Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It’s eight o'clock now! Here comes the time for Morning New Highlights.
One person was killed and two were injured in a car accident just thirty minutes ago. Cause of the accident is not yet found out. A great fire swept through a storehouse next to the Fulton River early this morning, causing about $3,000,000 in damage. The fire which broke out at about 2:30 was finally put out at 5:30.
During a heavy rainfall last night a bus carrying 42 passengers slipped off the road on Highway 28, killing 36 of the passengers and the driver. A spokesman for the Highway Patrol (巡逻队) who arrived at the scene shortly after 11:30 p.m. estimated that the accident had happened about half an hour before. The injured and the dead were sent to the nearest town of Valley View. At the point where the accident happened the road has a three-lane highway with many curves (弯道). Cause of the accident has not been fully found out.
So much for the latest news on the Morning News Highlights . This is Dan Verne reporting.
1. How many pieces of news are reported in the short passage?
A Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
2. When did the car accident probably happen?
A. At about 2:30 a.m.
B. At 5:30 a.m.
C. After 11:30 p.m.
D. At about 11:00 p.m.
3. What should one focus on considering the cause of the bus accident?
A. Highway 28.
B. The careless driver.

“Come on! All of us are cutting (逃课) maths. Who wants to go to take that quiz? We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class, take the quiz and all? Or do you give in and go with him?
People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with — even adults.
Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or you got others excited about your new favourite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.
It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.
It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle it, talk to someone you trust — a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.
4. With the author’s words in the first paragraph, what is the kid doing?
A. Planning some interesting activities after school. B. Making an announcement about a dinner party.
C. Persuading other kids to take a quiz with him. D. Encouraging other kids to cut class.
5. What can be known according to the author?
A. For kids, peer pressure may do more harm than good.
B. Maths is the most difficult subject for most kids.
C. Kids today are under greater pressure than before.
D. Peer pressure exists among people of all age groups.
6. What is suggested to the readers in the last paragraph?
A. Making more close friends while at school.
B. Learning to refuse their friends in a polite way.
C. Getting support from someone else if necessary.
D. Building closer relations with their parents and teachers.
7. Whom is the text probably written for?
A. The students. B. The parents. C. The teachers. D. The friends.
C
Do you use social media? If so, then you are part of a social network. Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections.
When you create a profile (a description of somebody that gives useful information) on a social networking site, you open up a number of possible social connections. You can look up old friends, make new friends, and share music, photos and videos with them. You can also join groups according to your interests or hobbies, favourite TV shows or music.
Setting up a social networking account (账号) is simple. You just create and post a personal profile. For this you need a login name, password, and an email account. Then you add some personal information such as name, age, sex, location, interests, etc. You can also add a photo of yourself. You can control who sees your profile. The next step is to look for new friends, and add them to your network. Then you can search your friends’ connections for anyone else you’d like to add to your network.
Different social networking sites allow people to communicate in different ways. There are sites that allow you to enlarge your personal community. Then there are ones that include media sharing, where members upload and look at other people’s pictures and videos. There are also ones that specialise in sharing music, such as Last.fm, and finally, ones that allow bloggers to form online communities, such as LiveJournal.
The latest trend (趋势) in social networking is to create your own independent social network. Companies do this to make their products sell well and people do it to create their own communities.
8. What’s the writer’s purpose in Paragraph 1?
A. To raise a question.
B To lead to the topic.
C. To introduce some sites.
D. To advertise a social network.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. It’s easy to build a social networking account.
B. It’s easy to search your friends’ connections.
C. It’s possible to add a photo of yourself.
D. It’s simple to control a social network.

True friendship is like sound health: the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. — Charles Caleb Colton.
Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or a chat to express your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and you really care for him.
Points to Remember:
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.
Words: While writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence: Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery: You can either post it or deliver the letter personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology.
Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.
12. The saying in the first paragraph is used to _______.
A. let readers study a famous saying B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. show who is Charles Caleb Colton D. tell readers the importance of health
13. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Differences never happen if you are good friends.
B. The person who causes a fight should apologize.
C. True friendship is very important.
D. Fights can happen in any relationship.
14. From the passage, we can know that the writer advises using _______ to apologize.
A. the email B. text messages C. a chat D. letters
15. When writing a letter of apology, you should _______.
A. try to point out the friend’s mistake
B. make the letter long and interesting
C. begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake
D. write the importance of your friendship in the first paragraph
