【題目】Sometimes people can have fights, but friendship is a valuable gift.1 But with a little effort to step outside of your comfort zone(舒適區(qū)), you can easily make friends. Here you can find some places to make new friends.

Join an organization or a club. This is a great way to find other people who have common interests.2In fact, some of the most valuable friendships are between two people who don’t have much in common at all. However, if you like a specific topic, try finding a place where you can meet people who share that interest.

Volunteer. Volunteering is also a good way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together, you’ll build relationships with people. 4.

Make yourself available. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow to meet people. 5It doesn’t have to be a crowded table, but one with at least two other people. Remember, friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit alone at home.

【題目】The earlier Thanksgiving in Canada was to celebrate the earlier start of winter in the North, ending the harvest season earlier. Thanksgiving in Canada did not have a fixed date until the late 19th century. Many of the individual Canadian provinces had declared their own days of Thanksgiving. The first official Canadian Thanksgiving occurred on April 15, 1872, when the nation was celebrating the Prince of Wales’ recovery from a serious illness. By the end of the 19th century, Thanksgiving Day was normally celebrated on November 6. However, when World Warended, the Armistice Day holiday was usually held during the same week. To prevent the two holidays from conflicting with each other, in 1957 the Canadian Parliament declared Thanksgiving to be observed on its present date on the second Monday of October.

Much as in Canada, Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various dates throughout history. From the time of the Founding Fathers until the time of Lincoln, the date Thanksgiving was observed varied from state to state. The final Thursday in November had become the date of custom in most states by the beginning of the 19th century. Modern Thanksgiving was first officially called for in all states in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln. Influenced by Sarah Josepha Hale, who wrote letters to politicians for around 40 years trying to make it an official holiday, Lincoln declared the date to be the final Thursday in November in an attempt to raise a sense of American unity between the Northern and Southern states. However, a nationwide official Thanksgiving date was not realized until the 1870s. On December 26, 1941, President Franklin D. Rosevelt changed the national Thanksgiving Day from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday.

1What do Canada and the USA have in common about Thanksgiving?

A. They both have fixed dates of Thanksgiving in history

B. They both celebrate their Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.

C. They both celebrated their first official Thanksgiving in the 1870s.

D. They both observed thanksgiving to raise a sense of unity of their countries.

2Who made American Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November officially?

A. Abraham Lincoln. B. Sarah Josepha Hale.

C. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

3What is the passage mainly about?

A. The history of the dates Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

B. The first official Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

C. Modern Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

D. The customs of Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

【題目】In 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged (擴(kuò)大) a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note, money issued (發(fā)行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn’t believe his eyes: slaves (奴隸) happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.

Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother. The picture on the money did not match (匹配) the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.

Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.

Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years’ search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.

Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (場景).He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money”—an exhibit (展覽) of his work—has toured the country.

Jones' paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying. “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.

1How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?

A. Angry. B. Painful.

C. Excited. D. Surprised.

2Why did Jones do research on the money?

A. He had never heard of Confederate money.

B. He wanted to learn about American history through it.

C. It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.

D. His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.

3What did Jones find?

A. About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.

B. The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.

C. Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.

D. Slaves worked long hours on farms.

4What’s the best title for the text?

A. Confederate Money. B. Money Tells a Story.

C. African American Slaves. D. John Jones Changes America.

【題目】When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” 1Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “2”.

To be a good friend or partner, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.3 When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.

4 You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person’s life.

Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourself – respect and life path. As someone once told me “5 They will either take you up or down.”

A. I am afraid so.

B. It is quite true

C. Friendship is the most important factor.

D. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.

E. A friend is a present which you give yourself.

F. The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.

G. Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.

Among of the students who have breakfast every day, only a few have a balanced diet which includes breads, milk and eggs. There is several reasons.
