译林版:必修一 Unit 3 Getting along with others
Of friendship
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, when we seek to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always escape into our own world. Social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. 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—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. 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. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first.This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough 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.Friends may have many different ideas and skills. They can help us achieve what we want during life and, perhaps, even after death.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. 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.

Passage B
When Sarah first moved to a new city for university, she felt completely alone. She had left her friends and family behind, and her shy nature made it hard to meet new people. Her only companion was her laptop.
One evening, feeling particularly lonely, she came across a live stream of a virtual concert. A small band was playing indie folk music, and the chat room was filled with people from around the world. Tentatively, Sarah typed a message: “This song is beautiful.” To her surprise, the singer read her comment aloud and thanked her.
That moment changed everything. Sarah began attending the band’s weekly live streams. She became a regular in the chat, making friends with other listeners. They created a fan community where they shared not only their love for the music but also their personal stories. For the first time since moving, Sarah felt like she belonged.
Months later, the band announced a live show in Sarah’s city. When she finally met her online friends in person, it felt like reuniting with old friends. Sarah realized that the Internet, which she had once seen as a substitute for real connection, had actually helped her find her community. Music and technology together had bridged the gap between loneliness and belonging.

Passage C
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. But there are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town,or changed our schools or jobs. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 27 But for many of us, the process (过程) is difficult. There are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
Associate with others.
The first step to make friends is associating with people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
Start a conversation.
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 28 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating (关联的) with other people.
29
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.
Let it grow.
It is a good thing to stay in touch (保持联系). However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely make him or her tired and finally you may lose your friend. 30 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
Enjoy your friendship.
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 31 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be.
A.Be happy.
B.Do things together.
C.Don’t wait to be spoken to.
D.Try not to find mistake with your friend.
E.Making new friends comes easy for some people.
F.For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.
G.So you will need to give your friend time to react to (反应) you.

Of friendship
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, when we seek to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always escape into our own world. Social life is also important to us. More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. 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—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. 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. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first.This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough 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.Friends may have many different ideas and skills. They can help us achieve what we want during life and, perhaps, even after death.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. 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.

Walking the "Path of Life" with Friendship
Introduction
While solitude brings personal improvement, social life is equally important. Close friendships help smooth out the rocky road we are all meant to travel.

· Better understanding and judgement through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends
· Friends help us recognize our own weaknesses and offer advice on important decisions

Passage B
When Sarah first moved to a new city for university, she felt completely alone. She had left her friends and family behind, and her shy nature made it hard to meet new people. Her only companion was her laptop.
One evening, feeling particularly lonely, she came across a live stream of a virtual concert. A small band was playing indie folk music, and the chat room was filled with people from around the world. Tentatively, Sarah typed a message: “This song is beautiful.” To her surprise, the singer read her comment aloud and thanked her.
That moment changed everything. Sarah began attending the band’s weekly live streams. She became a regular in the chat, making friends with other listeners. They created a fan community where they shared not only their love for the music but also their personal stories. For the first time since moving, Sarah felt like she belonged.
Months later, the band announced a live show in Sarah’s city. When she finally met her online friends in person, it felt like reuniting with old friends. Sarah realized that the Internet, which she had once seen as a substitute for real connection, had actually helped her find her community. Music and technology together had bridged the gap between loneliness and belonging.
23.How did Sarah feel after moving to a new city?
A.Excited and hopeful. B.Lonely and isolated.
C.Busy and productive. D.Angry and frustrated.

【详解】23.细节理解题。根据第一段“When Sarah first moved to a new city for university, she felt completely alone. She had left her friends and family behind, and her shy nature made it hard to meet new people.(当Sarah第一次为了上大学而搬到一个新的城市时,她感到完全孤立无援。她离开了自己的朋友和家人,而且她性格内向,这使得她很难结识新朋友)”可知,Sarah搬到新的城市后感到孤独和孤立。故选B。

25.细节理解题。根据第三段“She became a regular in the chat, making friends with other listeners.(她成为聊天室的常客,与其他听众交朋友)”以及“For the first time since moving, Sarah felt like she belonged.(自从搬家以来,Sarah第一次感到自己有了归属感)”可知,Sarah从粉丝社群中获得了友谊和归属感。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sarah realized that the Internet, which she had once seen as a substitute for real connection, had actually helped her find her community. Music and technology together had bridged the gap between loneliness and belonging.(Sarah意识到,她曾视为现实社交替代品的互联网,实际上帮助她找到了自己的社群。音乐和科技共同架起了从孤独到归属的桥梁)”可推知,文章传达的核心信息是科技能够帮助人们建立真实的联结。故选B。
Passage C
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. But there are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town,or changed our schools or jobs. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 27 But for many of us, the process (过程) is difficult. There are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
Associate with others.
The first step to make friends is associating with people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
Start a conversation.
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 28 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating (关联的) with other people.
29
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.
Let it grow.
It is a good thing to stay in touch (保持联系). However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely make him or her tired and finally you may lose your friend. 30 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
Enjoy your friendship.
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 31 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be.
A.Be happy.
B.Do things together.
C.Don’t wait to be spoken to.
D.Try not to find mistake with your friend.
E.Making new friends comes easy for some people.
F.For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.
G.So you will need to give your friend time to react to (反应) you.
【答案】27.E 28.C 29.B 30.G 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了如何交朋友,并就维持友谊给出了几点建议。
【详解】27.根据上文“ But there are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our schools or jobs. Such changes often leave us without a friend.(但是在我们的生活中也有这样的时候,比如我们最近搬到了一个新的城镇,或者换了学校或工作。这样的变化常常使我们失去朋友)”可知,有时生活中的变化会使我们失去朋友。空格处应该描述失去朋友后应该再交朋友的情况,结合下文“But for many of us, the process (过程) is difficult. There are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.(但对我们很多人来说,这个过程是困难的。这里有一些关于如何交朋友和维持友谊的有用建议。)”可知,空格处需要解释“这个过程”是什么,且结合But可知空格处叙述内容与“困难的”相反,E选项“对有些人来说,结交新朋友很容易”符合题意。故选E。
28.根据上文“Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.(开始交谈是结交新朋友的第二重要步骤)”提到启动对话是交朋友的第二重要步骤,结合下文“You can always start the conversation.(你可以随时开始谈话)”可知,不要等着别人和你说话,你要主动和别人说话。选项C“不要等着别人跟你说话。”正好符合交友时要主动的态度。故选C。
29.空格处是本段的小标题,根据下文“Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests always bring you and your friend together(选择有共同兴趣的朋友对于建立友谊很重要,因为这些兴趣总是把你和你的朋友联系在一起)”可知,此段强调与兴趣相同的人交友,选项B“一起做事情”符合题意,强调和你的朋友一起做事能有效帮助增进彼此的关系。故选B。
30.根据上文“It is a good thing to stay in touch (保持联系). However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.(保持联系是件好事。然而,尽量不要给你的新朋友打电话、发信息或拜访,因为这可能会让他或她精疲力竭,最终你可能会失去你的朋友)”和下文“The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.(最好的友谊是自然成长的)”可知,本段强调不应该过于逼迫新朋友,应该给他们时间适应,你们的关系会自然发展,选项G“所以你需要给你的朋友时间来回应你”与前后文吻合,要慢慢地来不要急,要给朋友考虑的时间。故选G。
31.结合小标题“Enjoy your friendship(享受你的友谊)”和下文“Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be(试着不要改变他们,让他们变成你想要的样子)”可知,本段描述的是欣赏朋友原本的样子,不改变他们。选项D“尽量不要挑朋友的毛病”正是享受友谊的一种体现,可以引出下文不要试图改变朋友。故选D。
