Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(種子) and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

There are three steps to being friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find a satisfying job and I found this especially difficult as I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree.

To my shame I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with friends. I had been through five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job.

Later that afternoon, while doing my rounds through a quiet neighborhood I had an internal（inside）wave—like a scream（尖叫）—come up from deep inside me and I thought “Why has my life become so hard?”...

Immediately after this internal scream I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed me an earring saying I should keep it in case somebody looked for it. The earring was stamped with words “BE HAPPY”.

At first I got angry. Then it hit me. I had been putting all of my energies into what was wrong with my life rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a list of 50 things I was thankful to.

At first it was hard, then it got easier. One day I decided to up it to 75. That night there was a phone call for me, asking if I would do a one-day training for 200 hospital workers. I said yes and got the job.

My day with the hospital workers went very well. I got a standing welcome and many more days of work. To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my attitude（態(tài)度）to gratitude.

By chance, the day after I found the earring the girl asked me if anyone had looked for it. I told her no and she said “I guess it was meant for you then.”

I spent the next year doing training workshops all around the Seattle area and then decided to risk everything and go back to Scotland where I had lived before. I closed my one man business and bought a plane ticket. One month later I met my wonderful English wife and best friend of 15 years now. We live in a small beautiful house in Scotland.

“THE ONLY ATTITUDE IS GRATITUDE” has been my motto（座右銘） for years now and yes, it completely changed my life.

1.What is the underlined word it in the passage？

A．To make a list of things he was thankful to.

B．The words“ BE HAPPY”.

C．To forget that his life became so hard.

D．The special earring the girl gave to the writer.

2.The word gratitude means “being ________”.

A．thankful B．open

C．careful D．kind

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage.？

A．The writer made a list of 75 things he was thankful to.

B．The writer’s wife has been his best friend for 15 years.

C．The writer has lived in Seattle since 20 years ago.

D．The writer did the training for 200 hospital workers.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Attitude and Gratitude B．The Girl and I

C．Be Happy D．The Earring

Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Luckily, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at small chips（芯片） in everyone’s name tag（標(biāo)簽）.The chips send back name, job, hobbies－whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a new age of using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a small chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin（皮膚）, even under your own skin. Some RFID tags have no energy source because they do not need it. The energy comes from a scanning device（掃描裝置）, which sends out energy and starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information to that object, and the information can be renewed. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing（識(shí)別） each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors may put a small chip under the skin to get a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip might get you to pay for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The idea was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make life simpler.

RFID tags are a small part of this situation. “The world is going to be a connected set of personal small devices.” predicts Dr. J. Reich. But some people are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking（跟蹤）school kids through RFID tags, they say.

When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and other technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

1.The article is intended to______.

A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology

D. predict the applications of RFID technology

2.We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people_____.

A. will have no trouble getting data about others

B. will have more energy for conversation

C. will have more time to make friends

D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer

3.Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of____.

A. scanning devices B. radio waves

C. batteries D. chips

4.Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.

B. Because market competition will become fiercer.

C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
