In most of the time, I am devoted to my research in the lab with my friend Dave, who loves traveling very much. To make our life colorful and relax ourselves, in July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing (度假) in hotels.

We have to plan very carefully in advance. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we have decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us to prevent insects (昆虫) from hurting us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we have to decide on the direction (方向) we want to drive.

The date we are leaving is July 2, from which day we will have two months off.  We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers. We want to visit many cities and talk to many people, which I am sure can enrich our experience greatly. We also want to find a hotel room if it rains at night. We expect to have an exciting trip.

1. The two friends are going to take a camping trip ________.

2.Which of the following statements is possibly true?

3. We learn from the second paragraph that ________.

4. It is quite clear that ________.

5. If they are caught in the rain , they will ________.

My grandmother often said to me, “You can count the number of your true friends on the fingers of one hand.” For a long time I thought this was true. However, I’ve now discovered my grandmother was only half right. Maybe we do only make a few “best” friends in our lifetime, but those aren’t the only people that we can call friends. There are many different types. Let me tell you about a few of them.

One type of friends is the type I call the “football mom friend”. My neighbor Sally is a good example. We both have kids who play football in a football club, and someone has to take them to practice and pick them up. Sally and I and two other mothers take turns to do this. We meet sometimes and have tea and talk about what our kids are doing, but those are the only times that we meet each other. I enjoy being with these women, but we don’t do anything else together.

Another type is called the “hobby friend”. That’s the person you share an interest or a hobby with. Michael and Cater, who are brothers, are a good example of this type. We’re all in a bird watching club. Every few weekends the members of the club go on a trip to watch different kinds of birds. There’s nothing romantic（浪漫的）about my relationship with Michael and Cater, of course. We just share interest in birds.

Then there’s the “other half of the couple” type of friends. Jim is married to Rose, a friend that I’ve known since college. When Rose married Jim, I realized that I would have to be Jim’s friend if I want to continue to be Rose’s. Jim and I don’t share so many interests, but we do have a friendly relationship.

1.What does the first paragraph tell us about?

A. We need true friends in our lifetime.

B. We have few best friends in our lifetime.

C. We should make new friends.

D. We must be friendly to all our friends.

2.Many people are mentioned in this passage. Who is the writer’s true friend?

A. Sally.            B.　 Michael.         C.　 Jim.         D.　 Rose.

3.Which of the following statements is RIGHT?

A. Finally the writer agrees with her grandmother.

B. Michael and Cater both fall in love with the writer.

C. The writer herself sometimes takes her kid to the football club.

D. Sally and the writer are close friends.

4.How many types of friends are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2.                B.　 3.            C.　 4.            D. 5

5.From the last paragraph we learn that ________.

A. the writer made friends with Jim only because of Rose

B. Jim was the writer’s good friend at college

C. Rose didn’t want the writer to be a friend of her husband

D. the writer made friends with Rose because of Jim

My grandmother seems to be wrong when she says that good manners will never go out of style.

Several days ago, I tried entering a lift with one of my arms fixed in a bandage(绷带) while carrying a computer bag in the other. Not being fast enough, I was passed by two young people who managed to get into the lift before me. The lift door closed only after I entered. Having already pressed their wanted floor button, the young people waited impatiently for me to press the button for where I was going. If they had decided to help, we could have moved much faster. But they had not. So I did my best and pressed the button with my arm. The two young people looked very angry with me. I was losing heart.

The memory of this incident has stayed with me because it followed shortly after my building’s watchman refused to help me carry a heavy box full of books. His answer was that he could not carry the books a few meters because it was not his job. However, I remembered myself helping people for so many years carrying boxes, shopping bags, or pushing wheelchairs upon the request of a stranger in need or when my conscience(良心) called on me. "Oh, this young generation, they have no manners, ”my grandmother would say. The idea of good manners refers to the considering of other people’s feelings. We need more and more people to have good manners. Good manners should be-come part of our lives.

1.The author believes that ________.

A．good manners will never go out of style

B．her grandmother is right

C．good manners are disappearing little by little

D．it never rains, but it pours

2.How did the two young people feel when the author pressed the button?

A．Excited.           B．Angry.            C．Sad.              D．Confident.

3.The watchman didn’t help the author because ______.

A．the box was full of books

B．the box was too heavy

C．the author was a stranger

D．he thought it was not his job

4.We can infer from the passage that the author ______.

A．always offers help to people in need

B．always has difficulty carrying things

C．has a better memory than anyone else

D．agreed with her grandmother at first
