AWhat can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious effect on one's earning potentia（潜在性）shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers found that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work..“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you feel bad," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”.Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large number of social contacts.But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency（货币）?“Call me un coil, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义)of ‘friend',” said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don't actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life, she also wamed, "Too bad one thing money can't buy is a real friend."21. What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers?A.Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune.B. Social skills, talent, hard work and facebook.C. Social skills, networking, potential and fortune.D. Social skills, networking, talent and hard work.22. What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?A. They can help you with your schoolwork.B. They teach you how to make more money.C. They introduce their friends to you.D. They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up.23. We learn that Meghan Daum's attitude towards friends is somewhat _____.A. up-to-dateB. traditionalC. confusedD.optimistic24. What does the word "trumps" in the last paragraph mean?A. is worse thanB. is equal toC. is better thanD. issimilar toBThe food chain is the order in which animals and plants eat each other in order to survive. Every living creature(生物) needs to eat other creatures below it. Every ecosystem（生态系统）has a different food chain, depending on which animals and plants live there.The lowest part of the food chain are the plants. They are called producers because they produce their own food by using the sunlight's energy. This process is called photosynthesis(光合作用). Animals are the consumers（消费者）of the food chain.They eat other plants and animals.Some animals only eat plants.Among this group of herbivores are rabbits,mice and cows. Carnivores are animals that eat other animals,like wolves,foxes and lions.Each food chain has a predator,the strongest animal that is not eaten by others. Hawks or polar bears are such predators that dominate（支配）their habitats.Many creatures belong to more than one food chain. Grass,for example,is eaten by many other animals. Food chains that are connected to each other are called food webs.When an animal dies it is eaten up by worms,bacteria（细菌）and other organisms. These so-called decomposers break down dead animals and plants into small parts and enrich soil so that other plants can grow better. The nutrients of dead animals and plants are converted（转换）back to the soil so that plants can use them again.The balance of plants and animals within a food chain is determined by nature. For example,if there are too many zebras in an area, many of them will die because they cannot get enough food to feed on. This also means that there is less food for predators, like lions, to eat. And when there are fewer lions the zebra population will grow again.25. What does the food chain of a certain ecosystem depend on?A. Which animals and plants live there.B. Whether animals and plants eat each other.C. How many kinds of plants are living there.D. Whether a living creature needs to eat other creatures.26. Which of the following statements can be called the process of photosynthesis?A. Animals and plants eat each other in order to survive.B. Every living creature needs to eat other creatures below it.C. Plants make use of the sunlight's energy to produce their own food.D. Animals are the consumers of other plants and animals in a food chain.27. What does the underlined word “herbivores” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Animals that eat other animals.B. Animals that get on well with other animals.C. Animals that only eat plants.D. Animals that eat plants and other animals.28. Which of the following shows the right order of a food chain?A. bacteria→insects→miceB. gra ss→insects→foxesC. bacteria→grass→insectsD. grass→rabbits→lionsCWhen you are a child, the whole world is like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer when it all happened. I was a second grader, and my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, I spotted a red steel can.It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green."Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. Let’s paint." She screamed with excitement as I told her of my plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world were you thinking？I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art."Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement（水泥）.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.29. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home？A.
