Do you have true friends?Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”.

The first kind of friend is simply acquaintances(熟人), and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don't miss them when they're not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don't tell them. That's why they are called “pest friends”.

The second kind could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family; you usually have a few things

in common, but you don't talk about things such as your wishes or fears(恐惧), and they don't open up to you how they really feel.

“Best friend” is the one you know the deepest. You're like family, and know everything about each other. You feel free to stay at each other's houses, and you share your feelings. They will correct you when you're wrong, sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose(故意的)to hurt you.

We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.

23. If you and David are neighbors and classmates, and you know something about each other but don't share your feelings, what kind of friends are you?

A.pest friends B.guest friends C.best friends D.not friends 24.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.How to make a best friend. B.How to learn from your best friends.

C.What a “best friend” is. D.What a best friend can do for you.

25. What can we learn from the passage?

A.Pest friends are more important than guest friends. B.We miss our best friends when we're not with them.

C.A best friend hardly do anything bad to hurt you. D.A “pest friend” will never become your best friend. 26.Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?

D

If you have some free time, will you watch an enjoyable short' video or read an interesting story? If you can only choose one from the two, what should you do?

The video may be your better choice (选择). We are now living in a modern world. With the development of science and technology, almost everything in our life becomes smart. These years, watching videos online is becoming more and more popular. You can see many people watching short videos on the bus or the subway in order to relax after a day's work. However, the number of people reading words is getting smaller. Some people are afraid that videos will one day take the place of(代替)words. But will it really happen?.

Videos can in fact help us get new information more quickly. But can they help us learn about the ancient(古老的) world very well? Many stories in history are in words. We can truly learn about what people did many years ago through reading these words.

Short videos are a kind of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. We often want to look for the second video at once after finishing watching one. But can we always remember what these videos are about? When we read a long story well, we often remember what it is about. Words also let us use our imagination, but videos don't.

In a word, videos can change the way people learn about the world and the way they have fun, but words will never go away. Words will be like stars shining from the past to the future.

27. How does the writer introduce the topic?

A.By asking questions. B.By giving numbers. C.By telling stories. D.By comparing facts.

28. What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A.People's worry now. B.Popular short video apps.

C.The reason for reading words. D.Things we learn from watching short videos 29.What does the underlined word “instant” most probably mean?

A.Funny. B.Healthy. C.Famous D.Fast 30.What does the passage mainly talk about'?

A.Videos can't really take the place of words. B.Words are less useful and more boring than videos. C.Watching videos--A more popular way to have fun.              D.Reading words--A better way to learn about ourselves.
