Women were friends, I once would have said, when they totally love and support and trust each other, and bear to each other the secrets of their souls, and run—no questions asked—to help each other, and tell harsh truths to each other(No, you can’t wear that dress unless you lose ten pounds first.) when these truths must be told.

In other words, I once would have said that a friend is a friend all the way, but now I believe that’s narrow point of view. Friendships serve many different functions，meet different needs and range from those as all-the-way as the friendship of the soul sisters mentioned above to that of the most casual playmates.

Convenience friends are women with whom we’d have no particular reason to be friends: a next-door neighbor or the mother of one of our children’s closest friends. They’ll lend us their cups for a party. They’ll drive our kids to school when we’re sick. They’ll take us to pick up our car when we need a lift .As we will for them. But we don’t , with convenience friends, ever come too close or tell too much; we maintain our public face and emotional distance.

Special-interest friends aren’t intimate（亲密）,and they needn’t involve kids or cats. Their value lies in some interest jointly shared .And so we may have an office friend or a tennis friend.

“I’ve got one woman friend,” says Joyce,” who likes, as I do, to take music courses, which makes it nice for me and her. I’d say that what we’re doing is doing together, not being together.”

Crossroads friends are important for what was for the friendship we shared at a crucial（关键的）,now past, time of life. A time, perhaps, when we roomed in college together or went together through pregnancy, birth and that scary first year of new motherhood.

Crossroads friends develop powerful links, links strong enough to endure with not much more contact than once-a-year letters at Christmas. And out of respect for those crossroads years, for those dramas and dreams we once shared, we will always be friends.

Crossroads friends seem to maintain a special kind of intimacy ----dormant（休眠的） but always ready to be revived（复活） ---and though we may rarely meet ,whenever we do connect, it’s personal and strong. Another kind of intimacy exists in the cross-generational friendships, the friends that form across generation in what one　 woman calls her daughter-mother and her mother-daughter relationships.

There are good friends, pretty good friends and very good friends, and these friendships are defined by their level of intimacy. We might tell a good friend, for example, that yesterday we had a fight with our husband. And we might tell a pretty good friend that this fight with our husband made us so mad that we slept on the couch. And we might tell a very good friend that the reason we got so mad in that fight that we slept on the couch had something to do with a girl who works in his office. But it’s only to our very best friends that we’re willing to tell all, to tell what’s going on with that girl in his office.

1.The underlined word “harsh”(in Para.1)probably means “------“

A. protective　　　 B.impossible

C. unpleasant　　 　 D. unbelievable

2.What can we know about convenience friends?

A.People may share their sorrow and pain with their convenience friends.

B.People may borrow a large sum of money from their convenience friends.

C.People may ask their convenience friends to pick up their children for them.

D.People would like to seek comfort and convenience from their convenience friends.

3.What is the similarity between crossroads friends and cross-generational friends?

A.They often write to each other but never meet.

B.They become friends at a crucial time of their life.

C. They both enjoy a special kind of intimacy with each other.

D.The relationship usually exists between mothers and daughters.

4.The friendships in the passage are classified（分类） according to _________.

A.different stages of one’s life

B.the purpose of making friends

C.how people make friends with others

D.how close the relationship is

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

Globalization

Great advances in technology and communications have been made during the past 20 years.In consequence,people around the world have become more connected.The growing link between nations and people of the world is called globalization.1.

Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce,that is, free trade.Free trade removes certain limits to global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods.A further aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce poverty. Globalization has indeed increased trade worldwide.2.

The debate about recent trends in global commerce is complex.Those who support free trade in the global market point out that competition lowers prices. 3. For example,the imported milk from the US was cheaper than local milk in Jamaica,so more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition.Meanwhile,the cheaper milk put local dairy farmers out of business.

4.When a poor nation begins trading on the global level,it gains certain benefits. Its economy grows rapidly.Multinational companies set up factories,which provide jobs for people.Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations.

5.Although they agree that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations,they doubt whether it reduces poverty.In fact,they cite studies that show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market.

Regardless of which side they are on,most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor.

A.Both sides need to find a way to make it work.

B.However,experts disagree about its effects on the poor.

C.In this sense,globalization caused as much harm as good..

D.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions.

E.It is a trend that has changed ways of life throughout the world.

F.In contrast,others argue that free trade often harms poor nations.

G.Those support free trade in the global market for a number of reasons.

Health officials in the United States reported last week on what they believe could be a medical first. Officials said doctors performed what could be the first double lung transplant（移植）on a person whose lungs were severely damaged from vaping（吸电子烟）.The operation reportedly saved the life of the teenager.

The young man was admitted in early September to a Detroit-area hospital with what appeared to be a common lung infection, but was later sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. On October 3, he was transported to Henry Ford Hospital, where the transplant was performed 12 days later.

Hassan Nemeh is a surgical director of thoracic（胸腔的）organ transplant at Henry Ford Hospital. He told The Associated Press（The AP）that the damage done to the teenager’s lungs from vaping was so bad that there was no possibility to totally recover. He warned parents to think about that and to tell their children as well.

More than 2000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March. Many of them are teenagers and young adults. At least 40 people have died.

Recently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a discovery into what might be causing people who vape to become sick. They identified the chemical compound vitamin E acetate（醋酸盐）as a “very strong criminal”.

Researchers found the chemical compound in fluid taken from the lungs of 29 patients. In other studies, Vitamin E acetate was found in liquid from electronic cigarettes and other vaping devices, Many who got sick said they had vaped liquids that contain THC, the part of marijuana that creates what is known as a “high”.

Dr. Lisa Allenspach is a lung specialist and medical director of Henry Ford’s Lung Transplant Program. She told The AP, “Vaping-related injuries are all too common these days. Our adolescents are faced with a crisis,” She added that vaping products should not be used in any way.

Dr. Nemeh said the 17-year-old patient’s case didn’t open any new moral considerations about transplants for people who severely damaged their own lungs by vaping. He added, “We hope sharing this patient’s story prevents anyone else from experiencing a vaping injury that would require a transplant.”

1.What can be learned about the young man in the text?

A.He got caught in a moral dilemma. B.He was the first to get sick by vaping.

C.He received the operation immediately. D.He had a good chance to survive the lung damage

2.How many hospitals are mentioned in the text?

A.1. B.2. C.3. D.4.

3.What is Dr. Lisa Allenspach’s attitude towards vaping products?

A.Skeptical. B.Approving. C.Opposing. D.Objective.

4.What can we learn from what Dr. Nemeh said？

A.He hoped to arouse people’s attention to staying away from vaping.

B.He wanted to raise money for the young man.

C.He wanted to open moral considerations about lung transplant.

D.He hoped to keep people from tobacco.

If you walk through a park,you may enjoy the scents(气味）of flowers,water and soil.If you are especially lucky,you will get to smell fresh-cut grass.It's a beloved scent that transports many people back to their childhood.But there's a dark side to that smell.Indeed,we are in love with the scent of fear.

Plants have many different chemical defenses.That smell is one of them,as the grass responds to an attack,signaling(向......示意）to the surrounding grass that danger is coming.The fresh,"green”scent of a just-mowed lawn is the lawn trying to save itself,says a story at science website Real-Clear Science.

The smell is produced by a mix of chemicals called green leaf volatiles(GLVs,绿叶挥发物）.When the leafy plants are injured by animals eating them, people cutting them, or any other rough treatment-they give off GLVs into the air.These GLVs are a warning to neighbouring plants that their flowers might be removed,so they can move resources like sugar toward their roots and away from their flowers.This reduces a plant's potential losses and can help it grow back later.

The rush of GLVs does a few other things,too.One chemical helps to close the wound on the damaged plant.Others act as antibiotics(抗生素）and prevent bacterial infections.

Some GLVs may also react with animals that eat plants.Silke All-mann and Ian T.Baldwin, researchers from the University of Amsterdam,Netherlands,found that some caterpillars(毛虫）are changed by the GLV compounds(化合物）when they eat a tobacco plant.Tobacco makes the caterpillars more attractive to predators(捕食者）.For the tobacco plants,this is like having an older brother come to beat up your bully(欺凌者）.

Thankfully,nothing is coming to eat you when you mow the lawn.Instead,we human get treated to some great-smelling GLVs.One is a compound known as"cis-3-hexenal".This is the same chemical that gives strawberries their sweet scent.Similar compounds are also found in apples and olives.

＂Just about all fresh vegetables have some GLV scents to them,"Baldwin told Live Science,and fruits may release the compounds as they soften."Throughout evolutionary history,we've used that information to know when something is ripe,"Baldwin said.Now we can use it to know when grass is frightened.

1.What do we know about GLVs?

A.They are harmful to humans. B.They are unique to flowering plants.

C.They tend to stay in the air for a long time. D.They are released when plants get hurt.

2.How may plants react to the GLVs produced by neighbouring plants?

A.They grow more quickly. B.They produce more flowers.

C.They absorb more water. D.They transport resources to their roots.

3.In paragraph5,the underlined part"an older brother"refers to

A.a kind of antibiotic B.a predator. C.a caterpillar. D.a tobacco plant.

4.According to Baldwin,GLVs can

A.tell us whether fruits are ready to eat. B.protect plants from pests.

C.help fruits grow more quickly. D.help people choose delicious fruits.
