I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.

    1). Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.

    2). Special-interest friends. These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.

    3). Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.

    The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.

    4). Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.

    Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

    Every year, thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Old people often get hurt or die because they can't see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents (事故)because of their carelessness. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents? Everybody should follow the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn't drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. So, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements(人行道). {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

A.It's not safe to run.

B.They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

C.We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road.

D.Most of these people are old people and children.

E.For the walkers, it's very important to be careful when they are walking on the road.

    Have you ever tried to hide your emotions (情感)from someone during a conversation? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.

    Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶)creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red- green color around the nose and forehead.

    “We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(触发) by the central nervous(神经) system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other's emotions?

    To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the timewithout any difficulty.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.
