Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In families, it is quite often brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?
Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

举一反三
I always carry at least $3 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the person who asks if I can “spare some 36 ”. Smiling and making eye contact, I always 37 very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to” 38 “It would be my pleasure”. And I give them the 39 .
Then I 40 it with my next $3 for the next person. I 41 spend this money myself. I honor the idea that it belongs to the 42 of the next person who asks for it. Three dollars is a small 43 , yet it means a lot to the person who might only expect 25 cents, 44 when delivered with respect to them.
I have also formed the habit of carrying 45 I think the needy may be able to use. I carry hats, socks, gloves, and an umbrella. Recently I 46 some care packages for the homeless. It 47 to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, combs, as well as food would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are not easy to 48 , so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who 49 them were delighted.
But I think it’s not just that I give them things that 50 . It’s that I see them for the beautiful ray of lights that they are. I know that they are 51 expressions of God and that this is how they are at the current time, not who they are. I am 52 to also give a hug and a smile with the money. And I always remember it is they who bless me with the 53 to be kind! What a joy! I felt 54 good and proud of what I had done. See, that’s the added 55 about completing acts of kindness —you feel fantastic.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite （胃口） and better sleep patterns. "People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear, and allow people to feel more energetic."
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don"t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person" s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

小题2:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?| A．Forgiveness keeps yourself from being hurt. | B．Forgiveness helps stay mentally healthy. | | C．Forgiving others does good to your health. | D．Forgiving yourself is the biggest challenge. |

小题4:Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.| A．people seldom want to apologize | B．we’d feel worse accepting others" apology | | C．we are not patient enough | D．people don’t mean it when they apologize |

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36 for stillness.
And when we are 37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 .
This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And 42 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get 43 done.
Take a moment to think about 44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45 checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always 46 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your 47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 49 be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 50 it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 .
Then be that vision.
It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it.

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open . second, apologize when you’re wrong – even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships . My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift , and worth the effort to treasure and nurture .

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend (超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
小题1:The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ________.| A．save space | B．persuade readers | C．make readers laugh | D．get readers’ attention |
小题2:According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to________.| A．encourage them to learn | B．teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem | | C．help them learn to deal with pain | D．teach them how to respect for problems |
小题3:From the passage, it can be inferred that _________.| A．everybody has problems | | B．we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life | | C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain | | D．people like to complain about their problems |
