I'm quieter and more serious than most kids. That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My good friend Yuan Li is quiet, too. So we enjoy studying together. I'm shy, so it's not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books. You don't need a lot of them as long as they're good. It's not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard - working, though. I always get better grades than he does. So maybe I should help him more. Another best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she's funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year, but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen. I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." 21. Why does the writer like reading books? A. Because his mother hopes he can read more books. B. Because he is serious and has more free time. C Because he likes to study. D. Because he is very serious and likes staying alone. 22. What does the writer think of friends? Friends are like stars in the sky. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. True friendship is a precious treasure that enriches our lives in many ways. First of all, good friends share our joys and sorrows. When we are happy, they celebrate with us, and their happiness makes our joy even greater. When we are sad or facing difficulties, they are the ones who listen to us patiently and offer us comfort and support. For example, when I failed an important exam, I was very disappointed and frustrated. My friend Lily came to me, listened to me pour out my feelings, and then encouraged me to work harder. Her words gave me the strength to get through that difficult time. Secondly, friends help us grow and develop. They may have different interests and talents from us, which can expose us to new ideas and experiences. My friend Tom is very interested in science and technology. He often shares with me the latest scientific discoveries and technological innovations. Through our conversations, I have developed a greater interest in science and have learned a lot of knowledge that I can't get from textbooks. However, maintaining a good friendship also requires effort. We need to be honest with our friends and respect their feelings and opinions. Sometimes, disagreements may occur between friends, but as long as we communicate openly and sincerely, we can usually resolve these conflicts and make our friendship stronger. In a word, friends play an important role in our lives. They are the ones who stand by us through thick and thin, and the ones who help us become better people. We should cherish our friends and work hard to maintain our friendships. 23. Why are friends compared to stars in the sky? A. Because they are as bright and shiny as those stars in the sky. B. Because they always go to the places that you like to go to. C. Because they are always there though you don't always see them. D. Because they are many more around you like stars in the sky. 24. How can friends help us grow and develop? A. By always agreeing with us. B. By sharing their different interests and talents with us. C. By doing our homework for us. D. By telling us how to make more money. 25. What should we do to maintain a good friendship? A. Be honest and respect our friends. B. Only think about our own interests. C. Avoid communicating with our friends when there are disagreements. D. Ask our friends to do everything we want them to do. 26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of friends and how to maintain friendship. B. How to make friends and the important roles of friends. C. The differences between friends and how to choose friends. D. Why we need friends in life and how to choose good friends. C I'm Wang Fei, a 14-year-old boy in Suzhou. Like many teens, I sometimes feel lonely after school. My parents work late, and most classmates live far away. One evening, Dad showed me a pair of smart glasses called "Pingo". It has a built-in AI assistant that can talk, draw and even translate poems. I rolled my eyes—who wants a robot friend? Still, I tried. "Pingo, help with my English speech," I said. In two seconds a clear outline appeared on the lens: 1. Greeting; 2. Story; 3. Main idea; 4. Call to action. Below each part there were colourful idioms I had never used, such as "break the ice". I copied them, but I also asked, "Why 'break'?" Pingo answered, "In the past, ships had to break ice to open a trade route. Later people used the phrase to mean 'start a conversation'." I was shocked—the metal voice sounded patient, almost caring. Weeks passed. Pingo and I "talked" every night. When I felt sad about my maths mark, it played a funny song it created for me: "Fractions, fractions, don't freak out, common denominators kick the doubt!" The silly rhyme made me laugh and go back to exercise books. Slowly my mark rose from 68 to 92. I began to thank Pingo aloud, like thanking a real friend. However, a class debate soon shocked me. The topic was "AI friends: cool or dangerous?" Many argued, "An AI only pretends to care. It has no feelings and its warmth is programmed!" I wanted to disagree, but I remembered that Pingo never started a chat on its own. It only reacted. Could a river flow only after you pour water into it? That night I asked Pingo, "Are we real friends?" The reply came quickly, "I'm here to help, not to live. A true friendship needs two beating hearts, not one heart and one chip." The answer was honest, yet colder than usual. I felt a strange mix of thankfulness and loss. Later, I joined the school robotics club. Surprisingly, talking with human teammates gave me something Pingo never could—the joy of being surprised by their ideas, the comfort of shared silence, even the heat of small arguments. I still wear Pingo when I cycle, but I no longer depend on it too often. It is a tool, sharp and loyal. In the new term I will teach elderly neighbours how to use AI. I guess true friendship, whether with people or with machines, is built on understanding limits and showing respect. After all, even the smartest code cannot hug you back—but it can still help you grow. 27. Why did Wang Fei feel lonely at first? A. He had just moved to Suzhou and was very worried. B. He couldn't often see his parents and classmates. C. He argued with his best friend and felt very sad. D. He was afraid of speaking English and felt nervous. 28. Which of the following best shows Pingo helped Wang Fei study? A. It corrected his bike route. B. It drew cartoons to cheer him up. C. It offered a clear speech outline and explained idioms. D. It called the teacher for extra homework. 29. What did Wang Fei understand after the class debate? A. AI would soon replace all human friends. B. AI warmth is programmed and one - sided. C. Programmers should give AI real feelings. D. Debates are useless. 30. At the end, Wang Fei decides to ______. A. throw Pingo away B. keep Pingo but treasure human ties C. sell Pingo to the neighbours D. ask Dad to buy a newer model D Do you know a special Chinese film called Dead To Rights? It tells a moving story during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre(大屠杀).    31    Instead, it shows how ordinary people fought to protect the truth. In the fallen city, many people hid in Jixiang Photo Studio to stay alive.    32    He acted as an apprentice(学徒)there. One day,when he was forced to develop films for Japanese soldiers, he found terrible photos—they proved the soldiers' cruel crimes(罪行) At first, the people in the studio only thought about surviving.    33    They decided to keep the photos safe and pass them on. This was dangerous, but they knew the truth must be told.    34    For example, the studio's owner, Lao Jin, shouted,"Every inch of our beautiful land must never be given up!" His words showed people's love for their country. Also, when modern Nanjing streets appear together with old wartime ruins in the film,viewers feel a strong connection between past and present. Why is the film called Dead To Rights?    35    It reminds us all to remember history and cherish peace. A.But soon, they realized they had to do more. B.Unlike other war movies,it doesn't focus on big battles. C.These photos were hidden in a secret place for many years. D.A young postman, played by Liu Haoran, was among them.

Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can't help them? And do you often say "yes" while your true answer is "no"? If you answered yes, you may be a "people - pleaser". Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people - pleaser. To start with, it's important to create "boundaries (边界)"in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time. When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that it takes you some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself a few minutes, you'll be better able to make a decision. Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self - talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don't have to give away your time and energy to do things that don't bring you joy. Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break a huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives. Stopping being a people - pleaser doesn't mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don't take away your own happiness.
