I can still remember the day I met my best friend Judy. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother. Both dared not look at each other. But soon we were no longer shy,and started playing with each other.

In the 7th grade,I was no longer so friendly with her. She was going through family problems then,and I deserted her to make friends with some more interesting people. None of my new friends liked her because they thought she was not cool. However,every summer we would visit each other,watch soap operas and talk about the boys we liked.

It was not until last year that I noticed the problem. She was no longer that happy girl I had known before. But at that time,she made a new best friend and so did I. So I didn't take it seriously. Then I was told that she cut herself!

She was diagnosed (診斷) with clinical depression (抑4卩癥) .At first,I was very upset,but we still kept in touch. I wanted to be there with her because her new best friend was justaway from her and people said she was crazy.

Yesterday she came to me and said ," I never knew what a best friend was until I met you. You're the only person who would stop me cutting. I appreciate your help so much that I think even my sister couldn't have done more and better than you."

We both cried. A friend is not someone who plays and laughs together with you,but the one who worries about you and cries for you. Let us be a true friend.

  We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money,but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job,did Jim,as a friend,really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad.

  But when we look back,it is too late.

  Why do we go wrong about our friends,or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen,we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"(你真幸運(yùn)!) Is he really on your side? If he says, " You're a lucky guy (人,家伙) !",that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" there is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.

  "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.

  How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

(   ) 11. When the writer recalls (回想) some of the things that happened between him and his friends,he         .

   A. feels happy,thinking how nice his friends were to him

   B. feels he might not have understood his friends' true feelings

   C. think it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend

   D. is sorry that his friends let him down

(   ) 12. When the writer talks about someone saying, "You're a lucky dog!", he is saying that         .

   A. the speaker is just friendly ,

   B. this sentence suggests the same as "You're a lucky guy"

   C. the word "dog" should not be used to apply to people

   D. sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious

(   ) 13. This passage tries to tell you how to         .

   A. avoid (避免) mistakes about money and friends

   B. get an idea of friendly people

   C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

   D. keep people friendly without trusting them

(   ) 14. The writer suggests that        be trusted.

   A. everybody   B. nobody

   C. all the people   D. not all the people

(   ) 15. Which of the following is RIGHT?

   A. The person who says " You are a lucky dog" is on your side.

   B. In order to understand what others really mean,you'd better look in their eyes.

   C. We won't make any mistakes when we are older.

   D. We have no way to tell the real meaning behind anyone's words.

c To love even if you are already 90 years old,to still have a dream to catch the clouds in the sky. It seems impossible to imagine that these words came from a woman at her age of 101. Most of us generally believe that people at that age would do nothing every day but wait for death to come nearer and nearer. However,that's not true for Grandma Toyo Shibata.

Have you ever thought of starting a new career writing poems at an age of 92? That's just what Grandma Toyo did. More surprisingly,she even had her two collections of poems come out when she was nearly 100 years old. Her first collection,Don't lose heart,has been ranked one of the bestselling books of 2010 in Japan,which sells far more than 1. 5 million copies.

Some say her poems are very like Tagore's. Though simple and relaxed,her poems sharply point out the nature of life. Grandma Toyo writes what she loves and prizes. And her works can easily catch the hearts of millions of readers.

You may think Grandma Toyo lived an easy and comfortable life. However,life didn't treat her that well. She had to take several different jobs to support her family at a very young age. She was one of those who witnessed the Second World War. It's hard to imagine how many difficulties and hardness she has got over all her life.

But Grandma Toyo never complains what life has done to her,yet often feels thankful for the kind people that have helped her. Though she's in her 100s,she still has strong passion of life. Grandma Toyo always brings mirrors and lipsticks with her. She thinks keeping beautiful is also important. Every day is new for her!

(   ) 11. According to the passage,most of us think that people at Grandma Toyo's age

   A. can write beautiful poems

   B. will start a new career

   C. are too close to death to do anything

   D. often complain about their life

(   ) 12. The underlined word "passion" in the passage probably means "                                     ”.

   A. love   B. strength   C. pride   D. impression

(   ) 13. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

   A. Grandma Toyo had her first collection of poems come out at the age of 92.

   B. Both of Grandma Toyo and Tagore's poems point out the nature of life.

   C. Grandma Toyo lived an easy and comfortable life.

   D. Grandma Toyo took several different jobs during the Second World War.

(   ) 14. The underlined sentence u Grandma Toyo always brings mirrors and lipsticks with her" shows that         .

   A. she never complains what life does harm on her

   B. she's worried that she will lose them

   C. she's afraid that she can't find them any more

   D. she never stops her steps towards beauty and happiness

(   ) 15. Which would be the best title of the passage?

   A. An Old Lady in Her 100s.

   B. Toyo Shibata ― "Tagore" in Japan.

   C. Make Every Day Thankful and Wonderful

   D. Have Your Dream Come True

My mother's father worked in a church when he was young. One day,he built some boxes for some clothes. The church was sending them to an orphanage (孤兒院) in India. On his way home,he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses,but they were gone. Then he realized what had happened:the glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the boxes. His new glasses were on the way to India!

Grandpa had spent $20 for those glasses that very morning. That was much money for him then. He was upset by the thought of having to buy another pair. "It's not fair. I've been working so hard. How can this happen to me?" he thought.

Several months later,the director of the orphanage came to the US. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported his orphanage in India,so he came to give a speech one Sunday at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. The director began by thanking the people for their kindness.

"But most of all ," he said ," I must thank you for the glasses you sent. You see,the typhoon (臺(tái)風(fēng)) had just swept through the orphanage,destroying everything,including my glasses. Along with not being able to see well,I had headaches every day. Then your boxes arrived. When I opened them,I found a pair of glasses lying on top."

The people in the church were confused. There were no glasses on the list. But sitting quietly in the back,my grandfather realized what his glasses had done.

There are times when we come across something bad,we always want to complain. But perhaps it is something we should thank. Maybe you should thank God for not allowing your car to start this morning,because he may have saved your life from a car accident.

(   ) 11. Where did the author's grandfather's glasses go?

   A. A church in theUS. B. An orphanage in theUS.

   C. A church inIndia. D. An orphanage inIndia.

(   ) 12. The underlined word " slipped" means "         " in Chinese.

(   ) 13. What did the director of the orphanage want to do in the US?

   A. He wanted to visit some old friends.

   B. He wanted to visit the churches that supported his orphanage.

   C. He wanted to buy some clothes.

   D. He wanted to give the glasses back to the author's grandfather.

(   ) 14. Why were the people in the church confused?

   A. Because they wanted to send the clothes to another country.

   B. Because they didn't listen to the director carefully.

   C. Because they never sent glasses toIndia.

   D. Because they didn't know there was a typhoon.

(   ) 15. What can we learn from the passage?

   A. The bad things may be actually good for us.

   B. Glasses can be very useful for some people.

   C. We should try not to confuse others while giving a speech.
