When you choose a friend, you 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 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 (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on 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 and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, 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! 【小题1】Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

The average (平均的) American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared: *TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children. *TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age. *Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食), a widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements. *TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution. 【小题1】Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs? A. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others. B. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others. C. They are likely to make children more aggressive. D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future. 【小题2】Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat? A. Children like to snack while watching TV. B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV. C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports. D. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive. 【小题3】What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep? A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV. B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced. C. It will make children sleep easier. D. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping. 【小题4】What is the purpose of this text? A. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children. B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV. C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children. D. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV. |

So you think you know your dog. But how well does your dog know you? She probably recognizes you when she sees you. But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference. Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, harsh voice, dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area. Researchers have found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown. The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval. Researchers performed a series of experiments. They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper of lower half of a person’s face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry. The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. Once the dogs learned to recognise which image was happy or angry, they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face. Corsin Muller, who led the study, says future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions?for example, whether a frown shows that someone is angry. “What we can say with our study is that they can tell these ones are different. But what we cannot be sure of at this point is what exact meaning they are associating with these different expressions.” “Of course it seems likely that they would associate (联系) some positive meanings with the smiley face and they would associate some rather negative meanings with the angry face. But what exactly they are associating with these expressions we cannot know at this point.” Corsin says. 【小题1】The passage tells us mainly about . A. whether dogs can recognise our facial expressions B. What are the best ways to train our dogs C. Why it’s necessary to know our pet dogs well D. how dogs communicate with each other 【小题2】We know from the second paragraph that a dog . A. pays little attention to its owner’s looks B. has to be trained to recognise our voices C. will feel guilty if their owner frowns D. is very sensitive to its owner’s voices 【小题3】According to Corsin Muller, it’s been proven that dogs know . A. the exact meaning of a frown B. a frown is an angry expression C. a smiley face may have negative meanings D. human looks carry different meanings 【小题4】In which part of a website does the text probably appear? A. Education. B. Technology. C. Language. D. Economics. |
