- Passage 1 -
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk， laugh and do things with. Surely， there is some time when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
Everyone is different. Sometimes friends do not get along well. It doesn’t mean they no longer （不再） like each other. Most of the time， they will go on being friends. When friends move away， we feel sad. We can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising （惊讶的） to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. There’s good news for people if they have friends—these people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why？ Because they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you， you will take better care of yourself.

- Passage 2 -
Many people make their children do chores around the house. For some families， teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families， getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.
It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age that all the family members must work together to make the house clean， and each person must do his or her share （份） of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities when children are young. Chores are good for children—even very young ones. Doing chores teaches children many important skills （技能） such as working together and being responsible. Jobs also teach children what is fair and how to do things for others. The skills and values （价值） from doing chores will do good to children all their lives.

- Passage 1 -
Twenty years ago， my family made me an ant farm. First， we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm， they started to make tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day， a tragedy happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake， one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed， I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world， but it taught me much more.
I’m twenty-five years old now， and I come to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together， the ants are able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learn that they should be admired for their hard work. But there is an even larger lesson that I do not realize until recently： adversity （逆境） is a natural part of life， and must be accepted. Unlike the ants， we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone， we must build another. Giving up， I say， is not a good choice.

A. working alone
B. working together
C. working silently
D. working hard
（ ）4. What does the writer come to realize a few years later？
A. Working together is useless. B. Teamwork is important.

- Passage 2 -
Rome was not built in a day. And neither was Jeremy Lin’s story of success.
The 23-year-old is the first Asian-American NBA player since the 1940s—his parents are from Taiwan. Two weeks ago， Lin was still sitting on the bench after two teams fired （解雇） him one after another. He lived with his brother in a small apartment， worrying that the New York Knicks would cut him， too.
But suddenly， the once-nameless young man became a basketball hero. As of February 16， he has led his team to seven straight victories （连胜）， including a win over the Los Angeles Lakers in which he scored 38 points， and Kobe Bryant scored 34. In the game against the Toronto Raptors， he made a 3-pointer in the final half-second.
He’s scored 166 points in seven games， including 109 in his first four starts—that’s more than any player ever.
Kobe Bryant was impressed after playing with Lin， though he knew very little about the Knicks’ star before that.
“Players don’t usually come out of nowhere，” Bryant said. “If you can go back and take a look， his skill level was probably there from the beginning. But no one ever noticed. I am sure he has put in a great deal of work to always have that belief in himself. Now， he has the opportunity to show it.”
Lin himself also said that， “There is more opportunity with the Knicks.” The Knicks have been in need of a good point guard （组织后卫）， and Lin is “a perfect fit”.
How long will Lin’s story last？ Nobody knows. But， just like the USA Today article says， for anyone who has ever had a dream， this is a great story.
（ ）1. Jeremy Lin lives in _______ now.
A. Taiwan B. New York
C. Toronto D. Los Angeles
（ ）2. The New York Knicks is _______ team for Lin to play for.
A. the first B. the second C. the third D. the fourth
（ ）3. Which basketball team is Kobe Bryant on？
A. The New York Knicks.
B. The Toronto Raptors.
C. The Los Angeles Lakers.
D. The Orlando Magic.
（ ）4. It’s clear that _______.
A. Lin has a good coach
B. Lin’s brother is a player too
C. Lin has been on his way
D. Lin scored 166 points in four starts
（ ）5. We can learn from Lin that _______.
A. students must play basketball well
B. people should hold dreams
C. much work leads to success
