Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people,   71 ．
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”．In all cases，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly．
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions. As we
get to know people,   72  . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is more
difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background．
Then,   73 ．Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends．Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness．
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs，the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become．the more they depend on each other. And   74  . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits，and to accept differences in opinion.
In contrast with marriage,   75  . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship

A．we are usually friends with only a few

B．many factors can affect friendship and relationship

C．people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down

D．a(chǎn)rgument and discussion can improve personal relationships

E．we consider things like age，race，looks，economic and social status，etc
F．we pay attention to actual behavior，facial expression，and the way a person speaks
G．there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people

For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed  36  clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments  37  all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents,  38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life  39  smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into  40  arguments with my older and wiser parents. The   41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears  42  to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them.   43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d  44  a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker,   45  slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to  46  what I had said was true,  47  this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of   48  . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be  49  in my family again.
Hugs will  50  be her trademark（標(biāo)志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to  51  your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable  52  to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head,   53  fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can  be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so  54  . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite  55 .

The man traveling in the back of the ambulance which was running at a high speed along the streets of Baltimore that morning in 2008 had no business to be alive．By everything that was reasonable，and there were plenty of such things before，he should have been very dead indeed．But he wasn’t．As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him，he was only slightly hurt．Yet he had just fallen 150 feet down a hotel lift shaft（電梯通道）!
Unknown to the man，two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day．On the thirteenth f1oor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open．Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and，it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet．
Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents，but this was ancient equipment unreliable，slow，dangerous，and suitable material to recycle．
The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.
Good! The life gate was open. The life must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy life made its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cage was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.
The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash!
Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.
59．What do we learn about the man?
A．He fell from the 13th floor.       B．He was hit by an ambulance．
C．He got caught in a serious flood．  D．He made a record for high-diving.
60．By “……h(huán)ad no business to be alive”，the writer means that the man_______.
A．had missed his business appointment      B．was alive with excitement
C．was alive and this was surprising       D．didn’t do any business
61．Tile lift did not have a fail-safe system because it was____________.
A．narrow     B．slow  C．1arge D．old
62．Which of the following was NOT the cause of the accident?
A．A pipe burst．                  B．The man overslept
C．The hotel forgot to call him      D．Someone left the lift door open

“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal hears them，he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.
Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide，and forests and deserts, as well. Besides, he’s usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. But the criminals know that as public enemies, they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide.
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake，they’ll get him. That’s why the man who is wanted can’t sleep. That’s why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound.
The FBI began on May 10th, 1924. General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer, to head the new agency . “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,” he said. “Criminals today are smart．They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock，using advanced technology. We can’t beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically.”
Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers, they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun. But the FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces．   
68．A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is ________.
A．not at all useful              B．very helpful for a while
C．necessary for his crime         D．everything for him
69．Before he worked with the FBI，Edgar Hoover was a ____________.
A．policeman     B．lawyer    C．teacher     D．general
70．The FBI was begun in order to____.
A．reduce crimes            B．bring younger men into police work
C．fight crimes scientifically   D．offer jobs
71．A man who can “handle a teacup as well as a gun” has both ____________.
A．courage and manners         B．strength and kindness
C．wisdom and energy          D．a(chǎn)bility and humor

    61    Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
   62    Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.    63   
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers and sisters.    64    However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?
Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.    65     Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad-it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.
You can train your temper.
You don’t want to cause trouble.
Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.
Everybody gets angry sometimes.
In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
Instead of thinking of the person you are angry with, think of something else.
Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some others.

Think about all the things you enjoy doing outside. Do you have a huge, green field or city park close to your house where you can play baseball or soccer? Do your parents take you swimming or camping during your summer vacation? Maybe you and your friends just like to hang out on your street and ride bikes.
Our world is so beautiful. It’s part of the reason we love to be outdoors. The blue skies, clear lakes and rivers, rich soil, and fresh air are all valuable natural resources(資源) that make up a healthy, safe environment. Everyone living on the earth needs to do his or her part to help protect these resources so our world will still be healthy and beautiful many years from now.
As the population on earth continues to grow at a fast rate, it becomes harder to protect our land, air, and water from harmful pollution. The most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as much as possible about how their actions affect the environment. Then they can make wise choices that will reduce damage to the planet.
Governments, scientists, businesses and industries, agriculture, environmental organizations, and individuals can all help to control pollution. Pollution management, which specifically involves(涉及)reducing and cleaning up pollution, is expected to be one of the fastest growing industries of the future.
The government serves an important role in managing pollution by passing laws and setting guidelines(指導(dǎo)方針)to set and increase pollution standards.
