The Greatest GiftOne day, I was telling my mother about a new girl in school. Suddenly she asked, "Who are your two best friends, Helen?""Jill and Jaime.""Well, what about Karen and Cindy?""I don't know who their best friends are.""No," she said. "I mean, why aren't they your best friends?" She seemed upset and hurt. "But they're my sisters.""Yes, but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you."At the time, the idea of my sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We used to fight over toys, food, attention and what to watch on television. But my mother never let the three of us forget it: sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she had never had. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment（实现）of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each a gift—our sisters—and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were, constantly take us to places together so we grew closer, and would even punish us equally, giving us yet another bonding（亲密关系）experience.It was somewhere in between Mom's lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories that we realized that Mom was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I share with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, holding hands when crossing the finishing line. When Karen got married, I was her maid of honor. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn't have t. She already knows.1.【题干】One day, one of Hele's sisters asked her to be her best friend.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】B【解析】由文章开头妈妈和Helen的对话可知，妈妈告诉Helen，她的两个姐姐应成为她最好的朋友，而并不是Helen的一个姐姐让Helen成为她最好的朋友。

Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let’s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly （任意地）select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What you’ll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’ll end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don’t listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手）by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don’t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.Music is believed to have a comforting effect.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.One can benefit from all kinds of music.A.TrueB. FalseC.
