    In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
    Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
    At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
    Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
    There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
    When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

    People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on earth. And they celebrate them in many different ways.
    In China and in Japan, for example, the arrival of New Year is more important than a person’s birthday. So everyone adds a year to celebrate their ages on New Year’s Day, instead of on their birthdays,
    In Brazil, the special birthday food isn’t cake, but special candles. In China, it’s long noodles—for long life. In Iceland, people have pancakes with candies rolled inside them on birthdays.
    In Britain, a birthday is an all-day celebration. At school, the birthday child is lifted up and “bumped” by his classmates. This means the child is lifted by the feet and arms and bumped to the ground, once for each year once for good growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is lifted and lowered while sitting in a chair.
    In Holland, children not only get presents, but also give things out. They give cakes, cookies and candles to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays.
    In Mexico, it’s good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it’s usual for the birthday child to be woken up at midnight by fiends singing birthday songs.
    In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. Prayers and blessings must be said before morning comes.
    In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before the birthday. One is as tall as the birthday person. If it goes out early, it’s bad luck. Another customs of Thailand is that they buy live fish and birds for the birthday person and then the birthday person frees the animals, and it brings good luck.
    In Nigeria, people in a certain age group celebrate their birthdays together, on a certain day.
    In many countries birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to western style of birthdays, with candle topped cakes. But one thing never changes—birthdays are special days for everyone!
    小题1:It’s a custom to lift and lower the birthday person in a chair in _____.
    A．BritainB．Israel
    C．Britain and IsraelD．Israel and Thailand
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    B．In Holland people give presents to unbirthday persons on their birthdays.
    C．In Nigeria people who were born in the same period may celebrate their birthdays on the same day.
    D．In Thailand a candle will be lighted on the birthday night.

    Many rural areas in the United States have no doctor. Some medical schools are trying different ways to treat the problem . One idea is to educate doctors in smaller communities and hope they stay. Dr. William Cathcart-Rake heads a new program at the University of Kansas in the Midwest.
    “We need more doctors. There’s somewhere like a quarter of all of our physicians in Kansas who are sixty years of age or older. So we need to be replacing physicians, too.”Says Dr. William Cathcart. He also says medical students from rural areas now typically study in Wichita or Kansas City, two of the biggest cities in Kansas. They say, “You know, I really have every intention of coming back to rural Kansas,”but they meet a soul mate, they get married, their soul mate happens to be from a big city and we never see them again. They get captured in the big city. Hopefully, if we train them in smaller communities, they can meet the future spouses here , they can network here, and they have those connections which can hopefully be lifelong.
    The program is based in Kansas’ tenth largest city , Salina, home to about fifty thousand people. Salina is about a three-hour drive from Kansas City, past fields of corn, soybeans and cattle.
    Student Claire Hinrichsen grew up in a town of about six hundred people. She attended the University of Kansas, or KU, as an undergraduate. One reason why the chose the Salina program is because of the size. There are only eight students—the smallest medical school in the country. Classes are taught by professors in Salina or on a video link from Kansas City or Wichita.
    Students who complete the four year program will then do their residency training in a small community in the surrounding area. One place a resident might work is the Clay Center Clinic, where Dr. Kerry Murphy is a family physician.
    Rural doctors generally serve older, poorer patients. Going into a specialty in a big city can mean better working hours and more money to pay off student loans.
    The Salina program will pay tuition for each year that students practice in a rural area in Kansas.
    小题1:What does the underlined word “spouses”in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A．Wives husbands.B．Homes.C．Families.D．Physicians.
    小题2:The reason why the medical students don’t want to go back to rural areas is that    .
    A．they don’t like to live in the rural Kansas
    B．there are not many girls in the rural Kansas
    C．they found their soul mates in cities
    D．the life in rural Kansas is so hard
    小题3:From the text we learn that   .
    A．Salina has a population of 500,000
    B．a quarter of all physicians in Kansas are too old for the ideal doctors
    C．William Cathcart-Rake heads a new program in rural Kansas
    D．Educating more doctors in cities can settle the problem
    小题4:Why did student Claire Hinrichsen choose the Salina program?
    A．Because she found her soul mate in rural Kanas.
    B．Because she likes to work as a doctor.
    C．Because she grew up in a town of 6,000 people.
    D．Because she likes the size of the program.
    小题5:What is the purpose of the passage?
    A．To make it known that it lacks doctors very much in rural Kansas.
    B．To introduce a program handling the lack of doctors in rural Kansas.
    C．To train students to become doctors for rural Kansas.
    D．To meet the demands of doctors for many rural towns in Kansas.

    It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商业的) world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial (金钱的) considerations.
    Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.
    The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.
    Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more important, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潜力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
    小题1:By “a one-way street” in Paragraph 1, the author means ______.
    A．university researchers know little about the commercial world
    B．few university professors are willing to do industrial research
    C．few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university
    D．there is little exchange between industry and academia
    小题2:The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to “something that ______”.
    A．helps to move the trafficB．attracts people’s attention
    C．brings someone a financial burdenD．keeps someone from taking action
    小题3:What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
    A．Less work hours.
    B．More freedom to choose research fields.
    C．Better prospects of a commercial return.
    D．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.
    小题4:What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?
    A．Make its research more practical.
    B．Develop its students’ potential in research.
    C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry.
    D．Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.
