That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity (大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve (解决). Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But al true friendships have three things in common.

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.45. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.” A. short   B. strong  C. thick  D. tall46. From the text we know ______. A. most people call bamboo plant trees    B. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago47.

Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects(工程).D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.COne of the best-known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States.

Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.Doctor Strong’s books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s original(最早的) drawings and some of his writings.Most of Doctor Strong’s books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in nineteen eighty-four.Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand. 49.

Bexell has spent a lot of time teaching young people the value of protecting the environment. “The younger generation in China can afford to care,” Bexell said before the earthquake. “They’re not starving. They have food, good jobs, and access to education.”Now, Bexell worries about the people she has been working with and who are up in the mountains. She doesn’t know whether they and their families are safe. And she knows the work to which she is devoted has become more urgent(急迫的)during the immediate crisis.Bexell and her Chinese colleagues have been trying to spread the message that the tourist boom, population growth, and pillaging（掠夺）of resources form terrible threats to the environment.There are stories of pandas wandering out of the forest and into villages. This is a troubling sign for what should be a rare species.To make matters worse, there are fears that with the earthquake and landslides, bamboo could massively die off. That’s the main food source for the giant pandas, whose habitat was already damaged.In April, Bexell took Block way up a twisting mountain road into the Longxi-Hongkou National Nature Reserve. The reserve was set up in 1997 to protect the giant panda and its habitat. It was very near the epicenter（震中）of the earthquake, so this area suffered severe damage.57．Bexell is devoted to________ in Sichuan Province.A．protecting giant pandas                    B．environment-protection educationC．research on people’s lives               D．research on the environment after earthquakes58．The main threats to the wildlife and the environment are the following EXCEPT ________.A．population growth                                                  B．tourist developmentC．bamboo’s massive death because of bad weather     D．the overuse of resources59．The meaning of the underlined word “habitat” in paragraph 7 is _________.A.低地     B. 山地    C.高地     D.栖息地60.According to what Bexell says, ________.

Meanwhile, one of the representatives of the People’s Congress, Chen Fei gave each representative of the national minority nationalities a bamboo basket and a handkerchief to respond the order. As we can see in Picture 1, plastic bags have caused a severe waste of resources. They get easily broken and are left abandoned everywhere, ending up as litter. Worse still, the low rate of recycling results in the badly polluted environment. Fortunately, people have to realize the importance of environmental friendly and taken effective measures to reduce the consumption of plastic bags using bamboo baskets, as we can see in Picture 2. In my opinion, the ban on plastic bags will bring China in line with a growing international trend to cut plastic bag use. Besides, rubbish has been acknowledged as one of the country’s biggest environmental challenges and the ban on plastic bags is one of the solutions to the problem.
