21、People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

22、Enjoy the challenge of a new term
The new term is finally here, which means, of course, it's time to return to school.
For many students across China, that also means having to leave home for the next several months and move into a school dormitory.
Being away from our family for a long time, however, often leads to homesickness, a feeling that most students have experienced at some point.
A study by the UK's National Union of Students found that up to 70 percent of UK students living away from home experience homesickness within their first few weeks of being away.
But homesickness isn't just a feeling of sadness that happens in our mind; it can also affect us physically.
“You feel homesickness in your stomach—it's an unease in which you feel uncomfortable, nervous, stressed because you're in a place or situation that's not familiar,” Joshua Klapow, a professor of public health at the University of Alabama, us, told HuffPost.
According to Klapow, the body reacts physically when it's placed in an unknown situation such as being separated from one's familiar surroundings for a long time.
“It's an evolutionary(进化的) thing that makes us protect ourselves from danger when something is unknown," he told the HuffPost.
“When we think about home, we know that the sense of unknown … is not happening there, so we want to return.”
So, how can we overcome these physical reactions?
Ruth Hardy of the Guardian offered advice for students who are feeling the effects of being away from the safety of home.
“Try and establish routines(常规) quickly. This can make your new environment feel more stable and will hopefully make you feel more settled,” she wrote.
Making friends with others who are in your situation is also a great way to feel less homesick, according to Hardy.
The most important thing to remember, however, is that homesickness is completely normal and is nothing to be ashamed of.
And once it's gone, you're free lo enjoy the adventures and challenges of a brand new school year.
【1】The study by the UK's National Union of Students is mentioned to.
A．show how homesickness causes harm to students
B．prove it's common for students to feel homesick
C．introduce some causes of homesickness
D．show how all young people are troubled by homesickness
【2】What can we learn about homesickness?
A．It's only a feeling in our mind.
B．It usually disappears after a few weeks.
C．It has a physical influence on our body.
D．It always happens once we visit an unfamiliar place.
【3】According to Klapow, why is homesickness helpful to humans?
A．It shows people the importance of their family.
B．It drives people to get used to changes.
C．It encourages people to express their feelings.
D．It keeps people away from possible dangers.
【4】How does Hardy suggest people deal with homesickness?
A．Take part in as many activities as possible.
B．Talk about your problems with your friends.
C．Get into a routine as early as possible.
D．Avoid seeing things related to your home life.

24、It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.
Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s, designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just £ 127,000.The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode (状态).
Fuelling (加燃料) the 19 feet long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up. A spokeswoman said, “You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land, and drive directly to your destination. You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”
The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You call simply divert (改道) and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”
There’s no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

A．there are some skillful pilots

25、I’d done it before, so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my _______ trip, I'd bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my _______ and, of course, a lot of great memories.
The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to _______ the homes of those in need. My group was to help a family to change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom.

A little distance behind the girl was a woman in a wheelchair. She was her _______ and the girl's name was Dakota, which we soon learned.

By our final day,__________, this was about to change.
When talking with her grandmother, I __________ something I hadn9t seen before—Dakota was hiding behind the wheelchair. After a while, __________, she stepped into view, and slowly, she began walking toward me and handed me a piece of folded __________. Once it was unfolded, I looked at the drawing she'd made. It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were __________hands side by side. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words, “Please don't leave! ” ，which instantly __________ my heart.
By early afternoon, we finished Dakota's __________, and I gladly used the rare free time to listen to her stories about the struggles she and her family went through daily. I began to realize how __________ my life was.
