Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives， and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted， we often don‘t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people， we are usually friends with only a very few - for example， the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover， a great many relationships come under the blanket term “friendship”。 In all cases， two people like each other and enjoy being together， but beyond that， the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially， much depends on how people meet， and on favourable first impressions. As we get to know people， we take into account things like age， race， physical attractiveness economic and social status， and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance， it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level， we are sensitive to actual behaviour， facial expression， and tone of voice. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness， and it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive stare， and nervousness may be misread as hostility. People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when， in fact， they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion， but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs， to have attitudes and interests in common - they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”。 It generally takes time to reach this point; sometimes people “click” immediately. The more intimately involved people become， the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favours and hate to let them down. Equally， friends have to learn to make allowances for each other， to put up with irritating habits， and to tolerate differences of opinion. Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink！
In contrast with marriage， there are no friendship ceremonies， no rituals to strengthen the association between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond， which can overcome differences in background， and break down barriers of age， class or race.
1 The average student has about six friends
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
2 Two people can be considered friends so long as they care for each other and like being together.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
3 Favourable first impressions count for a lot in making friends.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
4 Shy people tend to misinterpret other people’s facial expressions.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
5 In all cases， close friends have similar beliefs and interests.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
6 The degree of intimacy between friends is largely determined by their social status.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
7 There are apparently no bonds between friends as there are between husband and wife.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
答案：1. A 2. A 3. A 4. C 5. B 6. B 7. B

Ceasing to Wear Ties
1 It‘s useless.It’s dirty.It spreads disease.That‘s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties.
2 That leads to another question.Why does anyone wear a tie？Ties serve no purpose.They do not cover any part of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get covered in food stains.Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone know what you just ate.
3 Ties have an odd history.Soldiers from Croatia，in Eastern Europe，served as mercenaries（雇傭軍）in various conflicts in the 17th century.They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck.Known as cravats（圍巾），these became a popular fashion item in France and evertually evolved into the tie.
4 It’s an interesting story，but it doesn‘t tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth or silk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification（身份證明）.In the 19th-century Britain，ties were used by universities，military regiments（團(tuán)），sports clubs，schools and gentleman’s clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain‘s most powerful classes.That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.And that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-the business class.
5 You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living，rather than his hands.It showed you were serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world.
6 Is there a future for ties？The signs are not promising.Many political leaders，including British Prime Minister Tony Blair，now go without ties.
23.Paragraph 2______.
24.Paragraph 3______.
25.Paragraph 4______.
26.Paragraph 6______.
A Origin of the tie
B British ties
C Uselessness of the tie
D Old-fashioned ties
E Role of the tie
F Signs of a tieless era
27.The British Medical Association suggested that______.
28.Ties were first worn by the Croatian soldiers______.
29.People wore different ties in Britain in the 19th century to show that______.
30.British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a man______.
A they were workmen
B they wrere members of different organizations
C hospital doctors stop wearing ties
D who does not always wear a tie
E who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 17th century
F who does not want to live like a king

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy： no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is， he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast， I am an outspoken（直言不諱）girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say， I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day： “If one does not love you the way you like， it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night， I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival， he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities（手續(xù)）.When I was put on a drip（點(diǎn)滴），he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender（溫柔的）voice， I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually， I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later， he was still mumbling（咕噥地說(shuō)）to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment， I found love in his eyes.
Another time， I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault， I refused to admit it. I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake， but this was what everyone should do. The next morning， I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father， understands my like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
1. Who is Andy？
A. The writer‘s father.
B. The writer’s uncle.
C. The writer‘s elder brother.
D. The writer’s boyfriend.
2.When did the writer and Andy fall in love？
A. Three years ago.
B. Two days ago.
C. On a cold winter night.
D. After a quarrel.
3. Which statement is true of the writer？
A. She likes running after romantic guys.
B. She does not like sweet words.
C. She likes expressing her feelings directly.
D. She does not like roses.
4. The writer tells the reader two stories to show that
A. Andy is a romantic guy.
B. Andy has his own way to express love.
C. Andy is an insensitive guy.
D. Andy is a foolish guy.
5.The word “sullen”（paragraph 3）could be best replaced by
A. “cheerful”
B. “calm”
C. “good”
D. “bad”
答案：1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.D

Farmers’ Markets
Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.（1）
“You don’t often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on fams it can be isolating，”she said.“There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich！”
Oliver Robinson，25，grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.（2）“I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay，”he said.“I guess it’s a nice，straightforward life，but it doesn’t appeal.For young，ambitious people，farm life would be a hard world.”For Robinson，farming doesn’t offer much“in terms of money or lifestyle.”Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards：“providing for a vital human need，while working outdoors with nature.”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK.（3）The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms，stopped meat exports，and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells（帶來(lái)）hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.（4）
“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance（蔑視）of the big supermarkets.（5）It’s terrible，”said Londoner Michael Samson.
A But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land.
B While most people buy food from the big supermarkets，hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
C While confident they will succeed，she lists farming’s many challenges：
D Young people prefer to live in cities.
E I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything-what exactly DO they put on our apples to make them so big and red？
F “Buy British”campaigns urge（鼓勵(lì)）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.
答案：C A F B E

London Cabbies
Every city in the world has taxi to take tourists to interesting places. London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an ____1____ experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs， which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. _____2_____British people are famous for being polite and reserved， London cabbies are well known _____3_____their willingness to talk.
Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab _____4____ off they are a captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi driver to stop _____5_____ “They’re self-confident and free thinking，” said Malcolm Linskey， the author of a history of taxi drivers in London.
They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. That’s why Ken Livingstone， the Mayor of London， is planning to make taxi drivers negotiate their fares with ______6______ before they take a ride.
Drivers agree that their fairs are expensive. That’s because their black taxis ____7____ more than other cars， they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world.
Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver， that person has to pass a test ____8_____ simply as “The Knowledge”。 This involves _____9_____ the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact centre of London. The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the _____10______ distance between any two destinations within this area.
It can ____11_____up to three years to pass “The Knowledge”.2 Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London， taking careful notes of popular destinations before tracing the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often _____12____ down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize _____13_____ they need to know when it is their turn to “do The Knowledge”。
The effect of this is to make London cabbies experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research found that the part of the brain that remembers things was larger and more ____14_____ in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads， so their brains grow bigger. So perhaps it is not ____15______ that taxi drivers have lots to day.

Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives， and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted， we often don‘t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people， we are usually friends with only a very few - for example， the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover， a great many relationships come under the blanket term “friendship”。 In all cases， two people like each other and enjoy being together， but beyond that， the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially， much depends on how people meet， and on favourable first impressions. As we get to know people， we take into account things like age， race， physical attractiveness economic and social status， and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance， it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level， we are sensitive to actual behaviour， facial expression， and tone of voice. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness， and it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive stare， and nervousness may be misread as hostility. People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when， in fact， they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion， but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs， to have attitudes and interests in common - they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”。 It generally takes time to reach this point; sometimes people “click” immediately. The more intimately involved people become， the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favours and hate to let them down. Equally， friends have to learn to make allowances for each other， to put up with irritating habits， and to tolerate differences of opinion. Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink！
In contrast with marriage， there are no friendship ceremonies， no rituals to strengthen the association between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond， which can overcome differences in background， and break down barriers of age， class or race.

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy： no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is， he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast， I am an outspoken（直言不諱）girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say， I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day： “If one does not love you the way you like， it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night， I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival， he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities（手續(xù)）.When I was put on a drip（點(diǎn)滴），he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender（溫柔的）voice， I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually， I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later， he was still mumbling（咕噥地說(shuō)）to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment， I found love in his eyes.
Another time， I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault， I refused to admit it. I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake， but this was what everyone should do. The next morning， I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father， understands my like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
1. Who is Andy？

D. The writer’s boyfriend.
2.When did the writer and Andy fall in love？

4. The writer tells the reader two stories to show that

Farmers’ Markets
Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.（1）
“You don’t often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on fams it can be isolating，”she said.“There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich！”
Oliver Robinson，25，grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.（2）“I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay，”he said.“I guess it’s a nice，straightforward life，but it doesn’t appeal.For young，ambitious people，farm life would be a hard world.”For Robinson，farming doesn’t offer much“in terms of money or lifestyle.”Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards：“providing for a vital human need，while working outdoors with nature.”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK.（3）The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms，stopped meat exports，and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells（帶來(lái)）hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.（4）
“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance（蔑視）of the big supermarkets.（5）It’s terrible，”said Londoner Michael Samson.
A But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land.
