Passage A

An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining (解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator.

Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor's house!

Passage B

If you know me well, you know I don't like birthday parties. At least, I don't like birthday parties given for me. I enjoy them when they are for other people, but when they are for me, I just don't like them.

I remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when I was a student at the university. Of course, I had told my best friend Henry that I didn't want a party and I made him promise he wouldn't do anything. He agreed. I should have known better than to believe him.

On the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, I don't know, three or half past three. We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain , a kind of strange female(女) voice started singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”

And then from all over the room, people joined in. There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room.

They had got my roommate's key and got in earlier. They had all planned to come out of the hiding place just at the same time while singing. I guess I really upset their plans by going in just to wash my hands.

4. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A. I got home from school at 3 or 3:30 on the day of my birthday.

B. I dislike birthday parties held for me.

C. Henry agreed that he would not do anything on my birthday.

D. I knew there were some of my friends hiding in my room.

5. I usually went into the ______ when I got home from school.

A. living room   B. bedroom    C. bathroom    D. dining room

6. What did my friends plan to do?

A. They planned to leave the room as soon as possible.

B. They planned to sing as loudly as they could.

C. They planned to eat in the bathroom.

D. They had planned to come out of hiding places together.

Passage C

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair?weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

7. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?

A. understanding.  B. honesty.   C. reliability.  D. a sense of humor.

8. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .

A. they will give you all that they have when you need help

B. you will be refused when you get into trouble

C. you will become rich

D. you can be sure that you get real friends

9. Good friends need to ______.

A. always point out each other's mistakes   B. be helped with money

C. understand each other's feelings     D. have money or luck
