阅读理解     Jascha Richter once sang “don"t  need  too much talking without saying anything”  to  reveal  his lonely
feeling in a crowd.   
     Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are
negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.  
     It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.  
     Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest
care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she"s in need,  either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty,
I would have some rewards-at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender(性别).    
     Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too
young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE  in a foreign land and such an experience actually  makes us learn how to
extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.  
      All are friends around me.I"ve looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing.THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And
then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don"t
say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.   
     But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.   
    “Standing on a mountain high
     Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
     I should go and see some friends          
     But they don"t really comprehend”    
     Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.   1. What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage? A. He is really a good philosopher.
B. He possibly gets on well with others.
C. He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.
D. The passage doesn’t tell us at all. 2.What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?A. She likes Jascha Richter’s song.
B. Jascha Richter is one of her friends.
C. The song expresses her feelings.
D. She uses it to perfects her article.3. Which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE?  A. She is now living abroad but doesn’t enjoy the life there.   
B. She absolutely believes in her father’s philosophy.  
C. She shows a positive attitude towards her relationship with others.   
D. She thinks highly of her friends by repeating “They are good”.4. The writer mostly expresses her ______ in this passage.A. happiness      
B. homesickness
C. sadness    
D. loneliness

阅读理解     Sometimes when we are lost in the daytoday activities of life and work, we forget there is a part of us
that wants to serve and make a difference in the world.It is also a good time to look for ways to express
yourself through service to others.
     Most people want to live a life full of meaning.If you recognize you have a true desire to serve,
voluntary work in the community and a spirit of giving can lead you to an understanding of what you care
about, what your natural talents are, and what your life purpose is.It can start you on the path to a new
life.
     To live your purpose as fully as possible, use your natural gifts when you serve others.If you are a
naturallyborn teacher, you could teach students who are struggling with basic reading skills.If you are
good at encouraging people, you could visit people who are sick or in nursing homes.
     Many of us forget how lucky we are and how much support we have.When we reach out to others,
we sometimes realize how our lives have been blessed.When you are aware of all the blessings that you
have received, you can understand your true capacity to make a difference.
     Service is a spirit for living in addition to a set of actions.You live your life purpose every day.It"s not
just when you are volunteering at church or the local food bank.It"s every time you interact(互动) with
anyone.Through your actions, your words, and your smiles, you have the capability to either uplift
someone or put them down.Meaningful, purposeful lives are built every moment, not just in isolated times
spent volunteering.Whether it"s at work, in traffic, in the line at the grocery store, or at a concert, you
have an opportunity to serve and change the world.Your efforts don"t have to be extraordinary, but your
life certainly will be.

1. Through service you can do all of the following EXCEPT ____.
A. make a difference in the world

2. In the author"s opinion, to make your life fully meaningful, your service to others should ________.

3. The last paragraph suggests that ________.
A. you should live your meaningful life at almost anytime anywhere
B. you should build your meaningful life while doing voluntary work
C. the more uncommon your efforts are, the more meaningful your life is
D. the best way to live your purpose is to take part in social activities

阅读理解     When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their
own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love.
It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
     When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies
when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said
little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and
one of us would say: "Let"s start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write
separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end
of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
     When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair. But
our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this
great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many
excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We_gave_London_to_
each_other._
     For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write
long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny
way, in the other"s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.
In my most interesting moments, I often think: "Yes, I must tell…". We have never met.
     It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with them is worth more to me than
the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those
darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________. A. become serious about her study
B. go to her friend"s house regularly
C. learn from her classmates at school
D. share poems and stories with her friend2. In Paragraph 3, "We gave London to each other." probably means ________. A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared
D. we parted with each other in London3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend ________.A. call each other regularly
B. have the same personalities
C. enjoy writing to each other
D. dream of calling each other4. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A. seek professional help
B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend  
D. break the silence
