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 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.?

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

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

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

閱讀理解

　　To celebrities, what question is frequently asked besides their loving affairs? It's plastic surgery．And many perfect-looking pop stars keep denying they have changed their facial appearance．Some even get angry at any claims that they've been under the knife．

　　So it was a bit shocking when Chinese singer Heng Yue boldly announced last month she would have plastic surgery, becoming the first celebrity to do so in the mainland．

　　Heng, with a broad range and penetrating(有穿透力的)voice, had been invited to sing the theme song for Chen Kaige's film The Promise and TV drama such as Ma Dashuai and Liu Laogen．But the popularity of the songs shaded her．Her look just wasn't very charming．

　　On March 24, Heng, who declined to reveal her age, endured2 18 operations on her face．It was a comprehensive 8-hour plastic surgery job including nose reshaping and eye operations, said to cost around 650,000 yuan．

　　“I am so fond of singing,” said Heng, “I'm hoping to go further in my career as a singer．However, I've found my plain looks are making me less competitive．”

　　Heng said that many TV shows were interested in her singing, but rejected her, saying that she looked just so so．So the chance went to someone who looked more attractive or charming on camera．

　　Certainly, Heng's not the only star to go seeking perfection．Tian Yungcheng, a doctor specializing in plastic surgery, said that Heng was just one of about 200 stars he had operated on．

　　“Whenever we turn on the TV, mose of the celebrity faces on stage, I believe, have had operation．” Tian said．

　　“Pop stars are reluctant to tell anyone about their surgery since they're under the pressure from the public who find it hard to accept fake beauty．But I don't see it as wrong if a person just wants to be perfect or have a more pleasant look for others to appreciate．” Tian said．

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

She wanted to be an actress．

D．

She wanted to be more competitive．
