Unit 1 Friendship

Passage 1

True friendship needs care and patience. Last month, I argued 1_________ my best friend Judy. She thought I was not honest with her, and I felt she was much 2_________ (strict) than before. For several days, we avoided 3_________ (talk) with each other. I felt lonely and regretted losing such a good friend.

My teacher told me that 4 good friend is someone who can accept your mistakes and give you a chance 5_________ (change). I wrote a short note to her, telling her I 6_________ (value) our friendship most. To my surprise, she replied soon. She said she also missed our happy time and was ready 7_________ (forgive) me.

Now we know that whenever problems come, we should talk 8_________ (direct) instead of keeping silent. No friendship stays perfect 9_________ communication. If you treasure a person, you need to put effort into 10_________ (keep) the bond warm.

Passage 2

Many people believe friends must be of the same age, but my experience shows that this idea is not always true. I made friends with Mrs Lee, a 50-year-old librarian, two years ago. She is one of 1_________ (wise) people I have met.

Whenever I feel upset or have trouble 2_________ (make) decisions, I go to the library and chat with her. She never gives orders. Instead, she shares her own stories and helps me think by 3_________ (I). Compared with my classmates, she listens 4 _________(careful) and never judges me quickly.

Unit 2 School life

Passage 1

After-school clubs are an important part of our school life. Our school offers more than twenty clubs, from art, chess to science and volunteer groups. At first, I thought joining clubs was just 1_________ waste of time, because I worried it would leave me 2_________ (little) time for homework.

But my head teacher advised me 3_________ (try) one club that matched my interest. I chose the nature club. Every Wednesday afternoon, we go out 4_________ (study) local plants and take notes. We also work together 5_________ (make) posters to tell students to protect the environment.

In the club, I meet students from different grades. Some of them are much 6_________ (active) than me and they bring new ideas. Now I understand that clubs help us develop skills we cannot learn from textbooks. They also teach us how to work with others and respect 7_________ (other) opinions. Of course, we still need to plan our time 8_________ (wise). If we balance study and activities well, we will get 9_________ (much) fun and progress. Not all students need to join many clubs, but at least one can make our school life 10_________ (colour).

Passage 2

School life is different in different countries. In Britain, most schools start at about 9 a.m. and finish at 3:30 p.m., so students have 1_________ (many) free time after school than Chinese students. They do not have too much homework, and they spend lots of time 2_________ (join) sports teams or music groups.

In Japan, students clean their classrooms by 3_________ (they) every day. Teachers believe cleaning helps students learn to take responsibility. They also have longer school terms, 4_________ they have fewer holidays. In our country, we have more subjects 5_________ (learn), and we spend more time on lessons.

However, our school also adds more after-school activities these days. I think no school life is perfect. Each way has 6_________ (it) own advantages. British students may be freer, 7_________ we get a stronger foundation in knowledge. The best way is to learn good points from different school systems. We should enjoy our own school life and try 8_________ (become) better every day. We can also talk with foreign pen pals 9_________ (know) more about their schools.
