1、Making friends is a skill. Before you make friends, you have to decide whom you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do. 交朋友最快的方式是微笑.
When you smile, people think you are friendly to them and easy to talk to. It may not be easy to smile at first, but remember most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.To talk with others is a good way to make friends. One easy way to start a talk with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends some questions about themselves. Who are their favorite singers? Where do they live? 他们放学后做些什么?
There are all good questions to start a talk. Make sure you have something to add to the talk,too.
When someone asks you a question, you’d better have an answer for themRemember that nothing will stop a talk more quickly than a shrug for an answer.

25、
One of the most often asked and most controversially(有争议的) answered questions is "What should I do when I meet a blind person?" A quick Google search will turn up plenty of answers, which are quite different from each other. So, obviously, there is no general agreement on what to do when you meet a blind person.
There are no special rules or does and doesn't that can deal with this situation. There is only one principle(原则): Blind people are nothing more or less than people who happen to be blind. As such, it is our own job to take care of ourselves, and we are grateful to no one else for special care or leadership. For we think we are equal(平等的)to normal people.
The best thing to do is nothing. Don't suppose you know what we need. If we do need something, we'll politely let you know.
Forget everything you've heard about the blind even if you consider yourself to be an expert. Blind people have plenty to say about "experts". Especially, forget anything you've heard or read about "Ten Things to Do if You Meet a Blind Person". The advice will probably just cause more embarrassment(尴尬). More of it is made up by sighted people anyway and doesn't necessarily stand for the blind's view.
There is completely no way to second—guess the situation by imposing(强加)any preformed ideas. Even if you've known other blind people, don't think you know what to do with every one of them. The thing that often makes us angry is to hear "It's OK. My mother(sister, cousin, friend)is blind."
Blind people are as different from each other as any two people on this earth. There are no similarities among us that you can depend on. Even the degree of vision, hearing or touch that we use can be very different. Most blind people do have same degree of vision,and even the very few of us who are totally blind may use our touch and hearing very effectively.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer________.
A.is a blind person B.hears more clearly than others
C.never asks others for help D.thinks blind people need special care
【2】According to the passage, which of the following opinions may the writer disagree with?
A.Most blind people can take care of themselves.
B.Blind people aren't equal to sighted people.
C.Blind people generally dislike those thinking they understand the blind a lot.
D.Each person, blind or sighted, is different from anyone else.
【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Never Help the Blind B.Try to Help the Blind
C.Not Every Help Is Good for the Blind D.Learn More about the Blind
26、 A computer program that could help catch and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.
If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it impossible to understand them. But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database ( 数据库) of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure. “Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be hard to use,” he told New Scientist magazine.
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music.Dr Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientists would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the languages.
However, Dr Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a “code(密码)book”.
【1】Why did Dr Elliott come up with the program?
A.To learn more about outer space.
B.To develop a new language.
C.To help translate messages from aliens.
D.To compare an alien language to human languages.
【2】According to Dr Elliott’s opinion, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?
A.Coming up with a program.
B.Knowing its structure.
C.Understanding aliens.
D.Discovering aliens.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Some necessary conditions for making the program work.
B.Dr Elliott’s findings about alien languages.
C.Three important functions of the program.
D.The number of sentence structures of human languages.
【4】How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?
A.Mix the message with 60 human languages.
B.Translate the message and send it to the database.
C.Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.
D.Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.
【5】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Not all languages have their own structures.
B.To translate alien languages, there is much work to do.
C.The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.
D.Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.
27、A Bite of China
Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food?Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Noodles are a symbol of a long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean a long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.
