              A

Have you ever felt that you want more friends? Have you found that you don’t know how to make friends? Don’t worry. It’s easier than it looks.

Start with small actions. If you’re uncomfortable with long conversations with people, start by just saying “hi” and asking what the person is doing. Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning, people will usually still like you. When it comes to conversations, remember “F.O.R.”. It stands for family, occupation(职业) and recreation(休闲). You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new. Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics. The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.

Honesty is the best policy. In friendship, “honesty” is the fundamental quality that one must have. One should always be honest with his or her friends. Don’t laugh at people’s fault. Praise them honestly and openly. Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.

Give more than you take. Be there when they need you, encourage them; we all need encouragement now and then. Encourage their dreams. Life seems meaningless without them. Wish your friends good luck. Examine your purpose before you “help out”. Love and never forget them.

1. The author thinks making friends is _________.

A. difficult       B. easy     C. funny    D. interesting

There was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn’t want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.

The man said, “I don’t sing.”

But the customer was persistent (固执的). He told the bar manager, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!”

The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”

So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song — “Mona, Mona Lisa”. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.

He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he had become one of the best-known singers in America.

You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the singer above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!

A. Because he wanted to make more money.

B. Because the bar manager said he liked his song.

A. He didn’t discover his talent.   B. He didn’t sing. 

C. He had no talent for singing.    D. He hated to sing.

I came to work in New York about three years ago. Not long after I came to the city I learnt a good lesson.

    I'm good at making friends. Soon after I came to New York, I made some very good friends. Loving parties, I often invited my colleagues and friends over. We often had fun together till late night. But people in the building disliked it. I was considered as a black sheep in the building.

    One night, when I was throwing a big party for some Chinese students in New York, a neighbor could no longer stand the noise and he called the police. The police came, and many of my neighbors came, too. It was an unhappy night.

    However, some days later, I found something very unbelievable. My neighbor Sam threw a big birthday party in his apartment. They sang and danced till midnight. But nobody went to ask them to stop the party. Feeling confused (疑惑的), I went to Sam the next morning and asked him why he could throw a party for his friends while I couldn't. He didn't say anything. Instead, he took me to a notice board in the hall of the building. It said, "My dear neighbors, Sam living on the sixth floor will throw a party tonight. About twenty people will come. We'll sing and dance. The party will be over around midnight. We may make some noise tonight. Please accept my apology."

    He apologized even before the party began. People felt respected in this way. And that was why nobody bothered them that night.

A. He didn't love parties at all.               

B. He never had parties late into the night.

C. He called the writer at once.           

D. He called his neighbors for help.

 

9. When the writer learnt nobody asked Sam to stop the party, he most probably felt______.

   A. happy   B. worried         C. excited      D. surprised

10. How did Sam help the writer know why nobody bothered him that night?

A. By taking him to the neighbors.             

B. By taking him to a notice board.

C. By giving reasons to him carefully. 

D. By telling him an unbelievable story.

Great changes have been taken place over the past five years in myhometown, that is a famous historic city. The streets used to be narrow, filling with small shops. Rubbish can be seen everywhere.
