Have you ever wondered how to work out who your true friends really are? Here are a few tips for you to           exactly who your true friends are.
First, it’s very difficult, especially    you’re in a large group of friends where you have a very different  range of             . Some of them may be goof-offs or clowns, some of them may be very           and intense, and some of them may just be the            run of the mill(普通的) friends. However, in your life, when you’re looking for a          friend, you want the friend that’s really going to be there for you when you need him or her and          some positive information and positive attention.
So, I guess a good rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) when you’re looking for a true friend, or           who your true friends are, is to find the ones that really          you when the going gets rough. That is, when you’re in a            pot, they’re really there for you, being supportive, listening and trying to help you           for yourself what you might want to do. A true friend will also           you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that’s different. For            , if you have a bat habit, they are going to accept you with that bad habit,            the rest of the habits, instead of just ridiculing you about it,          at you about it, or putting you down. We all have our shortcomings, and a true friend is one who           accepting of you, no matter what your            are.
It is very hard to        the true friends, especially from a large group of friends, as the personalities began to mesh(匹配) over time. So, its            you to be very aware, watch your friends,          and look back at who’s really been there for you in your difficult situations.

【原创】“Will I be able to work until I’m 70?” Those were my first words when I learned in 2014, at the age of 50, that I had Parkinson’s disease. I had not planned for that question to pop out of my mouth, but it did. Perhaps I was worried about my money. The size of my retirement account makes early retirement seem impossible. But mainly I think I asked that question because work, for better or worse, has become central to my identity. The idea that my career as a historian would end soon felt truly disturbing.
As professors, we often complain about our jobs: we teach too much, we are paid too little, and the library needs more books. But I can’t imagine a better career. We teach young people, and we find the time to read and write about topics we love. We receive a degree of respect. Even my doctor calls me “Professor”.
And, most importantly, we have relative job security. When I received my diagnosis, my question about keeping my job was not ridiculous. In a market-based social system, the threat of job loss is terrifying. Imagine the pressure faced by a Parkinson’s sufferer with no job security. It could be disastrous for someone who needs manual dexterity at work, such as a construction worker.
In contrast, I am lucky: I have tenure(终身职位), which gives me a feeling of security that even popular entertainers may lack. Tenure does not guarantee me a job as long as I can perform y duties.
Will I be able to work until I’m 70? I think so. I know that my family and I will face new challenges, but I don’t expect a decline in my job performance. My students may find my appearance a bit odd, but if they do, then that will be a “teachable moment”.
What did the author worry about first when he learned he was ill?

According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

The underlined phrase in the third paragraph, “manual dexterity” probably means _____________.

The best title for this passage is _________________________.

【原创】The first theories and experiments with cloning began in the late 1880s as scientist sought to prove their theories about how the genetic material inside cells worked. Discoveries about the nature of DNA in the 1940s made it possible for cloning experiments to progress. In 1944 it was discovered that genetic information for each cell was kept in the cell’s DNA. When Oswald Avery found this genetic information, it gave scientists new ways to try to clone animals by using that genetic blueprint（生物细胞的模型）.
The first cloned animals were northern leopard frogs that were cloned by Thomas J. King and Robert Briggs in 1952. King and Briggs believed, based on their clones, that young cells were more practical for the cloning process. Cells that were taken from adults resulted in abnormally developed tadpoles(蝌蚪). The next successful cloning experiments also resulted in cloned frogs. John Gurdon cloned South African frogs in 1962. His use of adult cells disproved the previous theory that only young cells could be used in the cloning process with success.
While animal cloning had been the focus of cloning experiments, the 1960s also saw other types of cloning. In 1964, F. C. Steward took an adult root cell from a carrot plant and successfully cloned the plant. Throughout the rest of the 1960s, scientists continued to clone frogs and to discover more about DNA. The first gene was discovered in 1969.
In 1977, the first cloned mice embryos were created. The first mammal was cloned in 1984. The cloned sheep was quickly followed in 1985 with cloned cattle embryos. A cow clone was created in 1986 and several calves in 1993. That same year, human embryos were cloned for the first time. In 1995 and 1996, sheep were cloned, including the famous Dolly.
The first paragraph serves as a(n) __________________________.

When as the first plant successfully cloned?

How is the passage organized?

【原创】Writing a children’s story requires a vivid imagination, good writing, creativity and the ability to put yourself into the mind of a child. For many writers, writing children’s books successfully will require some effort to step back into the shoes of the very young and to see the world from a very fresh and curious perspective. For those who are always young-at-heart, writing children’s stories can be a very satisfying job. And if you are a child author reading this article, these characteristics will be second nature to you but you will still benefit from these steps on how to write a children’s story.
Brainstorm story ideas. The story is perhaps the most important aspect of a good book. Consult some of your favorite books(children’s or not) for an example. Choose a story that fits your interests and talents, such as action, fantasy, or mystery. Smaller children enjoy stories with a play on words or a repeated phrase.
Develop your characters. In order to have a good story, you need some interesting characters. Who is the main character in the story? Is there more than one? Are the characters humans, animals or fantasy creatures, or do they include elements of all three? Before you begin, it is best to make an outline of the characters and how they fit into the story.
Add some pictures. Everyone loves pictures. They can add to the interest level of the story and make it easier to follow. You may like to include a few funny cartoons or pictures in your story. Make sure that you use bright, happy colors or dark, sad colors, depending on the mood of a story.
A children’s story doesn’t need to be realistic! That is the difference between children’s and adult books. Of course you can write about a talking goose. Sure you can write about a human with a dog’s head and three legs. While children can enjoy this, adults cannot very often just let the story flow over them.
What is the text mainly about?

Which of the following is NOT true about the first paragraph?

When you think about the main idea of your book, _______________.

In the author’s opinion, ___________________.

According to the author, ____________ is probably the most important step in writing a book.

【原创】Recently a series of reports appeared online in the United States and the United Kingdom lamenting(叹息) the “Lazy French”. A new labor law in France had apparently banned organizations from e-mailing their employees after 6 p.m. In fact, it turned out to be more a case of “lazy journalists” than “lazy French”: as The Economist explained, the “law” was not a law at all, but a labor agreement aimed at improving health among a group of professionals.
Brits and Americans have long suspected that the French are goofing off(吊儿郎当) while they – the good corporate soldiers—continue to toil away. They are proud about it, too. In the age of the smartphone, there’s no such things as “downtime”(停工期), and we claim that we are happier—and more productive – for it.
Are we, though? After reviewing thousands of books, articles and papers on the topic and interviewing dozens of experts in different fields, I don’t think so. When we are checking business news in bed or responding to co-workers. But, actually, we’re mostly just getting the small, easy things done. Being busy is not equal to being effective.
And let’s not forget about the surrounding play, which often distracts us from accomplishing our most important tasks. Facebook and Twitter report that their sites are most active during office hours. After all ,the employee who’s required to respond to her boss on Sunday morning will think nothing of responding to friends on Wednesday afternoon. Constant connection means that we’re “always at work”, yes, but also that we’re “never at work”—fully.
Some parts of the workforce do rely on constant connection. But others should be given proper breaks. The great technology historian, Melvin Kranzberg, said, “Technology is neither good nor bad, and nor is it neutral(中立的).” That statement should become a real principle of the information age. We must actively decide on our levels of technology engagement at different times to maximize productivity, success and happiness.
The author mentions “lazy French” at the beginning of the passage in order to __________.

Why did the author review many materials and interview many experts?

What can we conclude from the passage?
