【解析】
【导语】本文讲述美美因胖自卑,受嘲笑后回家哭泣,爸爸通过韩红的例子引导她理解真正的美,最终重拾自信的故事。
【31题详解】
句意:她尝试了很多方法想变瘦。
根据“She thought she was too fat”可知,美美觉得自己胖,所以想变瘦,thinner符合语境。happier/stronger不符合减肥的语境。
【32题详解】
句意:她从不喜欢和朋友们一起吃晚餐,因为她害怕变胖。
由“because she was afraid of getting fatter”可知,因为担心变胖,所以她从不和朋友一起吃晚餐,never“从不”符合语境。often“经常”;always“总是”与害怕变胖的逻辑相反。
【33题详解】
句意:一天,美美像往常一样上了校车,把头低了下来。
根据“as usual”以及后文“she got off the bus”可知,这里是先上车,got on“上车”符合语境。got off“下车”;got back“回去”动作顺序不符合乘车流程。
【34题详解】
句意:美美感到很难过,所以她很快下了车。
“Meimei felt sad”和“she got off the bus quickly”之间是因果关系,前面是因,后面是果so表示结果。if“如果”;because“因为”无法体现因果逻辑。
【35题详解】
句意:我不喜欢我自己!
根据“I don’t like…!”,这是美美对爸爸说的话,主语是I,反身代词用myself。herself/yourself人称与主语不一致。
【36题详解】
句意:有些人善良,但有些人不是。
根据后文韩红帮助贫困家庭的例子可知,这里指的是有些人很善良,kind“善良的”符合语境。smart“聪明的”;famous“著名的”与后文助人为乐的行为不符。
【37题详解】
句意:但是她唱得非常动听以至于所有人都沉醉在她的歌声中。
根据“a famous singer”和“lost themselves in her songs”可知,她是唱歌,sang“唱歌”符合语境。danced“跳舞”;shouted“喊叫”与歌手身份及歌声语境不符。
【38题详解】
句意:她真正地想方设法地帮了他们很多。
此处强调她帮助他人的真实性和诚意,truly符合语境。quickly/suddenly无法准确表达帮助的程度和性质。
【39题详解】
句意:在那一刻,美美开始明白真正的美是什么。
结合前文美美因为外貌不自信,看到韩红的事迹后,她理解的应该是真正的美,beauty“美丽”符合语境。friend“朋友”;luck“运气”偏离文章关于外貌与内在的主题。
【40题详解】
句意:有时,怀疑和恐惧常常阻碍我们。
与“doubts”并列,且能“hold us back”的应为负面情绪,fears“害怕”符合语境。values/interests通常为正面或中性词汇,不符合语境。
三、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
第一节
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断其后面所给句子的对错,选Right填A,选Wrong填B,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprint (指纹) science was the easiest way to solve serious crimes. It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprints. But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?
According to experts, fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?
Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t be seen by the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown.
Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint exam may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly taking medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, taking proper medicine is important.
In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
41. People didn’t discover DNA information until the 1980s.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
42. Fingerprints can show both a person’s looks and lifestyle according to the passage.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
43. People can easily see all the fingerprints without the help of technology.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
44. Doctors can know about patients just through a fingerprint exam.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
45. In the future, fingerprint science can still make a difference in our life.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. B 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了指纹科学在犯罪侦查中的历史作用及其在现代医学和日常生活中的潜在应用。
【41题详解】
第一段提到DNA信息在20世纪80年代才被发现:“Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s”,说明在此之前人们还没有发现DNA信息。句子表述“直到20世纪80年代人们才发现DNA信息”与原文一致。
【42题详解】
第二段提到指纹可以显示生活方式、环境、饮食习惯、可能的医疗问题甚至职业:“fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.”,但并未提及外貌。句子表述“指纹能显示人的外貌和生活方式”与原文不符。
【43题详解】
第四段提到大多数指纹肉眼看不见,需要化学显影过程才能显示出来:“Most fingerprints can’t be seen by the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown.”,说明没有技术帮助人无法轻易看到指纹。句子表述“没有技术帮助人们能轻易看到所有指纹”与原文不符。
【44题详解】
第五段提到指纹检查可能告诉医生病人是否在正确服药,但并未说仅通过指纹检查就能了解病人全部情况:“A fingerprint exam may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly taking medicine.”,说明只是“可能”帮助。句子表述“医生仅通过指纹检查就能了解病人”过于绝对,与原文不符。
【45题详解】
最后一段提到未来指纹科学可以被警方使用并帮助医生保持我们尽可能健康:“In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.”,说明未来指纹科学仍能在生活中发挥作用。句子表述与原文一致。

Inventions improve our lives. But not all of them. Every once in a while, a silly idea appears. Of the four real inventions below, which do you think will disappear? And which would you maybe want for your very own?
Fish on wheels
Common fish tanks (鱼缸) are just sitting there. That’s a huge problem for a pet fish that wants to see the world (or at least the next room). This invention gives fish wheels. A fish tank sits on top of a robotic car. A camera watches the fish, and the car drives in the same direction (方向) that the fish swims.
Light-up Toilet (发光马桶)
Getting up at night to the washroom can be risky. Turn on the light, and you blind yourself. Wouldn’t it be great if the toilet bowl sensed (感应) your movement and started lighting in bright colors? That’s the idea behind IllumiBowl (马桶彩灯).
The Ostrich Pillow (鸵鸟枕)
Your eyes are heavy in the study hall, but the hard desk isn’t comfortable. And the room is crowded. Too bad you don’t have a pillow. This invention fits over the whole head—with a breathing hole by the nose and mouth.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍四款脑洞十足、新奇有趣的真实发明:可移动鱼缸、感应发光马桶、鸵鸟睡眠枕、肉味香皂,简单介绍每款产品的设计思路与功能,同时抛出两个问题引发读者思考:哪款发明会被淘汰、哪一款是自己想要拥有的。
【51题详解】
根据“Fish on wheels”部分“Common fish tanks (鱼缸) are just sitting there…A fish tank sits on top of a robotic car. A camera watches the fish, and the car drives in the same direction (方向) that the fish swims.”说明普通鱼缸固定不动,这款鱼缸装在机器人小车上面,能跟着鱼游动四处移动,这是它的独特之处。
【52题详解】
根据“Light-up Toilet”部分“Turn on the light, and you blind yourself. Wouldn’t it be great if the toilet bowl sensed (感应) your movement and started lighting in bright colors?”说明当感应到人的移动时,马桶会发光。
【53题详解】
根据“The Ostrich Pillow”部分“Your eyes are heavy in the study hall, but the hard desk isn’t comfortable. And the room is crowded. Too bad you don’t have a pillow.”说明学生在自习室,桌子硬,房间拥挤,且提到“真希望有个枕头”。“Your eyes are heavy”结合需要枕头睡觉的上下文,意为“非常困倦”。
【54题详解】
根据“Meat Soap”部分“Lots of people love the smell of fresh meat in a frying pan…You can smell like meat without eating it!”说明这款香皂由动物油脂制成,身上会带有煎肉的气味,不能吃,没有肉的味道。
【55题详解】
文章介绍了四种奇特的发明,语言风格轻松有趣,旨在引起读者兴趣并互动,这种体裁通常出现在杂志(Magazine)的生活或科技专栏中,而不是字典、小说或正式教材。
C
In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems like everything has been reinvented and greatly improved. However, there is one thing that is different. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained (保持) unchanged until now. It is the white cane (盲杖) used by blind people. Many blind people have used this kind of white cane for a long time. However, it has seen no real improvement, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to make a difference.
Kursat is from Turkey(土耳其). He lost his eyesight at the age of 2. He well understands the difficulties and challenges that the blind face. That’s because he himself is a blind person. As a blind person, when he is at the subway station, he doesn’t know which is his exit (出口). When walking on the street, he may run into obstacles.
Kursat decided to do something to help the blind. He invented a new kind of cane called the WeWalk. This smart cane is equipped (配备) with built — in speakers and different sensors (传感器). The sensors can “see” obstacles in front of it, like a wall or a car, and then the cane will vibrate (震动) to tell the user. It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. It can give the user information about the place he or she is visiting, such as the name of the store or the direction of the library. Besides, the cane can be folded, so it’s easy to carry. What’s more, the price of the WeWalk is around $500, which is relatively cheap compared with other high-tech products for the blind. This invention will bring great changes to the lives of blind people.
These days, we are talking about flying cars. But blind people are still using just a simple cane. With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life. It’s really a great invention that shows how technology can help improve people’s lives.
56. What does the word obstacles in the Paragraph 2 mean?
A. 机会 B. 宠物 C. 障碍物 D. 朋友
57. What can the WeWalk do according to the passage?
① It can "see" obstacles and vibrate to tell the user.
② It can connect to the Internet through Bluetooth.
③ It can give the user information about the place.
④ It can help the blind take a plane.
A. ①②③④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
58. Why did Kursat invent the WeWalk?
A. Because he wanted to make money. B. Because he wanted to be famous.
C. Because he wanted to help the blind like him. D. Because he liked inventing things.
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The WeWalk is very expensive. B. The WeWalk can’t be folded.
C. Kursat lost his eyesight when he was born. D. The WeWalk is a great invention for the blind.
60. Which part of the newspaper can we probably read the passage in?
A. Health. B. Science. C. Business. D. Travel.
【答案】56. C 57. B 58. C 59. D 60. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了土耳其盲人工程师Kursat发明的智能盲杖WeWalk,阐述了其传感器、联网等功能如何改善盲人生活,展现了科技的人文关怀价值。
【56题详解】
词义理解题。根据“when walking on the street, he may run into obstacles”的语境,结合盲人出行时可能遇到的困难,可知obstacles意为“障碍物”。故选C。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段描述,WeWalk的功能包括:① 通过传感器看到障碍物并震动提醒(“The sensors can ‘see’ obstacles...and then the cane will vibrate”)② 通过蓝牙连接互联网(“It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth”)③ 提供位置信息(“give the user information about the place”)文中未提及帮助盲人乘坐飞机功能。故选B。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Kursat decided to do something to help the blind”和“He well understands the difficulties...That’s because he himself is a blind person”可知,发明WeWalk是为了帮助像他一样的盲人。故选C。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据“With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life.”可知对WeWalk对盲人有很大帮助。故选D。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍科技产品WeWalk的发明及其功能,属于科技类内容。故选B。
四、语法填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的词或括号中所给单词的正确形式(每空一词)。
Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only ____61____ (passionate) curious.” The greatest inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.
Curiosity can ____62____ (bring) new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about ____63____ (it) nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he ____64____ (fly) a kite during a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod. This invention protects buildings from lightning.
Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious ____65____ (介词) space that he invented a “flying chair”! He lost his life while ____66____ (test) this invention. Despite the failure, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learnt from his example, and created safer ways to explore space.
But curiosity is ____67____ (much) than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and ____68____ (invent), was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? He spent years ____69____ (study) the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.
As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, ____70____ (冠词) keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.
【答案】61. passionately
62. bring 63. its
64. flew 65. about
66. testing
67. more 68. inventor
69. studying
70. the
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕“好奇心”展开,列举爱因斯坦、富兰克林、万户、张衡等中外人物事例,阐述好奇心能够推动发明创造、让人勇敢追逐目标,点明好奇心是探索世界、发现新世界的关键。
【61题详解】
句意:我没有过人的天赋,我只是单纯地充满好奇。此处修饰形容词curious,需使用副词形式,passionate的副词形式为passionately,故填passionately。
【62题详解】
句意:好奇心能够带来新发现。情态动词can后接动词原形,因此直接用bring,故填bring。
【63题详解】
句意:他被电吸引,对它的本质有着浓厚的好奇心。nature是名词,前面要用形容词性物主代词修饰,it对应的形容词性物主代词是its,故填its。
【64题详解】
句意:例如,他在暴风雨中放风筝。后文时态均为一般过去时,此处描述过去发生的动作,fly的过去式为flew,故填flew。
【65题详解】
句意:他对太空十分好奇,于是发明了“飞椅”。be curious about意为“对……感到好奇”,是固定介词搭配,故填about。
【66题详解】
句意:他在测试这项发明时丧生。“while + 现在分词”作时间状语,省略主语与be动词,test的动名词形式为testing,故填testing。
【67题详解】
句意:但好奇心远不止敢于冒险。more than意为“多于,不仅仅”,much的比较级为more,故填more。
【68题详解】
句意:中国科学家兼发明家张衡,对世间万物充满好奇。invent表示“发明”,此处表示“发明家”,用名词inventor,故填inventor。
【69题详解】
句意:他花费数年观测天空与大地。spend time (in) doing sth. 意为“花费时间做某事”,study的动名词形式是studying,故填studying。
【70题详解】
句意:它就像一个透过钥匙孔看世界的好奇之人,自然的钥匙孔。keyhole是可数名词单数,此处特指自然的钥匙孔,用定冠词the,故填the。
五、阅读表达(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容完成后面各项任务。
Good relationships are very important in our lives. They make us feel happy and supported. So, what are the secrets of having good relationships?
First, communication is the key. We need to talk to others openly and honestly. When we talk to our friends or family, we should listen carefully to what they say. Don’t just think about what we want to say next. For example, if your friend is telling you about a problem, give them your full attention.
Second, respect is necessary. Everyone has different ideas and feelings. We should respect others’ opinions even if we don’t agree with them. If your classmate likes a different sport from you, don’t laugh at them. Instead, try to understand why they like it.
Another secret is to be helpful. When our friends are in trouble, we should try our best to help them. If our friends forget their lunch, we can share ours with them. Small kind things we do can really change a relationship.
Finally, forgiveness (原谅) is important. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. If someone does something wrong to us, we should try to forgive them. Holding grudges (怨恨) will only make the relationship worse.
By following these secrets, we can build and keep good relationships with others. In daily life, these secrets help us get along well with classmates in school and family members at home, making our days more pleasant.
71. What does the underlined word “They” refers to (指的是)?
___________________________________________________________________________
72. How many secrets of having good relationships are mentioned (提及) in this passage?
___________________________________________________________________________
73. What should we do when communicating with friends or family?
___________________________________________________________________________
74. 请将文中划线的句子翻译为汉语。
___________________________________________________________________________
75. 请找出下列句子的同义句。
According to these secrets, we can get along well with others.
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】71. Good relationships.
72. Four/4.
73. We should listen carefully to what they say.
74. 当我们的朋友遇到困难时,我们应该尽全力帮助他们。
75. By following these secrets, we can build and keep good relationships with others.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要提出维系良好人际关系的四大秘诀:沟通、尊重、帮助他人和原谅,强调它们让生活更愉快。
【71题详解】
文中第一句:“Good relationships are very important in our lives. They make us feel happy and supported.”,这里的They指代前句的主语Good relationships(良好的人际关系)。故填Good relationships.
【72题详解】
文中依次提到:①communication(沟通);②respect(尊重);③be helpful(乐于助人);④forgiveness(原谅),共四个秘诀。故填Four/4.
【73题详解】
原文第二段明确写道:“When we talk to our friends or family, we should listen carefully to what they say.”,当我们与朋友或家人交谈时,我们应该仔细倾听他们说的话。故填We should listen carefully to what they say.
【74题详解】
分析句子可知,When our friends are in trouble翻译为“当我们的朋友遇到困难时”;we should try our best to翻译为“我们应该尽全力”;help them翻译为“帮助他们”。故填:当我们的朋友遇到困难时,我们应该尽全力帮助他们。
【75题详解】
原句“According to these secrets, we can get along well with others.”意为“遵循这些秘诀,我们能与他人相处融洽”,原文最后一段第一句:“By following these secrets, we can build and keep good relationships with others.” 与原句意思一致,均表示“遵循这些秘诀,我们能与他人相处融洽”。故填By following these secrets, we can build and keep good relationships with others.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断其后面所给句子的对错,选Right填A,选Wrong填B,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprint (指纹) science was the easiest way to solve serious crimes. It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprints. But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?
According to experts, fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?
Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t be seen by the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown.
Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint exam may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly taking medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, taking proper medicine is important.
In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
41. People didn’t discover DNA information until the 1980s.
A. Right. B. Wrong.
42. Fingerprints can show both a person’s looks and lifestyle according to the passage.

Inventions improve our lives. But not all of them. Every once in a while, a silly idea appears. Of the four real inventions below, which do you think will disappear? And which would you maybe want for your very own?
Fish on wheels
Common fish tanks (鱼缸) are just sitting there. That’s a huge problem for a pet fish that wants to see the world (or at least the next room). This invention gives fish wheels. A fish tank sits on top of a robotic car. A camera watches the fish, and the car drives in the same direction (方向) that the fish swims.
Light-up Toilet (发光马桶)
Getting up at night to the washroom can be risky. Turn on the light, and you blind yourself. Wouldn’t it be great if the toilet bowl sensed (感应) your movement and started lighting in bright colors? That’s the idea behind IllumiBowl (马桶彩灯).
The Ostrich Pillow (鸵鸟枕)
Your eyes are heavy in the study hall, but the hard desk isn’t comfortable. And the room is crowded. Too bad you don’t have a pillow. This invention fits over the whole head—with a breathing hole by the nose and mouth.
Meat Soap
Lots of people love the smell of fresh meat in a frying pan (煎锅). But do you really want to smear (涂抹) it all over your body? Meat Soap is made from animal fats. You can smell like meat without eating it! But do not try to eat it no matter how delicious it smells.
51. What makes Fish on Wheels special?
A. It can help improve our lives. B. It has the ability to move around.
C. It is a tank for keeping fish in. D. It makes fish change direction.
52. When will the toilet bowl start lighting?
A. When people get up at night. B. When people turn on the light.
C. When the camera watches people. D. When people’s movement is sensed.
53. What’s the meaning of “Your eyes are heavy”?
A. You are really sleepy. B. You are studying carefully.
C. You are too heavy to sit on the chair. D. You are angry with the crowded room.
54. What can Meat Soap bring you?
A. The feeling of animals fats. B. The taste of fresh meat.
C. The interest in cooking. D. The smell of frying meat.
55. Where is the passage probably from?
A. A dictionary. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A textbook.

In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems like everything has been reinvented and greatly improved. However, there is one thing that is different. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained (保持) unchanged until now. It is the white cane (盲杖) used by blind people. Many blind people have used this kind of white cane for a long time. However, it has seen no real improvement, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to make a difference.
Kursat is from Turkey(土耳其). He lost his eyesight at the age of 2. He well understands the difficulties and challenges that the blind face. That’s because he himself is a blind person. As a blind person, when he is at the subway station, he doesn’t know which is his exit (出口). When walking on the street, he may run into obstacles.
Kursat decided to do something to help the blind. He invented a new kind of cane called the WeWalk. This smart cane is equipped (配备) with built — in speakers and different sensors (传感器). The sensors can “see” obstacles in front of it, like a wall or a car, and then the cane will vibrate (震动) to tell the user. It can also connect to the Internet through Bluetooth. It can give the user information about the place he or she is visiting, such as the name of the store or the direction of the library. Besides, the cane can be folded, so it’s easy to carry. What’s more, the price of the WeWalk is around $500, which is relatively cheap compared with other high-tech products for the blind. This invention will bring great changes to the lives of blind people.
These days, we are talking about flying cars. But blind people are still using just a simple cane. With the WeWalk, blind people can live a more convenient life. It’s really a great invention that shows how technology can help improve people’s lives.

A. ①②③④ B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
58. Why did Kursat invent the WeWalk?
A. Because he wanted to make money. B. Because he wanted to be famous.
C. Because he wanted to help the blind like him. D. Because he liked inventing things.
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The WeWalk is very expensive. B. The WeWalk can’t be folded.

Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only ____61____ (passionate) curious.” The greatest inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.
Curiosity can ____62____ (bring) new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about ____63____ (it) nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he ____64____ (fly) a kite during a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod. This invention protects buildings from lightning.
Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious ____65____ (介词) space that he invented a “flying chair”! He lost his life while ____66____ (test) this invention. Despite the failure, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learnt from his example, and created safer ways to explore space.
But curiosity is ____67____ (much) than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and ____68____ (invent), was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? He spent years ____69____ (study) the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China’s first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.
As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, ____70____ (冠词) keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容完成后面各项任务。
Good relationships are very important in our lives. They make us feel happy and supported. So, what are the secrets of having good relationships?
First, communication is the key. We need to talk to others openly and honestly. When we talk to our friends or family, we should listen carefully to what they say. Don’t just think about what we want to say next. For example, if your friend is telling you about a problem, give them your full attention.
Second, respect is necessary. Everyone has different ideas and feelings. We should respect others’ opinions even if we don’t agree with them. If your classmate likes a different sport from you, don’t laugh at them. Instead, try to understand why they like it.
Another secret is to be helpful. When our friends are in trouble, we should try our best to help them. If our friends forget their lunch, we can share ours with them. Small kind things we do can really change a relationship.
Finally, forgiveness (原谅) is important. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. If someone does something wrong to us, we should try to forgive them. Holding grudges (怨恨) will only make the relationship worse.
By following these secrets, we can build and keep good relationships with others. In daily life, these secrets help us get along well with classmates in school and family members at home, making our days more pleasant.
