二、阅读理解。
A
I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly.When I talk about the person who influenced me most.I must think of my best friend quickly.
When I was in my university,one of my classmates sat beside me.His name is Wang Tao.He is my unforgettable friend in my life.He is good at study and handsome.Everyone knows that he is a genius (天才) of my university.www.21-cn-jy.com
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others.But he doesn't like others to praise him,because he thinks what he did is common.There is an old saying,“A friend in need is a friend indeed”.Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.21·世纪*教育网
I remembered that my mathematics was mediocre at that time,but he was excellent in solving mathematics questions.He often received high scores.Of course,I wished I could reach at his level.Since we talked all day long,he was patient and polite to answer my mathematics questions.Slowly,I made great progress in mathematics.I passed the examination finally.Then we became friends naturally.And now,I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in a society,so we need a lot of friends.There are two kinds of friends,good and bad,bad friend may make our life failed,while good ones make our life successful.To me,Wang Tao is a very good friend.I learned so many advantages from him,and I changed more and more excellently.www-2-1-cnjy-com
We separated three months ago.Now I miss him very much,and I hope that our friendship will continue to be just as strong after we graduate.2-1-c-n-j-y

You may not realize it,but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school.School is also a place where you learn to get on well with people.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?21教育网
If you discover that you have problems getting on well with your classmates or friends,the most important thing to learn is tolerance.Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We cannot change the way that other people do,so it is important to learn to live happily with them.【版权所有:21教育】
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.21*cnjy*com
You need to remember an old saying,“Treat others how you want to be treated”.If you tolerate something,it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance,because it will make everyone's life easier.Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests.The world is very different,and practicing tolerance in your own school can help make a difference.

A.what's important for a student

On that Sunday afternoon,my friend and I sat on the beach chairs and watched our girls playing in the waves.
Suddenly,the girls all ran away.About fifty meters from us,the girls stood next to a middle-aged man and watched him fishing.He smiled at them.They ran back to us—all except my three-year-old daughter,Anna.
“Anna!Come here!Play with your friends!”I shouted,realizing that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren't working.These days,many parents were told terrible stories about children being taken away by strangers.Good mums should teach their daughters that the world is a dangerous place.So I felt a little better when Anna finally ran towards me.Then she took up a shovel(铲子) and looked me in the eye,“I want to be with that man.”
She ran back,sat down next to him and started digging.
I watched my daughters,every few seconds looking quickly at my five-year-old to make sure she hadn't been swept out to the sea,then back to Anna to make sure she was safe.
A few seconds later,Anna ran back to us,waving something shiny.
It was a toy fish—yellow and rubber.This must be what he was using for fishing.And he'd given it to Anna.The three other girls saw it and ____________ .
“My friend gave me that fish!”Anna shouted loudly.The girls ran after each other with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air.
Suddenly,the man walked towards us with three more rubber fishes.He handed them to each of the girls.“Thank you,”they said quickly.
“Thank you,”I said,realizing that there are lessons for mothers to learn that only three-year-olds could teach them.
(C)23.How did the writer feel when Anna stood beside the man?
A.Happy. B.Bored.
C.Worried. D.Quiet.
(D)24.From the passage,we can infer that the writer often ________.
A.watches others fish

C.goes to the beach with her kids
D.tells her kids not to talk to strangers

五、任务型阅读。
It seems that everybody tells lies.Not all lies are big.In fact,some lies are “white lies”.We were taught not to tell lies when we were young.But telling white lies isn?t really bad.Most of the time,people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don?t want to hurt someone.Here are some ways they do it.
★ Giving false excuse
Sometimes people lie because they don?t want to do anything.For example,someone invites you to a party.You think it will be boring,so you say you?re busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good.
Often we don?t tell the truth to make someone feel good.For example,your friend cooks dinner for you,but it tastes terrible.Do you say so? No! You probably say,“Mmm…this is delicious!”
★ Lying to hide bad news
Sometimes,we don?t want to tell someone bad news.For example,you have just had a terrible day at work,but you don?t want your family to worry about you.So if your parents ask you about your day,you will just say everything was fine.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】

Should We Help Strangers?
Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help strangers.Different students have different opinions.21世纪教育网版权所有
Some think we should try to help strangers.Helping others is a virtue,and helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need others' help some day.If everyone isn't willing to help us just because we are strangers to them,it's hard to imagine what our world will be like.21教育名师原创作品
However,some are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us trouble.Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of kindness.
In my opinion,we should try our best to help others when they are in need of help,but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble.If everyone tries a little kindness,our world will be full of love.
