Question

6．Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch．Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you．Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by．Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief．A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated．
●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt，the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated．When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship，you'll be blessed in untold ways．
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day，but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well．Maybe a loved one lost his job，her boss reprimanded her unjustly，he's coming down with the flu，or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs．
Whatever the cause of the rudeness，you don't have to accentuate（突出） the problem．A kind word or a gentle，understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would．
●Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good．On the other hand，a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being．
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies．However，a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom．Instead of being an enemy，a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had．
This kind of thinking，along with a little attitude adjustment，helps you to convert foes to friends，and both of you are better off．
●Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist，someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it？The answer is obvious．Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today，rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday．
●Capturing the pleasing personality
    How do you develop a pleasing personality？Here are some steps you can take：
Smile when you see someone．You don't have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant，friendly smile．
Speak in a pleasant，upbeat tone of voice．Talk to people as if they are good friends，even if they don't really fall into that category yet．
Take a course in public speaking．The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources．
Develop a sense of humor．Pick up a couple of joke books．This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly．
●Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time，take the humane and sensible approach．Look for the good in others．Encourage them．Build them up．
    Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view．If you take the time and effort to do this，you'll end up befriending more people．

点评 阅读填空题分为五个类型：（1）中心归纳题：中心归纳题属于综合概括题，主要位于表格的标题处．这类题要求考生在弄懂全文的内容后，抓住文章的中心，然后对中心进行高度浓缩、概括，从而成为统领全文的标题．由于词数被限制在三个单词以内，因此这类题难度较大．考生必须具备对文章进行综合分析、归纳概括以及准确表达的能力．这类试题在考题中通常只占1题．（2）段意概括题：包括purpose/aim/goal； topic/theme； suggestion/advice； type/kind； way/means/method； effect/result； cause/reason； feature/characteristic； function/use； comment/assessment等．这类试题在考题中一般占2-3题．（3）功能理解题：功能理解题属于理解表达题．这类题主要考查考生对句子、信息在文章中所起作用的理解．
