21、 Studies show if you have good friends throughout your life, you will live longer. There is a lot of truth behind the common saying. You must first be one if you want some good friends. 【1】
Be real. People are bored with those who are always trying to be someone they are not. People are most comfortable around others who are comfortable in their own skin. 【2】 Even though you aren’t perfect, the way you handle your strengths and faults with humility (谦逊) and confidence will give other people permission (许可) to be real and relaxed with you, as well.
Be honest. Lies always have a way of coming to light. Try to be honest with everyone around you. Be reliable. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who lies. Also, friends will say the truth to each other, even when it’s hard.
Be a good listener. 【3】 Most times, people need more than good advice. They need someone to listen to them as they talk through their feelings. Ask them what’s going on in their life and how they feel.
【4】 Time is one of the greatest gifts we have. When we share extra time with friends, we are giving that gift back to them. No friendship can develop overnight. It takes time. A real friend will take that time.
【5】 When you see your friends getting into a dangerous situation involved with drugs or alcohol, or maybe even a harmful relationship, step in timely and protect your friends from the dangers you see that come their way.

23、 Elon Musk and his electric car company Tesla have a large following in China－the world’s largest vehicle market－much to the envy of rivals.
However, a number of potential customers are deciding against placing orders and some owners are refusing to drive their Teslas to protest the way a customer who complained about an alleged brake failure was treated at the Shanghai auto show.
On April 19, the opening day of the show, which is held every two years, a woman got on top of a Tesla Model 3 car and shouted that the brakes did not work. She was quickly dragged away by security guards, who attempted to hide her from visitors with open umbrellas. Footage of the incident taken by onlookers generated more than 150 million views on Sina Weibo within hours.
The protester, who was detained by police for disturbing public order, owns a Tesla Model 3 in Henan province, and her father was involved in a traffic accident in February while driving the car. The woman claimed that the crash was caused by a technical problem with the car, but Tesla insisted the accident was due to excessive speed.
Soon after the protest, Grace Tao, a Tesla vice-president, told reporters: “There is no possibility Tesla will compromise ... I think she (the protester) is quite professional ... She has contributed to most of the negative news about Tesla recently.” Faced with mounting pressure, the company softened its stance, issuing a series of late-night statements. On April 20, it put out an apology and said it was carrying out a “self-inspection”. Next day, it said it was “working with regulators for investigation”.
On Thursday, Tesla disclosed data about the vehicle that crashed, generated before the accident. The data have not been independently verified. Events took another turn three days later, when the woman protester, surnamed Zhang, was released from detention.
In a news analysis, Reuters said Tesla defies industry convention, as it is based on a corporate culture that rarely admits mistakes. The company has long been accused by customers of responding in an irresponsible manner to complaints about incidents such as battery fires, unexpected acceleration and failure to provide software updates.
Only two months ago, Tesla promised to “strictly abide by Chinese laws and regulations and always respect consumer rights “after the State Administration for Market Regulation urged it to heed consumer complaints”.
【1】The woman got on top of a Tesla Model 3 car on April 19 to______.
A．protest the way a customer complaining about the brake failure
B．go against placing orders and refuse to drive her Tesla later
C．claim that her father was involved in a traffic accident with his Tesla
D．inform the public that the crash was caused by a technical problem
【2】Security guards attempted to hide her from visitors with open umbrellas, because______.
A．she disturbed the public order
B．she shouted to make herself heard
C．they worried about the negative impact on Tesla
D．they insisted the accident was due to excessive speed
【3】Why did Grace Tao mention that the protester was quite professional?
A．Because he suspected that someone may plot it intentionally.
B．Because he wanted to say he was unsatisfied with the behavior.
C．Because he questioned about the protester’s profession about the car.
D．Because he felt annoyed with the negative news caused by the action.
【4】What’s the main point Reuters tried to make in the second-to-last paragraph?
A．Tesla observed Chinese laws and regulations.
B．Tesla never admitted mistakes at all events.
C．Tesla unreasonably defied industry convention.
D．Tesla was negatively faced with many problems.
24、Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth’s population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion people yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. 【1】
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. 【2】
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. 【3】 These have been well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods are available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal.
【4】 They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. 【5】 They would need additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
A．Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B．That is where vertical farms are often needed for year-round crops.
C．So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem.
D．For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms.
E．Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities.
F．Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances.
G．They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up.
