Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few---for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(親密) between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common ---they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.” It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differences of opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

1.According to the author, ____.

A. all those who get on well with each other are friends

B. friends are closer than people who just get on with each other

C. everyone understands clearly how to make friends

D. every student has 6 friends

2.In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ____.

A. using the same frequency while taking

B. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do

C. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests

D. having the same background

3.Which of the following is not implied in the passage?

A. Even friends may have differences of opinion.

B. Friends never argue with each other.

C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.

D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.

4.To strengthen friendly relationship, people ____.

A. must hold friendship ceremonies

B. have to eliminate(消除) differences in background

C. should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race

D. should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions

If you know something is bad for you, why can’t you just stop? About 70% of smokers say they would like to stop. Drug and alcohol abusers (濫用者) struggle to give up the bad habits that hurt their bodies and destroy families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy weight that we could lose if only we would eat right and exercise more. So why don’t we do it?

Some scientists have been searching for answers. They’ve studied what happens in our brains as habits form. They’ve found answers to why bad habits, once formed, are so difficult to kick. And they’re developing ways to help us make the changes we’d like to make.

Habits are a normal part of life, and are often helpful. “ We wake up every morning, shower, comb our hair or brush our teeth without being aware of it,” Volkow says. We can drive along familiar routes without really thinking about the directions. “When behaviors become automatic(不加思索的), it gives us an advantage, because the brain does not have to perform the action on purpose.” Volkow says. This frees up our brains to focus on different things.

One way to kick bad habits is to focus on your unhealthy habits. Then try your best to stop them. For example, habits can be linked in our minds to certain places and activities. You could develop a plan, say, to avoid walking down the hall where there’s a candy machine. Try to avoid going places where you’ve usually smoked. Stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking or drug use.

Another helpful way is to replace unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. “It doesn’t work for everyone,” Volkow says. “But certain groups of patients who have a history of taking a drug can do something else like running and it helps them stay away from drugs.”

1.In the first paragragh the writer mainly wants to tell us ______.

A. we should stop something bad for us

B. most smokers would like to stop smoking

C. bad habits are really difficult to give up

D. eating right and exercise more can lose weight

2.Scientists studied what happened in our brains as habits form in order to______.

A. find answers to solve the problem

B. find ways to form good habits

C. kick their own bad habits

D. help us see how bad habits form

3. If you want to kick bad habits you’d better_______.

A. focus on them on purpose

B. go to the places linked with them

C. do something linked with them

D. ask your friends for help

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Breaking bad habits.

B. Forming good habits.

C. Finding reasons for bad habits

D. Replacing bad habits with good ones.

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Surely we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to build a positive self-image.

B. How to face challenges in your life.

C. How to prepare for your success.

D. How to develop you good qualities.

2.You need to build a positive self-image when you .

A. dare to challenge yourself

B. feel it hard to change yourself

C. are unconfident about yourself

D. have a high opinion of yourself

3.How should you change your self-image according to the passage?

A. To keep a different image of others.

B. To understand your own world.

C. To change the way you think.

D. To make your life successful.

4.According to the passage, our self-images .

A. have different function B. are probably untrue

C. have positive effects D. are often changeable
