When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in the development of our personalities. As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we make mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re wrong. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people with whom we aren’t afraid of sharing our secret wishes or what is really on our minds.
Friends, you fell safe and warm. At times, they also help with our everyday life, cooking a meal, helping with chores, or giving us a lift when we need.
Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on..
Friends also help us reduce stress. They not only listen to us when we fell stressed, but also discuss with us how to friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

優(yōu)質(zhì)課堂快樂成長系列答案科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解
Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一劑毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（強(qiáng)加）from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________.
A. we have thoughts similar to those of others
B. most people have a variety of thoughts
C. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others
D. other people’s thoughts are more important
What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ?
A. We may lose ourselves to please others.
B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
C. We need to pay for what we want to get.
D. The price of taking drugs is freedom.
In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________.
A. care about others’ opinions and change opinions all the time
B. guide ourselves by means of values from the outside
C. persuade others to accept our opinions
D. stick to our own values
It can be concluded from the passage that __________.
A. we shouldn’t care what others think B. it’s better to do what we like
C. we shouldn't change our own opinions D. it’s important to accept others’ opinions

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆福建省高二下學(xué)期第一次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe(虛假). But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated(隔離的) lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.
1.The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves .
A. the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C. the general existence of the sense of curiosity
D. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A. The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.
B. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.
C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.
3.If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will
A. be confused by the world of make-believe
B. fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
C. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
B. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.
C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
D. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
When we are little, we know nothing about the rights and responsibilities of adulthood. 71 Therefore, if we like a certain toy or if we want to eat a certain type of chocolate, we think that our parents will have to buy that for us. We don’t care that they possibly have not enough money for that. If they don’t carry out our wish, we’ll begin to cry. 72 Whenever we begin to cry, we’ll get what we want.
Still, little by little, we realize that our parents can’t offer us all that we want for certain reasons. We then also understand that parents have their rights. They have the right to scold us when we do something wrong or when they find out that we have lied to them. 73 They choose our clothes, the food we eat, the school we will study at, the hours when we should go out to play and the time we have to return home.
74 They are the ones to be blamed later if we don’t receive proper education. That’s why when we beat a classmate at the kindergarten, parents are the ones to apologize for our deeds in front of the teacher and the classmate’s parents. And when we get ill, they are responsible for not taking good care of us and for dressing us inadequately.
The moment we become teenagers, we notice that we should be responsible for our behaviors in society. Now we have the right to be independent. 75 It is supposed that we are mature enough to solve our problems and to make people around trust us. For some of us, this is a difficult test to pass, but it is the best method to see if we are capable of taking our place in society.
A. However, it’s also time for us to give explanations when we do something wrong.
B. But at the same time they are responsible for many things that happen to us.
C. Moreover, they have the right to make choices for us when we are little.
D. As a matter of fact, parents have a lot of things to be concerned about.
E. This is a child’s important weapon to threaten his/her parents.
F. We should believe we can do them by ourselves.
G. We think our parents should offer us all we need.
