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 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 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 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 their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing 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

An abandoned girl named Sophie happens to see the big friendly giant (巨人) (BFG for short), who is running through the streets of London and “blowing dreams” to children late at night. The BFG is scared that the girl will give away his secret, so he takes Sophie back to his native Giant Country. In fact, the BFG is a kind-hearted vegetarian, but other giants in his native country like nothing more than eating humans. Sophie and the BFG try to stop these giants from continuing to eat humans. During this period, they become good friends.
Spielberg’s The BFG tells the tale of an unlikely friendship brought to life in an imaginary world. However, many people say the story is a bit too kid-friendly. Optimism is Spielberg’s typical tone, but the final victorious battle against the bad guys seems a little bit too easy. And when the BFG fights for the first time against the giants who have been hurting him, it seems confusing how he successfully drives away bad guys who are almost twice his size.
Spielberg does leave a little for adult viewers to digest. The BFG doesn’t want to be seen as a monster by humans，but in the end his own kind ends up caught and locked up in isolation. Will he also be destined (注定) to spend the rest of his days in a remote place alone?
Despite being made for a younger audience, the film is still worth a watch. It doesn’t have gun-fights, death, explosions and the stuff that people seem to be interested in nowadays. But the film takes us back to a more innocent time.
1.Why is Sophie taken to Giant Country?
A. Because she leaks BFG’s secret.
B. Because she happens to see BFG running on the streets.
C. Because she lives a miserable life as an abandoned child.
D. Because she is thought to be likely to tell BFG’s secret to others.
2.What does the underlined phrase ^drives away” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Sends away. B. Breaks away from.
C. Frightens away. D. Keeps away from.
3.What can be inferred from the text?
A. The BFG likes nothing but eating humans.
B. Not every viewer thinks highly of this film.
C. The other giants end up captured and isolated in the film.
D. This film mainly tells the practical friendship between Sophie and the BFG
4.What type of writing is the text?
A. A movie review.
B. An advertisement.
C. An announcement.
D. A fiction.

Carri Kessler and her husband Will named their daughter Ottilie after a friend from the U. K, who helped them a lot. However, right after their baby girl was born, the couple noticed a big problem. “No one could remember her name and no one could pronounce it. We’re going to keep having to introduce her!” Kessler told Today.com.
The situation then grew worse as Kessler’s grandmother admitted to sticking Post-it notes around the house to help remind her of Ottilie’s name which can be pronounced either Ott-ill-ee or Oh-TEEL-ya. Three months after Ottilie was born, the Kesslers have decided to legally change their daughter’s name. The couple came up with two possible names. They then settled on Margot after talking to a name expert.
The Kesslers’ situation is no exception as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their children’s names due to being over popular, mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.
To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their baby’s name. However, parents can change their child’s name in the event that they regret their choice. In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, in Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one. Each of the child’s legal guardians (监护人) must also give permission.
1.Why did Kessler and her husband name their daughter Ottilie?
A. It was very special and unusual.
B. It was at the request at their mother.
C. It was recommended by a name expert.
D. It could remind them of their British friend.
2.What’s the function of the example about the Kesslers?
A. To ask for advice on their situation.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show the background of the text.
D. To stress the importance of a suitable name.
3.What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The Kesslers’ experience is not uncommon.
B. Unfitness is the main reason for changing names.
C. 11% of Canadians are unsatisfied with their babies’ names.
D. Parents always pay more attention to children’s names.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Rules for name change. B. Ways to name babies.
C. Baby name regret. D. A couple’s anxiety.
