     Friendships are some of the most important relationships that we will ever have in our lives. But how to build a solid friendship? Here are five tips for you.
     Tip 1. _____
     True friendships can only be built in honesty. This is more than just telling the truth. Being real and open about who you are and your thoughts and feelings are a part of building a solid friendship. If your "friends" don't even really know you, who are they really friends with?
     Tip 2. Shared Experiences
     As you build your friendship, you will share many experiences together. Some of these may be great
adventures or hard times that the two of you go through together. These shared experiences are things that you will laugh about, talk about, and cry about no matter how much time passes.
     Tip 3. Sacrificial(牺牲精神的)love
     Love is the basis(基础)of all solid relationships. I am not referring to the emotion(情感) of love, but to
the action of love. Love is what will cause a friend to get out of bed in the middle of the night to help
another. Love is what will put aside someone's own wants to make sure that their friend is alright.
     Tip 4. Understanding
     When a friendship is solid, it will be based on each other's understanding. You may not agree with
everything that a friend says or does, but you will be able to put yourself into his or her shoes to begin to
understand. Offering understanding to a friend is very important, as it allows them to feel that they have
someone in their corner that they can talk to and who will offer advice and suggestions, without having to
worry that if they don't always follow it, the friendship will be lost.
     Tip 5. Acceptance
     A solid friendship is one in which two people accept one another, faults and all, for just who they are.
There is no having to build up false excuses, or hide away the "dark secrets" from one another. We
accept each other as whole, complete, and totally unique people.
1. What's the best title of Tip 1?
A. Introduction of yourself.
B. Telling the truth
C. Honesty
D. True friendships
2. Which tip can remind us of an English proverb "Love me, love my dog"?
A. Tip 2.
B. Tip 3.
C. Tip 4.
D. Tip 5.
3. What's the meaning of the underlined part "put yourself into his or her shoes" in Tip 4?
A. Exchange your shoes with his or hers.
B. Try on his or her shoes.
C. Put yourself in his or her position.
D. Force yourself.
4. What's the best title of the whole passage?
A. A solid friendship
B. The most important relationships
C. Five tips for you
D. Tips on how to build a solid friendship

     The right to pursue happiness is issued to us all with our birth, but no one seems quite sure what it is.
     A holy man in India may think that happiness is in himself. It is in needing nothing from outside himself.
If wanting nothing, he lacks nothing. We westerners, however, are taught that the more we have from
outside ourselves, the happier we will be, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty
to want. Advertising, one of our major industries, exists not to satisfy these desires but to create them---
and to create them faster than any man's money in his pocket can satisfy them. Here, obviously someone is trying to buy the dream of happiness and spending millions upon millions every year in the attempt. Clearly the happiness-market is not running out of customers.
     I doubt the holy man's idea of happiness, and I doubt the dreams of the happiness-market, too.
Whatever happiness may be, I believe, it is neither in having nothing nor in having more, but in changing
--- in changing the world and mankind into pure states.
     To change is to make efforts to deal with difficulties. As Yeats, a great Irish poet once put it, happiness we get for a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties.
     It is easy to understand. We even demand difficulty for the fun in our games. We demand it because
without difficulty there can be no game. And a game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it.
The rules of the game are man-made difficulties. When the player ruins the fun, he always does so by
refusing to play by the roles. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to cast away all the rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules.
     The same is true to happiness. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market seem to have lost their
sense of the pleasure of difficulty. Heaven knows what they are  playing, but it seems a dull game. And the Indian holy man seems dull to us, I suppose, because he seems to be refusing to play anything at all.
     The western weakness may be in the dreams that happiness can be bought while eastern weakness
may be in the idea that there is such a thing as perfect happiness in man himself. Both of them forget a
basic fact: no difficulty, no happiness.
1. Who shares the same idea of happiness with the author?
A. The Indian holy man                
B. The great Irish poet Yeats
C. Advertisers
D. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market
2. What does "happiness-market" mean in the second paragraph?
A. It means a place in which people can buy things happily
B. It means a market which lacks happy customers
C. It means a pure state for the world and mankind
D. It means a market where people try to buy happiness with money.
3. According to the passage, which of the following is Right?
A. The Indian holy man is much happier than westerner.
B. The westerners understand happiness better than the Indian holy man.
C. There is no fun without playing by the rules
D. Both the eastern weakness and western weakness are the same.

     People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep
good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more style than the rest of us.
     So what's their self-confidence's secret? There isn't one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident
role models have a head start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident
at any age.
     Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your confidence levels:
     Dare to fail. Anybody who's out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you're not failing, you're not trying. So don't take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to roll with it and use its
lessons to keep improving.
     When in doubt, pretend you know what your are doing. Because if you are confident of your abilities,
by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.
     Dress for success. You don't have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique
physical characters and weaken your disadvantages so that you know you're giving out your best image.
     Listen to be yourself. You're the only person who knows what's right for you. Don't put others'
opinions above your own inner voice.
     Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny
weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with
you.
     Pass on praise. Praise others for their virtues and strength. This practice will not decrease your
confidence, but help increase it.

     [1] What do you do to take care of the books in your library? Some collectors refuse to read the
books in their collection; so the books remain in good condition. Others buy two copies of a book: they
read one, and leave the other untouched. However, many readers must read their books, but they still want to protect and care for the volumes. Here are some tips to remember if you want your books to remain in good condition.
     [2] Avoid Writing. You may have been told to write in your books, or even to underline words,
phrases, and paragraphs. But if you plan to keep the book, add it to your library, or even sell it - don't
write in the book. The ink may damage your book forever. Use a notebook to take notes or use pieces of paper. If you are required to write in your book, use a pencil, and remove the markings later.
     [3] Avoid Food and Drinks. Food and drinks are things that may be dangerous to your books, so the
best way is to avoid eating or drinking while you read. If you need to read while you eat, make sure your
fingers are clean and dry as you hold the book or turn the pages. Also, keep the book well away from the
food and drinks.
     [4] Take Care. When you handle your book, hold it with care. When you read the book, don't fold
down the corners of the pages (use a bookmark instead). Don't place your book with the book open,
face-down. You'd better use a book cover to keep your book in the best condition.

     In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her
second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.
     The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to
practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's
license(驾照).
     Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel(steering wheel) and practice starting,
steering(驾驶), backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers(操作)
required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students and the
instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time
per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
     Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the driver's
side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into
difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a
sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution
(谨慎)because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to(易于…的)
driving slowly.
     After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate(适当的)age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a
designated(指定的)state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a
written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors a
nd get a driver's license.
1. In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.
A. considered as part of the advanced education
B. given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license
C. carried on at the same time as other courses
D. required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
2. To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.
A. has a sign inside it

C. is big enough to hold five persons
D. can't run very fast
3. We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.
A. go out driving for twelve times
B. spend at least six hours driving
C. drive for two-hour blocks of time
D. get half an hour driving
4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?
A. They must be 16 years of age.
B. They should go to have their driver's course.
C. They must have their eyes examined.
