Do you live in a big city I do. Every day, the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of souls (灵魂), each of them living in their own way. It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here. And every single person has their own unique story.
However, people here can often feel quite lonely. It's a strange contradiction (矛盾) — other people are around you at every moment, but you still feel like you're the only person on the planet. You can walk through a crowd and feel like you're floating (漂浮) alone in space. Even the busiest shopping mall can feel like a foreign planet.
Have you ever felt like this It's not an unusual feeling. Living in a crowded city can often make people feel this way. There are many ways to do with this feeling — but perhaps the best way is to rely on your friends.
When I'm feeling lonely or sad, the first thing I do is to pick up my phone and text (发短信) a friend. All of us are busy with work and our own matters — but my closest friends always take the time to reply. In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily, friends are the best medicine for these feelings. I've gotten through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends. Take time to develop your own friendships. You never know when you will need someone to lift you up.

You might have been told before that watching American TV series is a good way to improve your English. The show Friends is one of the most commonly suggested shows for English students.
Friends is a classic American situation comedy, or sitcom for short. It has been one of the most popular sitcoms since 1994. What has made the show so popular
Its humor is, of course, the main reason. Sitcoms like Friends are full of lighthearted and funny jokes. According to a research, the number of jokes in popular US sitcoms ranges from 3.4 to 7.4 per minute. Friends has 6 jokes per minute. This pace of humor keeps the audience relaxed, but also fully involved in the show.
When you laugh at the jokes, you might hear people laughing along with you on the show. This is another special feature of sitcoms—the laugh track. Dating back to the 1940s, the laugh track aims to create a theater experience at home. This makes the show even more interesting—when others laugh, we want to laugh too.
But sitcoms are not only about jokes and laughs. As American writer Ken Sanes said, sitcoms are often about the trivial matters of daily life and every character is as real as we are. They have fears and foolish emotions, and also do crazy things. The weaknesses they show help us relate to them.
"Sitcoms give us permission to move beyond the idealized images of ourselves and the world," as Sanes wrote. "They give us permission to be imperfect."
31.What's the main reason why people love to watch Friends
A. It is funny. B. It has a special laugh track.
C. It is about our daily life. D. They want to learn English.
32.What does the underlined word "lighthearted" mean in the text
A. Unforgettable. B. Serious. C. Enjoyable. D. Empty.
33.What's the use of the laugh track
A. To draw our attention. B. To remind us of daily life.
C. To help us understand the jokes better. D. To make us feel like sitting in a theater.
34.According to Ken Sanes, which of the following is TRUE
A. Sitcoms are all about humor.
B. The characters in sitcoms are foolish.
C. The characters in sitcoms can be related to us.
D. Sitcoms enable us to create idealized images of ourselves.
35.What's the best title for the text
A. The Power of Humor
B. Relax with a Good Laugh
C. How to Improve Your English
D. Friends—the Most Commonly Suggested Show

Dear Mike,
I have valued many things in the past three years. And the one I value most is the book called Harry Potter, written by J. K. Rowling.

Now I become outgoing and have many friends. That's why I value it most.
Yours,
Li Hua
