B
If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（叙旧）with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately， is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
60．The author mainly discusses ______in this passage.
A．how to spend our spare time
B．how to balance friendship and work
C．whether we should keep friendship
D．whether we should invite friends to dinner
61．Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship?
A．You have someone to count on when you are in trouble.
B．You have someone to have close talks with.
C．You have fun when you are with someone.
D．You feel depressed with others in life.
62．What does the underlined word “delegated”（para.7）probably mean?
A．replaced B．appointed C．defeated D．handled
63．The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that_____.
A．you feel it difficult to keep friendship

“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful，” says Plato. Self?control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral (道德上的) freedom.
A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad” “Keep cool”， says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger，” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly(愚蠢) and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self?control is man's last greatest victory.
If a man lacks self?control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self?confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self?control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
1.What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?
A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
B. One's moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
C. To control oneself is the most difficult in one's life.
D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
2.What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”？
A. If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
B. If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
C. If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
D. If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
3.If a man lacks self?control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A. the very backbone and nerve of character?
B. the patience and power to control himself
C. self?confidence
D. strong feelings

STRANGERS parties go wild these days. The main idea of them is to never let the people know who their matches are until the last minute. These are some popular practices that are storming the world’s youth on this V-day.
Speed dating
It’s exactly what the name implies. Complete with a timer, a whistle and 50 willing singles, speed dating is not the traditional dinner and a movie type of first date. Singles pay US $35 for three minutes with more than two dozen future dates. They ask questions and try to get to know each other. At the sound of a whistle, they do the same thing all over again―25 times in all.
Lock and key party
Women are given a lock and men are given a key, upon arriving at the party. Each key and lock has several matches. One can hunt for his/her later-to-be sweetheart in various groups, and try out the key or lock. Each time a lock and key match the pair are entered into a ballot (票数） for top prizes!
Dinner in the dark
Waiters wearing night vision glasses guide the guests through the pitch-black dining room. They are seated at the table and familiarized with the wine glass and plate. Food is handled with the fingers. People will not see the food they are eating or the guests at their table until the dessert course. At that moment, dining partners will appear.
Message party
Have A Cocktail, Leave A Message! When you arrive, you get a tag with a number and a pad of post-it notes. If you see someone you like, write a message on the message board. But wait… You’ve got a message… Go and collect it! You can make new friends and win lots of gifts. The more messages you leave on the bulletin board, the more chances you have of winning prizes.
1.What do you think the similarities of these parties are?
A. All the parties have very strict rules for their members.
B. If you want to go to any of the parties, you have to buy a ticket.
C. All the parties are aimed at strangers who want to be lovers.
D. All the parties are suitable not only for the young but for the old.
2. In which party does a participant have to be careful with the time?
A. Speed dating. B. Lock and key party.
C. Dinner in the dark. D. Message party.
3.If you go to the Dinner in the dark, ________.
A. you have to wear night vision glasses
B. you have to eat with your hands
C. guests eat all the courses in the darkness
D. your dining partners will help you choose the food
4. How many of the parties offer gifts or prizes?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
