Good books can be defined by the standard - classic, popular, encouraging, instructing, etc. Many categories can be classified for the good books.
1., for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity(密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third.2.But there is more wisdom in this. “Love me, love my bock.”
A good book is often the finest urn(宝器) of a life containing the best that life could think out;3.Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality.4.Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books invite us into the best society;5.We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
Books are what we always need to read or listen to. A good book is especially an intellect to which one never stops listening.
A.There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.”
B.Temples and statues decay(腐烂),but books survive.
C.We can tell what one is by the books he reads and the company he keeps.
D.the world of a man’ life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts.
E.They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.
F.they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived.
G.They do not turn their back upon us in times of poverty or trouble.

One of my second graders, Debbie, had been unusually quiet in my Family Living class. When I asked her if something was wrong, she replied, “I don't feel like talking today. I'm sad. My best friend's parents are going to get divorced（离婚的）. Her father moved out of the house. I told her I would share my dad with her, but I know it isn't the same. ”
I was surprised to learn that almost every child in my primary grade Family Living classes seemed to have some personal acquaintance （了解）with divorce—through friends of the family, neighbors, relatives, or much closer to home—their own parents. For many of them, divorce was just a normal part of life. Emily once said, “I want to be a doctor or nurse when I grow up, so after I get married and divorced, I'll be able to support myself. Then there was Billy, who stated, “When my mom gets married again next week, we're all going on a honeymoon.
Sometimes parents fight about the kids," said Kimberly. “My parents are divorced and my mom keeps pulling on one of my arms and my dad pulls the other. ” How sad, I thought, that a child would feel like her parents were actually pulling her apart because they each wanted more of her than the other should. “I hate that my parents are divorced! exclaimed Greg. “It's all my fault, too. I bite my nails too much. ”
Lori tried to look at things from a more positive perspective. “Your mother and father got mad at each other, but it doesn't mean they got mad at you," said Lori. “Lori is right," I said. Sometimes a husband and wife realize that they no longer love each other and decide it will be best for the whole family if they don't live together anymore. But that doesn't mean they stop loving their children, and it certainly doesn't mean that it is the children's fault!
“Maybe your mom and dad will change their minds and get undevoured,” Eric told Greg. “Then you can all be together again. ” Greg shook his head. “No, that won't happen. ” And then, with a thoughtful expression on his face, he said, “You know something? Divorce is like a cake. You cut it in half and it's separated forever. ”
1.Why did Debbie feel sad?
A.Debbie’s best friend’s parents were going to get divorced.
B.Debbie’s parents were getting divorced.
C.Her father moved out of the house.
D.She didn't want to share her dad with others.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.It's the children's fault that leads to parents' divorce.
B.It's acceptable for parents to get divorced if they don't love each other.
C.Parents usually get mad at the kid when they get mad with each other.
D.Parents usually ignore their children when they plan to get divorced.
3.According to the text, what is the author?
A.A teacher. B.An officer. C.A writer. D.A doctor.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Say Goodbye to Divorces B.Married or Divorced
C.Whose Fault for a Divorce D.Divorce's influence on children

The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn’t.
Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her.
I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
1.What words can best describe the woman?
A.Proud and determined. B.Strong-willed and honorable.
C.Modest and courageous. D.Diligent and considerate.
2.What does the underlined word “crippled” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Disabled. B.Healthy. C.Perfect. D.Strong.
3.What has the author learnt from the woman?
A.Don’t depend on others when facing hardships.
B.Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough.
C.The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.
D.It’s not winning but finishing the thing we start that really matters.
4.What could be the best title for the text?
A.A Humorous Stranger. B.An Unforgettable Job.
C.The Last Runner. D.The Annual Marathon.

When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped. But still, he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. “I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” he said.
The coronavirus has affected everyone’s life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习)are up in the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time of unprecedented (空前的) unemployment rates is no easy task.
Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, who created a “social distancing pledge” for young people. “I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention, he said. “They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were probably not watching the news.”
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who’d signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “ Going from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated at home all day wasn’t easy, said Harycki.
We’ve definitely had times when we feel kind of bored at home,” he said. “We are very social beings and we are used to having that school experience. “
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant they are still connected. “Part of what we are highlighting is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.
1.What does “the uncomfortable feeling” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Andrew missed his friends on the swim team.
B.Andrew would rather go swimming than study at home.
C.Andrew hoped he could learn with his friends on the swim team every day.
D.Andrew felt lonely because of long-term learning at home due to COVID-19.
2.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “up in the air” in Paragraph 2?
A.Certain position is replaced. B.Projects cannot be continued.
C.Plans are developed smoothly. D.Schools are closed for the moment.
3.Which of the following statements about “social distancing pledge” is TRUE?
A.It can help young people to get together to watch news.
B.It can offer a site to share young people’s school experiences.
C.It can help reduce young students’ feeling of loneliness with mapping locations.
D.It can give young people an accurate map when they are going to hang out with friends.
4.What’s the best title for this text?
A.Social Distancing Pledge for Young Students B.Young People Fight Against COVID-19
C.A Magical Map for Young Students D.Don’t Be Afraid of Loneliness

When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor , too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
1.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
