Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make it up and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much but we can call them or write to them. We can also make new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? Friends can make us feel happy. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.

Body language is quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It speaks louder than words.
According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非语言) communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.
Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact（接触）,even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So it’s possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.
Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.You may find the passage in _____.
A, a science magazine B. a guide book
C. a sports newspaper D. a story bookThe underlined word this in paragraph 3 refers to ___.
| A．the Norwegian keeps moving closer |
| B．the Latino follows the Norwegian |
| C．the Norwegian keeps backing away |
| D．the Latino’s way of expressing friendship |
Misunderstanding of body languages always happens because of the ___.
| A．languages | B．friends |
| C．cultures | D．countries |
Which of the following is true?
| A．people around the world have the same body languages |
| B．body language takes up about 50% of our communication |
| C．body language is the most important in our communication |
| D．body language is important when trying to communicate across cultures |

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap, and drove a white truck. As a five-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer(硬币兑换器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery, and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note, “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery,” and put it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr Basille even had a key to my house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we could box indoors, So that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr Basille from time to time, taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allow the production of cheaper milk, so making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere. And it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and fixed it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is, so I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milk man who brought us friendship along with his milk.Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer______.
| A．to please his mother |
| B．to pay for the delivery |
| C．to show his magical power |
| D．to satisfy the boy’s curiosity(好奇心) |
If they needed to change their order, they should____
| A．call the milkman |
| B．wait for the milk |
| C．leave a note in the box |
| D．leave a note on the door |
Why is there no longer milk delivery today?
| A．It is not allowed by the law. |
| B．Its service is getting poor. |
| C．It has been driven out of the market. |
| D．Nobody wants to be a milkman now. |
Why did writer bring back home an old milk box?
| A．He planted flowers in it. |
| B．He missed the good old days. |
| C．He needed it for his milk bottles. |
| D．He wanted to tell interesting stories. |
What can be inferred(推断) from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
| A．He was a funny person. |
| B．He wanted to have tea there. |
| C．He was fully trusted by the family. |
| D．He was treated as a family member. |

Life is important to all of us. So we must respect our lives. When you want to run across the street to catch the bus, stop to think about it. If you do, you’ll have to pay a fine (罚款) or get hurt.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the streets safer.
New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan. The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them walk.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences (栅栏) along streets.
Do you ride a bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane (车道) when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet (头盔), ask him to put one on, too. “People on motorbikes must wear helmets”, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan. When you ride in cars, don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and-run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you a reward (奖赏).
And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.
