True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, b     1 later he or she may let you down.
A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. T  2 good times or bad times, they will stand by your side. They will not l 3 you alone when things get difficult. They will a 4 you without trying to change you. A friend will b 5 new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.
True friends will keep your worst secrets as you will keep t 6 . They will be honest and you can always believe in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to worry about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.
Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship between you, you must do the same thing as w 7 . Be there for your friends when they are in need and share the good times with them .O 8 them the same things they give to you. Friendship will break quickly if only one person is giving and p 9 effort(努力) into it.
You will find there is nothing more v 10 than having a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized(珍惜) than true friendship.”

Learning a new language isn’t easy. For many of us, speaking the language is even harder! Here are some tips(建议)to help you become more comfortable speaking English.
Tip 1  When you study, make your mouth do what your mind is learning. If you read aloud, you make your mouth and your mind work. This will help you with both speech and pronunciation.
Tip 2 Talk to yourself as much as possible. You need to be comfortable making sounds in English. All over the day, talk to yourself in English! This will help you feel comfortable thinking in English. Then write down what you are saying and read it aloud.
Tip 3  Have a “study partner”.Get together with him or her at least once a week and study together. Speak as much English as you can whenever you meet. Then you can help each other.

The New Year
One New-year morning, Edward’s father gave him two dollars. He left the house happily. He wanted to buy some books. On the street, he saw a poor family, the father, mother and three children.      , and they were shivering(颤抖).
“Happy New Year!” Edward said to the man.      . He couldn’t understand English. But he pointed to his mouth. It seemed he was saying, “We have nothing to eat.”
Edward understood.     , and he gave one dollar to the man, and the other to his wife.

Their eyes were full of gratitude(感激)! They said something in their language. It probably meant, “Thanks a lot.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought.
“     ,” said Edward, “I gave my money to some poor people. They seemed to be very hungry. I can buy my books until next New Year.”
“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books.      . I saw you give the money to the poor family. Be ready to help the poor and every year will be a happy New Year to you.”
