For learning English pronunciation(发音), Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same. Some words used in songs are not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics（歌词）when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful. You dont have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something that you will never forget! Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joes favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of Why I Sing the Blues, you are a very advanced student. If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you dont sing so beautifully, you will really impress(给.深刻印象) other people!( ) 33. Singing English songs can help us, EXCEPT_.

A. careful B. excellent C. kind-hearted D. lazy(C) Too many people want others to be their friends, but they dont give friendship (友谊) back. That is why some friendships dont last (持续) very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat（对待your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous；be understanding.Honesty means being honest. It is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you dont tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose your friends trust. Good friends always count on (依赖) one another to speak and act honestly.Generositymeans sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You dont have to give your friend your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy your hobbies and interests together. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable(有价值的) to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend, you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place, so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common(共同的).
