Friendship can’t be measured （測量） nor can it be weighed. We stopped a few people on the street to find out what part friendship played in their lives. Here is what they said.

My best friend Mark and I really enjoy spending time playing basketball every evening. Even over 10 years after college, we still get the same amount of joy when playing basketball together.—James, 34

The importance of friendship in my life is more than what I can put into words. My childhood friends recently pulled me through hard times when my father died. —Gemina, 38

I didn’t realize the importance of friendship until it was too late. I didn’t keep in touch with friends, but now I have realized that life is much better with friends around. —Tom, 42

(Are we all learning something from Tom’s lesson in life?)

We all should wake up and realize the true importance of friendship because friends accept you for what you are, not for what you can be. —Jane, 21

(Jane has hit the nail on the head, do you think so?)

My friends and I love sharing a beer each weekend. Everything in the world can change but not our dates with our beers. For me, the importance of friendship lies in enjoying the time we spend together with nothing to worry about. —a policeman (who was on duty at the corner of the street)

Most people may think that people who write computer code (代碼) must be good at Maths and logical (邏輯的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.

Software developers (開發(fā)者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.

But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”

Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l(fā) think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

1.What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?

A.Training kids’ logical thinking. B.Helping kids learn to code fast.

C.Helping children learn Maths well. D.Helping kids become more creative.

2.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?

A.It needs to be improved. B.It can help kids play well.

C.It is of great help to today’s kids. D.It is not perfect in training kids’ analytical skills.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.If someone doesn’t learn Maths well, he or she can’t write code.

B.Creativity comes from writing code in daily life.

C.Writing code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.

D.A lot of parents agree that software code will be useful for their kids’ future jobs.

4.The writer wrote this passage __________.

A.to tell how to learn to code well B.to tell about a new game for kids

C.to encourage kids to learn to study well D.to show the importance of creativity
