When you ask people what makes a good friend, the answer you’ll often get is presence (存在). A good friend is there for you when you 21 them. Whether it’s helping you through the sadness of 22 a loved one or being by your side when you’re sick, good friends are 23 in good times and bad.

Good friends are 35 honest. Some people would like to stay with people who will tell them what they want to 36 . Good friends will tell you what you need to hear, 37 you don’t want to hear it.
Along with good friends who are present, loyal, and 38 , most people want friends who are trustworthy (可信赖的). If you can’t 39 a person, it’s hard to consider him as a good friend. Mutual (相互的) trust between friends is a building block of a solid 40 that can last a lifetime.

One night, the first floor of the house suddenly caught fire. The fire was big, and soon became a sea of fire.

In order to rescue the little girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.
How could people enter the house? At the very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed to the flames and got into the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the little girl was in his arms. He gave the child to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.

These days, we write emails, text messages, and lists. Everyone’s a writer, including you. But how do you make yourself different from others? How do you stand out from the crowd?
There’s more to becoming a better writer than improving your writing, although that’s certainly part of it. Here are a few useful ways:
1. Make the commitment (投入): sometimes the difference between a working writer and would-be writer is as simple as making a commitment to writing and then stick with it.
2. Do the work: write as often as you can, every day if possible. Spend more time writing than talking about writing or thinking about writing.

4. Read: the single best way to improve your writing, develop ideas, and stretch your imagination is to read.
5. Build a platform: thanks to the Internet, it is cheaper and easier to build a platform today than it ever was before. Learn how to market yourself, find your readers, connect with them, and sell your books!
6. ________: I like to think of a reading audience as a group of people connected by a common interest or passion. Who are your readers?
7. Be yourself: don’t write what’s hot, write what’s in your heart.
Do you take steps every day to become a better writer? What steps have you taken to develop your craft and grow as a writer? Do you have any tips to add to this list? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment, and keep writing!

Being a student, I had much used paper and cardboard (硬纸板) lying around my room, which I hadn’t thrown out yet. I decided that I would try and recycle the paper into new paper. Here I give you an idea of what I was doing with it.

So I cut up the paper into small pieces, put them all in the blender, and turned it on, hoping that the result would be a kind of paper pulp (纸浆).
What was the result? Nothing! I seemed to have forgotten the important step of adding some water into the mixture. The blades (刀片) turned round quickly, but the paper seemed quite calm. So I added some water into the blender, and I succeeded! The green ink and red ink mixed wonderfully with the water. I had a pulpy mixture. I was excited! I emptied the pulp out into a tray, and tried my best to make it flat.
It took a few days to dry up, and when it did, I was pleased to find out that the part of the pulp that was touching the tray turned out to be perfectly flat. I excitedly removed it from the tray, and it became paper. I wrote down some sayings on the paper and put it up on the wall. Every time I passed by the wall, I was proud of my achievement.

Ever since it was completed, in 1885, the Washington Monument (纪念碑) has been a favorite stop for visitors to Washington, D.C. But in 2011, an earthquake rocked the area. Parts of the stone tower were cracked and broken. For safety reasons, the monument was closed to visitors.
Repairs had to be made to the monument. Workers were on the job for 33 months. “We can’t wait for visitors to come back to the monument,” said National Park Service spokesman Brian Hall. Starting on May 12, people could visit the Washington Monument once again. Visitors lined up in the early morning hours to get tickets to enter the monument. Though the tickets are free, it is necessary to control crowds.
After the earthquake, engineers checked each stone in the 550-foot-tall monument, and found more than 150 cracks. The worst damage was at the very top, where the monument shook the most during the earthquake.
Repair work started at the top of the structure and moved downward. But first, a 500-ton framework (框架) of metal and wood had to be built around it for workers to climb on. Workers replaced stones and sealed (封住) cracks of the building. The repairs cost $15 million. Philanthropist (慈善家) David Rubenstein donated $7.5 million of the total repair cost.
The Washington Monument is the tallest building in our nation’s capital. Inside the monument, visitors can ride an elevator to the top. There is an observation area with windows that look down on the city. “It’s an amazing experience to be able to see all of D.C. from one location,” Hall said.
The monument’s home, the National Mall, is a large park with museums, statues, monuments, and gardens. Some of the monuments were built in memory of U.S. presidents. Others honor the men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces.

Many Americans say the hardest job in the world is being the president of the United States. The man who lives and works in the White House must be able to deal with problems twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Even on holidays or in the middle of the night, the president may have to make decisions that affect (影响) both people in this country and the rest of the world.
Doctors nearly always say that high levels of stress are bad for your health. So people would expect a president’s life to be shorter than average. Some people even say that being the president could make a person age two times as fast as normal. But Professor Olshansky was not persuaded. So he examined the lives of the thirty-four American presidents who died of natural causes. He found that twenty-three of them lived longer than most people born at the same time.
The average age of those thirty-four presidents when they died was seventy-three. The professor also found that the first eight presidents lived an average of seventy-nine point eight years. At that time, modern medicines had not been invented.
Four American presidents lived past ninety. John Adams, Herbert Hoover, and Ronald Reagan each lived ninety or more years. But Gerald Ford lived longer than any other presidents. He was ninety-three and a half when he died in 2006. Professor Olshansky says gray hair, hair loss and other changes of a person are part of aging. Presidents the rest of us.
But the researcher thinks there are some reasons why they outlive other people. Most presidents are well-educated. Many are wealthy when compared with other Americans. And they receive the best medical care. They know how to stay healthy, and have the best doctors. As a result, they can afford to live a healthy life long after they leave the White House.
66. What do Americans think about American presidents? (no more than 14 words)
67. Why did Professor Olshansky examine the lives of the thirty-four American presidents? (no more than 18 words)
68. Who is the most long-lived one among these presidents? (no more than 4 words)
69. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)

These days, we write emails, text messages, and lists. Everyone’s a writer, including you. But how do you make yourself different from others? How do you stand out from the crowd?
There’s more to becoming a better writer than improving your writing, although that’s certainly part of it. Here are a few useful ways:
1. Make the commitment (投入): sometimes the difference between a working writer and would-be writer is as simple as making a commitment to writing and then stick with it.
2. Do the work: write as often as you can, every day if possible. Spend more time writing than talking about writing or thinking about writing.
3. Engage with other writers: they will keep your fire burning, and they can help you with your writing. Find a writing club or a group of writers.
4. Read: the single best way to improve your writing, develop ideas, and stretch your imagination is to read.
5. Build a platform: thanks to the Internet, it is cheaper and easier to build a platform today than it ever was before. Learn how to market yourself, find your readers, connect with them, and sell your books!
6. ________: I like to think of a reading audience as a group of people connected by a common interest or passion. Who are your readers?

Being a student, I had much used paper and cardboard (硬纸板) lying around my room, which I hadn’t thrown out yet. I decided that I would try and recycle the paper into new paper. Here I give you an idea of what I was doing with it.
At that time, I was studying in a middle school, and was living with my uncle and aunt. My aunt was very kind and didn’t mind my using her precious blender (搅拌器) to recycle used paper. So I cut up the paper into small pieces, put them all in the blender, and turned it on, hoping that the result would be a kind of paper pulp (纸浆).
What was the result? Nothing! I seemed to have forgotten the important step of adding some water into the mixture. The blades (刀片) turned round quickly, but the paper seemed quite calm. So I added some water into the blender, and I succeeded! The green ink and red ink mixed wonderfully with the water. I had a pulpy mixture. I was excited! I emptied the pulp out into a tray, and tried my best to make it flat.
It took a few days to dry up, and when it did, I was pleased to find out that the part of the pulp that was touching the tray turned out to be perfectly flat. I excitedly removed it from the tray, and it became paper. I wrote down some sayings on the paper and put it up on the wall. Every time I passed by the wall, I was proud of my achievement.
The paper was my own “green” paper! Next step I will find a good site to give directions on how to recycle paper at home to make a fun weekend project!

Ever since it was completed, in 1885, the Washington Monument (纪念碑) has been a favorite stop for visitors to Washington, D.C. But in 2011, an earthquake rocked the area. Parts of the stone tower were cracked and broken. For safety reasons, the monument was closed to visitors.
Repairs had to be made to the monument. Workers were on the job for 33 months. “We can’t wait for visitors to come back to the monument,” said National Park Service spokesman Brian Hall. Starting on May 12, people could visit the Washington Monument once again. Visitors lined up in the early morning hours to get tickets to enter the monument. Though the tickets are free, it is necessary to control crowds.
After the earthquake, engineers checked each stone in the 550-foot-tall monument, and found more than 150 cracks. The worst damage was at the very top, where the monument shook the most during the earthquake.
Repair work started at the top of the structure and moved downward. But first, a 500-ton framework (框架) of metal and wood had to be built around it for workers to climb on. Workers replaced stones and sealed (封住) cracks of the building. The repairs cost $15 million. Philanthropist (慈善家) David Rubenstein donated $7.5 million of the total repair cost.
The Washington Monument is the tallest building in our nation’s capital. Inside the monument, visitors can ride an elevator to the top. There is an observation area with windows that look down on the city. “It’s an amazing experience to be able to see all of D.C. from one location,” Hall said.
The monument’s home, the National Mall, is a large park with museums, statues, monuments, and gardens. Some of the monuments were built in memory of U.S. presidents. Others honor the men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces.

Many Americans say the hardest job in the world is being the president of the United States. The man who lives and works in the White House must be able to deal with problems twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Even on holidays or in the middle of the night, the president may have to make decisions that affect (影响) both people in this country and the rest of the world.
Doctors nearly always say that high levels of stress are bad for your health. So people would expect a president’s life to be shorter than average. Some people even say that being the president could make a person age two times as fast as normal. But Professor Olshansky was not persuaded. So he examined the lives of the thirty-four American presidents who died of natural causes. He found that twenty-three of them lived longer than most people born at the same time.
The average age of those thirty-four presidents when they died was seventy-three. The professor also found that the first eight presidents lived an average of seventy-nine point eight years. At that time, modern medicines had not been invented.
Four American presidents lived past ninety. John Adams, Herbert Hoover, and Ronald Reagan each lived ninety or more years. But Gerald Ford lived longer than any other presidents. He was ninety-three and a half when he died in 2006. Professor Olshansky says gray hair, hair loss and other changes of a person are part of aging. Presidents the rest of us.
But the researcher thinks there are some reasons why they outlive other people. Most presidents are well-educated. Many are wealthy when compared with other Americans. And they receive the best medical care. They know how to stay healthy, and have the best doctors. As a result, they can afford to live a healthy life long after they leave the White House.

67. Why did Professor Olshansky examine the lives of the thirty-four American presidents? (no more than 18 words)

To tell the truth, I was nervous at first, but later I calmed down and I did a good job! My topic is My Father— My Hero. Because of your help, I had corrected all the mistakes in the speech. I was so well prepared that I delivered the speech fluently all the way!
Thanks again!
