Text LearningReflections: Friendship and loyalty①How many of us recognize true loyalty in a friend? Loyalty consists of（参考Unit1，TextA）a friend, who will stick by you, through thick and thin. A friend who is always honest with you and never betrays the friendship with lies is a loyal friend. If you have a loyal friend, you have indeed found a true virtue in that friend.（承上句）②The current trend on the internet is befriending anyone who requests to be your friend. However, this new trend may lead to disasters.（承上句）It may be popular and trendy to have a network filled with a multitude of mutual friends. However, one true loyal friend may be the only friend you need.③A term used on the popular Facebook site is B.F.F. This acronym means best friends forever. Are they really your best friends forever? You might ask yourself this question, "Will they share my private matters with others on the pages of Facebook, or perish the thought, engage in gossip about me with others?" (1)If the answer to that is , "I don't know", more than likely, they will not be your best friends forever. Maybe not, even for a day.本部分重点及难点：1. If the answer to that is , "I don't know", more than likely（很有可能）, they will not be your best friends forever.more than likely: very likelymore than happy: very happymore than pleased: very pleased请认真答题，答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩！【单选题】6. He is _______ willing to shall his happiness with us.•A．more•B．more than•C．enough•D．too【答案】B【解析】本题考查more than+adj.。
"more than"后接形容词相当于"very+形容词"，本句中more than willing意为"非常乐意"。
句子的意思是"他非常乐意同我们分享他的幸福。
"注意D 选项：too…to…意为"太……以至于不能……"意思不符。
⑦A best loyal friend does not care who is invited to your party. They will attend your party and celebrate you, just in the way a best loyal friend should do.⑧Reconnecting with a best loyal friend is easier to do on the pages of Facebook. However, a virtual friend does not assure you of his loyalty. My caution to you is that you'd better pay attention to the smiling faces on the Facebook pages. In the eighties we were warned of smiling faces in a song, which contained these lyrics, "A smile is just a frown turned upside down, my friend." Now, that is the undisputed truth for my generation.本部分重点及难点：2. Loyalty found in a friend is akin to making a deposit in a bank account.(1) akin to: similar to(2) make a deposit in a bank account 往银行账户存款make withdrawals from a bank account3. In essence, water does seek its own level. 本质上，水自然会向下流--朋友间总是惺惺相惜。
4. If you were a B.L.F. way before Facebook gained notoriety, then I'm sure you understand the priise of loyalty in a friend.way （与介词或副词连用，加强程度）very far 很远如：She finished the race way ahead of the other runners. 她第一个跑到终点，远远领先于其他选手。
The shot was way off target. 这次射的远离目标。
The price is way above what we can afford. 价格高得我们绝对付不起。
way back: a long time ago 很久以前I first met him way back. 我和他初次见面时很久以前的事了。
