When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who has wings of their own and who will fly with me.

    When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle(鳴笛)today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social persons and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair, too. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not travel over this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had a great friend whose imagination brightens mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.

It is such comforting companions(陪伴)I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be with my own best friend.

1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the writer ______ finally.

A. wasn’t serious about her studies

B. didn’t like writing poems or stories

C. became popular with her classmates

D. developed her proper social behaviors

2.The underlined sentence “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.

A. our tour in London was a memorable gift to both of us

B. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

C. we were unwilling to stay away from London

D. we waved goodbye to each other in London

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Unforgettable Experiences.

B. Unbelievable Imagination.

C. Touching Companions.

D. Lifelong Friendship.

閱讀理解。
     We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively (被動(dòng)地). We achieve it actively by direct
experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
     We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
passive. If we achieve knowledge by passive learning, it's not surprising that we depend on it in our
everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
     Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor (謠言).
     Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't
show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes
down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared.
Typically, the original message has changed.
     That's what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words
changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative
touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上標(biāo)記) it with their own personal style. Yet those
who hear it think they know.
     This process is also found among scholars and writers: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
unless it happens to someone to question the facts.
1. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
A. doing a medical experiment
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. active learning
B. knowledge
C. communication
D. passive learning
3. The writer mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
A. a message may be changed when being passed on
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Active learning is less important.
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning happens more often.
D. Passive learning is not found among writers.
