One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!
1.While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should ________.

Robots make me nervous — especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.
Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”
Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!
Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals, the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.
It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.
I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!
1.The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text ________.
A. better-known
B. more persuasive
C. better-organized
D. more interesting
2.An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because ________.
A. it is much cleverer than us
B. it would take over the world
C. it would see us just as material
D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us
3.How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?
A. Optimistic.B. Sympathy.C. Disappointed.D. Regretful.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent, stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.
The 57-year-old, father-of-three, revealed on the Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteenth birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the self-made billionaire explained.
He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining:“All the other kids have it. I’m the only one without it, and it’s so embarrassing.”
Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts, Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer, 16, who he describes as “independent”.
He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now.”
Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, just outside Seattle, Washington, have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.
It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.
And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intended to give most of his $ 61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down. “That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” he said.
Also during the “Today” Interview with host Matt Lauer, Mr Gates, who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy (慈善事业) , said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.
“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it－it lets them get their work done in better ways－that’s exciting,” he explained.
1.Bill Gates will not let his children own a cell phone ________.
A. until they reach the age of 13
B. if they don’t really need one
C. unless they do some housework
D. before they become independent
2.Which of the following is true about Bill Gates’ children?
A. All his children now have cell phones.
B. Phoebe has her own cell phone.
C. They are not given any pocket money.
D. Jennifer can use the Internet freely.
3.What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the text?
A. Being a parent as a billionaire.
B. Handing all his money down to his children.
C. Allowing his children to have their phones.
D. Giving away all his money to good causes.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. How Bill Gates made himself a billionaire.
B. How Bill Gates deals with his money.
C. How Bill Gates managed his business.
D. How Bill Gates brings up his children.

Tips on Homework
What do you do when you just can’t get yourself to do homework? You know it has to be done. However, it is the last thing on which you want to spend your time. 1. Here are some tips to improve your motivation to study.
Set goals for yourself. 2. Start by setting goals you know you can achieve easily. For instance, a goal such as getting straight A’s on your next report card would be nice, but it is a major goal. An easier one would be taking a page of notes for your report.
Set a schedule for studying and write it down. Why write it down? Something about the written words makes it harder to ignore. Once you’ve written it down, you’ll do it.
Do the homework you dislike the most first. 3. However, if you have a number of small assignments and one major assignment to work on, doing the small ones first will make it seem like you are making progress more quickly.
4. You could “allow” yourself to go to a movie on Friday night if you get your History project completed by then, or you could take a snack break once you get the first thirty Maths questions completed.
Find a way to turn your homework assignments into something that interests you. 5. I you have to do geometry homework, think about how you could use it when you want to become a building designer. If you are researching Russia and your interest is in wildlife, find out what species you would find there.
A. Use rewards to mark your progress.
B. Do physical exercises during study breaks.
C. They don’t have to be big ones, in fact, the smaller the better.
D. How are you going to get yourself motivated and what is the best way?
E. If you have a choice of topics, choose something you’ve always wanted to learn about.
F. Also, if there is homework you find most difficult, do it first while your mind is still fresh.
G. If your friends ask you to hang out when you have homework to do, stay home and do the work.

Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never ________. You can ________ about writing the great American play, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to ________.

Dear Liu Jun,
How are you? I have studied in Detroit for almost one year, when the teachers and students are very friend with me. With their help, I’ve made a great progress in my studies.

All kind of lights on at night, Detroit is extreme beautiful. The people there live at a fast pace. They are always on the go, so they have less time chat with each other.
How is everything with you? I’d like to hear about you soon.

I will share one experience with you. With the college Entrance Examination draw near, I was filled with great anxiety. However, I couldn’t be absorbed in study, resulting from my failing in the examination. I got very discouraging. Just then, my teacher, Miss Zhang, approached me and said, “In life we all have moments when we can’t achieve what we want to. It is natural. Don’t allow those moments to weaken you, and turn them into motivation to inspire yourself.” Her words were reminder that provided me with constant encouragement to smile at life. Consequently, I gained that I deserved.
So it is an optimistic attitude which matters most of all. It gives you the confidence to deal with difficulties and to achieve what you want in your life.

Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.
1.It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that ________.
A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020
B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries
C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol

2.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?
