阅读理解

    Three students are giving their opinions(看法) about what a good friend should be like.

Tom

    I think a good friend should be honest(诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a friend isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust.

Jack

    I think a good friend has to be generous(慷慨的). Here being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.

Jim

    In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends' place and think more for his friends.

(1)、What does the underlined (划线的) sentences mean?
A、To be honest is the most important. B、To be honest is as important as other things C、To be honest is not very important. D、Honest people get more things than others.

How to Choose books you'll love

Do you have trouble choosing a book to read? With so many choices it can be hard to decide which books are right for you. Here are some tips of choosing the ones you're more likely to enjoy. 

    ▲

Thinking about stories you've enjoyed in the past can give you clues about what genres① you prefer. Maybe you like science fiction, which transports you to completely made-up worlds. Or perhaps you like historical fiction, made-up stories based on true events. Nonfiction is another choice. Think about the topics that interest you or an interest you have and want to know more about. 

Ask forrecommendations

You can visit the library and ask a librarian to guide you to the shelves that feature the genre you'd like to dive into. Another idea is to ask friends with similar tastes what books they have liked and would recommend. You can also find a list of recommendations from the Internet. 

Search for "readalikes"

If you enjoyed a particular book, you may like others that are similar in style, known as a "readalike." You can look up a writer whose book you liked in the past, and find out whether they have written sequels③ or other books you might enjoy. If you have read through an entire series and are looking for new writers, you can checkout the website www.baidu.com and put in the name of the writer you like, the site's search engine will suggest similar writers to you. 

Take the stress off

You won't love every book you read, and that's OK! No matter how far along you are in the book you are reading, if you don't like it, it's fine to stop reading it. When you take the stress off yourself to finish a book you're not enjoying, you free yourself up to choose another book. 

① genre n. 体裁 ② recommendation n. 推荐 ③ sequel n. 续集

My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17, but the real gift was what he  taught me about life through this car. Every month, on the first day, he asked me  to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn't pay, I  couldn't drive my car〔or "his car", as he often reminded me, since he owned the title (所有权). My dad was (and still is) a successful businessman, who makes a very good living. To a 17-year-old student who only had a part-time weekend job, $150 was more  than  I  usually  made  every  month.  I  had  to  work  harder.  Although I was unhappy about my father's request, I always made sure to give him $150 on the first of each month, and did so for two years.

The day I graduated from high school, my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk. "Kevin," he gave me a white box and said, "here is your graduation present. To be honest, this is actually a present you gave yourself." I opened the box carefully, and almost started crying when I realized he just gave me $3,600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years. Every payment I gave him went straight into this box. By requiring me to pay him every month, he was teaching me how to save, how to use my money and how to be responsible (有责任心的). My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.

Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep, as my college graduation present.
