    Last summer， Mark became a middle school student．He took an English test in the first month． Mark was a good student and he worked hard．He finished the questions easily until he read the last one：“Everyone sees our school's gatekeeper every day．What's his first name?”

    Of course，this question is a little special．Mark saw the man some times．He was tall and had a square face．But Mark didn't talk with him and didn't know his first name．The test was over．Then one student asked the teacher，“Is the last question very important in this test?”，“Yes，”said the teacher．“In our life，we will meet many people．Everyone is important．You should care about them．You may only smile at them or say 'hello' to them．”

    Mark never forgot that question．He also learned that man's first name．It was William．

    True friends are rare to make these days. Even if you believe you've connected with someone, how do you really know he is a true friend? And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may disappoint you. There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.

    A true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. Through good times and bad times, they will stand by you. They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you, and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.

    Trust is another important aspect. A true friend will keep your secrets. You can depend on them. They will listen and be someone you know you can talk things over with, even if they may not have advice to share with you.

    Friendship is a two-way street. To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well. Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them. Be someone your friends can depend on and offer them the same things they give to you. A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort in. To keep a true friendship, you must be honest.

    There will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship. If it can survive those barriers, it will be stronger and last forever. St Thomas Aquinas said, “There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship” and it holds true.

    A good book can help you learn more things than you can learn in class. If you want to get into a good reading habit, here are a few ways.

    Plan your time

    You should give yourself at least thirty minutes for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it.

    Always carry a book

    Wherever you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure that you always carry a good book as well as your school things.

    Find a quiet place

    Find a place in your home where you can read a book quietly and no one will trouble you. There should be no television, computer, music or even noisy family members around you.

    In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

    Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. Part of the problem is the new "out of town" shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. So, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

    Critics (批评家) think that Britain needs cheaper public transport. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about £100, for example. A 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1. 00.

    Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
