24、A  reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best

friend wasn’t around .Here’s our advice to her----and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around----maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom ----think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them,smile,and be friendly .Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏)to them. Invite someone to play with you or say” Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break,walk over to kids you want to play with ,act friendly, and say “Hi,can I play,too?”or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly,share,say nice things, offer to help----and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left: You can introduce her to your new friends!

26、请阅读下面短文，从每小段所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I used to work in a lab for almost 10 years. It was a well-paid job, and a “not exactly exciting but safe job”. Then everything changed until my best friend introduced me to a man who wanted to open up a computer training school. What did he want me to do? Teach! Me? Teach? Is he mad? They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered (口吃) . For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should. “Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds, while it would take me 10 seconds. And someone asked me if I wanted to stand in front of strangers and speak about computer technology. Then the most amazing thing happened. I said yes!

To this day I’m still not sure why I said yes. Maybe I didn’t want to live a “safe” life where I did the same thing every day, year after year. I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts (概念) to listeners than a lot of other people. I’m good at explaining things when I write about it. So I took the class syllabus (教学大纲) and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand. In my first class I got the familiar funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking intelligent questions that showed they understood. At the end of the class when people were leaving, they shook my hand and thanked me. You won’t get that from a “not exactly exciting but safe job”!

【1】The writer thought his job in the lab was ________.

A．well-paid and safe

B．safe and exciting

C．well-paid but challenging

【2】The writer uses the example of “Hello, how are you doing?” to show ________.

A．what his speech problem was

B．his speech problem was gone

C．his speech problem got better

【3】As for the class syllabus, the writer ________.

A．couldn’t fully understand it first

B．wrote it again in his own way

C．explained it to his friend first

【4】The writer knew the students understood his class from their ________.

A．smiles

B．questions

C．funny looks

【5】The best title of the passage may be ________.

A．My best friend

B．My fantastic class

C．My challenging choice

In o【2】 to realize their wish, they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching（调查） the industry.

The store broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to a【5】 customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to d【6】 their stories. Today Mystery Lovers make sales of about 420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.

“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an e【7】 life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.
