1、语篇翻译 阅读下面的短文，将画线的句子译成英文或中文。

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship, because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.

Try to understand your friend

1. It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problem he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious that 2.如果人们有问题，他们可能不会把问题告诉家人或亲属，they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up. 3. Listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.

Try to teach good things

If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. 4. 一个好朋友应该永远不希望他的朋友依赖他人。

Let your friend be himself

5. The most important point is that your friend has his own life and you should not make trouble in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.

Hope this will help you solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.

24、   In public places, people often use body language to express their meanings. Waving and bowing are examples of body language. Different kinds of body languages show different cultures in different countries. In China waving means greeting, but in Japan bowing is used. Sometimes this kind of body language is polite in one country, but it is not polite in another. We should pay attention to using it. In China, nodding your head shows you agree with someone, but in India, shaking your head from side to side shows agreement. In China, people hold hands as a sign of friendship, but people seldom hold hands in North America. It is worth(值得) noting that different meanings of body language can also cause problems in understanding. Some people do not understand how to use thumb(拇指) correctly. Most people often show one thumb to praise someone or something. You can't raise your thumb when someone is in danger. In a basketball match, if the judge shows two thumbs, it means two players break the rules.

【1】Where do people often use body language?

A.In a basketball match. B.At the square.

【2】Different kinds of body language show ________ in different countries.

25、How to Be a Better Student

Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

【1】The writer gives you ______ methods to help you in the passage.

A. Four. B. Five. C. Six.   D. Seven.

【2】What should you do if you want to plan your time?

A. Make a schedule of your time.

B. Find a good study area.

C.  Take advantage of class time.

D. Review the important points.

【3】How can we remember what the teacher says?

A. By taking notes in class.

B. By concentrating on the subject.

C. By listening to everything.

D. By discussing with your classmates.

【4】What is the purpose of a test according to the writer?

A. To help you solve some problems.

B. To make us become better students.

C. To discover if you are interested in a subject.

26、A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now.  It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.

【1】According to Dr. Frank,   school buses are safer for the students.

A. yellow B. black   C. white D. red

【2】According to the passage, in which country do the school buses have trackers?

A. France B. Britain   C. German D. Japan

【3】Children in Japan may easily   by taking the school bus.

A. save time B. be tracked

C. play games     D. love their school

【4】Chinese students will save a lot of time to   to school.

A. walk   B. ride a bike

C. take a school bus  D. run

【5】This passage is mainly about   .

A. school buses  B. school life

C. popular colors    D. children

27、Basketball, running and swimming are popular events at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let’s see if you have any knowledge about the following events.

【1】Which of the following events left the Olympic in 1920?

28、根据括号内所给汉语意思，写出空白处各单词的正确形式，每空一词。

Knowing more about the culture of English-speaking countries is a good way to learn English. Thus, English learners should not only pay   【1】 (关注) to the language itself, but also focus on the culture behind it. To start with, we ourselves can study western culture by   【2】  (庆祝) western festivals. For example, Halloween is a really fun one. Learners can   【3】(联系)  doing  traditional activities with learning new English words and   【4】 (表达方式), such as lanterns of pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, haunted houses, and “trick or  【5】(款待)”. Beside, when we visit an English-speaking country, we must behave   【6】(礼貌地). For example, when you communicate with women or ladies, do not talk about the age of them. Because it’s a  【7】 (秘密) from unknown strangers even close friend. So  【8】(警告) yourself not to ask questions like “How old are you?” and “Do you need my help, old gentleman?” Also, some westerners like Englishmen do care about manners(礼仪). Instead of asking  【9】(直接的) questions, please memorize some sentence patterns such as “Could you please…?”, “I’m sorry to trouble you.” and so on. If you express yourself like that, they will consider you as a good   【10】(讲话的人), i.e. a gentleman or a lady.
