Do you have true friends Do you want to know better between you and your friends There are three different kinds of friends: "pest friends", "guest friends", and "best friends".
The first kind of friends is simply acquaintances(熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don't miss them when they're not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don't tell them. That is why they are called "pest friends".
The second kind of friend could also be called "guest friends". They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories; you usually have a few things in common, but you don't talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears(害怕), and they don't open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friend, the "best friend", is the one you know the deepest. You're like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other's houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you're wrong, and though they may not be perfect, they at least will always care about you, and hardly ever do anything bad to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.
34. How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling stories. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing the numbers. D. By giving examples.
35. What can we know about "pest friends" according to the passage
A. We know everything about them, including their family histories.
B. They are closer than acquaintances.
C. We only know their names and nothing else.
D. They will correct us when we're wrong.
36. Why aren't the guests friends as close as true friend
A. Because you don't share your real feelings with each other.
B. Because you have nothing in common with them.
C. Because you don't know their names.
D. Because you only meet them at school.
37. What does the underlined sentence "all best friends start out as just acquaintances" mean in the last paragraph
A. Most acquaintances can quickly become best friends.
B. Best friends are the same as acquaintances.
C. We should treat acquaintances worse than best friends.
D. Friendships can develop from acquaintances to best friends.
42. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Ignas was more relaxed about the race this year.

C. Ignas hoped Mango would win the race this year.
D. Ignas won't join the race next year.
D
I am an English teacher. I really don't like that class "Talk about your family". The students say, "There are five people in my family. My mother, my father..." It sounds like that all families are the same.
Our families are one and only. All have their stories, jokes and so on. They're the place where our personalities were made.
We know our families so well that we even think they're boring. Not at all. Families are the most special things. If you dig(挖) enough into your own, you will get everything for a great book.
My mother started with our family tree(家谱) years ago, not expecting(期待) to get far. However, reading the old records and visiting libraries, she got back 300 years. She found some old stories. What happened to the big family farm Where did the family fortune(财富) go in the 1870s
I'm the traveler in my family, and I love travelling. I always think I got it from a great - grandfather. My two favorite family heirlooms(传家宝) are a photo of him on a horse and a postcard from China. If you look at your family, you open a window to the past.
When my mother, still putting the family tree together, asked me for a few names from my Russian wife's family, my wife got on the phone to check a name or two. But she spent an hour talking with her mother. So you can see that some people start talking about their family stories and they might never stop exploring(探索).
To go back to that English class, let's look at some interesting ways to talk about families. English is rich in idioms(习语) to talk about family life. The black sheep of the family is someone who brings family trouble. If you're true to your family, you can say "blood(血) is thicker than water". "Who wears the trousers in your family " means "Who's the head of your family ". And stories behind them are what I want to hear.
43. What does the writer think of the class "Talk about your family" at first
A. Interesting. B. Boring. C. Special. D. Useful.
44. What does "it" refer to in paragraph 5
A. His family tree. B. His family heirlooms.
C. His love for travelling. D. His family stories.
45. What can we learn from the passage
A. The writer doesn't really like his teaching job in Russia.
B. The writer wants to make a great book for his family.
C. The writer's mother visited libraries to get the family heirlooms.
D. The writer's wife is very interested in the family stories.
46. Amy decides almost everything in the family, so which of the following can describe her
A. She is the dark horse of the family.
B. She is the black sheep of the family
C. She wears the trousers in the family.
D. Her blood is thicker than water.

That's what 120 teams from all over Europe showed at the Corgi Race(比赛). The event brought together many cute corgis and their owners from countries like Poland, Denmark, Austria, and Italy.
Thousands of people came together to watch the races. There were different kinds of races: a single - dog sprint (短跑), a “loudest bark” competition, a costume contest(服装比赛), and a team race.
“This brings much happiness to our family,” said Janina Stoniene, who came to the race with her three grandchildren. The children said they loved the costume contest because dogs were dressed in eye - catching clothing like Batman, a princess or a plane.
A corgi named Amigo won the costume contest. He wore a piece of factory clothing with two small chimneys(烟囱) with the words “Fur Factory” on it. He looked very happy when he won.
Another called Mango was the winner of the single - dog sprint race. “This is Mango, and we are taking part in the Corgi Race for the second time”, said Ignas Klimaika, the owner of Mango. “Last year, we didn't finish the race well though we had daily training. This year, we decided to join just for fun—no training, just to enjoy the race.” he said. “But this year, Mango won the racing competition.” He knows what he did and he's really proud of himself,” said Ignas, who is planning for the race in 2026.

I showed my Drawing Number One to the grown - ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: “Frighten For a hat ” In fact, my drawing was not a hat. It was a picture of a big snake digesting(消化) an elephant. But since the grown - ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the elephant inside of the big snake, so that the grown - ups could see it clearly. They always needed to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like the picture.
The grown - ups’ response(回答), this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of the big snake, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and so on. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career(职业) as a painter. I had been depressed(使沮丧) by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown - ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another job, and learned to fly airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish(辨别) China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. In the course of this life I have had lots to do with lots of serious people. I have spent a lot of time with grown - ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.
83. How many pictures did the writer draw in paragraph 1
