In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品質(zhì)) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (過錯) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信賴) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (經(jīng)驗) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學年湖南省長沙市高三10月第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
One of my China Dialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one．He was happy with his choice．It may have cost 30 yuan （just under US$4．50） - ten times the price of a filament （燈絲） bulb - but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle．And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending．
Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price．Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?
China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change．But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost．It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods．Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases．An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines．For average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burden．How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich．
Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide （CO2） emissions．Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future．The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility" - a basis of sustainable development - can be applied here as well．
In China, low-carbon living still is resisted by a lack of social infrastructure（基礎設施）. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it．
Consider energy-saving homes. You need to find out whether or not the developer has used natural materials wherever possible; how effective the insulation（絕緣物、隔熱物） is; and what the green credentials of installed equipment are．You can read up a little, but you'll still be lucky to avoid being puzzled by the developers' marketing．Many so-called energy-saving buildings are nothing of the sort, and some are even more energy-hungry than the average home - as Li Taige warned in his article "Energy-efficient buildings? Not always", on China Dialogue last August．
1.What may probably be the best title of this passage?
A. To purchase a cheap bulb - your wise alternative．
B. To choose an energy-saving residence - a must of your life
C. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - each citizen's responsibility
D. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - a promising but difficult purpose
2.Why does the writer say this fashion is only for the rich in the fourth paragraph?
A. Because the cost is a very important standard for purchases.
B. Because buying an ordinary bulb is very expensive.
C. Because energy-saving products are more expensive than the common alternatives.
D. Because rich people like to follow this trend.
3.What does the writer think of energy-saving homes?
A. Most of them are environmentally friendly.
B. They are musts of low-carbon lifestyle of Chinese.
C. They are huge burdens for Chinese people.
D. Many of them are more in name than in reality.
4.We can infer from the passage that ____．
A. Using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashion．
B. It's easy for most Chinese to try to learn a low-carbon lifestyle．
C. All citizens in China don’t have the same responsibility in living a low-carbon lifestyle．
D. Most Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence.
5.What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?
A. informative and entertaining B. supportive but cautious
C. negative but wise D. positive and active

科目：高中英語 來源：湖南省永州市2010年高考第二次模擬考試卷英語 題型：其他題
Directions: Reading the following passage. Answer the questions accroding to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.
Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to Japan with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(國家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes.
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance.
81. How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today? ( No more than 2 words )
82. List two factors Chinese travellers should consider while choosing a travel agency.
( No more than 3 words )
83. What seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency ?
( No more than 12 words )
84. What would be a good title for this passage ? ( No more than 6 words)
