I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned lifes lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people.

Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegies advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:Be friendly and polite.Always greet with a smile. Begin with “Excuse me” or “Would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.Go out of your way to be nice.Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.Remember names.They say that the sweetest music to a persons ears is the sound of his or her own name.Be open-minded.Try to understand other peoples ways and ideas and learn something from them.Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.（1）What does the underlined sentence “No one can live a completely lonely life.” mean? A . No one can live a hard life.B . No one can live without difficulty.C . No one can live alone.D . No one can live on an island.（2）Why do some of us find it not easy to make friends? A . Because we are afraid of making bad friends.B . Because we are shy to take the first action.C . Because we feel sure that we already have enough friends.D .

Friends are always friends.C . Few people bought Carnegies book.D . The writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie.（4）What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A . How to Make Friends.B . A Famous book about friendship.C . Friendship is the first.D . Something about John Donne and Dale Carnegie.10. （8分）阅读理解Many people say that they are working too many hours. They dont have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make some money. However, many companies dont pay overtime. Their workers dont get more pay(钱) for more work. Some people think its their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they dont work more hours.Many people say that their holidays are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid holiday(带薪假期) a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the US, two weeks. One study shows(表明) fewer than half of workers used all their holiday days. In the UK, there is a saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy.

Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little. Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up. But learning what you can and cant change about your body is part of growing up, too. It can be hard to do. But when people accept the way they look, they often feel happier.Some children worry that theyre not growing and developing as fast as their friends. Its important to know that puberty(青春期) doesnt happen at the same time for every child. And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner! Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better. Why? Because they will help you feel energetic (精力充沛的) and keep your body working just the way it should be. Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun, but they dont do much for your body because you sit when you do them. But when you move your bodyby playing, dancing, taking part in sports, or even cleaning your roomyou exercise your muscles(肌肉). When you exercise the muscle, it gets stronger. And when you have strong muscles, you can do whatever you want to do!（1）When do people often feel happier about their bodies according to the passage? （2）What do some children worry about in the third paragraph? （3）Why do not watching TV and playing computers do much for your body? （4）How does your muscle become when you exercise it?
