Many people often lose their friends and they don"t know how to keep a long friendship.So
how can you keep a long friendship? The following passage explains very well about this matter.
The first thing you need to do is to become a good listener.In this way,you show your friends
that you are interested in their lives.You want to know more about them and you want to help
them solve their problems.They will cherish the friendship more if they know you care about them.
The next thing is that you should respect other people"s privacy (隐私).People usually don"t
like others to know about their private life,so you should show respect toward their privacy.
Sometimes,they need some suggestions from others,but this does not mean that others can know
about their entire life.So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.
The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive.You must remember that nobody
is perfect in this world.It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they
have already made.You are not perfect either.Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes
you may have made.
Pay attention to the three things above,and you will be able to have long friendships.
B.what we can do for our friends
C.how to make friends with others
D.how to keep a long friendship
B.To share our happiness and sadness.
C.To be good at listening to our friends.
D.To help our friends solve their problems.
B.some people never care about their privacy
C.it is important to respect other people"s privacy
D.some people like sharing their privacy
B.Forgive him.
C.Tell him why it is so.
D.Leave him immediately.
B.some people are perfect
C.people often make stupid mistakes
D.we shouldn"t apologize fpr every mistake
I guess having a son who could become a race car driver was the next best thing.Don"t get me
wrong-Dad didn"t push me into racing.In fact, when I was about 10 years old, my dad was afraid that
driving a car wasn"t my dream.So he took the racing away from me.I wasn"t very happy with that decision.It wasn"t long before Dad realized that racing was what I loved.
At four, Dad bought me my first Quarter Midget (袖珍赛车) and that"s really where it started for us.
Back then, Dad coached me.He would stick out (伸出) his footin the path of the race car, and then tell
me to exactly hit his foot.By repeating this again and again, Dad believed that I would be faster and
sharper on the race track.
Dad worked really long hours at his car repair business to make money so that I could race each
weekend.I can remember that every night before he turned off the lights in the garage, Dad would tell
me:"Don"t forget to kiss your race car good night." He was trying to teach me that if I show respect, it"s
returned.He wanted me to show thankfulness and respect for my race car and for all the hard work that
we and many others had put into the dream.
My dad, my mom and my sister gave up a lot of things to help me race.For us, there was no better
moment than winning the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.That evening in February 2008, I
knew I had gotten a good push.I could hear the excitement.My father couldn"t speak a word, and when
he got to Victory Lane (车道), he nearly knocked me over and gave me such a big hug.
B. Because he worried that his son didn"t like racing.
C. Because he didn"t want his son to fail like he did.
D. Because he couldn"t afford the money.
B. working hard to make money
C. buying his son a mini racing car
D. changing his job as a race car driver
B. To help his son to be braver.
C. To have fun with his son.
D. To make his son more careful.
B. treat the race car as a person
C. feel grateful that he could follow his dream
D. develop a close relationship with his race car
B. surprised
C. sad
D. excited
more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member,
a pal you"ve met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn"t you feel lonely?Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of
loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place
you"re traveling to.You don"t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time
you spend in the country.
____________________
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can"t simply ignore the rising price
of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food.Of course, you
can"t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never
count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other"s heart while traveling together
in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you"re in a foreign land, you"ll never be really safe.You don"t know the rules as well as the
culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to
watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don"t you find a travel companion now?

field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them
more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought
by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm.Most importantly, it broadens (使扩大) our
mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure.People
travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes
ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times,
for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and
festivals.Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find
out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for
centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be
introduced to different cultures.
So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much
from it.

C. lose
D. decide
B. for knowledge
C. to get experiences

lonely and cold.If you try to make some new friends there, your life will be more enjoyable.Don"t worry if
you are a shy person as the steps below will help you do this.
In every place that you visit, try to introduce yourself to people.If you are on a bus, try to talk to the
other passengers.If you are in a school, introduce yourself to your classmates, and even if you are in a
bookstore and you happen to meet someone, introduce yourself.The_more_people_you_introduce
_yourself_to, the_more_chances_you_have_of_gaining_new_friends.
It"s good to hear your own name called by others.That"s the greatest sound a person could ever hear.
If you can call out their names when you meet them the second time, this will leave them a deep
impression.If you think you have a problem remembering names, here is a tip.When they have said their
names, use them immediately in a conversation.Say their names at least three times in your conversations.
You will remember their names that way.
It"s important that what you are talking about interest both of you.Talking about them will surely be a
great topic for your conversation.Everyone wants to be the subject of a conversation.
Making eye contact with them will show that you are serious about them.If your eyes are drifting
throughout your conversation, they"ll feel you are not interested in them.So____________with them from
time to time during the conversation.
These steps are just the basic things that you can do.You can think of many other ways to gain new
friends and remember to have fun while doing it.

kind words,and offered to help in any way he could.

I smiled as I went up and down the supermarket and people I didn"t even know smiled back at me.Some
even spoke!The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a hard time saw me smile;he stopped
talking and then made a shy attempt at a smile.The man in the cart for the disabled needed help to reach
for something,and I got it for him.The smile even transferred (转移) over to him,and he thanked me.
As I drove home,I was smiling.Now I know a smile is a small thing,but what if we all tried to smile a
few more times each day?I couldn"t believe how great I felt.Nothing in my life had changed,but maybe it
had.What I had learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits,but also the spirits of those around me.So smile!
