It is not easy to find true friends．Even if you’ve connected with someone，how do you really know he is a true friend？And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may have let you down．There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend．
Generally speaking，a true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens．They will stand by you through bad and good times．They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you，and they will be there to help you grow in new ways．
A true friend will keep you secrets for you trust him．They will be honest and be someone you can depend on．They will listen and be someone you can talk things over with，even if they may not have advice to share with you．
However，friendship is a two-way street．To find true friends and keep them，you must in turn be the same as well．Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them．Be someone your friends can depend on as well and offer them the same thing they give to you．A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort．If you are the only one making an effort，be honest and it works．
Actually，there will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship．If it can survive those barriers，it will be stronger and better than ever．Just as St Thomas Aquinas put it，“There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship．”

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world． We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside．The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk．When joggers jog，they don’t run the streets．Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river．
But despite this，our children are growing up nature deprived（剥夺）．I spent my boyhood climbing trees．These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found．
The truth is to be found elsewhere．A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（多动症）．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%．
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood． One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children．However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places．
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature．The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years．And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality．Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world．
We need the wild world． It is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness．
1.According to the author，people enjoy _______ to seek nature．
A． jogging on the street
B． sitting in the garden
C． shopping in the supermarket
D． running in the gym
2.From the second paragraph，we can see that _______．
A． adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature
B． climbing trees will certainly do good to the children
C． children probably spend less time in nature nowadays
D． children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction
3.In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature？
A． Children with ADHD can be cured．
B． A garden nearby improves the quality of old people’s life．
C． Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved．
D． Children’s performance at school is greatly improved．
4.What is the main idea of this passage？
A． Access to nature improves our life．
B． Nature treats children with ADHD．
C． Getting close to nature reduces crime．
D． Man can’t live without natural areas．

I was going to Paris, which I’d always wanted to see．But now I was frightened to travel alone．I arrived at the train station in Paris．I hadn’t spoken my college French for twenty years．On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent（不胜任的）thief．I just stared at him, and he stopped his hand from my purse and disappeared into the crowd． Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren’t easy to find． When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily, and I was sweating like a basketball player．I couldn’t stay．Could I? The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire．The bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building．Welcome to Paris．I sincerely wanted to die．I missed my friends．I was entering my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world, alone, lonely and frightened．
The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment．I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris．I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual．So I went out．Evening in Paris was light and pleasant．I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain．No one seemed to be in a hurry．Paris was beautiful．And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely．My sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free．I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris．I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation．I returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone．Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris, I can go anywhere．”

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
In Australia, many people travel．After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country．1.
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House sitters might have to care for pets．Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning．2.I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．
3. There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time．4.You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
5.Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed． A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
A． I have done house sitting many times.
B． Thousands of people do this all the time.
C． It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神)and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these， it will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地)；the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密),and today is a gift: that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
1.The passage tells us not to ________ because everyone is special.
A. be afraid of difficulties
B. be afraid to learn
C. run through life so fast

A. nothing is possible
B. if we don't give up,there is always hope
C. you should learn to give up
D. although you try, nothing will change
3.Why can't we use time carelessly?
A. Because time is too expensive.
B. Because time never returns.
C. Because we are too poor.
D. Because time will get back.
4.If you run through life so fast, you will________.
A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily
B. lose love by holding it too tightly
C. forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going
D. not be afraid of difficulties
5.According to the passage, which is the best title?
