Making friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet
people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where
there are people. Y
ou won’t make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. Talking

with
those
who
like
the
same
things
as
you
do
is
much
easier.
Or
join
someone
in
some
activity.
Many
people
are
nervous
（紧张）
when
talking
to
new
people.
After
all
meeting
strangers mea
ns facing the unknown . And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about
the
unknown.
Most
of
our
fears
about
dealing
with
new
people
come
from
doubts
about
ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short. too this
or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as
you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.





Try to act self-confident(
自信
) even if you don′t feel that way. When
you enter a room
full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people
and smile.




If
you
see
someone
you’d
like
to
speak
to,
say
something.
Don’t
wait
for
the
other
person to start a conversation.




Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person
－
friendship
is
based
on
same
interests

and
“give
and
take”.
It
takes
time
and
effort
to
develop.

A. Friendship

that

One

Lee
was
driving
his
wife
home

work.
She
was
a
staff
nurse
in
a
hospital.
It was almost
midnight
and she was
quite tired out.
She soon
fell asleep. Mr
Lee
looked at her and smiled.
Mr. Lee was a cautious and experienced driver. He knew it was safer to drive slowly on a
dark
night.
After
some
time
he
noticed
a
car
following
him.
It
was
traveling
very
fast.
Suddenly it overtook his car.
The
driver
of
the
car
was
in
a
hurry.
He
did
not
see
the
approaching
lorry(
货车
).

his
passenger
were
injured.
They
were
badly
cut
by
glass
splinter
from
the
broken
windscreen.
Mr. Lee quickly stopped his car by the side of the road. His wife got out of the car to
help
the
injured
men.

helping
hand.

Pets
are
no
strangers
to
the
White
House.
Many
of
America’s
Presidents
have
been
animal lovers. In recent times, White House pets have been tame
（温顺的）

dogs and cats.
Long ago, however, presidential pets, like our nation itself, were wild!
In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson lived in the White House. Passersby often caught
sight of his pet bears. Explorers had discovered these fierce
（凶猛的）
bears, caught a pair of
small ones, and sent them to Jefferson. While the President was excited about his bears, his
enemies in Congress constantly laughed at his pets, calling the White House “The President’s
Bear Garden”.

By 1825, the bears were long gone from the White House scene. The building was home
to
President
John
Quincy
Adams
and
his
crocodile
（鳄鱼）
.
The
green
beast
actually
belonged
to
General
Lafayette,
a
French
hero
who
had
helped
the
United
States
win
the
Revolutionary War. When Lafayette asked Adams to keep the crocodile for him, the President
couldn’t refuse.

When President Martin Van Buren moved into the White House in 1837, he brought his
tigers with him. At least, Van Buren said the tigers were his. The Sultan of Oman had sent the
tigers when Van Buren was elected, so Congress argued
（争辩说）
that the cats belonged to the
American
people.
A
fight
over
the
tigers
continued
for
months.
In
the
end,
Congress
sent
someone to seize the tigers and put them in a zoo.
Twenty
years
later,
President
James
Buchanan
received
another
valuable
gift
when
he
was in his first year in the White House. This time the King of Siam sent several elephants!
Buchanan had no desire to share his building with the big creatures, so he sent them to the
zoo. Buchanan did, however, keep another gift
—
a pair of birds. They were a fitting symbol
of presidential power.
33
．
How did the Presidents mentioned get their unusual pets?
A
．
They got them in the forest.
B
．
They bought them at the market.
C
．
The pets were given to them by others.
D
．
Their family members offered them the pets.
34
．
What similar political effect did Jefferson’s bears and Van Buren’s tigers have?

A
．
The pets made them happy and gay.
B
．
It took them too much time to look after them.
C
．
It made people believe that they were animal lovers.
D
．
It brought about dissatisfaction with them in Congress.
35
．
When did President James Buchanan get elephants?
A
．
1825.
B
．
1826.
C
．
1845.
D
．
1857.
第二节．根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入 空白处的最佳选项。选项中
有两项为多于选项。

Ernest
Hemingway’s
first
book
of
stories
is
called
“In
Our
Time.”
It
includes
a
story
called “Big Two
-
Hearted River,” about the effect of war on a young man. It tells about the
young man taking a long fishing trip in Michigan.



The story is about two kinds of river. 36. _____ It is where the young man fishes. The
other is dark. It is a swamp, a dangerous place.

37. _____ He is
also
trying to
forget
the war. Yet
he never really speaks
about
it. The
reader learns about the young man, not because Hemingway tells what the young man thinks,
but because he shows the young man learning about himself.

“Big
Two
-
Hearted
River”
is
considered
one
of
the
best
modern
American
stories.
38._____ Then it is often published in collections of best writing.


Hemingway soon published another long story so that he was recognized as a serious
writer. 39. _____ It is about young Americans in Europe after World War One. The war had
destroyed their dreams. And it had given them nothing to replace those dreams. These people
were
later called members of “The Lost Generation.” The book was an immediate success. At
the age of 25 Ernest Hemingway was famous.



Many people, however, could not recognize Hemingway’s art because they did not like
what he wrote about. Hemingway’s sentence
s were short. He wrote about what he knew and
felt. 40. _____ His statements (
陈述
) were clear and easily understood.
