Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her sit by her window each afternoon, sewing(针线活) or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.” One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was seen clearly. Her window was clean! Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through(通过) my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own mistakes? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. 小题1:The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because _________.A.the woman’s window was dirty | B.the writer’s window was dirty | C.the woman lived nearby | D.the writer has short sight | 小题2:The writer was surprised that _________.A.the woman was sitting by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading | B.the woman’s window was clean as soon as he washed his own window | C.the woman did cleaning in the afternoon, so the writer could see the woman clearly | D.the woman’s window was still terrible after he washed his own window | 小题3: “It dawned on me” probably means “_________”.A.I began to understand it | B.it cheered me up | C.I knew the woman’s window grew light | D.it began to get dark | 小题4:It’s clear that _________.A.the writer didn’t meet the woman ago | B.the writer often washed the window | C.they both worked as cleaners | D.they lived in a small town | 小题5:From the passage, we can learn _________.A.one shouldn’t criticize others very often | B.one should often make his windows clean | C.one must judge himself before he judges others | D.one must look at others through his dirty windows |

Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy, and to others it’s very difficult. Making friends is a skill, and the first thing is to know how to get on with others.

Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others. Be humourous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile at others. Respect(尊敬) the others. Everyone has his own idea. Learn how to listen to others’ ideas without trying to make them accept(接受) yours. Be kind. If you are kind to others, they will usually be kind to you. There are hundreds of little things you can do to show your kindness. Open the door for someone. Wave to a friend and so on. Don’t complain(抱怨). Learn to accept what you can’t change, and work hard to change what you can. No one is willing to hear your complaints all the time. Never give up.
