“1 want to make friends．but I don’t know how．In my last school I didn’t have any friend．The children at this school seems to be OK，but I just know I’ll do something wrong．Help．’’An eleven-year-old boy Richard said．
We think everyone knows how to make friends．But a lot of people don't and I have even found that some bullies（持强凌弱者）don’t know what to do either．Then they are called ：'bullies’’and don’t know how to change．
Perhaps the best way to think about making friends is to decide what makes a friend．I asked a group of 13-year-old boys and girls to write down what they liked about their friends．They said that good friends：
☆show an interest in what people do
☆are good at giving compliments（称赞）
☆go around with a pleasant expression on their faces
☆are kind
☆ask，not demand，to join in
☆help others with work or carry things
☆invite people to do something
☆are good at thinking of something interesting to do
☆are willing to share
☆are good at games or activities
46．By saying “But a lot of people don’t…”，the writer means a lot of people
A．don’t kn ow how to make friends B．want to make friends
C．don’t have many friends D．are called “bullies’’
47．The students think that in making friends one should
A．ask others for help B．move around his house
C．show all interest in what people do D．study harder than others
48．The writer gives the example of Richard to show that the boy
A．will do something wrong B．needs help in making friends
C．is good at games and activities D．is a bully boy
49．The best title of the passage is
A．Helping friends B．Talking about friends
C．A good friend D．Making friends
B
Our eating habits are very important for good health and strong body．There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice．Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal．If we eat them before a meal,they may take away our appetite（食欲）．It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day．When we feel hungry, it is said that our body needs food．
When we feel angry or excited，we may not want to eat．A long time ago in England，some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry food．If the man could swallow（吞咽）the bread it was a sign（迹象）that he wasn’t telling the truth．He was telling lies．Although this seems very strange and foolish，it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth．
A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry．Because he is worrying，he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
50．Good eating habits are important because we want to be
A．happy B．healthy C．excited D．true
51．It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream
A．when we want to B．when we are hungry
C．after the meal D．before the meal
52．We had better have our meals
A．at regular time B．at any time each day
C．when we like to D．when we are excited 53．According to some judges in old England，if a man was telling a lie，he could A．hardly eat dry bread B．not eat dry bread easily
C．swallow the dry bread D．eat a lot of dry bread
C
When a new Harry Potter book hits the shelves, kids aren’t the only people who are happy．Doctors are happy, too．
Doctors in England recently reported that when the last two Harry Potter books came out，the number of kids in the hospital emergency room（急诊室）fell．
Dr．Stephen Gwilym studied the number of kids aged from 5 to 15 who were in the hospital emergency room after the latest Harty Potter books came out．They focused on two weekends：after Order of the Phoenix came out in 2003 and after Half-Blood Prince arrived in stores in the end of 2004．
During the non-Harry Potter weekends，an average（平均）of 67．4 children visited the emergency room．On Harry Potter weekends，that number was 36．5．
Kids were so interested in the books that they would not go outside to play those weekends．Once Dr Stephen Gwilym saw a child sitting peacefully for hours while reading Harry Potter．
54．Why were the doctors happy when the Harry Potter books came out?

Our town is in the eastern part of our country．Once a year, we choose a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is．All the girls are eager to get this position in order to become popular．
It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to choose from．The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get the position．Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary look．Besides，they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth．Most importantly, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast．Eggs were important to people of the east because our economy（经济）depended mainly on the production of eggs．
“Either girl will win，”my father said．“But someone will cry in the end．’’
“Either will be fine．”I s aid.“They are both great girls．”
The final round（轮次）was held at the east edge of our town．Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early to arrive．However, she was the first person there．“You know what they say about the early bird,” she said with a smile．
However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition．“It’s the taxi driver’s fault，”she said，“I told him to head（go）east, but he was in one ear and thought 1 said Bread Cheese．”You know, Bread Cheese was the name of our neighboring town．
I thought May would certainly lose because she was late，but to my surprise，she turned out to be this year’s winner．The judges liked her answer to their last question．“If you could have anything in the world，what would it be?” Sara had replied，“World peace．”M ay, on the other hand, said，“Better market to have our eggs sell well．’’
58．Why Was it difficult to make a choice this year?

B．People had to choose from eight girls．
C．All the girls wanted to get the position．
D．The judges co uldn’t agree with each other．

B．she was sure that she would succeed
C．she lived nearby, so she should get there early
D．she wanted to show off her good language knowledge
60．Why was May chosen in the end?
A．Because her answer was cleverer and exact．

D．Because her answer was more practical（实用的，实际的）than the other girl.
