21、   Friends are people who share similar values with us.And keeping strong friendships is an important part in most people's life.Friendships can help us fight against loneliness, get rid of anxiety(焦虑) and have better physical health.But it's hard to keep a friendship.

According to a research led by Megan Robbins, a professor at the University of California, the key to keeping a friendship is to use “we-talk”.The researchers examined 30 different studies on over 5,000 people.This largest-ever analysis(分析)of “we-talk” suggested that the more we use the words” “we”and “us”, the happier and healthier relationships will be.The word” makes people much closer to each other. “It offers a deep understanding on whether people regard themselves as individuals (个体)or as a part of the whole.The use of words is a window that we can know about what people are thinking and feeling without asking themselves, Robbins said.Her research also found that “we-talk”was helpful to solve conflicts(冲突).It may bring about positive(正面的) thinking on the opposite side.

Comparing with “we-talk”, there is “I-talk”, which refers to the use of “I”, “me”,and “mine”more often when writing or speaking.Earlier, researchers from the University of Arizona, the US, examined a set of data that came from 4, 700 people.They found that too much”I-talk”showed that someone was feeling stressed or experiencing negative feelings.

The two studies suggested that too much “I-talk” may make us feel bad.But “we-talk” may encourage us to be more positive.So next time when you're talking to a friend, try using more “we-talk”.you may find yourself feeling more positive and the effects it has on your friend may be positive as well.

23、   “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important; that showed he cared. But he never expected to get a chance（机会）to save a real whale in his own neighborhood.

It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales’ coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. Many people, including Jake and his family, ran out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie.

Then one whale swam towards the land. It came with the waves（海浪）, and when the waves receded, its huge body was left on the sand. Now, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers（营救者）. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to get the whale back into the water, but it was no use.

An animal rescue service team soon arrived to help move the animal, Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At last, Jake thought, they could help in some way.

Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that they needed it. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a while under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water-a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.

24、I entered a university after years of hard study. I thought my life would be full of happiness and knowledge. But my life in the university is not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑). I don’t know what my future would be like.

Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don’t want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.

I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream to join the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.

At last, I want to say to everybody, “Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dream may not be smooth and wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, you can find there is no greater happiness than making our dream come true.”

25、Reading newspapers has become an i【1】 part of everyday life, Many people read newspapers as the f【2】 thing to do in the morning; others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they learn what is h【3】 in the world.

Sometimes, however, we do not have e【4】 time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a h【5】 that we only have a few minutes to look at the names of the passages. Newspapers can be f【6】 everywhere in the world. We can get many different k【7】 of newspapers in big cities, of course, but in some of the mountain villages we can see f【8】 newspapers.

Some newspapers are published once a week, but m【9】 of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day! As you know different people enjoy r【10】 different papers. Some like world news, and others prefer short stories. They just choose what they are interested in.
