Too many people want others to be their friends, but they dont 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 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 havent been honest, you may lose your friends trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money on your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone 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 friends 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.
24. Why dont some friendships last very long?
A. There is little real friendship in fact. B. There are some people who are not friendly.
C. Some people dont treat friendship seriously. D. Some people want to receive rather than give friendship.
25. According to Paragraph 2, honesty is ____ .
A. the base of friendship B. as important as friendship
C. something understandable D. more important than trust
26. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Generosity and interest. B. Hobbies and friendship.
C. Your ideas and feelings. D. Your clothes and lunch money.
27. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. How to be a friend. B. Honesty and generosity.
C. The best policy to be honest. D. Three important points in life.
C
Whenever were introduced to strangers, we make quick decisions without careful thought about them according to our first impressions. Are they attractive? Or how much do they earn?
For most Brits, simply asking someone how much he or she is worth financially is considered very impolite. Thankfully, most people are kind enough to drop several hints (暗示) about their relative wealth or successful careers. They always post on social media about flying to a meeting for work. Theyre always wearing clothes with labels big enough to silently scream about how rich they are and how well theyre doing.
Its a worrying trend, and Im not immune to it. Ive felt the warm happiness of knowing I earn more than somebody, and the baseless anger of knowing that I earn less than another. Ive checked into places while I know full well that anybody reading it will get jealous (忌妒的).
It seems as though self-worth is increasingly being tied to the careers we choose and the money we earn. A study in 2020, for example, found that nearly 17% of unemployed Americans were depressed compared to almost 6% of those who had a permanent job. We need to stop placing so much value on what a person earns. Dont get me wrong—being ambitious (有野心的) is not a fault, and achievements should always be celebrated. But when people use their success to judge you negatively, it becomes a problem.
If you want to know what youre really worth, heres a tip: It doesnt have anything to do with your bank account. Its about how many times youve been there for your friends. Its about how many times youve been kind to a stranger. Its every time you did something unselfish, or told your partner you loved him/her, or treated someone with respect no matter where he or she was in his or her own life.
28. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us most Brits ____ .
A. are polite in some way B. are wealthy and successful
C. tend to show off their wealth or career D. love asking others about wealth
29. What does the underlined word “immune” in Paragraph3 probably mean?
A. Used. B. Unaffected. C. Addicted. D. Attracted.
30. What does the example of the study in 2020 show?
A. People think self-value isnt tied to wealth or career.
B. People tend to think wealth and career reflect self-value.
C. People tend to feel depressed because of their unemployment.
D. People get to stop placing so much value on wealth and career.
31. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?
A. To convince us what self-value lies in. B. To explain why we show off our wealth.
C. To tell us how we deal with our wealth and career. D. To help us know how to choose careers and earn money.
D
In life, were often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be. Yet, while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their “ideal self”, a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion.
Inspired by research published in the 1990s, psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study, which proved that regrets came from what people hadnt done, by looking into the content of peoples most enduring (持久的) regrets grown from not living up to our “ideal self”, as opposed to not living according to our “ought self”.
Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the “ideal self” and the “ought self”, before asking participants to list their regrets. Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project, participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often. They also mentioned more ideal-self regrets than ought-self regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far.
“Our work is the first to show that peoples biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self,” the researchers said. They advise that people go on with caution, as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self. If you care more about your ought self, youll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment.
Despite this research, however, knowing what you want and pursuing (追求) that passion (熱情) are two different things. Maybe youll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didnt do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, and catch the trade winds in your sails.”
32. What did Thomas original study prove?
A. People didnt take a risk in life. B. People lived up to their ideal self.
C. People regretted what they hadnt done. D. People regretted pursuing their passion.
33. How was the researchers new study carried out?
A. By analyzing six different studies. B. By analyzing peoples various responses.
C. By explaining the difference among regrets. D. By comparing ideal-self and ought-self regrets.
34. What did the researchers advise people to do?
A. Think twice about their ideal life. B. Care more about their own life.
C. Live according to their choice. D. Look back now and then.
35. Mark Twains words suggests everyone should ____ .
A. stop themselves from getting disappointed B. have the courage to pursue their goals
C. make full use of their surroundings D. live up to their ought self

What is the best way for teens to make money? I would say the best way to make money for a teen is using the Internet. You can sell junk in your house on www.ebay.com to start with, and then look for wholesale (批发的) products to sell regularly.
The other way is to start your own information publishing business. You can start this business from your spare bedroom and it doesnt matter at what age you start. Because you will be making more money than the rest of your family put together when you are just a teenager and people envy (羨慕) you. It is a great feeling when you earn more in a month than most people do in a year.
The good thing is that you can get the product free from the public area and sell it for $97 or more without any problem.
If you want to be able to sell your information product, the best way is through your own mini website.
The thing you need to do, once you have your product and website set up, is that you need to be able to capture (采集) peoples e-mail addresses, as this is where your big money comes from.
A. You will also need a website.
B. In fact, the younger, the better.
C. Next, you need to find a product to sell.
D. You can do a number of different things on it.
E. Thats one way you can go to start making money.
F. You will understand the ways for teens to make money.
G. It doesnt matter if you have the best website in the world.

It is know to all that we students of today has to fix our attention on our lessons, so we knew little of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up for that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in books and in class cant have such an important effect on us what we have learned through personal practice. In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both knowledge or practical ability. Beside, when we take part-time jobs, we may get paid more or less to help their family. Thus, I will say senior school students should take part-time jobs in their holidays, if possibly.
