27、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 (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 means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or 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 . 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 all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.

28、 I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells (魔法) — nine being that curious age at which you’re old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of mysterious fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique, and I devoted the next months to practice.
Initially, the magic wasn’t any good. At first it wasn’t even magic; it was just a trick-a bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet sample from the store and placed it under the mirror to eliminate the sound of the coin falling again and again.
I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practice — slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion (幻觉) in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle. I knew that I had got what I wanted.
One day I made the performance on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing by the backstop in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. They yelled, laughed, scrambled away. Everyone went crazy. This was great.
【1】What did the author enter the adult section of the library to do?
A.Find a book of magic. B.Kill his time.
C.Read The Lord of the Rings. D.Learn knowledge of literature.
【2】What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Deliver. B.Enlarge.
C.Remove. D.Track.
【3】What contributed to the author’s success?
A.His mother s help. B.The secret of quick moves.
C.His hard practice over and over. D.The inspiration from his father
【4】How would the author feel about the outcome of his performance on the playground?
A.It’s disappointing. B.It’s wonderful.
C.It’s humorous. D.It’s unexpected.
29、 When young people begin to live independently， home-hunting can be difficult． But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes．
Fondly called "tiny houses，" these houses have all living necessities in a small package， including kitchen， bedroom and bathroom． Generally under 50 square meters， most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more． What's lost in size is not lost in designas these homes are often quite modern in design．
Besides an attractive appearance， tiny houses can also have practical features． Making the best of urban space， the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw， the world's narrowest home， filled in an alley（小巷）． The home Ecocapsule uses solar power， wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere．
Although micro-homes are attractive， there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch． Moving into a tiny house， you should throw away unnecessary things． It is also mostly impossible to invite guests． And finally， a micro-home is likely a temporary（暂时的） living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．
Though the limitation will scare some， there is usually a benefit． A small size results in low prices and small bills， making tiny houses easier to save up for． And though you won't have many things around the house， it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean． Micro-homes are also eco-friendly， which can't be matched by other homes． They probably aren't for everyone or forever， but when it comes to your next （or first） home， they could be just what you need．
【1】What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2？ ______
A. People can't take a package into the tiny houses．
B. All of the houses can hold more than two people．
C. These houses are convenient though tiny in size．
D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size．
【2】The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly ______ ．
A. by example B. by comparisons
C. by order in space D. by causes and effects
【3】Micro-homes are especially suitable for ______ ．
A. a young person who has many things
B. a person who doesn't have much money
C. a family wanting to protect environment
D. a family hoping to settle down in a city
【4】What can be the best title for the text？ ______
A. East or west， home is the best． B. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!
C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter! D. Tiny or large， this is a choice．
