It is universally known that friendship is one of the permanent themes in the literature of all languages.

This is   37   human beings were born to need the warmth and laughter of friends. Some of us like    38  friends, while others different friends. Personally,I prefer both.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36   had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39   to express my own   40   on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41   experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice. 
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43   youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45   our will. We can’t force life    46    our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48  the world. I think we should learn to accept   49   life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to   50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51  that they slip by and leave you feeling   52   . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress. 
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54    . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Listening to your heart
Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could    1    show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so    2    of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little    3    , we’ll surely end up in the right place.
4     on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than    5     during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She     6     the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers   7    her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area,     8     herself by saying that they would be     9      in “Tri-City” and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she    10    tried again. This time she informed passengers that the destination would be Saginaw. Now    11    broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom (對(duì)講機(jī)) and    12     her. “I’m your pilot, folks,” he said. “Don’t    13   — I know where we’re going.”
It’s nice when someone knows the     14    . And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable.    15     we cannot always depend on others for the    16    answers for living our lives. In the end, nobody can point us to all the best   17    for life’s problems; nobody else can    18    us to the path that is just right for us. We find that way ourselves. We find the way by    19   . Listening to our hearts — for the direction we need is almost always there, deep within.
So if you feel a bit lost, don’t worry. This may be a    20    time to listen. And remember — your pilot knows where you’re going.

What did you dream about last night? Did your teeth fall out or did you fly? Maybe you died or someone you know did．Or maybe you were back in high school．These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something．Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism．

C
Attitude isn’t quite everything when it comes to being successful, but attitude plays a part in every stage of your life. A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs and helps them keep those jobs more than any other factor.
Your attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunate －especially because a bad attitude can be fixed.
You can find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist ( 悲觀主義者) looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in difficulty . A poet of long ago put the difference between optimism and pessimism this way: Two men looked out from prison bars －one saw mud; the other saw stars.
Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem. Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realizing that if the job were simple, the employer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hide even the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively(客觀地 ) about them, try to keep in mind how your vision can be obstructed. Take a step back, and look at the situation from a new angle.
You can’t do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. You’re guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie ahead. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude.

A. ignore the problem               B. look for opportunity in the problem

D
What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia"( 記憶缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主張）that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.
69. According to the passage, it is widely believed that_________.
A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiences
B. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults and children have different brain structures
70. "Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that_______.
A. Chinese and English are totally different languages
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. adults and children have different memory patterns
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
71. According to Annette Simms,_______________.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand
