     Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs
of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though,
no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and
healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同齡人).
     Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very
important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A
recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls
tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the
end of a friendship.
     Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition,
and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against
others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.
Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an
experience that can haunt(縈繞心頭) a boy for years.
     As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include
girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life-and a part in
which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds
with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me",
someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of
adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
   On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.
   But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.
   Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

   A. to take his girlfriend out to dinner

   C. to make Valentine’s cards for teachers and friends
   D. to spell out his girlfriend’s name with rose petals
52. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?

   B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.
   C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.
Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.
Gloria persuaded her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the world better.
56. When did Gloria get her first job?
A. A few years before college.            B. Several years after college.
C When she was studying at college.       D. When she was working in the TV station.

C. Serving coffee in the student union.       D. Making maps for the Forest Service.
58. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?
A. Her boss agreed to raise money.          B. She paid for the operation herself.
C She allowed the boy to show on TV.       D. Her news report affected some doctors.

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）
請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng), 并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
The truth in other words
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was : “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.             The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is : Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
56. The man wrote some words on one side of the boy’s sign because       .
A. he thought that the blind boy didn’t know how to write

C. he thought that the boy couldn’t get any money
D. he wanted to help the poor blind boy
57. The changed sign worked better than the original one because        .
A. the original sign told people to do things, which people don’t like
B. the second sign made people see their health as a gift, which made them willing to help
C. the original sign pointed out a kind of suffering that people don’t care about at all
D. the second sign drew people’s attention to another problem the boy had
58. We can learn from the story that the man who rewrote the sign was        .
A. creative      B. patient       C. funny      D. curious
59. The story shows us that        .

This is a true story from Guyana. One day, a boy took a piece of paper from a box. He made a paper ball and pushed it into his nose. He couldn’t get it out. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later, the paper was still in the boy’s nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

So his mother took the boy to a hospital. The doctor looked up at the child’s nose, but she couldn’t get the paper out. She said she had to cut the boy’s nose to get the paper out.

The boy’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May. May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.

“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon.”

As she spoke, she shook some black pepper on the child’s nose. The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a swim, for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
