Cicero wrote that, ＂There is nothing more fatal to friendship than the greed of gain.＂ Although a popular sentiment, it’s a deeply mistaken one.

Think about the friends you have. Try to make yourself aware of what you enjoy about those friends — that is, how they make your life better than it would otherwise be without them. You’ll probably come up with something like this: ＂Jack makes me laugh; I love his sense of humor.＂ Or ＂Sue is really dedicated to her work, and well-organized. I really admire that. It inspires me to do the same.＂ Or ＂Bill was really there for me when my mother died. I really like how supportive he can be.＂

You get the idea? And there’s no sin in this fact! The notion of ＂getting something out＂ of friends has been given a bad name, for two reasons. One reason is that the phrase is commonly associated with material gain, as in business, rather than psychological gain.

It is true, of course, that the gain you obtain from a friendship is not the same as the gain you obtain from, say, getting a paycheck at your job; or selling your stock for a million dollars. If you engaged in the excuse that you enjoyed a ＂friend＂ for his personal qualities, when in fact you want to know him only for contacts or for money, then you would be guilty of a fraud. But it’s fraud and excuse which are wrong; not getting something out of a relationship which is wrong.

The other reason people don’t like to associate friendship with self-interest is the widely held, though false, belief that self-interest is wrong. Yet it isn’t. The burden of proof should be on people who claim that self-interest is wrong to prove their point; yet nobody can. It’s something which is just assumed. It’s taken as an obvious truth, like ＂the sky is blue＂. Yet, unlike ＂the sky is blue＂ (for which there is overwhelming evidence), there is no evidence at all to support the notion that gaining something from a friendship is wrong. As I just illustrated, it’s a premise(假定) which is completely not consistent with simple observation of everyday life.

Try to imagine being friends with someone whom you don’t like: someone who is humorless; someone who is lazy and inefficient, and a liar; someone who shrugs and walks away when you mention your mother just passed away. Should we tolerate such qualities in others in the name of selflessness? If you answered ＂yes＂, most would be ready to put you into a mental hospital for insanity; or, at a minimum, refer you to a psychotherapist for ＂self-esteem issues＂. Yet, in the abstract, many of us persist in claiming (along with Cicero) that ＂greed＂ and gain are completely at odds with friendship. In truth, we all gain from friendship. If we didn’t, there would be no point in having friends in the first place.

1.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?

A. A faithful friend is hard to find.

B. Without a friend, the world is a wilderness.

C. A hedge between keeps friendship green.

D. Friendship is selfish.

2.By the examples in Paragraph 2, the writer tries to convince us that .

A. friends will surely come to our help when we are in trouble

B. we like our friends because we get something out of them

C. we cannot have too many friends

D. without friends our life will be difficult

3.The underlined word ＂sin＂ in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ＂ ＂.

A. fault B. sense C. reason D. good

4.What makes people think getting something out of friends is wrong is that .

A. it has something to do with psychological gain

B. it is just an excuse

C. it contradicts simple observation of everyday life

D. it is linked to self-interest

It is no doubt that health is the most important thing in our life. As a Chinese proverb go, ＂Health is blessing＂. Should we be always ill in bed, how can we enjoy life?

To keep healthy, we must develop a healthy way of life. First of all, we should keep on doing sports on a regularly basis, because it can strengthen both our body and mind, refresh ourselves and making us work more efficiently. Secondly, we must keep balanced diet to provide our body with various nutrition we need, but we should refuse junk food. Remember, it is through the mouth where diseases enter into our body. Thirdly, a good sleep is also vital to our health. Stay up too late at night often results in poor health. As middle school students, we need better sleep to do better in our lessons.

(2017·新课标全国卷II，B)I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?

A. Paul Newman wanted it.

B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C. He wasn’t famous enough.

D. The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A. They were of the same age.

B. They worked in the same theater.

C. They were both good actors.

D. They had similar characteristics.

3.What does the underlined word ＂that＂ in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief.

B. Their care for children.

C. Their success.

D. Their support for each other.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show his love of films.

B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie.

D. To share his acting experience.
