I didnt use to have many close friends when I was at school because I was very shy，but now I have several. They are all women. I think its difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex（异性）.-MarieI think a close friend is someone who youve known for a long time，and who you still get on with. They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. Ive got three close friends who I was at middle school with and we often go out together （without our parents of course）. We often go camping，play football，or walk outside in the open air-DavidIm not sure how to answer the question because I dont really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work，and the social occasions（场合） when we meet are business dinners, things like that. I think if you come from a really close family，friends are a bit unnecessary. I like spending my free time with my family-RichardFor me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people，and they are all my close friends. Theyre also people who live near me. I dont think you can have close friends at a distance because you need to be able to see each other often. But I dont think you need to be doing the same things. I mean Im at school but none of my friends are-Anna21. Who doesnt think women and men can be close friends?A. Marie.B. David.C. Richard.D. Anna.22. What does Richard say about friends?A.

They are all women.B. They all do the same things.C. They do not live far away.D. They are all college students.BThere are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didnt know what it meant. Realizing I didnt follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didnt follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.24. When Lily used the word “larder”, what was she probably looking for?A. A ladder.B. A cupboard. C. Some food.D. A cook.25. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Wrote down.B. Settled down.C. Looked for.D. Learned about.26. According to the text, in British English, _.A. the word “fleeces” means “tickets”B. the word “pissed” means “angry”C. the word “”engaged” means “broken”D. the word “rubber” means “eraser”27. How is the text mainly developed?A. By order in time. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.C83-year-oldAntonioVicentehas spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the current.

Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, Switch off the music and concentrate! Well, if thats the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side. The company gave 26 participants （参与者）a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state. they are going to become more positive about the work. However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers? Maybe, some dance music is suitable for you.32What did the participants have to do in the study？A.
