From good reading we can derive companionship, experience and instruction. A good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy, and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely. Books can also offer us a wide range of experience. Few of us can travel far firom home or live long over 100, but all of us can live many lives through the pages of books. What's more, reading books can increase our intellectual ability, broaden our minds and make us wise.With the coming of TV, books are no longer read as widely as they once were. However, nothing can replace the role that books play in our lives.

Many a confidence is shared between two ‘good’ friends, and once that confidence has been violated, then expect the friendship to be broken. It is difficult, and at times impossible to restore a friendship, and most of the time, it will never be the same. But if you work on trying to get along and fix things it may turn out to be a better situation. Here are some tips. [l]First, take the initiative. [2]Be open about wanting to fix your friendship. Friends should not play mind games with each other. If you truly love this person and want them to stay your friend, be open about your feelings towards them. Say you are sorry. [3]You have to mean it however, the person will be able to tell if you’re being sincere or not. It’s the best word to use to explain your feelings. Leave it as a message on their answering machine if they have not answered your phone calls.[4]Even if you consider yourself a victim in the fight, it’s important to apologize. It’s likely that your friend feels the same way, and hearing you say sorrywill help let them know it’s not going to hurt their pride if they apologize to you. Second, create an open discussion. When possible, and if the other friend agrees, try to sit down for coffee or something with them and talk things out. [5]Wait at least three days to do this because the person will probably still be upset if earlier. It really depends though on how intense the fight was. When your friend speaks, listen. Be sincere in the things you have to say. Your friend will know if you are being insincere. Speak quietly and from the heart. [6]Allow them to feel the pain that you feel, and the loneliness you have endured since the break-up of the friendship. [7]Crack a joke. Friends love jokes. Life’s not a whole lot without your good friend there. When the tension starts to ease, and you get details out of the way, lighten the mood. Be careful though. Do not make a joke referring to the fight ever. This can be seen as offensive and as if you did not take the person seriously. [8]Third, step into their shoes. Try to sit back and see another perspective besides your own. [9]This is a situation where one needs to think critically. It’s not simple to try to understand other people. Think about recent events that have gone on in your friend’s life. Try to understand the reason that your relationship got to such a heated level. [10]Part of gaining understanding of another person’s perspective may involve speaking to mutual friends or family members of that person. Be careful though, because a mutual friend can be dangerous to talk to. They may be trying to manipulate the situation for their own benefit, or things that you say may inadvertently get twisted when they get back to the friend you’re fighting with. After you fix your friendship, be more caring towards your friend and don’t fight over the same thing again. Friendship could not be bought; it is something that gives you happiness and pain, so fight for it!Fix a Broken Friendship1.

大学生英语四级听力VOA强化训练
大学生英语四级听力VOA强化训练Old sin makes new shame.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的大学生英语四级听力VOA强化训练，希望能给大家带来帮助!From VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.There is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."Well, that is not true.Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, ages 18 to 25. These young men and women had no experience with domestic violence, sexual abuse or physical abuse by their parents.The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the individuals who reported suffering verbal abuse from their peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain.The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the areathat was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period had the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of individuals had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.We cannot control what other people say to our children. But we can prepare them. A website called suggests 64 things that all children need to hear.Here, are our top 20.I am curious what you think.You are creative.I believe in you.You can ask for help.You make me smileI have faith in you.You are imperfect. So am I.You are a good friend.I will do my best to keep you safe.Trust your instincts.My world is better with you in it.I love you.It's fun to do things with you.You are valuable.Your choices matter.You can change your mind.You make a difference.I'm ready to listen.You can learn from your mistakes.I'm proud of you.Share one or more of these statements with a child in your life. Actually, maybe we all need to hear some of these statements.Choose another and say it to an adult you care about.I'm Anna Matteo.Anna Matteo wrote this for VOA Learning English. George Grow was the editor.________________________________________________________________ Words in This Storypeer – n. a person who belongs to the same age group or social group as someone elsecurious – adj. having a desire to learn or know more about something or someonecreative –adj. having or showing an ability to make new things or think of new ideasfaith – n. strong belief or trust in someone or somethinginstinct –n. something you know without learning it or thinking about it : a natural abilityvaluable – adj. very useful or helpfulproud –adj. having a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction especially with a person's own achievements or with someone else's achievements。

Happy Fourth of July
Most people are probably aware of the significance of July 4 to Americans. They might not know, however, about the origins of some of the traditions/ associated with Independence Day in the United States. / July 4 is, of course, a holiday from work, / and the occasion for all-day picnics in most communities. / Having eaten their fill of hot dogs, burgers, and potato salad, / everyone eagerly throws themselves into a program of often strange activities / like three-legged races and pie-eating contests. / A visitor to Boston, / a city strongly associated with the events leading up to independence, / will certainly come away with a lasting impression of the Fourth of July. / The highlight of the day’s celebrations is a local orchestra playing a melody/ as one hundred and fifty thousand spectators watch fireworks burst over the harbor.
