Dear Dani,
My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her.What should I do?
Anna
Dani says:
Often people make things up because they're worried that they are not interesting.So let your friend know that she doesn't need stories to make friends or impress others.Point out that when others discover the truth, they won't be impressed at all.
Dear Dani,
I have two best friends and they're always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything.What can I do?
Tom
Dani says:
Groups of three can be very difficult because one person often gets left out.Your friends may not realize how you feel.Talk to them about this and agree to plan the next outing together.With a bit of effort, a group of three can be a wonderful friendship!
Dear Dani,
I told my friend a secret, but then I found out she told it to somebody else.What can I do?
Daisy
Dani says:
We all make mistakes so give your friend another chance.But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again.If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future.
Dear Dani,
I'm friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it.Can't girls be friends with boys as well?
Mary
Dani says:
Of course girls can be friends with boys.Some girls laugh at this because they don't really know any boys.Carry on enjoying your friendship.If the girls got to know this boy, they might stop teasing you.Why not invite one or two of them along next time you meet him?

Rehmat and His Perfume
He smelled beautiful as he leaned across the table to pour my coffee.I later learned his name was Rehmat.He works in the hotel where we are staying in Fujairah, UAE.I couldn't resist it and had to tell him his scent was beautiful.He thanked me.
As I continued to enjoy my breakfast, Rehmat returned to my table.He presented me with his perfume.He said there wasn't much left in it but he wanted to give it to me as a gift.I was touched! What a kind man! He had gone to his bag and fetched me the gift.Of course, I couldn't take this gift;it's too much.
I decided that I would give a gift to Rehmat.I went to my room and brought down a little Irish Celtic Cross coaster (玻璃杯垫).When I returned to the dining area, he was gone but the manager said he would send Rehmat to my room.I gave Rehmat the little coaster.He was so touched.It was the first time in his three years here that a guest had given him something.He kept touching his heart and bowing his head.
Rehmat is from Pakistan.He told me he was going to immediately send a photo of this to his mum and other family members, and tomorrow Rehmat was going to bring me some fruit from his home.I think he said he was also going to take us to his home to enjoy their hospitality (好客).
Rehmat thinks I have made his day.The truth is, he warms my heart more than he can possibly know.I think I have made another friend.My friends, what a joy to open our hearts and be blessed in return with a grateful and loving heart of another!

Technology has made online friendships possible.Online friends are people who have known each other through the Internet.Are online friendships as beneficial as facetoface friendships?
When you use social networking websites and chat rooms, you can easily find people with similar interests and hobbies.Making friends on the Internet is especially good for shy people who feel uncomfortable in social situations.It's often easier to share thoughts and feelings online.What's more, online friends can make people feel less lonely and help them solve problems.
Although the Internet can encourage friendships, it has a major disadvantage.It's much easier for some people to cheat others because they are not face to face.Online friends only tell you what they want you to know.They sometimes exaggerate their good qualities and hide the less positive ones, so you can't be sure of what they really like.
Some feel as strongly about their online friends as they do about their offline friends.But it's not unusual for online friends to become facetoface friends.However, there are many people who believe that it's not possible for people to have deep relationships with online friends.
People express different opinions about online friendships.However, most of them would agree that facetoface friendships cannot be replaced by online friendships.

When you choose a friend, you 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 fairweather 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 in his character, such as 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 won't be quick to judge.Instead, he will put himself in the other person's shoes, 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.When he finds he makes mistakes, he will admit them and fix them.You can always have open conversations to express yourselves.In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability.I can always depend on 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.
In addition to above all, there is a fourth quality that makes a friend special.A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun.He likes to do the same things as me.We share experience and learn from each other.Then we can enjoy our lives and our friendship.
When I meet someone who has these qualities, I know I've found a good friend!

阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

There was a story of someone 38. (break)his promise to his friend.Two men 39. were travelling through a forest together promised to help each other whatever danger threatened them.They had not gone far when a bear rushed them from some bushes.One man was a good climber, and climbed a nearby tree very quickly, but the other, seeing that he had no chance alone against the bear, fell flat 40. his back and pretended 41.

The bear came up to him and sniffed at him.The bear thought the man was dead, so he went off into the wood again without hurting him.When he had gone, the other traveller came down from his tree, and smilingly asked his partner what the bear 42. (say) to him.“My best friend,” he said, “I saw the bear put his mouth close to your ear.” “He told me to tell you,” replied the other 43.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个故事告诉我们对朋友信守承诺的重要性。
36.解析 考查形容词。此处作表语,应用形容词形式,rely的形容词为reliable。
答案 reliable
37.解析 考查名词。空前为定冠词the,空后为介词of,因此设空处应用名词形式。句意:因此,遵守诺言的重要性怎么强调都不为过。
答案 importance
38.解析 考查非谓语动词。该句中已有谓语was,故此处应用非谓语动词。someone与break之间为主动关系,故使用现在分词形式。句意:有一个关于某人违背对他的朋友的诺言的故事。
答案 breaking
39.解析 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词men,空后句子缺少主语,故推测设空处引导定语从句。修饰men,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故应用关系代词who或that。句意:要一起穿过森林的两个人承诺,无论什么危险危及他们,都要互相帮助。
答案 who/that
40.解析 考查介词。fall flat on one's back某人仰面朝天。句意:一个人是爬树的好手,很快就爬上了附近的一棵树,但是另一个人看到自己没有独自对抗熊的可能性,就仰面朝天假装死了。
答案 on
41.解析 考查非谓语动词。pretend to do sth 假装做某事,故填to be。
答案 to be
42.解析 考查时态。设空处为what引导的宾语从句的谓语,asked是过去发生的动作,而“say”发生在asked之前,因此表示过去的过去,应用过去完成时。句意:它(熊)走后,另一个旅行者从树上下来,微笑着问他的同伴熊对他说了什么。
答案 had said
43.解析 考查副词。修饰动词replied应用副词形式。句意:另一个人平静地回答说:“它让我告诉你,你是个十足的懦夫,将来我不应该相信那些作出美好承诺但在危险中却不站在朋友一边的人。”
答案 calmly
44.解析 考查冠词。此处指“你是个十足的懦夫”,表示泛指,coward为可数名词,且great的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
答案 a
45.解析 考查连词。设空处前后为两个完整的句子,应用连词连接。此处指“不要相信美好的诺言,除非你信任许下诺言的人”。空处意为“除非”,故填unless。
答案 unless

I truly learned what a best friend is in my first year at high school.Kate and I were good friends and we were inseparable (分不开的).We spent every day together and always had a good time.
Then basketball season started and we were on the same team.After a few games, however, Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup fulltime.I wouldn't admit it then, but in fact I envied (嫉妒) her much.Having different practice times, we began to see less of each other and talked less.Soon I was told by others that she was talking behind my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new haircut.To my great surprise, the next day at school she told everyone that I copied her style because she had told me she wanted to get her cut like this.As a result, I was angry and quite disappointed with her.At noon she handed me a letter and walked away instead of talking with me.I couldn't accept the cruel words on the paper.In great anger,I wrote right back to her.Over the next week, we exchanged more hurtful letters.I cried myself to sleep every night, believing our friendship was over.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One night my mom took me to Kate's home.
It has been five months since we broke up with each other.
One possible version:
One night my mom took me to Kate's home.Our moms looked at each other, nervous and worried.Kate's mom asked us questions but we both kept silent.I stared at the floor, angry and sad.At last, I let everything out with tears in my eyes.The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we each talked about how we were feeling these days.To my relief, it was all out.Suddenly, to my great surprise, Kate rose from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me with tears.Then I could hardly hold back my tears and hugged her back.
It has been five months since we broke up with each other.Last weekend we played together again, laughed a lot and had a good time.It makes me happy that we are not only learning to care about each other more but also value our friendship.Now I know whenever I am asked about my friends at high school, Kate will be my best friend forever.
