Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.
Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of themselves and their own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.
The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated(对待). This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.
Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.

After having more than a few acquaintances(相识的人) online，it might come a blow to keen social net workers like Barack Obama，or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself.
According to a research，the average person has in fact twice as many online friends as physical ones. Users of social networking sites have on average 121 online friends as compared with physical ones. The study also claims that people tend to be more open，confident and honest with their virtual friends than their “real” ones.
“For most people，the Internet is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends，but for people who are isolated(隔离的) due to illness，it plays a more vital role，and can often act as a lifeline，” says Helen Oxley，a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital.
“People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate(促进) friendships，since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness. It can foster(培养) a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated，which is important to psychological well being.”
In wider society，the ways in which friendships are formed are changing，with people recognizing that they can develop deep and meaningful connections with others that they’ve never met，and may never meet. About one in 10 people has either met their best friends online，or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web.
The findings highlight how social introductions are also changing. Only five percent would ask for someone’s phone number，while 23 percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network.
At the same time，however，a questionnaire completed by 4，427 suggests that 20 percent of parents believe their children’s education is affected by surfing the Net. They think their children are doing poorly at the school due to the amount of time they spend on non educational websites.
1.The underlined word “it” in Para 1 most probably refers to ________.
A. people spending too much time surfing the Net

C. people having more virtual friends than real ones
D. people making meaningful connections with strangers
2. We can infer from the text that________.
A. sick people can recover more quickly by surfing the Net
B. students get important information online
C. students who surf the Net always perform not so well
D. people tend to trust their virtual friends more than their real ones
3. What percentage of parents believe that the Internet has a bad effect on their children

It was time for a school holiday and I was at home. My family’s house was located in (位于) an area by the sea.
I just sat down in front of the television. Suddenly I heard a loud noise and then the first shock started to hit. My mom and I ran to the front door. We got out and we were standing in the street holding on to each other to stand up. The ground was covered with snow. I could remember watching black cracks in the earth snaking their way along the ground. A tree in our back yard was actually cut in half.
As suddenly as the earthquake started, it was over. Dead silence. Then a light snow began to fall. All the power was off—no radio, no TV and no communication with the outside world. We found out later that the ground area was lowered an average of 35 feet.
My dad succeeded in getting home from where he worked in the city centre. Later that evening we were told to leave the area because a terrible ocean wave was expected. We spent the night and the next day and night away from home at the shelter.
I often think about the courage my dad showed during that time. Before Dad retired, he was a senior manager of a famous local company. This company was damaged because of the quake. Dad stayed in the company to rebuild the business and rebuild our family home.

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters.It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases(楼梯) at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place.Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris, cover your mouth with a handkerchief(手帕) or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
