Most people like to have friends who like to do t

11、he same kind of things as they do.That doesnt mean you have to be exactly like each other, just, that you enjoy some of the same things. Think about your favorite things to do and try to talk to your classmates at lunch or rest about your hobbies. You are sure to find at least one person whos excite

12、d about the same things that excite and interest you, too.Making friendsThe quickest way to make a friend is to smile.When you smile,people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile. But you can practice smiling in front of a mirror. When you look at yourself i

13、n the mirror, think if youd rather talk to your smiling face or your usual scared or angry face.One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.Doesnt it make you want to talk to him?Ask your

14、 new friends questions about themselves.Its the only way to get to know what theyre like and its the only way theyll know that you are interested in them.Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too.When someone asks you a question,do have an answer for them.There is nothing that wil

15、l stop a conversation quicker than a shrug(聳肩) for an answer.ActivitiesAfter youve made a friend who shares the same interests with you,its always fun to plan activities together that youll both enjoy. Inviting a friend to your house after school is a great way to make your friendship closer.If you

16、know a game your friend likes to play, you can plan to do that together. When you play a computer game, one person is always left sitting with nothing to do but watch. Not fun.21Before you make friends with someone,make sure _.A.both of you are exactly like each otherB.both of you enjoy some of the

19、ther in your free time.BOne of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, moth

20、er-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states. said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising fr

21、om immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions(規(guī)定) was the 1994 Toubon law in France, and the idea has been

22、copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.It is especially di

23、fficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the purity of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has

24、 not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, si

25、milar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon-especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communicatio

26、n promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.24Neville Alexander believes that _.Amother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countriesBglobalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaCglobalization has led to the rise of multi-language trendDlack of mother-tongue ed

27、ucation can lead to economic failure25The underlined word futile (in paragraph 2) most probably means _.Aworkable Bpractical Cuseless Dunnecessary26What can we infer from the last paragraph?AEnglish has taken over fields like public communication and education.BMany aspects of national culture are t

28、hreatened by the spread of English.CMost language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.DEuropeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.27The best title for the passage is _.AFighting against the rule of EnglishBProtecting local languages and identities

29、CGlobalization and multi-language trendDTo maintain the purity of language by lawCThe brain is a remarkable part. Its responsible for thoughts and feelings. Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can have an impact. The adult brains of people who lived through lots of str

30、ess before the age of sixand then became depressed or anxious as teenagerswere different compared with adults who had an easier childhood. It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing (使內(nèi)在化) the stresses experienced years earlier.Researchers already knew that the shape and

31、size of a childs brain can change in response to lots of stress. They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if, as kids, theyd lived in poverty. Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual changes in their brain shape. But no one had tested if the early stress and la

32、ter brain changes were linked.Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to 21.Sarah Jensen is one of the new studys authors. Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times as kids. And, she concludes, “This is not necessarily harmful.” To some

33、 extent, thats just life. What can be dangerous, she says, is when children experience too many forms of difficulties. Her teams new data suggest that the tougher the childhood, the stronger the impact on the brain might be.Whats happening in the world around us relates to how we feel.Her team linke

34、d more childhood stress to more depression.Still, she notes, its possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression, you might be able to prevent the changes seen here.“If you can change the environment, you can change the course of things.” Sarah says. So, she recommends, if teens develop

35、anxiety or depression, its good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice.28When people had a hard childhood,_Athey will have a brave attitude to lifeBtheir way of thinking may be strangeCthey will be good at dealing with stressDthe shape of their brain may be changed29What is the breakthrough

36、 of the new research?AThe size of the brain can change.BThe brain can be influenced by stress.CPoverty can affect the brains shape in future.DChanges in brain are connected with earlier hardship.30Its a problem when children _Ahad a lonely childhoodBled a peaceful childhoodCgot different kinds of ha
