21、Girls can easily sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don't be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?
A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

22、Most people associate space with silence. But the story of how we came to understand the universe is just as much a story of listening as it is by looking. And yet despite this, hardly any of us has ever heard space. How many of you could describe the sound of a single planet or star?
And you may wonder: How do we know what these sounds are? How can we tell the difference between the sound of the sun and the sound of a pulsar (脉冲星)? Well, the answer is the science of radio astronomy. Radio astronomers study radio waves from space using sensitive antennas (天线) and receivers, which give them precise information about what an astronomical object is and where it is in our night sky. And just like the signals that we send and receive here on earth, we can convert these transmissions into sound using simple analog techniques (模拟技术). And therefore, it’s through listening that we’ve come to uncover some of the universe’s most important secrets—its scale, what it’s made of and even how old it is.
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell worked with Thomas Watson on the invention of the telephone. A key part of their technical set-up was a half-mile long length of wire, which was thrown across the rooftops of several houses in Boston. The line carried the telephone signals that would later make Bell a household name. But like any long length of charged wire, it also inadvertently became an antenna. Thomas Watson spent hours listening to the strange crackles and hisses and whistles that his accidental antenna detected...
As he correctly guessed, some of these sounds were caused by activity on the surface of the sun. So while inventing the technology that would usher in the telecommunications revolution, Watson had discovered that the star at the center of our solar system emitted (发射) powerful radio waves.
【1】How do the radio astronomers discover the universe’s secrets?
A．By watching.
B．By calculating.
C．By listening.
D．By measuring.
【2】What does the underlined word “inadvertently” in the third paragraph mean?
A．By chance.
B．On purpose.
C．In surprise.
D．On average.
【3】What did Thomas Watson discover from the solar system’s star?
A．Antennas and receivers.
B．Telephone signals.
C．Activities of the sun.
D．Radio waves.
【4】From what kind of magazine can we read this text?
A．Society.
B．Nature.
C．Culture.
D．Entertainment.
23、On the court, the catwalk, or at the club or corner store, sneakers (or trainers, or sport shoes, or whatever you might call them) seem to include every form, function and fantasy-across sport, fashion, art, movies and music.【1】 “What appealed to me was to tell the story of sneakers in a design context as they are common everyday designed objects that have taken on such great meaning in many people’s lives,” says Ligaya Salazar, the curator of Sneakers Unboxed.
【2】 And, in the process, the community has developed its own identity separate from the fashion community at large. Clearly, there’s something here that draws people in, so what makes these shoes so popular? “I think it’s true that a lot of people just buy expensive shoes because they look cool,” professor Joshua Hoang from Eleanor Roosevelt College said. “However, I also think that there are a lot of people who feel a deeper connection with their shoes.” For many “sneakerheads”, shoes aren’t just about how they look or feel. 【3】
Today, most shoes become meaningful through their association with a well-known star. Many basketball players like Kobe Bryant and James Harden have received their own shoe line. 【4】
However, clear boundaries are hard to draw, as there are simply too many different kinds of fans now that the culture has become mainstream.【5】 It is very likely to create an unhealthy atmosphere among their biggest fan club: The youth. And special editions have driven up prices of some common models as well, drawing complaints from ordinary customers. They said that it’s hard to get a pair of normal shoes for an affordable price.
A．This business strategy has become a main part.
B．Every shoe has a story, something that people remember it by.
C．No one knows why it is so sudden that the young are fond of sneakers.
D．However, the prices of sneakers have become a standard to compare with other teens.
E．Over several decades, sneakers have sealed their social standing as a pop-culture currency.
F．The hobby of collecting expensive sneakers has grown from being a subculture to mainstream.
G．This has also led to unimaginable high prices to some of the rare or super-limited shoes.
24、 Shelly hugged her husband."Be careful, Billy."
"Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a three — day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '
"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter."
"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."
They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and you know it.”
Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."
Their laughter broke the tension. "I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"
Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "Thanks，Billy.” It had been their custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly - both made her smile. She wrote a reply and left it on the kitchen table for him. Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.
She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty-five foot “Shelly Girl” and his crew waited. He gave a final wave and climbed aboard.
Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view. "I love you, Billy.” she whispered. "Be safe." ①
That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of the USA. Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a raging winter storm. ②
Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table. The phone rang."Hello."
“Shelly?"
"Hi, Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew. “Have you heard the weather?"
"Hang on a second. I just turned the radio on." Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area. "Oh crap!"
"That's what [ said too.”
"They'll be OK, Gail. They're experienced fishermen." Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself that her man would be safe. ③
Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.
The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy Atlantic.
The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live. “Shelly!
He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface. ④
The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read. "Shelly, you are my life,, my love and soon-to-be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home."
Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket. Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on, “________."
