A
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like friends when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. And it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

A new English telephone service that allows listeners to learn English through recorded conversations between native English-speakers and Chinese translator opened recently in Beijing.
2857 Oriental English Telephone Service consists of 10 recorded programmes, three of which are in cooperation with the Patrick English Network, the New Oriental School, and Crazy English.
“Why are so many Chinese unable to express themselves in English fluently, even after years of English education?” said Dr. Wang Qiang with the New Oriental School. “It is because, for so long, we have been learning English as a branch of knowledge, instead of a skill, a tool .”
2857’s recorded programmes include light news, jokes and everyday conversations, which are different day to day. Learners just use an ordinary phone and dial 2-8-5-7. An automatic operator will then direct them to the programme they want. The service costs one yuan per minute. About half of the available programmes are renewed daily.
“Most programmes are accompanied by Chinese explanations of the difficult points,” said an editor of 2857. “We aim at satisfying the different needs of the audience, from beginners to advanced learners,” she said.
54. The English telephone service is available to people .
A. with advanced telephones B. in Beijing C. throughout China D. everywhere
55. Many Chinese can’t speak English fluently because .
A. they don’t have English telephnoe service B. they have no chance to practice their English
C. they regard English as part of their knowledge instead of a skill D. they don’t like English
56. This service is intended for .
A. beginners B. advanced learners C. students D. people of different English levels
57. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. You can hear jokes in English as well as in Chinese
B. You can hear different programmes every day.
C. You can have a conversation with a native English-speaker.

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health. A study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying, holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering, can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural and healthy emotional response.
58. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad. B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time. D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.
59. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
60. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep Healthy
C. Why We Cry D. A New Scientific Discovery

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote
