When I was 9， we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow， London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days， I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank， at an eastern bend in the Thames， is the center of British skateboarding， where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite： Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once， when trying a certain trick on the beam （横杆）， I fell onto the stones， damaging a nerve in my hand， and Toby came over， helping me up： Safe， man. Safe. A few minutes later， when I landed the trick， my friends beat their boards loud， shouting： “Safe！ Safe！ Safe！” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks， being a good skater.

When I was 15， my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there， but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years， I’d given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004， I found myself wandering down to Southbank， spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since， most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear： tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving （穿梭） among the kids who rushed by on their boards， I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager， in a baggy white T-shirt， skidded （滑） up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago，” I told him. Then， slowly， he began to nod his head. “Safe， man. Safe.”

“Yeah，” I said. “Safe.”

C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.

2. What do the underlined words “Safe！ Safe！ Safe！” probably mean？

A. Be careful！ B. Well done！ C. No way！ D. Don’t worry！

3. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London？

A. To relive his childhood days. B. To join the skateboarding.

One of the biggest keys to happiness is having strong interpersonal relationships. I believe that relationships are key to leading a meaningful life. ， like anything worth having in life. Now， let’s look at how we can keep strong interpersonal relationships.

Be open

Any strong relationship requires the willingness to be open. This means the ability and desire （渴望） to share what you’re thinking and your feelings about different subjects. . When you are open and willing to share， it shows the other person that you care about the relationship and that you want to create a closer connection.

One of the deepest human desires is to feel understood. When you show understanding towards someone else， you are showing that you care enough to try to understand how they feel. And that goes a really long way to keeping strong relationships.

Be respectful

To help build and keep strong relationships， you will need to be respectful. If you are on a team at work， things will go so much better and the friendships will develop stronger if you are respectful to the others in the group. .

Be available

. Time is the one thing we all have the same amount of—the same 24 hours a day， the same amount of days in a week and so on. How you choose to spend that time says a lot about you. And being available shows that you value someone enough to give your time to them.

A. Be a good listener

B. Show understanding

C. Giving your time is like giving a gift

D. It really makes a lot of sense if you think about it

E. They take some work to develop and keep， though

F. Showing you are grateful to others makes the relationship stronger

G. Work towards being respectful of others in general and certainly in closer relationships

At each stage of our life， we meet different kinds of people. The people （call） “best friends” are just these special friends.

In our childhood， “best friends” might have meant the persons who are always by our side， whether in the classroom in the dining hall. However， as we are getting older before， our definition （定义） of “best friends” changes. my opinion， best friends are those who love you for who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go， but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

True friends should be those who will never give you up when you need them most. They are always there （wait） for you and they love you when you forget to love （you）. The best feeling in the whole world （be） knowing that there is a person who always prays for us and always keeps us in his thoughts.

A

Two parents in very different circumstances （境况） told me their worries. One was a Google executive in New York City， who said， “I’m worried that my kids are growing up with too much money. How do I keep them from throwing their money around？” The second was a single mom from Los Angeles. She explained that her son was asking her for $150 to buy jeans so that he could fit in with the cool crowd， and she didn’t know what to do.

To both parents I gave the same answer： Start talking about the value of money， the same way you’d teach your kid to tell the truth or be kind to others. Make sure they know what matters most to your family when it comes to money. Yes， we could afford fancy jeans， but they’re not a priority for us.

When it comes to day-to-day lessons， the best way to teach your kids the value of a dollar is to give them actual dollars. When my daughter was 13， she wanted to go shopping with friends for back-to-school clothes. The other parents gave their girls a credit card or a debit card （借記卡） with a spending limit. Me？ I embarrassed my daughter by handing her $50… in cash. The reason： I knew that when she got to the checkout line with more than $50 worth of goods， she’d have to make hard choices and put something back.

Additionally， sometimes it’s what you don’t do for your kid that counts. I will never forget the brave woman audience at an event who asked me the question： “Should I get my son an Amex Platinum card？ All his friends use theirs to get into first-class airport lounges （等候室） when they travel.” “No，” I said. Always remember， you’re the parent. You set the rules. And the rules will determine how your kid values money in the future.

1. The two parents worried about how to .

A. instruct their kids to make money B. teach their kids the value of money

C. refuse their kids’ requests for money D. raise their kids with less money

2. What do the underlined words “a priority” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. The most valuable gift. B. A way to hide the truth.

C. The most important thing. D. An excuse to please others.

3. What suggestion does the author give to parents in Paragraph 3？

A. Letting their kids pay in cash. B. Limiting their kids’ pocket money.

C. Asking their kids to report their spending. D. Reminding their kids to make a shopping list.

4. What did the author ask the woman to do in the last paragraph？

A. Protect her kid’s self-respect. B. Be strict about her kid’s spending.

C. Help her kid fit in with his friends. D. Spend money wisely to influence her kid.

Jeffrey Hall， a teacher of Communications from the University of Kansas （KU）， has used his research to define （明確） the exact amount of time necessary to make friends with someone. He’s also found how long it will take to deepen a relationship. His new study found that it takes around 50 hours of time together to go from being someone’s acquaintance （泛泛之交） to casual friend. It takes about 90 hours to go from being casual friends to friends， and more than 200 hours before considering someone a close friend or best friend.

But it isn’t spending just any kind of time together that deepens a friendship—hours spent working together， for example， don’t count as much as hours spent getting to know someone by hanging out， joking around， playing video games， and doing more playful activities. The study explains that these kinds of activities help us to form a deeper connection with someone. “We have to put that time in，” Hall said. “You can’t make a friend without any effort.”

The results of the study come from analysis of 355 responses to an online survey from adults who said they had moved in the last six months and were looking for new friends in their new homes. Survey participants were asked about new relationships as well as hours spent together and activities they did. They were then asked to rate their resulting relationships according to one of four stages： acquaintance， casual friend， friend and close friend.

The main conclusion that Hall came to is that making close friends takes serious effort. So if you want to have some best friends， you have to know that spending time with someone is the most important thing.

5. How long does it take to turn an acquaintance into a friend？

A. About 50 hours. B. About 90 hours. C. About 140 hours. D. About 200 hours.

6. The underlined words “that time” in Paragraph 2 refer to “time spent  ”.

A. working together B. finding new friends

C. helping a new friend D. doing fun things together

7. Which may help deepen a friendship according to the study？

A. Trying to understand your friend’s feelings. B. Enjoying quality time with your friend.

C. Treating a new friend like a close one. D. Being generous to your friend.

8. What is the main purpose of the text？

A. To solve a relationship problem. B. To introduce a teacher from KU.

C. To present the findings of a new study. D. To discuss the importance of friendship.

The fable describes a story between an ant and a dove. The two become good friends by helping each other.

The fable tells us that considered unimportant， some friends can help us out when we’re in trouble. So， in our life， we shouldn’t look down on others. Instead， we should treat them equally. When they are in a mess， we should try to help them. In return， they will help us when we are in trouble. Only we adopt such an attitude towards our friends can we benefit from our friendship.
