I like playing football, but I am not very good at it. I do not usually play on my school football team. I am a reserve player. This means that I play only if another player on the team can’t play or is hurt during a game. I have only played in one of the games this year. That was the game we played yesterday. In the middle of the game, one of the players hurt his knee. “Take his place,” the coach said. I ran onto the field. Soon a player on the other team ran towards me with the ball. We were both near my team’s goal. I ran towards him. I got the ball away from him. “ I can’t kick hard, “ I thought. “ I’ll kick the ball to my goal-keeper. He can pick it up and kick it to the other end of the field. “ I did this, but I kicked the ball too hard. The goal-keeper couldn’t get it. The ball went into the goal. I had scored on our own goal! I don’t think the coach will ask me to play for the team again.
Why won’t they ask him to play on the team again?

How often did he play on the team before this game this year?

How did he probably feel after he scored the goal?

What’s the meaning of the underlined word “reseave”?

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying: Friends are God’s way of looking after us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The Care and keeping of Friends by American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.
Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and look after it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient（耐心）. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complains( 抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things can’t always be happy. Even the best friends have fights（吵架）. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest （真诚的） talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says there are three steps of being friends again: Tell him or her how you are felling; say what your friend has done wrong, and say why you did this or that . The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success. Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
The writer of the text really wants to tell us________.

The Care and Keeping of Friends is_____________________.

A good friend should_________________.

What can’t you do if your good friend has done wrong?

C

I am going to have something to eat.” He walked towards the restaurant when he saw the notice. “ American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get up to the top of the house?” he said to himself.
He looked around and found a ladder（梯子） against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top he heard someone shouting at him. “ Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr Smith was looking at him angrily and beside him was a policeman.
“ Don’t your notice say “ Meals on the House for Three Days”? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.
