根据短文内容回答下面三个问题。

 （1）.My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.（2）我比大多数的孩子更安静、更认真。That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet, too, so we enjoy study together.（3）.I am shy so it's not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don't need a lot of them as long as they are good.

   It's not necessary to be the same.（4）.我最好的朋友拉里与我不相同。He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins.（5）.However, Larry helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.

One day as I was sitting in a coffee shop, I noticed a girl working on her laptop. Two people (A)passed byand accidentally knocked over her drink. To avoid the embarrassment (尴尬), the girl pretended (假装) that (B) ___ had happened and continued working on her computer.

This reminded me that both in China and Britain, when something strange happens around you or when you are in an embarrassing situation, (C) people tend (倾向于) to use this common way not to catch other people’s attention.

A lot of the time, Britons（英国人）use self-depreciating humor (自嘲式的幽默). This is a well-known British characteristic (特色). For example, imagine walking (D) ___ your friends and you fall over. Your friend may just say (E)“旅途愉快!”Or you may just laugh about how clumsy (笨拙的) you are. For many Britons, making fun of yourself is a way of showing your strength of character.

Also, British are considerate when it comes to embarrassing others. For example, students (F)usuallyhave a birthday party every year. So during the school day, a student will give out invitations to the class. If one person doesn’t get an invitation, but the rest of the class do, he or she will feel embarrassed. To avoid it, it’s common for students to even invite people who aren’t (G)theirfriends.

My 16-year-old son, Dylan, told everyone that one of the most amazing experiences of his life was the trip to South Africa last summer. Most people would think that he was on a vacation there. But Dylan spent almost the whole ten days of his trip building houses for people there. It was hard and dirty work. I never thought that he would enjoy it, but he loved every minute of it.

Encouraging (鼓励) teenagers to do volunteer work is one of the most important things you can do for them as a parent. And the amazing thing is, once they get a taste of it, teenagers will love to volunteer. And students who do volunteer work do better in school than those who don’t volunteer. In fact, volunteering provides many things for teenagers, including a wonderful experience and a good chance (机会) to meet new people. 

对于青少年而言，找一份志愿者工作并不难。They can find them in hospitals, libraries, children’s museums and so on.

Life today is easier that it was hundreds of years ago,but it has brought some new problems,One of the biggest problems is pollution(污染).(A)We can see it ,drink it and even hear it.

Man has polluted the earth.(B)The more people,the more pollution.Many years ago,the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people.When the land was used up or the river was not clean in a place,man went to another place.Now man is slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious,it’s bad for living things in the world.

Many countries don’t let people burn(C)“有害物质”for air in houses and factories in the city.Pollution by SO₂ is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution.It’s best to ride bikes.When you are riding,there is no pollution.But even in developed countries,most people don’t go to work by bike.It’s not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work.It’s because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger.So more people put away their bikes and go to work by car,then things are getting worse and worse.We should have special roads only for bikes and make it so difficult and expensive for drivers(D)        (take)their cars into the city that they will go back to using their bikes.

It is very common for students’ marks to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations outside school such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder.

When your marks start to fall, you should try talking to a friendly teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects you feel difficult. Stop（62）把自己同其他的学生比较. It doesn’t matter if other students get higher marks than you. What is important is that you do your best. Before each exam, you should go through your notes from class. You should remember the most important things you have written in a shorter form.

Look through your notes again before the exam. You will be surprised when you find you remember so much. It may take hard work and you may not improve your marks straight. But let your confidence rise by every mark. Soon they should begin to climb again. Remember:（63）Nothing is possible if he or she doesn’t have confidence.Besides（64）this, right ways are also needed by you. Keep on working hard, sooner or later, you will be successful.
