Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.

“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”

QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.

And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”

Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online.”

Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have known someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.

 “If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”

63．From the passage, we know“…they are all just a few clicks away” means“     ”.

A．it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking

B．it is popular to make friends online

C．it is possible to live much closer to your friends

A．a(chǎn) good place to spend her time when bored

B．the biggest messaging service in China

C．a(chǎn) safe place to chat with strangers

D．the best place to make friends

A．All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.

B．We should think more of our friends in real life.

C．We should be careful about boys or men online.

D．Chatting online is a waste of time and money.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friends’ trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money on your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding.

1.Some friendships don’t last very long because ____.

A. there are too many people who want to make friends.

A．大度        B．節(jié)約       C． 吝嗇       D．和氣

4.Which of the following isn’t mentioned (提及)in the passage?

閱讀下面短文，從短文后所給各題的中個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出或以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

My neighbor Peter Gate’s life was shadowed for years by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates. He and his wife 21 after six years of marriage. Then the news about Peter changed. His wife Betty came back; he 22 a fine position in a company.

One day he told me what had changed his 23 : I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt(罪惡感) would 24 me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a wall between my wife and me. Then I had an 25 visit from the person I 26 most to see —the 27 of the college classmate who died. “Years ago”, she said, “I found it in my heart, through prayer(祈禱), to 28 you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.” She 29, and then said 30, “You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Peter Gate. Who do you think you are to 31 the people of this town and God ？”  “I 32 her eyes and found there a kind of 33 to be the person I might have been if her son had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt 34 to love and be loved.”

So, you see, it is only through forgiveness of our 35 that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.

Forgiveness is a good quality.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆福建省高二下期末聯(lián)考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

Over the last 70 years．researchers have been studying happy and Unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference．Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes．However of all the factors，wealth and age are the top two．

Money can buy a degree of happiness．But once you can afford to feed，clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference．

Researchers find that，on average，wealthier people are happier．But the link between money and happiness is complex．In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries，yet happiness levels have remained almost the same．Once your basic needs are met，money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends，neighbors and colleagues．

“Dollars buy Status(社會地位)，and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts，which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors，for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs．

In a research，Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money，but for friends，family, job，health-rose furthest beyond what they already had，tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距)．Indeed，the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone．“The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income，”says Michalos．

Another factor that has to do with happiness is age．Old age may not be so bad．“Given all the problems of aging，how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen．

 Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it，or they're more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve．But Carstensen thinks that with time running out，older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't．

 “People realize not only what they have，but also that what they have cannot-last forever,” she says．“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85，for example，may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”

1.According to the passage，the feeling of happiness _________.   

A．has little to do with wealth       B．increases gradually with age

C．is measured by desires           D．is determined partly by genes

2.Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs _________.

 A．make them feel much better       B．provide chances to make friends

 C．improve their social position     D．satisfy their professional interests

3.Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more _________.   

A．optimistic      B．practical      C．successful     D．emotional

4.Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if __________.

A．the gap between reality and desire is bigger

B．they have a stronger desire for friendship

C．their income is below their expectation

D．the hope for good health is greater
