Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
An island with beautiful beaches and clear blue water full of colorful fish... this is Socotra(索科特拉岛). It sounds nice,but it doesn’t sound very unusual, doesn’t it? Well, there is a lot more to Socotra than that. You can see things there that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Socotra is in the Indian Ocean, 250 kilometers east of Africa and 340 kilometers south of Yemen. The island separated (分离) from Africa six million years ago, and over that time it has developed its own special plant life. If you travel away from the beautiful beaches and up into the rocky mountains in the middle of the island, you may feel like you're going back in time.
Perhaps you will see the desert rose with its pretty pink flowers. The desert rose is a “bottle" tree. It stores water in its fat trunk. Like many of Socotra's plants, it has developed to survive in the island' s hot, dry weather.
One of the most unusual plants on Socotra is the "dragons’ blood "tree. It is shaped like an umbrella, with a lot of branches under a green top. The tree gets its name from the red sap(树液)that comes out when it is cut. This sap has been used for centuries as a medicine and to make red dye and paint.
Socotra isn't an easy place for tourists to visit. To get there, you need to fly from Yemen. There are only a few Hotels in its largest town, Hadibo, and the island doesn't have many good roads. The people there live a very simple life. But more and more visitors are coming to Socotra to see its special natural beauty.

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):
Jessica and Joyce were best friends in junior grade three. They did almost everything together. Then one day, after a misunderstanding(误解),Joyce stopped talking to Jessica. For more than three months, Joyce refused to talk to Jessica or answer her notes. “During that time, I found out what an important friend she was,” Jessica says, “ I couldn’t even give all my attention to my study, I just thought about how to heal(修复) our friendship. ”
The next term, Jessica tried again. This time,Joyce was also happy to work it out. It took some time and hard work, but the friendship was healed.
Most of us have suffered the pain of broken friendships. But the good news is that most friendships can be healed.
Oxford professor Michael Argyle recently finished a 15 - year study that found out what makes people happy. What did he find? The key to happiness is having one close relationship and network of friends. Other studies show that our social connections make us healthier. Keeping healthy friendship is worth the hard work!
If there’s broken friendship you'd like to heal, try the following advice:
Try to see things from your friend' s point of view.
Talk about the problems openly but kindly.
At first, Jessica didn't understand why Joyce slopped talking to her. Then Joyce finally explained that Jessica’s trick made her upset. “I finally found out she was angry because I made fun of her in front of the boys in our class. " Jessica explained. Jessica meant nothing by her trick and thought it shouldn’t make Joyce upset. But when she realized that it was embarrassing(令人 难堪的)to Joyce, she slopped. Then their friendship could heal.
It’s not strange for friendships to change. Problems come when one friend tries to keep on the other friend lets go. If your friend isn’t ready to work things out, accept it and move on.
1.Why did Joyce and Jessica stop talking to each other?
2.How did Jessica feel when Joyce didn’t want to talk to her?
3.After some time and hard work, Jessica and Joyce became friends again, didn't they?
4.According to Michael Argyle's study, what is the key to happiness?
5.Is it strange or common for friendship to change?
6.If your best friend does not talk to you, what will you do?

Answer the questions.
In 1935, when Emma was five years old, her mother died. Although her brothers and sisters were loving and caring, they were no replacement for a mother’s love. Emma, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family was too poor to afford to buy her a little doll at that time.
After her mother’s death, Emma was determined to look after others. She felt that she could make up for her sad childhood through her dedication(奉献)to her own family. But I knew there was still something missing.
A few days before Christmas in 1989, one customer came to our company with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Lucy. Then I had an idea, I asked the customer to make me a doll for my mother, Emma—a special one with grey hair and glasses—a grandmother doll.
A friend of mine agreed to play Santa(圣诞老人)to deliver the presents to our home on Christmas morning! I began to get ready for what would turn out to be one special day of my mother’s life.
Santa arrived on Christmas Day at the planned time. Lucy was so happy to get the present from Santa. When Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his huge bag and brought out one more present. Then he asked where Emma was. To my mother’s big surprise, she heard her name! He handed her the present and also a message card:
For Emma,
Before my trip this year, I was cleaning my room and found this package. It was supposed to be delivered on December 25, 1935. Many apologies for delivering the present late.
Love,
Santa
She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-four years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks(脸颊). That doll, given by“Santa”,made my mother the happiest“child”that Christmas.
