Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
69. We usually have to accept ___ if we want to be successful.
A. love B. failure C. sadness D. hope
70. What does the underlined word “despair” mean?
A. Upset B. Pity C. Sorry D. Hopelessness
71. What’s the meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?
A. When choosing between “today’ and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow.
B. If you work hard today, you will have a better life in the future.
C. What you can only choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow.
D. The only choice you make is that you should enjoy a better tomorrow.
72. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage people to love each other.
B. To tell people how to deal with happiness and sadness.
C. To give readers some information about life.
D. To remind people to keep having a beautiful dream.
D
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. 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; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust each other. 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 speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, your hobbies or your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas or feelings. These can be very useful 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. 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 look the same exactly. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
73. According to the passage, honesty is __
A. something to share B. the base of a friendship
C. as important as money D. more important than anything else
74. What does the word “them” refer to in the third paragraph?
A. Your clothes B. Your hobbies and interests
C. Your lunch money D. Your ideas and feelings
75. The best title of this passage is “_______ “
A. How to Be a Friend B. Honesty Is the Best Habit
C. Three Important Points in Life D. A Friend in need Is a Friend Indeed

“A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?”—Edward H.Richards.
76 Listening is a learned skill, the same as speaking in public. It just takes much longer to learn! Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day. And I mean active listening, not just listening when it is convenient to us.
How do you practice listening? Here are some basic rules:
77 Are you in the middle of writing something? Put down the pen and fold hands. Are you reading something? Close it so that it will be possible for you to look down and start reading. Then put it down.
Turn off your computer. The computer will distract you from your job at hand-listening.
Face the person you are speaking with. Facing the person you are speaking with help you focus completely on listening. It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.
78 Leaning toward the speaker will show interest. Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreement. 79 Tapping your fingers tells the speaker that you are really too busy for him. Looking that speaker in the eyes tells him he is important.
80 Do not start making comments after the first few words. Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind. Pay attention to the speaker. Really listen what he is telling you in whole.
A. Listening completely
B. Put down whatever is in your hands.
C. We have to learn to listen and speak as well.
D. We all need to learn to listen well.
E. Looking around the room shows you have no interest.
F. Mind your body language.
G. Listening to the speaker carefully and replying quickly.

One Possible Version
Our middle school life will soon come to an end. But I’ll never forget you, Jack. You are my best friend . You’re tall and handsome. You’re so smart and so outgoing that everyone wants to be friends with you. You’re friendly to everyone. I’ll never forget the smile on your face.
I still remember I always laughed a lot when I was with you. On workdays, we did homework together, helped each other and learned from each other at school. We used to play basketball on the playground after school, and we often went hiking on weekends. We had a very good time together.
At this moment, I’m saying goodbye to you and giving all my best wishes to you. I hope you will be happy and healthy forever. I wish you great success in the future.
