Everyone needs friends. As the saying goes, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us .”

The American writer, Sally Seamans, tells young students some smart ways to make friends .Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow .

First you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make friends, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives .

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter .

There are three steps to be friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong; explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life .

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pains, no gains". He hardly watered his new trees, which greatly went against conventional (守旧的) wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things hard for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how trees, if they were not watered, would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often hope that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my idea. I know my children are going to meet with hard times. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to hope for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

1.With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often __________.

A.kept watering them every day B.paid very little attention to them

C.beat them to make them grow tall D.talked to them to get their attention

2.What does the underlined word “Adversity” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?

A.A happy moment. B.An important position.

C.A difficult situation. D.A dirty environment.

3.What does the author wish for his sons?

A.Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

B.Have an easy, happy and comfortable life.

C.Have good luck, meeting no hardship at all.

D.Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.Growing Roots B.Doctor Gibbs’ Trees

C.Watering Trees D.Helping My Sons

Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’s an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms, and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.

Li is a craftsperson in a rural area of Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grinding them into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it.

Like you and your pet dog, plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow. Unlike you and your dog, they can't run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when they're threatened. But they can fight back.

Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place. Think of plants you've seen growing on steep, rocky cliff (悬崖). Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores (creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery (滑的) parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush.

But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll(叶绿素), which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat.

They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plant releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying "Dinner's ready!" The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant.

Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison.

1.What does the underlined word "convert" mean?

A.Change B.Separate

C.Form D.Produce

2.What do we know from the passage?

A.Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat.

B.A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to place to draw people's attention.

C.Some plants produce tasty leaves to protect their seeds.

D.Plants produce chemicals to meet the needs of big bugs.

3.What may be talked about following the last paragraph?

A.Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters.

B.Different kinds of plants in the world.

C.Why plants make poison?

D.How to protect plants?

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

A.Plant information. B.Plant enemies.

C.Plant poisons. D.Plant protection.

Adopting (领养) a new pet should be an exciting and rewarding experience. But just as all families are different, so are all pets. Learn what to consider before you find your new furry family member.

All pets require their owner’s time, so Theisen, an expert in pet care, says how much time you can give to the pet is the top thing to consider. “If you adopt a 4-year-old cat, she’s not going to need the same amount of care as a 9-week-old dog”. says Theisen.

Like dating and finding the perfect partner, you want a pet that shares your interests and activity levels, particularly if you’re looking for dogs. “Consider activity levels in the family,” says Theisen. “If you’re a couch potato, or in other words, a homebody, look for a pet that matches that activity level.”

Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. The Humane Society of the United States encourages potential owners to research books and websites and talk to other pet owners when considering adopting a new pet.

Theisen says that potential owners should go beyond the first impression of loveliness and watch how the animals interact with them. “There are dogs that will jump to the gate to meet you,” says Theisen. “And there are dogs that sit there with their sad doggy eyes — you know they’re not going to be high-energy dogs”.

Some exotic pets, like tortoises and parrots, are likely to live longer than dogs and cats — and even their human owners. They can also grow to be much larger than they were when they first came to live with their owners. Owners should make sure that their living situations should be continually updated and also prepare for the animal’s future.

1.What will people have to consider first of all when they plan to adopt a pet?

A. The amount of time they can give to the pet.

B. The money that the pet will cost them.

C. Whether the pet is lovely or not.

D. Whether the pet is active or not.

2.The underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.

A. weak. B. noisy.

C. loud. D. inactive.

3.Being a couch potato and not fond of exotic pets, which should Julia choose?

A. Dalmatians. B. Terriers.

C. Parrots. D. Bulldogs.

4.Where is the passage most probably coming from?

A. A guidebook. B. A fashion magazine.

C. A Life magazine. D. An entertainment newspaper.

What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？1.

We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.2.Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.3.If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

4. According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as “That was a very clever thing you did.”or“5.”

A.It needs exercise.

B.You are such a smart child.

C.A healthy body contributes to one’s intelligence.

D.What people want to express is like this.

E.Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.

F.The children are then more likely to grow up brightly and intelligently.

G.These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废物)to make sculptures.“We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here，Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine­Westphalia.

“They are social sculptures，” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far，Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris，in Moscow's Red Square，on the Great Wall of China，and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.

HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world，Schult remains modest about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.”

Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't，or whom artists are or should be.

You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them？Imagine them in any number of new uses，or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.

1.What do we know about Schult's sculptures?

A.They served as garbage containers.

B.They reflected environmental issues.

C.They were first shown in Paris，France.

D.They were to raise economic awareness.

2.HA Schult's artistic works also get the message across that an artist must ________.

A.be socially responsible

B.be as modest as possible

C.make garbage recyclable

D.take diverse artistic forms

3.According to the last 2 paragraphs，the author probably agrees that ________.

A.it takes talent to be a trash artist

B.preset ideas are important to artists

C.trash art can't be seen as a real art form

D.average people can also make trash artists

4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
