Most people hope that their friends will always be there. They 36 friendship to last forever. 37, even the best friendship can end.As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n) 38 in personality or ways of life. The friendship slowly loses its 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.”Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends said, “Generally it's 46 that friends will accept each other 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.May new friendships bring you pleasure and happiness!36.

It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you've seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me “My hometown is Guizhou Province”, I know he or she should say “My hometown is in Guizhou Province”. Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport”, which should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “Room Rate”, not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.51. Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?A. Chinese students.B. Foreigners from Japan.C. Teachers in China.D. English-speaking foreigners.52. What's the attitude(态度)of the government towards the bad English on signs?A. It's native.B. It should be changed.C. It doesn't matter.D. It can be used on signs.53. When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ________.A. she thinks it should be correctedB. she thinks it is importantC. she thinks it is properD. she likes to use it54. Which of the following signs is RIGHT?A. Not EntryB. Room PriceC. To the AirportD. Care of the Green55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Chinglish on menus.B. Money spent on Chinglish.C. Usages of native English.D. Letters of “WC”.BFROM THE EDITORDEAR READERS,Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue (期刊) came out on March 3, 1923.

Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalists (职业记者) now.

Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual (一年一度的) competition to find our next group of reporters for Time for Kids.

When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood(情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform(表演)good music. After a period( 一段时期)if you still enjoy it, gradually( 逐渐地)it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable.

We can't get good grades if we don't have good health. We should make use of our free time. We should do something we like. Some people like singing, taking photos and drawing pictures.Other people prefer collecting stamps, reading or shopping. I have a few hobbies, but my favourite one is collecting stamps. ②我最喜欢它是因为我能从邮票中学到很多东西。

Nathaniel was disoriented (迷惑的) from the smoke, so Jim caught him with his right hand. “Don't worry, kuya (big brother) is here,” Jim said as he protected Nathaniel from the flames with his own body. They ran into the yard as the house was burned to the ground.

You can read everything from strange ideas to true facts and everything in between. But when you're spending time online and reading so many opinions, it's quite possible that you'll sometimes see someone write something that you strongly disagree with.In fact, you might feel so strongly that you feel like you should reply to this person at once. You might do some research, find some facts of your own and reply to what they have written. You finish writing out your reply, click “Post” and win the argument!Except that it's not really much of a victory, most people don't like it when other people disagree with their ideas, especially online strangers. It's unlikely that they will change their opinions just because you argued with them. In fact, it's possible that you made them feel more confident that they're correct.And the thing is, when you get into these kinds of fights online, it slowly influences you. You might not know it at first, but the argument that you take part in can actually have a bad effect on your mood. If you argue often, you start to enjoyarguing and then end up doing it even more. It's a dangerous cycle.I guess the best thing to do is to tell yourself that most arguments aren't worth it. There are much better and more interesting things to do, whether online or in real life. ( )67. How does the writer feel about social media?A. People rarely (很少) use it to argue.B. Many people use it to voice their opinions.C. You can't know other people's real ideas.D. It is a good way to connect with strangers.( )68. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 3?A. It's easy to win arguments online.B. Arguments can change people's minds.C. Disagreeing with someone won't change their minds.D. People who post their ideas on social media are usually incorrect.( )69. What is the writer's advice?A. Argue until you find the truth.B. Don't discuss problems with strangers.C. Try to communicate in real life instead of communicating online.D. Find something better to do instead of arguing.E【2022·池州一模】The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract (白内障) operation, but cannot get one because they have little or no healthcare where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don't have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.For example, there are thousands of nearsighted African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe (成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can't harvest (收获) as many beans.This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, according to the report. A lack of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still cultural barriers (隔阂) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one's eyes worse. In other places, when kids start wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls. These beliefs and attitudes must be changed before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.( )70. What do the examples of African drivers and Bolivian farmers show?A. People with cataracts will go blind.B. There is no eye care in African countries.C. Too much work can cause vision problems.D. People with poor vision face many difficulties.( )71. Why do people in southern Asia still have problems getting glasses?A. Because wearing glasses makes them look ugly.B. Because only rich people can afford to buy glasses.C. Because wearing glasses can make their eyes worse.D. Because wearing glasses goes against their cultural beliefs.( )72. What is the best title for the text?A. Can we stop blindnessB. What causes low-income countriesC. The poor eye care service problemD. Why do we need to protect our eyes阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
