What is true friendship? True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friends’ help, you will 36 them to dinner, and you will put your friends in a difficult 37 when you have to protect yourself. 38 true friendship is understanding of the souls and the 39 of the hearts. True friends are connected in hearts every minute whatever the 40 is. True friendship involves 41 : doing something for someone else while expecting nothing 42 ; sharing thoughts and feelings 43 fear of judgment or negative criticism. 44 is essential to true friendship. We need to be able to 45 our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will 46 on the Internet the next day! Failing to 47 those secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. True friendship has 48 to do with fame, power, or possessions. True friends 49 contact you at usual time, but come to you 50 you need their help. They care not 51 you are, but who you are. You’re not his stepping-stone to 52 but are his walking stick to 53 difficulties. When you are happy, you are 54 to forget him, but when you are in trouble, he is the first one you will 55 for help.

I met Jane Black in university, and soon we became friends.The first time I went to her home I found her family quite different from my own.

From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other.We set a place for blame at the dinner table. 4 ,the Whites didn't worry about who had done what.They picked up the pieces and 5 with their lives.The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car 6 from their home in Florida to New York.The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently 7 sixteen.Proud of having a new driver' s license, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.She 8 her license to everyone she met.

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals,it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided to become a vet(獸醫(yī)).Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college,training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases. Much to my surprise,I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know,many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu. Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career. After graduation,I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is an illness that attacks birds,but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job is dangerous,it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases 小題1:The writer wanted to become a vet mainly because______.

A.The writer’s happy family life.
B.How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.
C.How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.
D.What difficulty the writer met in the research work.

A.Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.
B.Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.
C.Dangerous as a vet’s job is,it is significant to the human race.

I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with grandparents from the time I was two until I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was at work. Grandma loved music. It was her that first _31 me to Elvis Presley as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in 32 with it. Most five-year-olds ask for 33 for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’albums. I would play them non-stop and 34 to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good. Grandma played the piano and 35 me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. I 36 started playing music on the piano, and soon Grandma was paying for me to take piano lessons from a lady living in the 37 . I would come home from __38 and walk three houses down for my lesson. I _39 took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a(n) 40 and allow me to continue to teach myself. Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I brought along my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to _41 her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice 42 in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most 43 of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very _44 and said, “That’s wonderful!” I _45 to play for her throughout the week I was home. My grandma passed away two days ago. In my opinion, part of her will live on through every song I write or sing in my life.
He never believed that true love existed. His parents divorcedwhen he was young and he didn’t think that true love was able to survive in today’s world. He was 36 wrong. His grandparents were always supportive to the kids and tried to help them when their parents 37 . He knew they loved each other, he just wasn’t sure it was true love. He had 38 heard them say, “I love you” or they hadn’t shown any affection 39 hugging. They had been married for over fifty years and he thought that their true love was gone. But again he was wrong. His grandfather, Ralph, was struck ill in his junior year of college and he didn’t know how serious it was until he fell and hurt his hip (臀). While in the hospital, the doctors 40 a tumor (瘤) in his lungs. They told him that he had lung cancer and due to previous illnesses, they could not operate and he was too 41 for chemotherapy (化療). It was around Thanksgiving and by Christmas his condition worsened. The cancer spread and in late January his sister away at college too, called him crying and said she was on her way home because the doctors told their family that their 42 had only a week to live, that by the weekend he would 43 be with them. Their family came in from around the country and stayed next to his side. It was not until then that he 44 that true love did exist and would survive beyond death. Every night as his grandfather grew more fragile, he would 45 sweet words to grandmother, Madge. The night before he died grandmother was walking out of his room and he said to her “I love you Madgie baby”. The next morning he received a phone call at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his short battle 46 cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest 47 on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love.
Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36, and occasionally they come back to bite you! Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38. That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket. “Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?” As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41. I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days! As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it. A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49, the voice in my head told me I was being a fool. Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51, and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me. From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!
One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.” 小題1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A.a(chǎn) friend who is ill
B.a(chǎn) man working at his desk
C.a(chǎn) person having lost a close friend
D.a(chǎn) stranger who looks somewhat worried
小題2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A.cheerfulness
B.cleverness
C.a(chǎn)bility
D.politeness
小題3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
