Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoyments, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. 1. Some friendships don’t last very long because_______. A. they don’t know friendship is something serious B. there are too many people who want to make friends
C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others
D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others 2. According to the passage, honesty is________.

Always tell your friend the truth.
B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
C. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
D. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem. 4. What does the word “them” refer to in the third paragraph?
A. your ideas and feelings. B. your hobbies and interests. C. your lunch money and clothes. D. your clothes and enjoyments. 5. The best title of this passage is________.

My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.
We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.
It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.
We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.
I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there. 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The writer showed great interest in visiting Ireland at first. B. It was the first time for the writer to visit Ireland. C. The writer went to Ireland with his uncle. D. The car was driven by the writer’s uncle.
2. Which of the following could best show that the writer was really interested in Kilkenny?
A. There were so many strangers there to meet. B. There were so many beautiful pictures there to take. C. We thought we might be bored in Kilkenny. D. We loved every minute we were there. 3. What can we know from the third paragraph? A. The Titanic was filmed in Cobh. B. The food in Cobh was delicious.
C. The writer knew nothing about Brave Heart. D. The writer visited the Trim Castle alone. 4. What does the underlined word “adequately” in the last paragraph mean? A. properly B. strongly C. warmly D. surprisingly 5. Where does the article most probably come from?
A. A scientific fiction. B. A tourist magazine. C. A poem. D. A poster.
C
Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out .
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈)can lead. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was“quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms，Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的）information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物）in the world.
In 2006，Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本）of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
Luck favors the prepared mind Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work，but when they do，you have to seize(抓住）the chance.” 1. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

A. Sir John Gurdon B. Shiny a Yamanaka. C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka

八、Yancheng is a city in the north of Jiangsu . It is famous for its wetlands. The biggest wetland there has an area of more than 45,000 hectares. It’s an ideal home for many rare birds.
There are a lot of insects and many kinds of plants in the wetland. They provide birds with enough food. （So） there are lots of birds living in the wetlands. A lot of red-crowned cranes stay here all rear round.
Now the number of birds is getting smaller and smaller. We should take actions to protect our wetlands. If we don’t, it will be impossible to see many rare birds in the future.
