I wanted to have tea with Nerada in a tea break during a retreat (静养).
I was holding the cup so he could sip (小口喝) tea. I was careful and
poured a small quantity in his mouth. I enjoyed concentrating on each
moment and listening deeply to do a good job with serving tea.
We were immediately connected and befriended each other during this
time. Two other retreat participants joined and then there were four people
talking about varieties of topics which ranged from how Nerada progressed in
his education to cool ones like how he maintains his weight, etc. These
conversations brought smiles and it seemed that we all knew each other from
long time ago. In subtle ways, we quietly felt the connection.
When we finished tea, I felt like tying a wristband for Nerada. The
wristband had the letters that read “WE” on one side and “ME” on the other if
read upside down. I told Nerada that my youngest brother is about his age,
and he gave me a sweet, calm smile.
I felt deep content during this teatime. I had actually lived those
moments, being sympathetic and friendly. It was an experience of joy.
Later, during the retreat, each time Nerada and I happened to greet or
talk, we smiled naturally and felt connected.
It’s sad that we don’t connect deeply, even with our family or friends.
We are just too busy running after things, going nowhere. We don’t seem
to concentrate or care enough for people during our conversations. I had
these valuable realizations later.
On the last day of the retreat, I told Nerada, “This was the best
teatime I ever had in my life.” He gave me a warm, unforgettable smile.

Doctors say anger can be a very harmful emotion unless you learn how to
deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease,
stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people
express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger,
losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They
cannot or will not express it.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more
dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a
person is angry, the brain gives off the same hormones (荷尔蒙) that
are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise
blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels (血
管) to the interstices (空隙). In general, the person feels excited and
ready to act.
Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings
continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a
person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it
freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that peoplewho express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more
and not less angry.
They said this, too, can cause medical problems.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be
dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be
more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep
their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the
first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the
anger, and then decide if the cause is serious. If it is, they say, “Do
not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down
and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
8. What does the phrase “repressing anger” in Paragraph 3 probably
mean?
A. Forgetting ones anger.
B. Keeping ones anger inside.
C. Expressing ones anger openly.
D. Treating ones anger calmly and reasonably.
9. Why is repressing anger considered to be dangerous?
a. Some blood vessels become thinner.
b. The blood contains sugar.
c. The blood pressure rises.
d. The heart rate increases.
A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. a, c, d D. b, c, d
10. What should you do for the good of health when you get angry?
A. Learn how to make a deal.
B. Treat the anger properly.
C. Express the anger freely.
D. Repress the anger.
11. What does this text mainly about?
A. An argument between the new and old views about anger.
B. Some different ways of dealing with anger.
C. The dangers of anger and the solution.
D. A new medical discoveries about anger.
DWhat’s your opinion about finding good friends? Speaking from my past
experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but
once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore,
I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.
The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor and
sensitivity 体贴). A friend would have to be strong-minded and highly
spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good
friend.
Even the best friends can still have arguments between themselves,
though usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual childish
arguments. Some matters can seriously affect friendship. If one of your
friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what
would you do? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, while
a bad example of a friend would simply shrug (耸肩) and turn a blind eye.
Not only the bad things affect friendship—good activities do too, such
as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them,
but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other. This is a
key aspect of a good friendship.
Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I
have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.
Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow
older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.
I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you
have no friends, you will have no happiness.
12. What does the author think of true friendship?
A. It is easy to get.
B. It deepens with time.
C. It needs management.
D. It affects ones happiness.
13. What does Paragraph 3 suggest?
A. A friend should be reliable.
B. Drugs are bad for teenagers.
C. Real friends shouldn’t be childish.
D. True friendship doesn’t avoid arguments.
14. Which matters least in friendship according to the author?
A. Age. B. Confidence.C. Sense of humor. D. Communication.
15. Which saying can match the authors view on friendship?
A. Old friends and old wines are best.
B. A friend without faults will never be found.
C. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.
D. A life without a friend is a life without sunshine.

The Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. 1
The arrangements they have to make for family reunions, buying
necessities and preparing food keep them busy throughout the holiday. With
the country’s economic development and globalization, as it is celebrated
today, the Spring Festival has undergone many changes.
2 People could not get good food they desired in earlier times, but
decades of economic growth has ensured that most people in China can
enjoy good meals whenever they want to.
In the past, the Spring Festival celebrations were limited to events,
such as songs and dances, dragon or lion dances or fireworks. 3 But
economic development and urbanization (城市化) seem to have
weakened the social links among people.
4 In the past, people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and
lots of good wishes. Today, many people use their cellphones or the
Internet to send their good wishes and even “gifts”. Some may say this is a
sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones,
but we should see this development as a time-and-energy-saving exercise
brought by the information age.
Also we can see, some people have started praying to God or the
Buddha for a career promotion (晋升) or more chances instead of for a
long life or a fortune of their family. However, the number of such people is
decreasing (减少) now. 5
A. They require joint efforts of people.
B. Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food.
C. But things like that do not apply to society today.
D. Many of them travel back home and meet friends.
E. Many Spring Festival customs have changed, too.
F. That shows people are becoming more reasonable.G. It is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
