Nobody knows what the future holds for Knut. Some people think he should have a polar bear to live with.

C A father was very worried about his son,who,at 15 or 16 years old,seemed to show no signs of courage.In daily life,the boy would shy away from any challenges,whether it was trying a new sport at school or speaking up in class.So, the father went to see a famous boxing（拳击）coach and asked him to help his son.The coach agreed and said,“Leave your son with me. In three months,I promise he will be a changed person.However, you must not visit him during this time.”The father agreed. Three months later,the father returned to pick up his son as promised.The coach held a friendly match between the boy and an experienced boxer to show the training results.As soon as the match began,the boy was knocked down hard.But to everyone’s surprise,he quickly got up and faced his opponent（对手）again. He was knocked down again right away,but quickly jumped back to his feet.This happened again and again. The boy was knocked down 16 times, yet each time he stood up, and decided to face the challenge. Sweat ran down his face and he held his fists tight, which showed he was really brave. The coach turned to the father and asked,“Do you think your son's action shows courage?”I'm so sad. I never thought that after sending him here for three months of training, he would still get knocked down so easily," the father replied. The coach shook his head and said:“I really feel sorry for you. You're missing the point.You only see the falls,the superficial（表面上的）winning or losing.Don’t you see the courage of your son to get up each time?That's true strength.

According to The American Friendship Project(2024),while over 75% of people are happy with the number of friends they have, more than 40% feel they aren't as close to their friends as they would like to be. 1. There are a few reasons. One reason is the fear of being judged（评判）. In today＇s world，we may feel nervous about being fully honest or open with friends. 2. With so much going on we don't have as many chances to spend relaxing time together in person. For some,making a phone call or meeting in person can be uncomfortable. Even though almost all Americans have at least one friend, loneliness is still on the rise. What can we do to fight loneliness and build stronger connections with our friends? Here is some advice. 3. While social media are helpful, face-to-face conversations are better for building stronger relationships. If meeting in person is hard, try making phone calls to stay in touch. 4. To make in-person chats easier, write down topics or interesting stories you want to share. This can help avoid the awkward（尴尬的）moments when you’re not sure what to talk about. Make a call list. 5. This helps you remember to reach out and stay in touch with the people who matter to you. In conclusion,while busy lives and technology can make it harder to maintain（维持）close friendships，trying to connect in person can help reduce（减少）loneliness and make us closer. A. Keep a list of conversation topics. B. Focus on face-to-face conversations. C. Why don't we feel closer to our friends? D. Keep a list of friends you want to talk with. E. Another reason is that life today is faster and busier. F. Share your true feelings bravely with friends. G. Make more new friends online actively. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 六、首字母填空 Last Friday,our English teacher held a special class activity.When we gathered in the classroom,everyone wore big smiles and exchanged warm g .The activity was all a getting to know each other better.
