(2014·江西省奉新一中高一第一次月考)
[1]Everyone makes mistakes. How do you react when a family member, friend, or a classmate makes a mistake Some of us may shout out , complain, or punish. Unfortunately, these reactions to mistakes sometimes greatly hurt both sides. In fact, there is a better way to deal with a mistake.
[2]Reframe(重组) “MISTAKE”： Change “MISTAKE” into “MIS TAKE.” Doesn't that have a different feeling Therefore, a mistake is not so bad as expected. We can learn from it and it is likely to lead to success in the end.
[3]Use mistakes as an opportunity for learning. Most of us want to hide our mistakes, but we may be more willing to share our “MIS TAKES” and let others learn from them. Either an individual or a family can benefit by openly recognizing and correcting mistakes, rather than pretending that they didn't happen. In fact, a mistake, if corrected quickly and in a creative way, can become ____________ for learning.
[4]Think of mistakes as opportunities to prove yourself. A mistake becomes an opportunity to create a close friend or customer. For example, in business, studies show that one of the things all customers want is recovery when the organization has made a mistake. They want us to apologize sincerely. With creative thinking, we can make them satisfied with the way we deal with a mistake.
[5]We have learned to allow people around us to make mistakes. Now give them “protection” when they make a mistake. If you give people both permission and protection, you will get along well with them. Show them how they can turn a mistake into learning something about themselves so they don't make the same mistake again.

There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.
You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on this special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider, but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
Help the friends. A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient. So have a helping hand ready at all times.
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer. So, if you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can remain in contact(联系). You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.
If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable, congratulate them and celebrate with them.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2014·浙江省绍兴一中期中)
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.
文章大意：友谊有时候是很难顺利进行下去的，因为通常人们并不是很坦诚，人们有时会隐藏事实，因此人们最终也会受到伤害。其实这些大多数与友谊有关的问题，都是因为人太自私而不去关心别人的需求造成的。在本文中作者就此情况进行了分析并且给出了建议。
1．This passage mainly talks about ________.
A．the importance of friendship
B．the advantages(益处) of friendship
C．the problems of friendship
D．the disadvantages(劣势) of friendship
答案：C 主旨大意题。文章开头提出“Friendships can be difficult.”然后在下文提出友谊难以维系的原因，和一些朋友间会出现的具体问题，以及如何看待这些问题等，所以文章中心是讨论友谊中所碰到的一些问题，而C选项内容恰好能概括中心，故选C。
2．According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when ________.
A．one is honest B．one is selfish
C．one is open D．one is kind
答案：B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need.”可知友谊出现问题的原因是由于人们太自私而不能关注到朋友们的需要，所以判断B选项正确。
3．According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.
A．to treat your friend as you like to be
B．to give your friends whatever you have
C．not to hurt your friends' feelings
D．not to think of your own need any more
答案：A 细节理解题。由文章第三段“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.”可知一个人要按照自己希望被对待的方式去对待朋友，换句话说你希望别人怎么对待你，那么你就怎样去对待别人，故A为正确选项。
4．What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems
A．To have a comfortable life.
B．To build stronger and healthier friendships.
C．To be treated the way you want.
D．To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.
答案：B 根据文章末段“It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.”可知了解如何处理朋友间的问题为的是能够维持和别人的友谊，结成牢固的友谊，故B为正确选项。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2014·吉林市期中)
About five years ago I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little excited, but I worried I would never fit in with the other sixth graders.
Lucy, a girl in my class, who I thought was not ready for change, didn't like me from the start. In fact, I was sure she hated me. I would ask her a question, and I could tell she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term. Lucy was horrified (惊骇的). I didn't wear make up (化妆品), and I didn't wear those terrible bell bottom pants. I didn't exactly look like the coolest girl. But, I kept smiling at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her she looked beautiful, even when she was angry.
Finally, Lucy let me talk to her, even in sight of her “cool” friends. She started telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember that first time when she smiled at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her thanks. Lucy invited me over to her house for a party, and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends. Lucy, the girl who hated me, called me her best friend. After that, we still were good friends a whole year later.
I may move to Arizona after that, but I will never forget Lucy. It's funny—I still remember her birthday. She was a great friend. And to think, she considered me her enemy at first. Though it was hard, and it felt like I was wasting my time, and losing my dignity(尊严), I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me. I'm not stupid, I didn't think she was right in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And we became great friends.
About two weeks ago, I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln: “Am I not destroying my enemies(敌人)when I make friends of them？” Immediately, I smiled, thinking of Lucy. That sentence just reminded me how great it was for me to change Lucy into my friend in that state of Iowa five years ago.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Jenny，
I often think if I am as important to you as you are to me.
We had an unhappy time yesterday. I really felt sad after it and almost apologized(道歉)to you. However, you could still laugh and talk with others like nothing had happened. I suddenly realized that I was not that important to you. You didn't even realize that I was angry and sad. What's more, you even forgot my birthday this year.
Goodbye, my friend. I have closed my feeling toward you. It is to say goodbye, my friend. But it is meaningless(无意义的)for us to be friends any longer.
Lucy
Dear Lucy，
I'm sorry that I hurt you so much yesterday. But here is something I really need to tell you. I never thought the quarrel we had yesterday was as serious as you thought. I just felt tired and didn't feel like going shopping. Susan and Lily are also my good friends. I couldn't pretend(假装)not seeing them when they passed by. I also couldn't let them know I was blue because of the quarrel. I didn't want them to feel sad just because I was sad. I'm your best friend, but I don't want to be your only friend. I don't want to be with you all the time because sometimes I need to have my own time. I want to spend some time with my other friends and my brother. Please try to make more friends. You will feel much happier if you have more friends. And remember, I'm your best friend forever!
Jenny
1．What's the purpose of Lucy's letter
A．To tell Jenny that she is really sorry for what happened yesterday.
B．To tell Jenny she doesn't want to be friends with her any longer.
C．To ask Jenny not to be friends with Susan or Lily.
D．To ask Jenny if she means much to her.
答案：B 作者意图题。根据Lucy的信的最后一段，可知她写这封信的目的是想告诉Jenny她以后再也不想跟她继续做朋友了。
2．In the letter, Jenny suggests Lucy should________.
A．make more friends
B．leave her alone
C．make friends with Susan and Lily
D．spend more time with her family
答案：A 细节理解题。根据Jenny信中的“Please try to make more friends.”可知她建议Lucy多交些朋友，而不是只有她一个朋友。
3．According to the passage, if we say someone is blue, we mean he/she is________.
A．angry B．sad
C．kind D．happy
答案：B 推理判断题。根据Jenny信中第八句“I didn't want them to feel sad just because I was sad.”可知blue在这里是指“伤心的，不愉快的”。
4．After reading Jenny's letter, we learn that________.
A．Jenny and Lucy are both students
B．Lucy doesn't know how to keep a healthy friendship
C．a friend in need is a friend indeed
D．Lucy is Jenny's only friend
答案：B 推理判断题。根据Jenny的信，我们可知Lucy仅仅因为Jenny不想陪她去购物就很伤心，还跟她吵架，后来看到Jenny跟别的朋友聊天，她就很气愤，最后又写信说要跟Jenny断交，由此可推断Lucy不知道该怎样保持一段健康的友谊。

(2011·安徽)
While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomforable it seems, particulary when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign (发起运动) for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.
But it is not just the extra tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for (满足需要) less than half of the male (男性) population，” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “Seven foot beds would work fine.”
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which means the longlegged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particulary Americans.
文章大意：本文讲述了现在人们的身高普遍增高，饭店的桌子需要加大，旅馆的床需要加长，否则它们就会失去顾客。
5．What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign
A．To provide better services.
B．To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C．To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D．To attract more people to become its members.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话可知，高个子人们组成了TPCGB俱乐部，为了高个子而战斗。且把注意力转向了宾馆、饭店，从而引起人们的注意。
6．Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy
A．7′2″. B．7′.
C．6′6″. D．6′3″.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话可知：七英尺的床应该是合适长度的床。
7．What may happen to restaurants with small tables
A．They may lose some customers.
B．They may start businesses elsewhere.
C．They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D．They have to provide enough space for the long legged.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据短文倒数第二段可知，如果饭店的桌子小了，高个子人坐不下，这样使得顾客到别地方去了。
8．What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh
A．Tall people pay more for larger beds.
B．6′6″ beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.
C．Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D．Guest rooms are standardized.
答案：B 细节理解题，根据短文最后一段可知，在爱丁堡的宾馆里，标准床已换成了6英尺6英寸大的床。
