26、   Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.

It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.

In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.

However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?

A.They have all of the same interests as you do.

B.You seldom meet them in your life.

C.They are sure to become your good friends.

D.Not all of them can become your friends.

【2】According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ________.

A.go to the same school as your friend

B.get into trouble

C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend

D.see your friend often

【3】We know from the passage that ________.

A.it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not

B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends

C.people without friends are always unhappy

D.it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one

【4】What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Very deep. B.Not deep at all.

C.As precious as skin. D.Hidden under the skin.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?

A.Interested. B.Angry.

C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.

27、   Maybe you have just been to the apple garden or maybe you couldn’t help yourself and brought the apples home from the grocery store. 【1】 Follow these easy tips and you’ll have good apples for two or three weeks at least.

Figure out where you’re going to put the apples first . When fully ripe(成熟的), apples become soft. 【2】They give off a chemical called ethylene gas that continues to soften the skin day after day. Keeping apples cold helps to slow the discharge of this gas, so place them in the drawer of the refrigerator to keep them cool.

【3】 They can be stored in a basket in a cool area of your home like a basement. A wire multi-type container is a great option because it allows air to circulate(流通) around the apples while they are being stored. If space is a problem, a wire hanging basket will offer the same benefit without taking up floor space. 【4】 That way, the air will not circulate easily, which can lead the apples to go bad.

To store apples for a long time, you had better wrap each apple lightly in a newspaper and place it in a wire container in a cool area of your home. Spin the apples regularly and remove those that are becoming soft. When considering long-term storage, look for Fuji, Granny Smith and Macintosh apple varieties. 【5】 Apples that are softer will not store as long.

A.Are they the right apples you like to have?

B.Don’t simply place them in a hardboard box.

C.They continue to ripen even after they are picked.

D.Keep them separate from other fruits and vegetables.

E.These types of apples are generally much firmer and have thicker skins.

F.But what if you have too many apples to easily fit in your refrigerator?

G.Either way, you want to keep the apples fresh and delicious as long as possible.

28、   Choose the wrong pair, and you can be in for a world of hurt when you're done your day. But choose the right pair, and aching feet are one less thing you have to deal with when you get home

29、

When I awoke, it was morning. I tried to stand up, but I could not move.

At first, I thought that yesterday’s dangers had made my body too weak and too tired to move. Then, suddenly, I heard some very strange noises. As I listened, I heard the sounds of people around me, but I could see no one. “So I am not alone here! Thank God!” I thought. I tried to turn my head, but I could not move it in any direction. I turned my eyes down to look at my body and saw that I had been tied down to the ground with hundreds of small ropes.

Just at that moment, I felt something moving up my leg. It was small and light and I thought that perhaps it was a small animal like a mouse or something. I felt the thing touch my chin and looked down to see what sort of animal was climbing on me.

I had never been as shocked in my life as I was at that moment. Standing on my chest was a tiny person! The little man stood on my chest, pulled out a tiny sword, and pointed it at my head. As I stared at him in surprise, the little man shouted something in a strange language. “Hekinah degu!” he said. I had no idea what this meant, but I guessed that it was not a friendly greeting.

I did not know what to do, but I wanted to get free from the ropes. I moved my body back and forth, trying to break the ropes. When I freed my left arm, the little people began to shout loudly. Quickly, I used my arm to pull off the ropes that held my head to the ground.

A moment later, hundreds of small arrows flew through the air and hit my hands and face. They felt like tiny needles in my skin. I shouted in pain and raised my hands to cover my face. Many small men jumped onto my body and began to attack me with their swords. I guessed they were angry. I was trying to escape from them, so I decided the best thing to do was put my hands down and lie quietly. (Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels)

B.Gulliver managed to defeat the tiny men again.

C.They failed to communicate well with each other.

【4】What can be learned from the underlined sentence in Para 6?
