Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

Sooner or later, every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend, you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding.

A. they don’t know friendship is something serious.

B. there are too many people who want to make friends.

C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others.

D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others.

65. According to the passage honesty is ________.

       TAIBEI—Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.

       According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.

       The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities . “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.

       A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there.”

       Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.

       At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities.

1. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because____.

       A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later

       B. the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan

       C. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future

       D. there are many famous universities for them to choose

2. Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children____.

       A. could receive better education

       B. could learn more about the policy there

       C. could do well in the business operations

3. The underlined word “it ”(para 3)refers to ____.
