Every culture has its own ways to show friendship. On the island of Hawaii， friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”. In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago， aloha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”. Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land， they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second most important thing of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language， which means “oneness with all people”. To enjoy the land， you should not be selfish. The land is for everyone who lives on. Today many different people call Hawaii their home. Indeed， Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities. Each person gives kokua （help） to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise （天堂） when people live in peace. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen， people are asked to solve them with understanding. So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana （family）， they are really talking about all those who live on the island.
Living in peace， Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship. This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another. The lei， a string of flowers， is put over a friend’s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek. Visitors to the islands are also given leis. When they hear aloha， visitors began to feel at home. Aloha also means “goodbye”， so visitors will hear it again when they leave. It can mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.
4. Which of the following can be the proper title for this text？
A. People in Hawaii. B. Visitors to Hawaii.
C. Traveling in Hawaii. D. Friendship in Hawaii.
5. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the first paragraph？
A. Happiness matters most for Hawaiians.
B. Friendship is always together with happiness.
C. Friendship is every thing in Hawaiian culture.
D. Friendship has special meanings for Hawaiians.

A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love me， love my dog. C. A penny saved is a penny gained. D. An apple a day keeps a doctor away.
7. Which of the following is a sign to show friendship by Hawaiians？
A. A string of flowers. B. A kiss on the cheek.
C. A sincere hug. D. A warm handshake.

My daughter graduated from college this year. I couldn’t be more proud of her. Through countless hours of study， books read， papers written， and tests taken， her hard work has paid off. She is no longer a little girl. She has become a wise， giving， caring， and loving adult. She has learned so much and is ready to start the rest of her life.
I think the things I take most pride in her learning aren’t the ones she learned in the classroom. They are the ones she learned through living her life. My daughter already knows things that it took me much longer to learn. She knows that money can’t buy happiness. She knows that laughter exercises the lungs and love opens up the heart. She knows that doing what you love and loving what you do turns work into play. She knows that children are life’s most precious gift and that every child should be treated with kindness and love.
My daughter knows that life often isn’t fair， that society often isn’t wise， and that everyone of us will face our share of problems. She also knows， however， that with love in our hearts we can bring learning， laughter， and joy to even the toughest days. She knows that life is a journey taken on a rocky road and that sometimes we stumble. She knows that we can pick ourselves up each time and even help someone else up as well. Most of all she knows that she is still learning， just as we all are. May she always know too just how much I love her.
8. How did the author feel when her daughter graduated from college？
A. Satisfied. B. Calm. C. Grateful. D. Concerned.
9. We can infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2 that ____. A. you should love work as well as play

C. your work will become interesting if you love it
D. what you love and what you do are totally different

A. her mother is well-educated B. her mother loves her very much
C. she is cleverer than her mother D. she has to keep learning all her life

Paper-cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts. Archaeological （考古學的） findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck， people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuts are not produced by machine， but by hand. They are done all over China， but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors of knives. As the name suggests， scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper （up to eight pieces） are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern， the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past， paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees， peach flowers， mice， fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper-cutting artists are， on the other hand， almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.
12. How long has paper-cutting lasted at least？
A. About 600 years. B. About 1，500 years. C. About 2，000 years. D. About 2，700 years.
13. People put up paper cuts on the windows in order to ____.
A. make them look more beautiful B. show others their excellent skills
C. bring them good luck in the new year D. sell them on the Eve of the Spring Festival
14. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us？
A. The process of making paper cuts. B. Paper cuts are made by hand.
C. Paper cuts are made by machine. D. Two kinds of paper cuts.
15. Paper cuts are usually about ____.
A. things in our daily life B. family members of the artists
C. sports and social activities D. fights between animals

There are times when people come into your life， and you know at once that they are sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose， teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be： your classmate， neighbor， teacher， long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But _1_， you know that at that very moment they will affect your life in some serious way.
_2_. However， on reflection you realize that without getting over them you would have never realized your potential ability and strength.
Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck. _3_. Without these small tests， life would be like a smooth road to nowhere. The people affecting your life， and the successes and failures you experience， help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact， they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you， forgive them， _4_.
_5_， for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before， and really listen. You should set your sights high， hold your head up， tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Most importantly， if you love someone， tell him or her， for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
A. when you look eyes into them
B. because you are likely to get addicted to them
C. Don’t forget to embrace those unpleasant moments
D. Make every day count and appreciate every moment

Every culture has its own ways to show friendship. On the island of Hawaii， friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”. In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago， aloha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”. Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land， they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second most important thing of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language， which means “oneness with all people”. To enjoy the land， you should not be selfish. The land is for everyone who lives on. Today many different people call Hawaii their home. Indeed， Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities. Each person gives kokua （help） to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise （天堂） when people live in peace. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen， people are asked to solve them with understanding. So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana （family）， they are really talking about all those who live on the island.
Living in peace， Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship. This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another. The lei， a string of flowers， is put over a friend’s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek. Visitors to the islands are also given leis. When they hear aloha， visitors began to feel at home. Aloha also means “goodbye”， so visitors will hear it again when they leave. It can mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.

My daughter graduated from college this year. I couldn’t be more proud of her. Through countless hours of study， books read， papers written， and tests taken， her hard work has paid off. She is no longer a little girl. She has become a wise， giving， caring， and loving adult. She has learned so much and is ready to start the rest of her life.
I think the things I take most pride in her learning aren’t the ones she learned in the classroom. They are the ones she learned through living her life. My daughter already knows things that it took me much longer to learn. She knows that money can’t buy happiness. She knows that laughter exercises the lungs and love opens up the heart. She knows that doing what you love and loving what you do turns work into play. She knows that children are life’s most precious gift and that every child should be treated with kindness and love.
My daughter knows that life often isn’t fair， that society often isn’t wise， and that everyone of us will face our share of problems. She also knows， however， that with love in our hearts we can bring learning， laughter， and joy to even the toughest days. She knows that life is a journey taken on a rocky road and that sometimes we stumble. She knows that we can pick ourselves up each time and even help someone else up as well. Most of all she knows that she is still learning， just as we all are. May she always know too just how much I love her.

Paper-cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts. Archaeological （考古學的） findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck， people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuts are not produced by machine， but by hand. They are done all over China， but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors of knives. As the name suggests， scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper （up to eight pieces） are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern， the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past， paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees， peach flowers， mice， fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper-cutting artists are， on the other hand， almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.
12. How long has paper-cutting lasted at least？
A. About 600 years. B. About 1，500 years. C. About 2，000 years. D. About 2，700 years.

A. make them look more beautiful B. show others their excellent skills
C. bring them good luck in the new year D. sell them on the Eve of the Spring Festival

A. The process of making paper cuts. B. Paper cuts are made by hand.
