13.A friend of mine,in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life,asked me the question,"Who said life was going to be fair,or that it was even meant to be fair?"Her question was a good one.It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster:Life isn't fair.It's disappointing,but it's absolutely true.One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves,or for others,thinking that life should be fair,or that someday it will be.It's not and it won't.
One of the nice things about surrendering(屈從) to the fact that life isn't fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have.We know it's not"life's job"to make everything perfect,it's our own challenge.Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up,facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victimized or unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn't fair doesn't mean we shouldn't do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole.To the contrary,it suggests that we should.When we don't recognize or admit that life isn't fair,we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves.Pity,of course,is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone,except to make everyone feel worse than they already do.When we do recognize that life isn't fair,however,we feel compassion(熱情) for others and for ourselves.And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches.The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world,try reminding yourself of this very basic fact.You may be surprised that it can persuade you out of self-pity and into helpful action.
67.The writer thought of his friend's question as a good one becauseA.
A.like his friend,he also thought life was unfair
B.it made him recall something during his childhood
C.he also wanted to know who held such an opinion
D.he learned something from the question as a youngster
68.Surrendering to the fact that life isn't fair willB.
A.keep us from making everything perfect
B.make us know it's our duty to perfect things
C.make us face unfair treatment bravely
D.keep us from doing everything in our power
69.The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us thatC.
A.we should not surrender to the life
B.it's nice to surrender to the life
C.it's nice to accept the injustice of life
D.we should not feel sorry for everything
70.In the last paragraph,"this very basic fact"refers to the fact thatD.
A.you should not pity for others
B.pity is a self-defeating emotion
C.compassion is heartfelt emotion
D.life isn't and won't be fair.

4.When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves,many put friends ahead of homes,jobs,clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should protect.Unfortunately,the better friends you are,the more probably you'll have disagreements.And the result can be what you don't want---an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First,don't let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second,apologize when your're wrong---even if you've been wronged.Over the course of a friendship,even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes,it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.When you apologize,give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong also.Third,see things from your friend's point of view.And finally,accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:consider friendship an honour and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
36.What is likely to happen if you have disagreements with your friends?A
A.An end to the friendships.B.Getting experience for the later life.
C.Quarrelling with each other.D.Sitting down and have a talk.

3.How to make a Budget
Most likely,you aren't the family breadwinner.But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket.For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend.If you aren't careful,it can be gone in no time.
Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil and some self-control.
First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns,list your sources of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
Sample Monthly Budget
Monthly incomeAmountMonthly ExpensesAmount
Allowance 20.00Snacks 26.00
Money earned
selling drinks
 25.00Music downloads 12.00
Money earned
babysitting
 12.50Movies 18.00
Money earned
delivering newspapers
 30.00Video Rentals 10.00
Total: 87.50Total: 66.00
The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total.If it is,you have an effective budget.
Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop 18at a movie,don't write 12in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a 150skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!
13.The purpose of making a budget is to help peopleB.
A.learn to be realistic              
B.manage their money well
C.increase their savings            
D.test their power of self-control
14.What should people do when planning a budget?A
A.Fill in the expenses as they really are.
B.Avoid spending money on expensive things.
C.Set aside a fixed amount of money as savings.
D.List income and expenses on two pieces of paper.
15.Who is the passage written for?D
