1、Making friends is a skill. Before you make friends, you have to decide whom you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do. 交朋友最快的方式是微笑.
When you smile, people think you are friendly to them and easy to talk to. It may not be easy to smile at first, but remember most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.To talk with others is a good way to make friends. One easy way to start a talk with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends some questions about themselves. Who are their favorite singers? Where do they live? 他们放学后做些什么?
There are all good questions to start a talk. Make sure you have something to add to the talk,too.
When someone asks you a question, you’d better have an answer for themRemember that nothing will stop a talk more quickly than a shrug for an answer.

25、 On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China's first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency(中国载人航天), Tiangong I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere(大气层)and some of its debris(碎片)fell into the South Pacific Ocean.
There are many spacecraft(宇宙飞船)that are still in orbit(轨道)above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like Tiangong I.
There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.
Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate(计算)the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. They can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.
Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.
During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

A.fell into the South Pacific Ocean B.fell in western Australia

26、 " Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese (鹅) ?" Cruz, 11 , and Anthony, 12,couldn't agree. There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends took a risk onto the frozen(冻结的) lake near their homes.
"First,, we threw a stone onto the ice to test it. We thought it would hold our weight. Then we stepped on it," Cruz said. Anthony went first. He took a few steps, then... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice!
Cruz rushed to help his friend. The lake "ate" him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the freezing water and onto some ice. He then tried to work his way toward Anthony. But the ice didn't hold, and he fell in again. This time, he couldn't get out.
The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their arms and legs. Cruz had a sense that he was going to die.
Anthony's older sister had seen all this and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby heard her. He quickly pulled over. He caught a nearby float(浮板) , kicked off his shoes. and ran into the water, clearing his way through the ice with his free hand. "It was kind of a ' Hulk smash’” Lavin later joked.
Lavin made his way to pull the boys back to land. They were taken to hospital immediately. The doctor said their five-minute stay in the water made their body temperature drop nearly ten degrees. Luckily, the boys got well soon. They admire their fearless neighbor just as Hulk, one of Marvel Superheroes.

27、 “Budda(佛)-like youngsters” has become the buzzwords online overnight. What is “Budda-like”?Actually,it has nothing to do with Buddhism. It's only an attitude towards life. It means one should neither be pleased by outside gains nor be saddened by personal losses. Besides, it guides a lifestyle that “it's fine to have something or not.”
The youngsters are in their 20s. Although they haven’t developed themselves into the “God” , they've learned how to live a comfortable life. The green post-90s have mixed feelings to face the unknown future. They think that they are“Budda-like youngsters” and try to let everything go. They don’t give up; they make some efforts; they take what they are given; they don’t make a change.
We are living at a fast-developing time. If we have a strong sense of competitions, we will be overtaken in grades, education backgrounds, scores, jobs and will be overtaken in our kids grades, education backgrounds, and jobs... “Budda-like” youngsters keep a casual and calm attitude towards life and get rid of the so-called “fear”. It's not that they refuse to make progress but that the pain from efforts overwhelms (压倒) the joy from gain. So, they stop considering struggle (奋 斗) as the most important part or even the only aim in life as their parents did. Gradually, “Budda-like” becomes the weapon (武器)for the youngsters to fight against the society that doesn’t belong to them.
In fact, every generation has their own culture. It's hard to tell whether it is good or bad. People born at special time create their own culture. We don’t have to worry about it.

A.They want to find or win anything they want.
B.They continue regarding struggle as one aim in life.
C.They don’t mind whether they have something or not.
D.They have a strong sense of competitions in many ways.
【3】Why do some post-90s become the Budda-like youngsters?
A.Because they want to get the joy form the gain
B.Because they really refuse to make any progress.
C.Because it's their way to fight against the so-calle fear.
D.Because they want to have the same life as their parents’.
28、 At an average height of around 5 meters, the giraffe is the tallest land animal in the world. Because of 【1】(it) long legs, long neck, and distinctive spotted pattern, many people first believed the giraffe was a cross(杂交)【2】a leopard and a camel. Giraffes live primarily in savanna areas in Africa. Their extreme height allows them to eat 【3】(leaf) and shoots located much higher than other animals can reach. However, it can be a disadvantages well—it is difficult and dangerous for a giraffe 【4】(drink) at a water hole. Giraffes only need to drink once every several days. They get most of their water 【5】the luscious plants they eat.
The male giraffe is both taller and 【6】(heavy) than the female(雌性的). Female giraffes can become pregnant at 5 years old. They carry 【7】baby for 15 months and give birth while 【8】(stand) up. So the baby giraffes with about a height of 2 meters tall 【9】 a weight of 70 kilograms fall more than 5 feet to the ground at birth.
Giraffes can live up to 25 years in the wild. Giraffes face several threats, including loss of habitat due to logging for firewood. What's worse, they 【10】(kill) for their meat, hides, and tails.
