As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n) _38_ in personality or way of life. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally_39_.
Tommy wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”
Peter explained. “We _40_ seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”
Sometimes friendships_41_ suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.
Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we _42_ made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”
Jack said, “ When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always_43_ with new jobs, so we didn’t keep _44_ touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn’t call him _45_ I went home.”

Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends say, “Generally it’s _46_ that friends will accept each oth er if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely _47_ lost.”
No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always _48 _ pain of loss. When nothing can be _49_ to keep the friendship, it is important to forget the pain. Then move on _50 _ new friendships.

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have b ecome much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
（ ）56. Ancient people first used umbrellas as ____.
A. a symbol of honor B. protection against the sun
C. a symbol of power D. protection against the rain
（ ）57. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ______.
A. Egypt . B. Babylon C. Rome D. China
（ ）58. The underlined word royal might mean _ in Chinese.
A.皇室的 B.富裕的 C.中产的 D.平民的
（ ）59. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life.
B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages.
C. The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient times.
D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented
（ ）60. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. the sales of the umbrella B. the differences among umbrellas
C. the invention of the umbrella D. the history and the use of the umbrella
C
How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scient ists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Aust ralia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
（ ）61. The writer begins with the four que stions in order to______.
A. make a survey B. interest readers C. tell a story D. solve math problems
（ ）62. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?
A. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.
B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
（ ）63. Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?
A. They have only a few words for numbers
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers
C. They can only count to five on their fingers
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers
（ ）64. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____
A. people all over the world know how to count
B. People of the tribe have words for number
C. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D, Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
（ ）65. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans
C. In some aboriginal culture,p eople don’t even know how to count
D. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.

It's important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.
Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth arc likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you’re not sick, always remember to cough or into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better rub both hands while washing them.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance. What’s more, it’s good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.
Stay connected. Having regular communication with friends is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.
