AThese days having a best friend seems so important to girls. However I have learned that having one best friend is not the way to go. It's so much better to have many great friends.As I was coming into Middle School, I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School! At first things were great, she introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. Then things started to change. Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn't make new friends, and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend was a struggle.Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group. Amy and I were never partners with each other in class projects or gym; it was always, "Who gets the privilege(特权)of being Jennifer's partner." Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one.I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes. They chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door. Sometimes when they left, they'd walk right past me. No "Thanks for waiting." No "Sorry we took so long." It was as if they couldn't even see me.After months of living through school this way, I had really changed. I was moody, depressed, lonely. I spent lots of days trying not to cry, I felt so left out.Finally, near the very end of the school year, I was so incredibly sick of having to battle for friendship.I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and stopped waiting for her after class.It was tough at first, but now, I have tons of friends. We have fun and happy times together and I love them all to bits. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There's no struggling to be on top. I wish Jennifer could understand. Maybe one day she'll look back at what happened and she'll change, but even though I lost a friend, I am a happier person.21.

Knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, his anxiety grew. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study and handed him a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?", then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Then, a telegram arrived, telling him his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to the son.When he arrived at home, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the bible and turned the pages. From the back of the Bible dropped a car key. It had a tag with the dealer's name and the words… "PAID IN FULL".How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Remember, what may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.24.As graduation day approached the young man became anxious, because______.A. the young man‟s father was seriously ill.B. he was anxious to know whether he had passed the exams.C. he was anxiously waiting for the new carD. he felt upset to leave college25.

For a while, silence fell.“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were really interested in talking,” she said. “It seemed that there‟s a big gap between me and those with hand-held devices (设备)” .Shuai is not the only one feeling segregated from others by mobile technology. According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong 54.29 percent of them would use cellphones while having dinner with their families. It has affected relationships with their parents. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting has made us feel more connected than ever, they‟re also driving us away from people around us.Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are now used to a new way of b eing “alone together.”Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But online connection cannot replace a “real conversation”.Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people‟s voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The exchange of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting people.However, experts remind us that it‟s unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert points out that, it is still the mobile owners who‟re avoiding personal contact.We ourselves use these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “The way to improve conversation is by understanding each other. Simply throwing away mobilephones is not a solution,” she said.32.The best title for the passage would be “_____________”.A. Mobilephone addictionB. Development of mobile technologyC.

It is the cellphone that ends a real conversation33.The underlined word “segregated”in Paragraph 3 means “_________”A. preventedB. separatedC. protectedD. injured34. Which of the following statements is not true according to Chen Chen?A. It is the mobile users that are to blame for the death of conversation.B. Mobile users avoid real contact with others by sending messages or calling.C. Only by totally forgetting mobile phones can we solve the problem.D. We can better conversation by means of understanding each other.35. Who thinks the exchange of thoughts in a real conversation make us cleverer?A. Shuai YunyunB. Sherry TurkleC. Lan GuoD.
