We often use the word “friendship” but what does it really mean？What is a close friend？Here is what four people said.
I think a close friend is someone you get on really well with，who helps you when you have problems，who gives you advice，and who always has time for you.I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy，but now I have several.They are all women—I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex(异性)．
—Marie
I don’t really have any close friends.I know a lot of people but mainly through work，and the kind of social occasions(场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties.I think if you come from a really close family，then friends are a bit unnecessary.The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.
—Richard
I think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time，and who you still get on with.They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together.I’ve got three close friends who I was at high school with and we often go away together (without our parents of course)．We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking，play football and be outside in the open air.
—David
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with.I go out at weekends with a group of people—there are about seven of us，and I’d say we are all close friends.We also live near each other.I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance(在远处)；you need to be able to see each other often.But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things.I mean I’m at university but none of my friends are.
—Anna

This love story began in Winchester,43 years ago，when Rick was strangled(卡住) during birth，leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his arms and legs.
When Rick was 11，he managed to use a computer by touching a switch with the side of his head.He was finally able to communicate.And after a high school classmate was injured in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him，Rick typed，“Dad，I want to do that.”
How was Dick，a fat man who never ran more than a mile at a time，going to push his son five miles But，he tried.That day changed Rick’s life.“Dad，” he typed，“when we were running，it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore！”And that sentence changed Dick’s life.He became crazy about giving Rick that feeling as often as he could.He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon.This year，at ages 65 and 43，Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon，in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters.“NO question about it，” Rick typed.“My dad is the father of the century.”
And Dick got something else out of all this too.Two years ago，he had a mild heart attack during a race.“If you hadn’t been in such great shape，” one doctor told him，“you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So，in a way Dick and Rick saved each other’s lives.
They compete in some races every weekend，including the latest Father’s Day.That night，Rick bought his dad dinner，but the thing he really wanted to give him was a gift he could never buy.“The thing I’d like most，” Rick typed，“is that my dad sits in the chair and I push him once.”

The Internet plays a big part in human life.We use it for work and entertainment.We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy.We can even use it to learn a new language.We use the Internet to keep in contact with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about.The list goes on and on.
Well，there may be no going back to an Internet-free life.But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health？It might be，say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group-teenagers.So，try to be a responsible guardian for your children.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online are more likely to have high blood pressure.High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard.Over time，this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke.High blood pressure can also cause heart，kidney and brain diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit，Michigan did the study.It involved 335 young people，from 14 to 17 years old.One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”．Researchers found that out of these 134 teens,26 had high blood pressure.The researchers say the study is the first one to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.Another research has connected heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety，depression and obesity.
The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow.For the purpose of the study，she explains，teens considered heavy Internet users were online on average “25 hours a week”．In a statement she said，“Using the Internet is part of our daily but it shouldn’t consume us.”
Ms Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones and to do some kinds of physical activities.She also suggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day，five days a week.
8．The author mainly wants to tell us .

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading them to become more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains，“For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older，our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”
“For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
12．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB
A．To explore new means of transport.
B．To design new types of cars.
C．To find out older driver’s problems.
D．To teach people traffic rules.
13．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe
A．It keeps them independent.
B．It helps them save time.
C．It builds up their strength.
D．It cures their mental illnesses.
14．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers
A．Improve their driving skills.
B．Develop driver-assist technologies.
C．Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D．Organize regular physical checkups.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．A New Model Electric Car
B．A Solution to Traffic Problem
C．Driving Service for Elders
D．Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

The Internet plays a big part in human life.We use it for work and entertainment.We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy.We can even use it to learn a new language.We use the Internet to keep in contact with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about.The list goes on and on.

The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow.For the purpose of the study，she explains，teens considered heavy Internet users were online on average “25 hours a week”．In a statement she said，“Using the Internet is part of our daily but it shouldn’t consume us.”
Ms Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones and to do some kinds of physical activities.She also suggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day，five days a week.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading them to become more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains，“For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older，our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”
“For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
12．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB
A．To explore new means of transport.
B．To design new types of cars.
C．To find out older driver’s problems.
D．To teach people traffic rules.
13．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe
A．It keeps them independent.
B．It helps them save time.
C．It builds up their strength.
D．It cures their mental illnesses.
14．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers
A．Improve their driving skills.
B．Develop driver-assist technologies.
C．Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D．Organize regular physical checkups.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．A New Model Electric Car
B．A Solution to Traffic Problem
C．Driving Service for Elders
D．Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

We often use the word “friendship” but what does it really mean？What is a close friend？Here is what four people said.
I think a close friend is someone you get on really well with，who helps you when you have problems，who gives you advice，and who always has time for you.I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy，but now I have several.They are all women—I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex(异性)．
—Marie
I don’t really have any close friends.I know a lot of people but mainly through work，and the kind of social occasions(场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties.I think if you come from a really close family，then friends are a bit unnecessary.The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.
—Richard
I think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time，and who you still get on with.They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together.I’ve got three close friends who I was at high school with and we often go away together (without our parents of course)．We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking，play football and be outside in the open air.
—David
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with.I go out at weekends with a group of people—there are about seven of us，and I’d say we are all close friends.We also live near each other.I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance(在远处)；you need to be able to see each other often.But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things.I mean I’m at university but none of my friends are.
—Anna
