Americans think much about time. When they are children they learn to value(珍惜,重視) time. As children they are taught to be on time to go to school, to go to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowed time.

Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturdays and Sundays he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

They love time because time can bring them money and a lot of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel they have become servants(傭人) of the clock.

A. If someone has money, he has time.

Feeling left out?

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around. Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣賞) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say“Hi, can l play, too?”or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!

1.This text is written for ________.

A. teachers B. parents C. students D. visitors

2.According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they___________.

A. have trouble with their studies B. don’t have their best friends around

C. need their parents to be with them D. are too young to look after themselves

3.The underlined word this in Paragraph 4 refers to___________.

A. sharing your ideas B. talking before many people

C. studying better at school D. developing (發(fā)展) new friendship

4.Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because___________.

科目：初中英語 來源：江蘇省泰興市2018-2019學年七年級下學期第一次月考英語試卷 題型：回答問題

I often go to the park near my home. I always see a little boy there. He wears an old T-shirt and black trousers. In front of him is a basket of flowers. He sells flowers from early morning to late at night every day.

Some other boys also sell flowers in front of the park. But no one is like this boy. He asks everyone to buy his flowers. When he sees me, he always follows me and says, “Please buy a flower. Please!” “Sorry, I don’t like flowers!” I answer. I never buy any flowers from him.

One day, I go to the park. The boy is there again. He sits at the same place. I don’t want him to follow me, so I don’t look at him. I walk past him into the park.

When I come out of the park, the boy is still there. He doesn’t ask anyone to buy his flowers and just sits there. I want to know why. I walk up to the boy. He looks at me but doesn’t say anything. I ask him, “Boy, why don’t you ask people to buy your flowers today?” He answers, “ Because I don’t need any money now. My sister is dead. You can take a flower for free.”

I buy all his flowers. But I feel so sorry, because I don’t give him help in time.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題 (No more than 7 words.)

1.How long does the boy sell flowers every day?

_________________________________________________________

2.Where does the boy sell his flowers?

3.Does the writer buy the boys flowers at the beginning?

5.Why does the writer feel so sorry for the boy?
