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.
B．don"t value friendship as much as girls
C．have the same friendship as girls
D．have healthier friendship than girls
B．tends to be in small groups
C．can bear mutual hurt between friends
D．doesn"t suffer from failure

C．boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D．boys may be more active in a friendship
B．shift his focus from his friends to himself
C．leave his parents out of his friendship
D．be confused about what a friendship is

million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the
United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to
thestandard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties
of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning
and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world
language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some
of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native
speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international
conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a
language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication
in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international
communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

Shortly after 10 in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another baby were mistakenly switched

| "In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律 诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. 1. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________. A. objective B. costly C. unreliable D. illegal 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A.

| Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface. A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of "melody roads", which use cars as tuning forks(音叉)to play music as they travel. The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes. Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune. Patent documents for the design describe it as notches(刻痕)"formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melodylike tones". There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan-one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土机)before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones. The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph,but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound. "You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,"wrote one Japanese blogger."Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph[20 km/h]has a slowmotion effect, making you almost carsick." 1.According to the passage,melody roads use________to create different notes. A. cars B. grooves C. spaces between intervals D. bulldozers 2. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on________. A. how far the grooves are B. how big the grooves are C. the number of the grooves D. the speed of the car 3. The underlined word "optimal" in the passage might mean________. A. fastest B. possible C. best D. suitable 4. In order to hear the music well,you have to________. A. drive very fast B. drive slowly C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed 5. What"s the best title of the passage? A. A New Type of Music B. Melody Roads in Japan C. A Musical Road Surface D. A New Invention in Japan |
