacher my duty is to show them the
rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing
activity to enrich the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by
having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done daily, just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with daily practice. I often see a rise in
students" confidence after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future professional lives. They
build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of news, or the perfect love letter.

people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.
Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive
defendants(被告)．But in the executive circle,beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful
to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and
ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their
success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable
than the attractive female executives.Interestingly,though,the rise of the unattractive overnight successes
was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more
feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus,an
attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally
masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required.
This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women
differently,"says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on
political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs,one of
men and one of women,in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of
candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for
them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men,but the women who had
been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
B．instability
C．disadvantage
D．burden
B．makes women look more honest and capable
C．is of primary importance to women
D．often enables women to succeed quickly
B．affects men and women alike
C．has as little effect on men as on women
D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
B．prejudiced
C．oldfashioned
D．pessimistic
B．emphasize the importance of appearance
C．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
D．give advice to jobseekers who are attractive
________________. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or
older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect
American society in many ways: education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has
made it a very different society, in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is
suitable at various ages.
A person"s age no longer tells you anything about his or her social position, marriage or health. There"s
no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The_social_clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn"t
as strong as it used to be. It doesn"t surprise us to hear of a 29yearold university president or a 35yearold grandmother, or a 70yearold man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age." No one says, "
Act your age" any more. We"ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
1．What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2．How do we no longer feel when older people behave as young people? (no more than 3 words)

3．Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence. (no more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4．What does "Act your age" mean? (no more than 9 words)

5．What do the words "The social clock" (Line 5, Paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3
words)
