B The American ship to Yokohama left the evening before. Phileas Fogg was going to catch it. He found a small boat. But the owner John thought it was impossible for his boat to go to Yokohama. Phileas Fogg gave him a lot of money. In the end, John agreed to try. An hour later, they were on their way in the small boat. Travelling 800 miles on a small boat was a dangerous thing to do. It was even more dangerous at the time of the year because the wind was stronger than usual. The boat was going as fast as it could. Then, a storm was coming from the south. John took action right away. He asked the people to close every door and window to stop the water from getting into the boat. All that day, large waves and strong wind pushed the boat. Towards evening, the wind changed direction and blew across the boat. The waves hit the boat from the side and this was very dangerous. As night came, the storm grew stronger. It was an awful night. Sometimes, the waves came right over the boat. When daylight came, the storm was almost over, and the day was quite calm: It was the eleventh of November, and they were about one hundred miles from Shanghai. Phileas Fogg had to be in Shanghai that evening to catch the ship to Yokohama. They worked as hard as possible, but the little boat could not make it in time. As they came into the harbour (港湾) in Shanghai, they saw the American ship leaving. (Taken from Around the World in Eighty Days) 30. Why did John agree to take Phileas Fogg on his boat? A.

What might Phileas Fogg say at the end of the story? A. What a surprise! B. How strange! C. What a pity! D. How exciting! C ①Friends are very important in our lives. If you’re a quiet and shy person and want to know how to make friends, here’s some advice for you. ②Start with small things. If you are alone for years and have a feeling of loneliness, don’t be afraid of making friends with others. Always start with small steps. Begin communicating with one or two people to get comfortable in socializing. That way your life won’t be too busy and you’ll learn something about communication. ③Get along with people who has similar interests with you. If you communicate with a few people first, get to know them and try to find your common interests. For example, if both of you like soccer or basketball, then sports can be a good topic between you and your friend. ④Remember quality (质量) over quantity (数量). Remember, it’s always about having two or three good friendships instead of having ten unstable (不稳定) relationships. The more we care about quantity, the more tiring our lives will be. Try to make friends with those who help you in trouble. ⑤Keep the positives (积极心态) in your heart and never compare. Even if you can’t find your true friend in few months or years, you should keep on. Always keep your experiences in the past to continue building your friendships. Also, never forget that every person is special in his/her ways. So, don’t compare one friend of yours with another. Find out their differences and show your full respect. ⑥If you follow the advice above, you are sure to make your true friends. 34. This passage is written mainly for ________. A. everyone B. a teacher C. a quiet person D. a special person 35. How many pieces of advice can we get from this passage? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 36.
