People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.

Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.

Always respectful

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always understanding

It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

1.What’s the best title for the third paragraph?

A. Keep your secrets B. Always there for you

C. Always happy for you D. Remember your important days

2.According to the passage，a true friend will always ____________.

A. follow your advice

B. offer a solution to your problems

C. respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it

D. listen immediately to your problems

3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Never tell lies to friends.

B. Making time for friends.

C. Paying attention to a friend’s opinion.

D. Sharing fun with friends.

4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.

B. To find out how long a friendship can last.

C. To introduce his experience in making friends.

D. To teach us how to make true friends.

B

The Sieferts are the kind of environmentally conscious family who has solar panels atop their home. They use timers on their kids' showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping. But they feel kind of guilt. “I haven’t thought about the pool as much as I probably should,” said Annette Siefert.

As California's drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.

But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools aren't the water wasters some have made them out to be. Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size. Over time, pools might even use less water. With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸發(fā))can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping.

Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis. It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they use about 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pool's cumulative water use falls below that of a lawn.

Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions. Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week.

“We want to respect the people's rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools,” said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155,000-customer district. “But at the same time, the reality around us is that we're in the third year of a serious drought, and we don't know if we're in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10-year drought.”

1.Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of ______.

A. being a typical water waster

B. the water-use of their swimming pool

C. her control over her kids' showers at home

D. the construction of the drought-tolerant landscaping

2.According to analyses and scientific studies, a swimming pool ______.

A. had belter be filled up in the beginning

B. becomes more efficient against drought

C. isn't what people think to be wasteful of water

D. consumes more water than a lawn of the same size

3.What does Jonathan Volzke try to express in the last paragraph?

A. He expects the serious drought to come to an end.

B. He thinks highly of those who have saved for pools.

C. He appeals for reasonable use of the swimming pools.

D. He tries to maintain the right to use the swimming pools.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Water Crisis In California

B. Strict Ban On Filling Pools

C. The Sieferts—Real Environmentalists?

D. Pools—A Big Factor During Drought?

Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.

In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.

Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.

1.Which of the following is true about American public media?

A. They depend on the government.

B. They are controlled by the government

C. They are free

D. They can earn money.

2.Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?

A. Newspapers are getting more popular.

B. Satellite media is getting more popular.

C. Traditional media also serve racial groups.

D. Some media make their programs in foreign languages

3.From the second paragraph, we learn that .

A. broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages

B. more media are out of control

C. American media is dramatic

D. cable TV is free

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. American news and entertainment

B. Public television and radio media

C. media in the United States

D. Cable programs in the United States

While working in Southeast Asia in the mid 1990’s, I became a branch manager in a factory. At the beginning, I used human relations principles, such as putting myself into the others place to help gain trust. After a few months, I was told that the factory team members liked and trusted me.

Then the owner, seeing how everyone thought well of me, believed that I could become an instrument of change to carry out his several unpopular programs. The factory members resisted and eventually saw me as a puppet controlled by the owner. The more I insisted that they ‘follow orders’ the more they found ways to weaken the new changes.

Finally, I was replaced by a manager who knew enough to please both masters. Even though the owner did not like the fact that his new changes were not immediately applied, the new manager gained his power by the support received from his team together with an intention to find a way. What I learned was that your team must always see you as supportive of their needs, even to the extent that the owner may not be pleased that you are unable to follow their wishes. At the end of the day, if your people do not follow you then you are no longer in charge and will be replaced.

At first I blamed my boss for putting me in such a position. Then in honest reflection, I began to realize that he had probably hoped that I would have found some middle ground. What I could have done was to first obtain their advice about why they did not wish to follow the new policy changes, and then I should have used my influence with both the owner and team members to find a better way.

Though, in fact it is a painful lesson for me, it has served me well along my career path!

d. He became a branch manager.

f. He was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders.

A. a, b, d, c, f B. f, d, c, b, a

(B)

Lights Out at Bedtime

There are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening — writing e-mails，chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet，for instance．But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC’s bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle．"They haven't proved it though，" says Dieter Kunz，the team's director at Charite's Psychiatric Clinic in St．Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin．

Similarly，exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin，which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall．

Ten years ago，a team of British and American researchers detected a photo-pigment（光敏色素） in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night，summer or winter．The photo-pigment is especially sensitive to blue light．

"The blue light more or less tells the body，'It's daytime，be awake，'" Kunz says．Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photo-pigment may react similarly to it．So the longer people look into the bright light，the more awake they become - and then sleep poorly．

A lot of people have difficulty "switching off" in the evening．About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly．

Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes．Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleep problems．

In addition，electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep．"Sound scientific evidence is still lacking on this matter，" Kunz notes．

According to Kunz，those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower the brightness somewhat．"But nobody does that because，after all，you want to concentrate while working at the computer and the light helps the brain．"

1.The passage is mainly about ____________．

A．natural wake-up cycles

B．the effect of light on sleep

C．personal and health concerns

D．functions of computer monitors

2.The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to_____．

A．normal bathroom lighting

B．10-minute exposure to lighting

C．the release process of a chemical

D．a(chǎn) chemical affecting one’s sleep cycle

3.We can learn from the passage that ______．

A．the blue light has a calming effect．

B．the photo-pigment tells people day or night

C．women in Germany use computers more often than men

D．it has been proved that standby lights affect people’s sleep
