Dionysius, the king of Sicily, was awfuly cruel. He had many enemies among his people. Pythias was one of them. He planned to kill the king and free Sicily from his rule. Dionysius got the wind of it, caught Pythias and sentenced him to death. “Do you have anything to say before you die?”asked Dionysius. “Yes,”said Pythias. “I would ask that you give me five more days of life. I want to say goodbye to my family.” “Do you think I am stupid?”Dionysius laughed. “How do I know you’ll come back?” “You have my word. ” “Do you expect me to trust you? I need someone to die in your place if you do not return. Do you have such a friend?” A loud voice came from the crowd. “Yes!” Damon rushed forward. “I’m his friend Damon. I’ll stay in prison until he returns, and I’ll die for him if I have to.” Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Well,”he finally said. “But you’re a fool!” “He’ll keep his word,”Damon replied. Pythias was then allowed to leave and Damon was thrown into prison. After a few days, Pythias hadn’t shown up. The king went to the prison to see if Damon regretted his decision. “Your time is almost up.” Dionysius laughed. “What a fool you are!” “He’ll be back,” Damon replied. The final day came. At noon, Damon was taken from his prison. “What do you think of your friend now?” asked Dionysius. “I trust him,” Damon calmly answered. “He’ll be here.” Five hours passed. The king laughed at Damon again. “You value his life more than yours!” The executioner (行刑人) raised his axe (斧子). But just before the blow, a voice was heard in the distance: “Set Damon free!” Pythias rushed to his friend. “My ship was broken. Some robbers attacked me. I ran as fast as Icould.

He planned to kill the king and free Sicily from his rule.”“I would ask that you give me five more days of life. I want to say goodbye to my family.”“Pythias was then allowed to leave and Damon was thrown into prison.”“My ship was broken. Some robbers attacked me. I ran as fast as Icould.

Here are a few to practice with your friends. The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples: John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin. If two people are “like two peas (豌豆) in a pod”, it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other. I have never seen Lola and Camille argue; they are like two peas in a pod. Some friends are especially sympathetic and easy to talk to. They are not judgmental or impatient. They are good at sharing our pain, which helps reduce our pain. A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”. We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and this person can bring comfort to us. “Hit it off” with someone means falling in love with someone quickly or getting along with someone. This usually happens the first time two people are meeting. They often share interests, goals and beliefs. This can happen between friends who like each other at first sight. Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today. Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date, but we are going to try once more. 1．Which of the following may be friends through thick and thin? A．Friends who often play games. B．Friends who help reduce pain. C．Friends who share a long friendship. D．Friends who are easy to deal with. 2．Which of the following idioms describes two similar friends? A．Hit it off. B．Through thick and thin. C．A shoulder to cry on. D．Like two peas in a pod. 3．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To introduce some English idioms. B．To explain what a good friendship is. C．To teach readers how to learn idioms well. D．To offer some examples of English sentences. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几个描述朋友之间关系的习语。 1．细节理解题。根据“The idiom ‘through thick and thin’ is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time.”可知，“through thick and thin”，即“风雨同舟”，这个成语用来描述一个在好时光和坏时光都忠诚支持的朋友，它最常用来形容长久以来牢固的友谊。因此，“风雨同舟”的朋友可能是分享长久友谊的朋友。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“If two people are ‘like two peas (豌豆) in a pod’, it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other.”可知，“like two peas (豌豆) in a pod”，即“如出一辙”，意味着他们相处得非常好，他们是两个非常好的朋友，彼此非常相似。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了几个描述朋友之间关系的习语，因此文章的目的是介绍一些英文习语。故选A。 （2024·江苏镇江·二模）Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all want to be close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and share things with each other. Of course, no two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well. We can also make new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. When I was young, I started to change schools because mom changed her jobs. Once again, I was at a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That was where the similarities (相似处) ended. I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. My hair was thick, short and ugly while hers was long and beautiful. I was shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends. One day, she invited me over and I said yes. I was too surprised to refuse her invitation. Actually, no one had invited me over to play before. But this girl wanted to see me. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room apartment with her big family. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was really surprising. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild imaginations. We had a great time that afternoon. She charmed the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices (薄片). Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through my tough (艰难的) teenage and taught me an amazing thing about making friends: The worst enemy can turn out to be the best friend. 1．Why does the writer say “That was where the similarities ended.”? A．They had the same hobby . B．Paris is much better than the writer. C．It’s impossible for them to be friends. D．The writer is older than Paris. 2．Which of the following can show the change of the writer’s feelings in the passage? A．nervous — regretful— happy — thankful B．unhappy — surprised— excited — thankful C．surprised — unhappy — nervous — excited D．sad — surprised— angry — thankful 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．The writer was the tallest and Paris was the smallest. B．At first, Paris disliked the writer. C．There were three people in Paris’s family. D．Paris was very popular around the whole neighborhood. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The worst friend B．The worst can be the best C．Ways to be friends D．My new school life 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者把Paris看作自己的敌人，最后对她转变了看法，并成为了好朋友，从这个经历作者明白一个道理：最坏的敌人可能变成最好的朋友。 1．推理判断题。根据“I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. My hair was thick, short and ugly while hers was long and beautiful. I was shy. She wasn’t”可知，作者和她有很多不同的地方，所以认为两个人根本不可能成为朋友，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.”可知，刚开始作者把她当成自己的敌人，所以此时的心情是不开心的。根据“I was too surprised to refuse her invitation”可知，作者对于她的邀请感到惊讶。根据“We had a great time that afternoon.”可知，和她玩了一个下午感到非常开心和兴奋。根据“Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through my tough (艰难的) teenage and taught me an amazing thing about making friends”可知，对于Paris持有感激之情，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“She charmed the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices ”可知，她在社区很受欢迎，故选D。 4．最佳标题题。根据“The worst enemy can turn out to be the best friend.”及整文的内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者把Paris看作自己的敌人，最后对她转变了看法，并成为了好朋友，从这个经历作者明白一个道理：最坏的敌人可能变成最好的朋友，也就是“最坏的也可能是最好的”适合本文标题，故选B。 进阶拓展训练5篇 （2024·江苏扬州·二模）________: Please advise!

Since then, a close friendship has grown between us. But last Saturday, she broke my heart. We planned to see a film that afternoon. But in the morning, she posted a message saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to go to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.” Today, however, a classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a café on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! I was so angry and I still don’t feel like replying to any of her messages. The stress of this situation is killing me, and I’m at a loss what to do next. Cindy Monday 13th May 9:52 p.m. I’m so sorry! But this friendship is worth saving: eight years is a long time! Don’t be so quick to judge your friend. Perhaps she knows she’s wrong and wants to apologize (道歉), or maybe she will explain for her behavior. If so, you can choose to forgive (原谅) her. Anyway, find a chance to have a talk with her. Listen to what she has to say and tell her how you feel. I’m sure you can solve this problem together. David Tuesday 14th May 8:11 a.m. I truly understand how you feel. I also had a close friend. When I found out that I was tricked by him, I was really hurt and let go of our friendship. I know you value your friendship and want your friend to value it equally. However, if your friend doesn’t care about your feelings or makes you suffer (痛苦), it’s time to rethink your relationship. Talk to her and decide whether this friendship is still important to you. It’s sad to move on, but you have to accept that friends come and go in life. 1．What do we know about Amy’s friend? A．She told Amy that she was ill. B．She made a trick on Amy for fun.

However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many advantages of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. ① Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends. ② We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. ③ Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the happiness of staying with a group of people is not the same as being with friends. ④ Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 1．According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of “fruits” EXCEPT ________. A．making our hearts peaceful B．realizing our dreams with friends’ help C．guiding our own feelings easily D．understanding our problems better 2．We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A．it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than ourselves B．our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C．our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D．it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 3．The sentence “Happiness shared will become a happiness doubled and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved!” can be put in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．Which shows the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Walking the Path of Life B．Understanding of Friendship C．Advice on Making Friends D．Improvements of Social Life 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了亲密朋友给我们带来的三种“果实”。 1．细节理解题。根据“Generally speaking, close friendships have three ‘fruits’: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for.”及“The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends.”可知，亲密友谊的“果实”，用和平抚慰我们的心灵，在朋友的帮助下实现我们的目标，更好地理解我们的问题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make.”可知，我们可以通过与聪明的朋友交谈来获得更好的理解，因为我们的朋友能够为我们的重要决策提供更好的建议。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage.”可知，此处提到要与朋友分享，故所给句子“分享的快乐会变成加倍的快乐，分担的麻烦会变成减半的麻烦！”符合语境。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段提到“人生之路”指出社交生活对我们也很重要，第二段指出我们可以享受友谊的好处及亲密的友谊有三个“果实”；第三段第四段和第五段具体说明了友谊的三个“果实”是什么，第六段总结我们应该谨慎发展朋友，通过值得信赖的朋友的帮助走上“人生之路”。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据“In this way, we can better walk the ‘path of life’ with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.”及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了亲密朋友给我们带来的三种“果实”，选项B“理解友谊”符合本文标题。故选B。 （23-24八年级上·江苏扬州·期末） Chad is a rabbit who believes he is a dog. He eats from dog bowls, sleeps in the dog’s bed, and follows us around the backyard like a dog. Naturally, his best friend is our dog, Jeannie. We actually have four rabbits. Funnily enough, Jeannie loves to chase after wild rabbits if she sees one on a walk. But she never chases ours, and Chad has always been her favourite. When we let them out in the yard together, they each do their own thing at first, then Jeannie will come back and rest in the shade, and Chad will come, lie next to her and be greeted with a kiss. All four of our rabbits take part in a Read to Rabbits program at a nearby education center for children. Kids who usually don’t want to read can’t wait to sit down with the rabbits to read them a story. One boy with special needs who rarely speaks said his first full sentence to one of our rabbits. At the end of every school year, Jeannie joins in Read to Rabbits wearing her own pair of rabbit ears. On one occasion, their friendship had lifesaving effect. That afternoon, Chad was jumping around the grass in the backyard when my parents visited with their dog, Bradley.

After seeing that, Jeannie rushed across the yard and chased Bradley away, but by the time we got to Chad, he was lying on the grass and badly hurt. Chad had a broken jaw and a low chance of survival. We treated him actively and fed him carefully for weeks, hoping he would get well soon.

No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life. I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they necessarily change. There are some common reasons why some friendships end. Friends lose contact (联系) sometimes simply because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles changes, friends often change with these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moved far away. When living or working places change, friendships change as well. It’s just a part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet many new people and become friends with them. You will also lose contact with junior high school friends, at least some of them. There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. However, you can keep some friendships by simply making an effort to stay in touch. This works well when you change your location (地点). When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember that these changes shouldn’t matter if the friendship is strong. Changing friendship doesn’t mean ending friendships. If the friendship has to end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, another will take his or her place, maybe bring new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time. 1．What does the underlined word “fade” in Para.1 mean? A．Continue. B．Disappear. C．Return.

No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life.”可知，在我们的生活中，朋友可以改变。无论你多么爱你的朋友，多么钦佩你的朋友，你们之间的友谊仍然会从你的生活中消失。因此推知“fade”为“消失”之意，与”disappear“同义。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore.”可知，作者基本上没有见过自己的小学朋友了。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet many new people and become friends with them.”可知，初中毕业后会结识新朋友并与他们成为朋友。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“However, you can keep some friendships by simply making an effort to stay in touch.”可知，可以通过努力保持联系来保持友谊。故选D。 5．观点态度题。根据“When living or working places change, friendships change as well.

The mast (桅杆) shakes as north wind blows; Why should my guest go to the west? The rain no longer drop down on hilltop; Out of the door rises the evening tide (潮汐). At night along the beach my friend should stop. Hear a lonely wild goose (大雁) cry by riverside! The poem Farewell to Liu Yu was an ancient poem written by Li Qi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was made up of eight lines, which can be divided into two parts. The first four lines were the first part of the poem, which started with writing the views. This poet used the cold reeds in the wind to lightly point out the parting emotions (离别情绪). However, on the moment of parting, Li Qi didn’t write the sad views to express his sorrow, but focused on the white waves of the autumn river, describing the environment. This way of writing has made this parting poem not so sad. The second part of the poem expressed Li’s best wishes after Li Yu’s leaving. He wished that the weather would change from rainy to clear, and the ship would sail with the tide, so that his friend’s journey could go smoothly. Li also did well in turning his feelings into pictures. For example,  in the last line, the wild goose is crying, making the parting feeling alive. 1．Which word rhymes with “west”? A．grow B．crest C．blow D．hilltop 2．What does underlined word “sorrow” mean? A．Happiness B．Excitement C．Sadness. D．Surprise. 3．Which of the following is written in the same way as the last underlined poem? A．Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. B．When she heard the bad news, a river of tears poured out. C．The rain sang and jumped out of the clouds. D．You are the whole world to me, and the moon and the stars. 4．According to the poem, which of the following is true? A．It was rainy when Li said farewell to Liu. B．It was spring when Li said farewell to Liu. C．Li was happy when writing the poem. D．Li and Liu were good friends. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了唐代诗人李颀的诗《送刘昱》。 1．推理判断题。根据“In the eighth moon the reed (芦苇) cold grows,  The autumn waves with white crest (浪头).  The mast (桅杆) shakes as north wind blows;  Why should my guest go to the west?”可知，与“west”押韵的是“crest”。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“This poet used the cold reeds in the wind to lightly point out the parting emotions (离别情绪).”“This way of writing has made this parting poem not so sad.”可知，诗歌表达的是悲伤的情绪。sadness“悲伤”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。“Hear a lonely wild goose (大雁) cry by riverside!”运用了拟人的修辞手法，写在河边听见大雁孤独的叫声。C选项“雨唱着歌，从云层里跳出来”也运用了这种手法。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“He wished that the weather would change from rainy to clear, and the ship would sail with the tide, so that his friend’s journey could go smoothly.”可知，李颀和刘昱是好朋友。故选D。 能力综合实践5篇 （23-24八年级下·江苏南通·期中）Many years ago in 1971, the US table tennis team was at the World Championship in Japan.

It was International Day of Friendship. In class that day, everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from among all her classmates. But when all the presents were shared out, she was the only one that didn’t receive a present! Fiona didn’t think of this and felt terrible, crying for hours. Everyone came to comfort her, but each stayed for only a short time before leaving—just as she did to others so many times. Fiona didn’t know why this happened because she was always a very popular girl at school. From an early age, she tried hard to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party and gave presents to everybody from time to time. That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care. For a true friend, you must always be there in good and bad times.” Hearing this, Fiona realized she was a good companion (伙伴), but she wasn’t a true friend to anyone. Although she tried to be close to everyone, she found that wasn’t enough to create true friendships. Fiona decided to change her ways to finally have some true friends. As she lay in bed that night, she thought about her mother, who was always ready to help her, put up with her bad points, encouraged her and loved her deeply. That was what made a true friend! Fiona smiled happily, realizing she already had the best friend anyone could ever want. 1．Why didn’t Fiona receive a present on the International Day of Friendship? A．Because she was not popular at school. B．Because her classmates forgot about her. C．Because she wasn’t a true friend to others.

Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob (势利的人). That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor (谣言) about her. But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn’t a snob, but she still didn’t understand why Niki wouldn’t talk to anyone. One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.” Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you, too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends. The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” At last, everyone else arrived. One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes filled with tears. Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. Don’t judge (判断) people before you know them. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumor you hear?” For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking. By the time lunch was over, Niki realized that Vanessa was right—all she had to do was to be herself. And what everyone else needed to do was to stop believing rumors. 1．Why did people think Niki was a snob at first? A．Because she refused to share her notebook.

So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends.”可知，Niki同意和Vanessa的朋友们一起吃午饭时，心情是不确定但又抱有希望的，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her.”、“One day, Niki explained herself...”、“One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, ‘Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.’ Niki’s eyes filled with tears.”和“At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking.”可知，先是Vanessa捡到并归还Niki的笔记本，然后Niki向Vanessa解释自己害羞的原因，接着Vanessa的一个朋友称Niki为势利的人，最后女孩们交谈并了解了Niki，所以顺序为②→④→①→③，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table.

I need someone to die in your place if you do not return. Do you have such a friend?” A loud voice came from the crowd. “Yes!” Damon rushed forward. “I’m his friend Damon. I’ll stay in prison until he returns, and I’ll die for him if I have to.” Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Well,”he finally said. “But you’re a fool!” “He’ll keep his word,”Damon replied. Pythias was then allowed to leave and Damon was thrown into prison. After a few days, Pythias hadn’t shown up.

At noon, Damon was taken from his prison. “What do you think of your friend now?” asked Dionysius. “I trust him,” Damon calmly answered. “He’ll be here.” Five hours passed. The king laughed at Damon again. “You value his life more than yours!” The executioner (行刑人) raised his axe (斧子). But just before the blow, a voice was heard in the distance: “Set Damon free!” Pythias rushed to his friend. “My ship was broken. Some robbers attacked me. I ran as fast as Icould.

Here are a few to practice with your friends. The idiom “through thick and thin” is used to describe a friend who is loyal and supportive during bad times as well as good times. It most often describes a friendship that has been strong for a long time. Here are two examples: John and Lisa have been friends through thick and thin. My best friend and I stayed together through thick and thin. If two people are “like two peas (豌豆) in a pod”, it means that they get along very well. They are two very good friends and they are very similar to each other. I have never seen Lola and Camille argue; they are like two peas in a pod. Some friends are especially sympathetic and easy to talk to. They are not judgmental or impatient. They are good at sharing our pain, which helps reduce our pain. A friend like this is often called “a shoulder to cry on”. We can go to this person with a problem or sadness and this person can bring comfort to us. “Hit it off” with someone means falling in love with someone quickly or getting along with someone. This usually happens the first time two people are meeting. They often share interests, goals and beliefs. This can happen between friends who like each other at first sight. Carmen and Isabel hit it off at the party and are going to a movie together today. Mike and I did not hit it off on our first date, but we are going to try once more. 1．Which of the following may be friends through thick and thin? A．Friends who often play games. B．Friends who help reduce pain. C．Friends who share a long friendship. D．Friends who are easy to deal with. 2．Which of the following idioms describes two similar friends? A．Hit it off. B．Through thick and thin. C．A shoulder to cry on. D．Like two peas in a pod. 3．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To introduce some English idioms. B．To explain what a good friendship is. C．To teach readers how to learn idioms well. D．To offer some examples of English sentences. （2024·江苏镇江·二模）Friends are very important in our everyday life. Everyone needs friends. We all want to be close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and share things with each other. Of course, no two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well. We can also make new friends. It is encouraging to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. When I was young, I started to change schools because mom changed her jobs. Once again, I was at a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That was where the similarities (相似处) ended. I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. My hair was thick, short and ugly while hers was long and beautiful. I was shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends. One day, she invited me over and I said yes. I was too surprised to refuse her invitation. Actually, no one had invited me over to play before. But this girl wanted to see me. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room apartment with her big family. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was really surprising. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild imaginations. We had a great time that afternoon. She charmed the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices (薄片). Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through my tough (艰难的) teenage and taught me an amazing thing about making friends: The worst enemy can turn out to be the best friend. 1．Why does the writer say “That was where the similarities ended.”?

Since then, a close friendship has grown between us. But last Saturday, she broke my heart. We planned to see a film that afternoon. But in the morning, she posted a message saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to go to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.” Today, however, a classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a café on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! I was so angry and I still don’t feel like replying to any of her messages. The stress of this situation is killing me, and I’m at a loss what to do next. Cindy Monday 13th May 9:52 p.m. I’m so sorry! But this friendship is worth saving: eight years is a long time! Don’t be so quick to judge your friend.

Listen to what she has to say and tell her how you feel. I’m sure you can solve this problem together. David Tuesday 14th May 8:11 a.m. I truly understand how you feel. I also had a close friend. When I found out that I was tricked by him, I was really hurt and let go of our friendship. I know you value your friendship and want your friend to value it equally. However, if your friend doesn’t care about your feelings or makes you suffer (痛苦), it’s time to rethink your relationship. Talk to her and decide whether this friendship is still important to you.

However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many advantages of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. ① Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends. ② We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. ③ Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the happiness of staying with a group of people is not the same as being with friends. ④ Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 1．According to the passage, close friendships have a lot of “fruits” EXCEPT ________. A．making our hearts peaceful B．realizing our dreams with friends’ help C．guiding our own feelings easily D．understanding our problems better 2．We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A．it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than ourselves B．our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C．our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D．it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 3．The sentence “Happiness shared will become a happiness doubled and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved!” can be put in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．Which shows the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Walking the Path of Life B．Understanding of Friendship C．Advice on Making Friends D．Improvements of Social Life （23-24八年级上·江苏扬州·期末） Chad is a rabbit who believes he is a dog. He eats from dog bowls, sleeps in the dog’s bed, and follows us around the backyard like a dog. Naturally, his best friend is our dog, Jeannie. We actually have four rabbits. Funnily enough, Jeannie loves to chase after wild rabbits if she sees one on a walk. But she never chases ours, and Chad has always been her favourite. When we let them out in the yard together, they each do their own thing at first, then Jeannie will come back and rest in the shade, and Chad will come, lie next to her and be greeted with a kiss.

Kids who usually don’t want to read can’t wait to sit down with the rabbits to read them a story. One boy with special needs who rarely speaks said his first full sentence to one of our rabbits. At the end of every school year, Jeannie joins in Read to Rabbits wearing her own pair of rabbit ears. On one occasion, their friendship had lifesaving effect. That afternoon, Chad was jumping around the grass in the backyard when my parents visited with their dog, Bradley. Since Chad’s best friend is a dog, he happily jumped over to 68-pound Bradley to say hello. But Bradley grabbed (咬住) 10-pound Chad by the face and shaking him. After seeing that, Jeannie rushed across the yard and chased Bradley away, but by the time we got to Chad, he was lying on the grass and badly hurt.

No matter how much you love and admire your friends, the friendship between you can still fade from your life. I remember having certain friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and seldom even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they necessarily change. There are some common reasons why some friendships end. Friends lose contact (联系) sometimes simply because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles changes, friends often change with these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moved far away. When living or working places change, friendships change as well. It’s just a part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet many new people and become friends with them. You will also lose contact with junior high school friends, at least some of them. There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. However, you can keep some friendships by simply making an effort to stay in touch. This works well when you change your location (地点). When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember that these changes shouldn’t matter if the friendship is strong. Changing friendship doesn’t mean ending friendships. If the friendship has to end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, another will take his or her place, maybe bring new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time. 1．What does the underlined word “fade” in Para.1 mean? A．Continue. B．Disappear. C．Return.

Niki was new to the school, and Vanessa had thought she was a snob (势利的人). That was mostly because Niki said little, and besides, that was the rumor (谣言) about her. But then, Niki left her notebook on the playground by accident, and Vanessa picked it up and returned it to her. Then the two girls started to talk, and they got to know each other. Now Vanessa knew that Niki wasn’t a snob, but she still didn’t understand why Niki wouldn’t talk to anyone. One day, Niki explained herself, “I don’t really know anyone here except you, and I’m kind of shy. I know everybody thinks I’m a snob, but I’m not. I just don’t know what to say to people.” Vanessa had an idea for helping Niki. “If my other friends get to know you,” she told Niki, “they’ll like you, too. So why don’t you sit with my friends and me at lunch tomorrow? Then everybody will see what you’re like.” Niki was very uncertain, but she was tired of everyone thinking she was a snob. So she agreed to have lunch with Vanessa and her friends. The next day, Vanessa and Niki waited in the dining hall for Vanessa’s other friends. Niki was nervous, but Vanessa said, “Don’t worry. Just be yourself. You’ll be fine.” At last, everyone else arrived. One of Vanessa’s friends took one look at Niki and asked, “Why are you sitting with the snob, Vanessa? Come on and eat with us.” Niki’s eyes filled with tears. Vanessa took a breath and then said, “I’m sitting with Niki because she’s my friend and she’s nice. Don’t judge (判断) people before you know them. How about finding out for yourself instead of believing every rumor you hear?” For a moment, everyone looked at each other. Then, very slowly, the other girls sat down at the table. At first, nobody said much, but soon, they started talking.
