Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They
believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families,
it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their
6
friends for some ideas. It is very important for teenagers to have good friends or a group of
friends in their lives.
Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking on the
phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can
discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents even
stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following
questions?
Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?
Have you got a good friend your parents don't like?
Your answers are welcome.
60. Many teenagers think that____can understand them better.
A. friends B. brothers C. sisters D. parents
61. ____is very important to teenagers.
A. To make friends
B. Communication
C. To stop meeting friends
D. Both A and B.
62. When teenagers have something difficult to say to their parents, they usually ____.
A. stay alone at home
B. fight with their parents
C. discuss it with their friends
D. go to their brothers and sisters for help
63. The sentence “Your answers are welcome. ” means“____”
A. You are welcome to discuss the questions with us.

C. Your answers are always right.
D. You can give us all the right answers.

If you want to deal with the association (交往) between boys and girls properly,here are
some dos and don'ts for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make
friends with each other. We can get in touch with the other sex (性别) in public, but not in secret.
When you stay with the other sex, don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person,
you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. You may
have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, you will gladly find you are also as free to
express yourself as others.
Don't fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls during adolescence (青春期) are
rich in feelings. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each
other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An apple
won't taste sweet until it is fully ripe( 成熟的). Boys and girls at middle school are too young to
carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
64. We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT____.
A. with a good state of mind
B. in real friendship
C. in public
D. in secret
65. If you are a shy person, you can____.
A. make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you first
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex
D. not fall in love with other students easily
66. The underlined word “ditch”means “____” in Chinese.
A. 波浪 B. 泥潭 C. 圈套 D. 迷惑
67. The main idea of the passage is to____.
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. tell students how to make friends
8
D. teach boys how to talk with girls
D
Friends are very important in everyone's life because friends are always there when we
need them. It's great to have many friends, and I can't imagine my life without my friends.
My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me.
Now she is in the same class as me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long
curly blonde hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful
as she is.
My name is Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing lots of things
together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my Maths and I
sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to do a report (报告) on Science once,
but I didn't understand (理解) what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class.
But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at me. I felt
very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn't laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than
anybody else and make me happy.
I'm a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don't understand me. Lisa is friendly and
everybody loves her. She is also smart and she can deal with (解决) everything. I am happy to
have a friend like her.
68. When Molly first met Lisa, Lisa was____ years old.
A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8
69. Lisa always helps Molly with her ____.
A. Maths B. English C. History D. Science
70. Why did Molly feel bad after reading her report?
A. Because Lisa did better than her.
B. Because she didn't read it aloud.
C. Because all her classmates laughed at her.
D. Because the teacher didn't understand her.
71. Which of the following words can't describe Lisa?
A. Shy. B. Friendly. C. Popular. D. Smart.
72. What can we learn from the passage?
9
A. Lisa is taller than Molly.
B. Molly is more beautiful than Lisa.

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. I got different
answers at different ages.
When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us. So I said,“My ears,
Mum. ”But she shook her head and said no. Several years passed, and she asked me again. I
believed that I got the right answer after thinking it over. So I told her, “Sight is very important
to everyone, so it must be our eyes. ”But she told me I was wrong. I tried many times after that,
but her answer was always the same. Till last year, my grandma died. Everybody was crying;
everybody was hurt. My mum looked at me and asked me with tears in her eyes,“Do you
know the answer now?”I was surprised when she asked me this question then. “My son, the
answer is your shoulder. Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. ”
Finally, I realized all she hoped for is that I can have enough love and friends so that I will
have a shoulder to cry on when I need it.
