If there is one thing that matters in high school－and for your whole life－it is friendships．

My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．

Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．

Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in your life for a long time．

One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna—how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friend ship，not because of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best friend after all．

Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger—and that I still hate now—is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”

It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take part of it．

And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could — and would．

What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over? How do you deal with it?

Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．

47．From the passage we can infer that_____．

A．it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship

B．Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time

C．Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all

D．Ryan would feel puzzled about his real love

48．What do you think the book THE UNWRITTEN RULE is mainly about?

A．Friendship．    B．School life．   C．Love．  D．Wrestling with feelings．

49．What’s the writer’s attitude towards friendship?

A．We will all lose some friends in our life．

B．Ending a friendship is worse than losing a boyfriend．

C．It’s usual when a crack appears．

D．You will eventually move on after you lose a friendship．

At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward，we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.

Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.

When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”，and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.

I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.

1.What did the author learn from her parents?

A. How to become a banker.

B. Where to open a savings account.

C. Where to choose a money box.

D. How to make ends meet.

2.How did the author manage the student allowance?

A. He applied for a credit card.

B. He spent it three times a year.

C. He put it in the bank.

D. He seldom withdrew it.

3.What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”？

A. Reducing her savings.

B. Buying things on sales.

C. Canceling holiday plans.

D. Borrowing money from banks.

4.What’s the text mainly about?

A. Parents，money problems.

B.Students' school performance.

C. Children’s saving behavior.

D. Children’s financial education.

For most pregnant women, exercise is the last thing on their minds. After all, keeping slim while you’re expecting isn’t exactly the top priority— rather, it’s making sure your baby gets enough nutrients to grow. But in a small new study, researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand report that a mother’s regular aerobic exercise may be good for a growing fetus’ health — and may even help a baby get a healthier start in life.

The finding is a bit surprising, because exercise is known to lower the risk of insulin resistance（胰岛素抵抗），a condition eventually leading to diabetes（糖尿病）. Although insulin resistance is a detriment in healthy adults, it turns out to be helpful for proper fetal（胎儿）development. In pregnant women, this condition means nutrients get shunted to the growing baby.

The question is: could a mother’s exercise put her developing baby’s food supply at risk? Past studies looking at the effect of exercise on birth weight have been inconclusive, and none have really investigated the influence of exercise on the mother’s sensitivity to insulin. So the University of Auckland’s Dr. Paul Hoffman and his team decided to study 84 first-time mothers, who were of normal weight on average, and track any effects aerobic exercise(有氧运动) might have on their insulin sensitivity and, ultimately, on their babies’ birth weight. Researchers asked some women to exercise on a stationary bicycle for at least 40 minutes per session, up to five times each week, starting in the 20th week of pregnancy; the other women were not specifically asked to exercise. When the two groups and their babies were compared, the team found that women who bicycled regularly gave birth to babies who were on average 150g lighter than those born to the non-exercising mothers. In both groups, however, the babies were of healthy weight, and there was no difference in the mothers’ weights.

Generally speaking, babies on the lower end of the normal weight range are considered healthier and less prone to developing diabetes and obesity than heavier ones, so this was an encouraging result. Even more reassuring was that regular exercise did not seem to affect the flow of nutrients to the growing babies in the womb.

1.According to the new study, a pregnant woman’s regular exercise may _______.

A. bring benefits to a baby’s growth

B. lower the risk of insulin resistance

C. put her baby’s food supply at risk

D. help her keep slim and healthy

2.What does the underlined word “detriment” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Something that brings good.

B. Something that brings damage.

C. Something that brings obstacles.

D. Something that brings development.

3.What is the purpose of the experiment carried out by Dr. Paul Hoffman?

A. To investigate the influence of exercise on pregnant women.

B. To find out what aerobic exercise can benefit a baby’s growth.

C. To make sure of the effects exercise may have on babies’ birth weight

D. To compare the differences between mothers who exercise and who don’t

4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Lighter babies are generally believed to be healthier than heavier ones.

B. Non­－exercising mothers will definitely give birth to heavier babies.

C. No studies have looked at the effect of exercise on birth weight before.

D. Some women studied were asked to exercise regularly while some don’t.

5.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A. All mothers should take aerobic exercise.

B. Moms who exercise give birth to lighter babies。

C. Exercise reduces the risk of insulin resistance.

D. Heavier babies are more likely to develop diabetes.
