I was once baffled by what the definition of a good friend w
26、as, until I discovered a single step that if taken would make you the greatest friend. It is willingness. That is all it takes in order to be considered a good friend. Willingness must come from within your heart. Listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. The will to s
27、acrifice for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. For instance, as you are about to leave to enjoy your Saturday night, your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels, you must be willing to give up your Saturday night
28、and go to your friends house and try to comfort him in any way that you can. You must always be willing to give advice to your friends. For example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do, you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice.
29、 The willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. You must care about how your friends feel and what theyre experiencing. Caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do, because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against th
30、em, you must be the one to care. Nobody ever said being a good friend was easy.

34、to buy one of your puppies. “Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to th
35、e farmer. “Ive got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer.And with that he let out a whistle, “Here, Dolly!” he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link f

44、ome two-thirds of respondents go to bed with their phones nearby and cant switch them off, even though they want to, because theyre afraid theyll miss something.Mobiles have changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding a fifth of all respondents set up first dates via text and almost

50、g. The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that corresponds to your self-image, theyre saying, “I agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gi
51、ft should be taken as a form of compliment(恭维) . On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult(侮辱) to your character. Expensive gifts. Naturally, some gifts like jewelry will be more expensive than others. But some people give higher priced gifts than
52、necessary for the situation. Someone who gives an expensive gift often feels that he should receive more praise than if he had given a less expensive gift. Therefore he is giving himself a gift, too: status. Homemade gifts. Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries todayso
53、much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered extraordinary. If you receive a homemade gift, youre lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quantity of love. No matter what the results of the homemade look like, remember its the thought that counts. Books. People
54、 who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. A good way to know this is to find out whether or not the giver bought the book according to how large it is. If you happen to receive a large heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things app
55、ear than in the way they actually are. Anyhow, giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the books said to him.63.

59、rve and choose to suffer in silence. By the time we do eventually find the courage to make our point, we have generally already allowed the problem to get to us, and we are angry. In this state, we can all too easily become aggressive, preparing for battle and turning what should be a rational discu
60、ssion into a conflict. To complain effectively, you need to he specific about your problem and communicate it clearly using words which are objective and fair. Going over the top emotional language and unreasonable claims will get you nowhere. Good negotiators tend to be calm and logical. They start
61、 by explaining the situation and stating their requirements clearly, without threat. Most complaints prompt a defensive response from the other person, but by being reasonable yourself, you stand more chance of achieving the positive outcome you want. If you feel angry or upset about what has happen
62、ed, by all means tell the company, but do so calmly, showing that you understand the situation from all points of view, but explaining what you will do if your complaint is ignored.

83、resulted in serious traffic jams causing many people to get to work late. The driver of the car was confirmed dead at the scene; however, his passenger is still in a serious condition at the hospital.In the high court, a couple was sentenced to 8 years in prison for the murder of their newborn child
84、. The couple, a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman, were accused of abandoning their newly born daughter, which resulted in the babys death.In last nights snowball lottery, a surprisingly high number of people won. 47 winning tickets have already been confirmed.

85、e extra number was 17.15 ABCBC 610 CACCB 1115 BCCAC 1620 BAABA 2125 BADCB 2630 ACACA3135 ACADB 3640 CADDB 4145 CCBDA 4650 BCBAD 5154 DACD 5558 ADBB 5962 DCDB 6366 ACDB 6770 DADC解题导语 作者的儿子在一次意外事故中被严重烧伤，在作者的劝说下，他昂首挺胸地返回了学校，并主动放弃了整容手术。诚然，外表只是虚假的东西，真正重要的是人的内心。31A对方给作者打电话，说作者的儿子被“送进”了急诊室。turn in表示“归还”，不符
86、合语境。32C根据本句后半部分的“fly him to the burn unit in Seattle”可知对方已经联系好了“飞机”，打算把作者的儿子送往西雅图治疗。33A结合上文提到的内容可知作者立刻意识到了事态的“严重性”。34D根据下文内容可知作者的儿子被烧伤是“意外事故”。A项通常用来表示重大事件。35B根据本句后半部分的内容可知是“点燃”木炭时。36C浇有过多汽油的木炭喷出的火苗烧着了作者儿子的衬衣，此处catch可理解为“着（火）烧着”。37A当时，作者的儿子身上火势熊熊，“幸运的是”，其中一个孩子反应敏捷，及时采取行动，从而挽救了作者儿子的生命。38D那个孩子的目的是想扑灭作者
87、儿子身上的大火，由此可推断他是让作者的儿子在草地上“滚动”。39D那个孩子虽然救了作者儿子一命，却没能“及时”挽回大火对作者的儿子造成的肉体伤害的局面。40B上文提到作者的儿子被送往西雅图救治，所以此处是作者的儿子经过治疗后“康复”。41C根据本句后半部分的内容可知这里说的是六个月之内不能进行整容的原因。42C根据常识可知如果胳博上有一条10英寸长的伤疤，一定非常“明显”。43B如果自己不把伤疤放在心上，其他人也会这么做，但这并不意味着他们没有“注意到”伤疤的存在。44Dpass on表示“传递”，即作者把这种智慧传给自己的儿子。45A作者的儿子将作者的建议牢牢地记在“心”中，昂首挺胸地返回了
88、学校。46B经过六个月的漫长等待，作者的儿子认为自己的伤疤无关紧要，决定放弃整容手术。matter表示“要紧，有关系”。47C上文提到医生告诉作者的儿子六个月后才可以实施整容手术，而此时的他发生了思想转变，作出“决定”不再进行任何整容手术。48B此处是cause sb. to do sth.结构，表示“导致某人做某事”。定语从句中的we believe可看做是插入语。49A在作者看来，外表和衣着只是“虚假的”评判标准。后三项分别表示“严格的”“道德的”“一般的，大体的”，都不符合语境。50D 本句的前半部分提到要把外表和衣着等外在表现抛在脑后，由此可知作者强调的是内在美。A【文章大意】当今社会
