In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms Watkins.Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms Ann and sending gifts regularly, long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals.The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates.Ms Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time.They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son.She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly.I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms Ann’s life.I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son.They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms Ann.Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire him in return.

High school began with meeting new friends, which was the most exciting part of that period.However, I noticed the difference with middle school right away since students around me were trying their best to get good grades.As for me, I saw these years as our last opportunity to spend time together as a group.
It was surprising for me to find out that my friends, including my best friend, were no longer willing to meet very often after school.This made me realize that perhaps I failed to realize the true meaning of these final years.I should state that it became especially clear after I talked to my best friend.He told me that he was really worried because I seemed to have no plan when it came to preparing for college.To be completely honest, he was right.
Luckily, my best friend was wise and able to explain his point of view to me.Also, he offered to spend time studying with me and getting me ready for the test to make sure I did not miss out on anything meaningful from the textbook.This was surprising for me since I was confident that activities like reading textbooks could not be enjoyable.I was wrong, and this challenge taught me that having fun in high school does not just mean going to parties or spending time in cafes.Instead, you can have an enjoyable experience that will also be good for your future.
I am glad that I was able to learn from this situation.After sometime had passed, I understood and was able to change my behavior and attitude towards studying in high school just in time.Now, I am studying harder to get more knowledge and try to understand which subjects I am most interested in to find out what I want to study in the future.
5.For the author, how do students in high school differ from those in middle school?

You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is.Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that.Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him (her) what he (she) thinks would make the situation better.If, for example, he (she) says that he (she) feels like he (she) doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite him (her) along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him (her) in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.
9.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is .
A.normal B.destructive
C.productive D.extreme
10.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Friendship. B.Relationship.
C.Jealousy. D.Admiration.
11.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.
B.There’s always a solution to solving the problem of jealousy.
C.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution.
D.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self-development.
12.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To explain what causes jealousy.
B.To offer some advice on making friends.
C.To introduce the way to cope with a jealous friend.
D.To explain how destructive the jealous emotion is.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When a friendship hits a wall, how do you know whether to work on the relationship or let it go? “It actually is a matter of life and death,” wrote Lydia Denworth in her book.“Friendship is not a choice.It’s a necessity that is important to our ability to succeed.” If you’ve lost touch with good friends, it could be time to work through hurt feelings and repair the friendships. 13 .
Think and write down the good
Before you face a difficult conversation with a friend, pause and think it over.“Think of the moments when this friendship has brought you joy or excitement,” suggested Adam, author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness. 14 .He also encouraged sharing that list in conversation with the friend.
Choose a different way to communicate
15 .“People are happy to get mails or postcards.Write more letters or send someone a book you think they would enjoy,” Adam suggested.Adam also suggested a deeper letter writing approach:“Try writing letters to each other before you talk.In your letter, include why you think the relationship feels hard and why you want to repair it.”
Give it time and try again
People differ in how they deal with conflict (争执), so remember that you may need to give a friendship some breathing room before trying again. 16 .She also suggested an honest approach such as, “Hey, I felt terrible since we had conflict.I’d love to get things back on track since I really appreciate our friendship.”
17
Sometimes a friendship suffers because of a miscommunication, and sometimes the problems run much deeper.Franco encouraged people not to let a single problem break up a friendship.“Conflict is a chance to improve a friendship.Don’t give up on friendships because one problem has occurred,” Franco said.
A.Don’t give up
B.Stay with your friends
C.Here are some ways to repair a friendship
D.Then write down things you appreciate about a friend
E.However, you should find ways to change your relationship
F.If repair efforts have not worked, try a different way to communicate
G.Franco, a friendship expert, said that friendships may require time to make progress

二十年后
短篇小说《二十年后》以纽约一个寒冷漆黑的夜晚为背景。大部分人已经下班回家,城市的这个角落静悄悄的。一名正在该地区巡逻的警察看到一个男人站在商店外面。警察走近男人,发现他的脸上有一道伤疤。他们开始聊天,男人开始讲述自己的故事。
“二十年前的今晚,”男人说,“我和吉米·韦尔斯——我最好的朋友,也是这世上最棒的小伙子——在这儿的‘乔老大’布雷迪餐厅吃饭。我们俩在纽约一起长大,就像亲兄弟一样。那时我十八岁,吉米二十岁。第二天一早我就要去西部赚大钱了。可你没法让吉米走出纽约,他觉得地球上只有(纽约)这么一个地方。反正,那天晚上我们约定,不管日后各自情况如何,不管距离多远,都要在二十年后的同一天、同一时间在这儿再聚。我们当时觉得,不管要做什么,二十年的时间足够自己找到出路、挣到钱。”
“听起来挺有意思,”警察说。“但我觉得,你们这两次见面间隔太久了。你离开后,没有收到过你朋友的消息吗?”
“嗯,不是的。我们联系过一段时间,”男人说。“但是一两年后,我们彼此失去了联系。你知道,我西部的生意很大,我不停地四处奔波、忙东忙西。但是我知道,只要吉米还活着,他就会来这儿和我见面,因为他一直是这世界上最真诚、最可靠的老伙计。他绝对不会忘记我们的约定。今晚,我从千里之外赶来站在这扇门前,只要我的老朋友出现,这一切就都是值得的。”

二十年后
短篇小说《二十年后》以纽约一个寒冷漆黑的夜晚为背景。大部
分人已经下班回家,城市的这个角落静悄悄的。一名正在该地区巡逻
的警察看到一个男人站在商店外面。警察走近男人,发现他的脸上有
一道伤疤。他们开始聊天,男人开始讲述自己的故事。
“二十年前的今晚,”男人说,“我和吉米·韦尔斯——我最好
的朋友,也是这世上最棒的小伙子——在这儿的‘乔老大’布雷迪餐
厅吃饭。我们俩在纽约一起长大,就像亲兄弟一样。那时我十八岁,
吉米二十岁。第二天一早我就要去西部赚大钱了。可你没法让吉米走
出纽约,他觉得地球上只有(纽约)这么一个地方。反正,那天晚上
我们约定,不管日后各自情况如何,不管距离多远,都要在二十年后
的同一天、同一时间在这儿再聚。我们当时觉得,不管要做什么,二
十年的时间足够自己找到出路、挣到钱。”
“听起来挺有意思,”警察说。“但我觉得,你们这两次见面间
隔太久了。你离开后,没有收到过你朋友的消息吗?”
“嗯,不是的。我们联系过一段时间,”男人说。“但是一两年
后,我们彼此失去了联系。你知道,我西部的生意很大,我不停地四
处奔波、忙东忙西。但是我知道,只要吉米还活着,他就会来这儿和
我见面,因为他一直是这世界上最真诚、最可靠的老伙计。他绝对不
会忘记我们的约定。今晚,我从千里之外赶来站在这扇门前,只要我
的老朋友出现,这一切就都是值得的。”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story
that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it
can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan
by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms Watkins.Little did he know that this
challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a
week developed a habit of checking up on Ms Ann and sending gifts
regularly, long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan
still visits Ms Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college
goals.The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates.Ms
Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her
own stories from a different time.They have become the best friends,
with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son.She said, “The
best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly.I’m so glad my
son has added more sunshine to Ms Ann’s life.I hope he always
remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps
his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-
year-old son.They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot
always be with Ms Ann.Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine
into Ms Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire
him in return.

High school began with meeting new friends, which was the most
exciting part of that period.However, I noticed the difference with
middle school right away since students around me were trying their best
to get good grades.As for me, I saw these years as our last opportunity to
spend time together as a group.
It was surprising for me to find out that my friends, including my
best friend, were no longer willing to meet very often after school.This
made me realize that perhaps I failed to realize the true meaning of these
final years.I should state that it became especially clear after I talked to my best friend.He told me that he was really worried because I seemed to have no plan when it came to preparing for college.To be completely honest,he was right.
Luckily, my best friend was wise and able to explain his point of
view to me.Also, he offered to spend time studying with me and getting
me ready for the test to make sure I did not miss out on anything
meaningful from the textbook.This was surprising for me since I was
confident that activities like reading textbooks could not be enjoyable.I
was wrong, and this challenge taught me that having fun in high school
does not just mean going to parties or spending time in cafes.Instead,
you can have an enjoyable experience that will also be good for your
future.
I am glad that I was able to learn from this situation.After sometime
had passed, I understood and was able to change my behavior and
attitude towards studying in high school just in time.Now, I am studying
harder to get more knowledge and try to understand which subjects I am
most interested in to find out what I want to study in the future.

You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know
how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses
over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when
you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is
hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is
nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is.Don’t let
jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be
back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem
is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just
that.Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless
of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time
alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s
been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond, then use
the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that
something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him (her)
what he (she) thinks would make the situation better.If, for
example, he (she) says that he (she) feels like he (she) doesn’t
get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new
friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite him (her)
along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of
you.Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should
be a compromise.Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply
because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him (her) in your
new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This
destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into
worst enemies.Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous
friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can’t,
be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and
how far you won’t.

展而失去朋友。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When a friendship hits a wall, how do you know whether to work on
the relationship or let it go? “It actually is a matter of life and death,”
wrote Lydia Denworth in her book.“Friendship is not a choice.It’s a
necessity that is important to our ability to succeed.” If you’ve lost
touch with good friends, it could be time to work through hurt feelings
and repair the friendships. 13 .
Think and write down the good
Before you face a difficult conversation with a friend, pause and
think it over.“Think of the moments when this friendship has brought
you joy or excitement,” suggested Adam, author of Friendship in the
Age of Loneliness. 14 .He also encouraged sharing that list in
conversation with the friend.
Choose a different way to communicate
15 .“People are happy to get mails or postcards.Write more
letters or send someone a book you think they would enjoy,” Adam
suggested.Adam also suggested a deeper letter writing approach:“Try
writing letters to each other before you talk.In your letter, include why
you think the relationship feels hard and why you want to repair it.”
Give it time and try again
People differ in how they deal with conflict (争执), so remember
that you may need to give a friendship some breathing room before trying
again. 16 .She also suggested an honest approach such as, “Hey,
I felt terrible since we had conflict.I’d love to get things back on track
since I really appreciate our friendship.”
17
Sometimes a friendship suffers because of a miscommunication, and
sometimes the problems run much deeper.Franco encouraged people not
to let a single problem break up a friendship.“Conflict is a chance to
improve a friendship.Don’t give up on friendships because one problem
has occurred,” Franco said.
A. Don’t give up
B. Stay with your friends
C. Here are some ways to repair a friendship
D. Then write down things you appreciate about a friend
E. However, you should find ways to change your relationship
F. If repair efforts have not worked, try a different way to communicate
G. Franco, a friendship expert, said that friendships may require time
to make progress

参考范文:
Dear Jack,
I am writing to seek your advice on a matter that has been troubling
me ever since I entered high school.
Being in a new environment has made me realize the importance of
friends with whom I can share thoughts and interests.However, I have
found it quite challenging to connect with my fellow classmates and
establish relationships with them, which further increases my feelings of
loneliness.I admire your ability to connect with people, so I think you
might have some advice on how to overcome this challenge.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could share any tips that are of
help to me.
Yours,
Li Hua
