“Yes?” I asked.

“Once I got caught in a spider web 22 I didn't see it," the boy said.

"That's gossamer! ” I shouted, nearly jumping up. " Gossamer things are hard to see. " Gossamer is also how I might describe the voices of 23. young children. I can only hear them when I am close enough. They are not the children speaking with ease. They are the children whose faces grow 24 if I call on them, or whisper （低语）“I don't know“ even when they do 25              . I don't want them to 26   . I want them to be comfortable being 27              .

Shy children usually have less practice in speaking, especially when there are other more children 28 to talk. It's a loud world. Though shy children may appear 29 to be in the background, they are losing opportunities to participate. Without practice, fear of speaking 30 .

It takes about three weeks, a small bit of 31 each day, for each of my 17 students to

learn a poem. So far, they have memorizedmore than five. And now, an obvious 32 has

happened. The “shyest” children are as eager to read aloud as the 33 ones.

Practice is an excellent way to increase34   of shy children while learning a poem. And

it is practice that makes them enjoy the 35    of the language.

Making friends can be difficult. It seems like there's no guide for this important life skill. But a researcher Jeffrey A. Hall in the University of Kansas has helped explain the process of friendship-building in a new study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. It's the first to find out exactly how long it takes to make a friend. The answer is a long time.

Hall surveyed 112 college students every three weeks during their first nine weeks at a Midwestern university. He also gave a one-time questionnaire to 355 American adults who had

moved to a new city in the past six months. In these surveys, the newcomers picked a friend or two and reported how much time they spent together.

Unsurprisingly, the more time two people spent together, the closer their relationship is. Through his analysis, Hall was able to tell how many hours it took for different levels of friendship to take place:

• It takes students 43 hours and adults 94 hours to turn acquaintances (熟人) into casual friends.

• Students need 57 hours to change from casual friends to friends. Adults need, on average, 164 hours.

• For students, friends became good or best friends after about 119 hours. Adults need an additional 100 hours to make that happen.

“Everyone wants to have friends, but you can't have friends without making them, “ says Hall. "Making friends takes

That's why it's easier to make friends in school and at university. Hall thinks that the close college life develops fast connections and it's harder for students to get impacted by other people outside, especially if they go to a university away from home. For adults, even 50 hours is a lot of hours to spend with someone when they' re working foil time and spending at least an hour a day on the subway.

39. What' s the purpose of the study by Jeffrey A. Hall?

A. To provide a guide for making friends.

B. To describe the benefits of making friends.

C. To explore the time needed for making friends.

D. To study the differences between students and adults.

40. According to Hall, how long do new students need to become best friends?

A. 100 hours. B. 119 hours. C. 219 hours. D. 319 hours.

41. Which of the following has a positive effect on friendship-building?

A. The close college life. B. Long working time.

C. The impact from others. D. Time spent on the subway.

C

When I went off to college in the fall of 1991, I was an 18-year-old man whose favorite letters were the ones on the sports sweater. Four years later, I was crazy about the letters of the poet Keats, but one author's penned letters stood out above the rest. You see, my father wrote me one letter per week from the time I left home.

In an age before email, these letters seemed too ordinary. But they arrived. Each week. One after another. Again and again. In snowstorms. On holidays. From foreign countries. They detailed what Dad referred to as “the week that was"- a day — by — day description of my father's life.

In 1995, I graduated from college, like many 22-year olds, with plenty of uncertainty. Some of my questions were pretty typical ： What was I going to do? Where was I going to live? When was I going to apply for, graduate school? But one question was more vital than any other thing. What would happen to the weekly letters? Would they continue? To my surprise, the letters kept coming, more heartfelt and emotional than before and always on time. I mean, the guy never missed.

As much as I enjoyed my father's weekly letters, I didn't fully appreciate them all those years when they arrived like clockwork. And I never fully understood why my dad would always ask if Td received the letter when we spoke.

But now, as I pen my first official letters to my own sons Jackson and Cassius, it all seems clear. Although our boys have yet to leave for college, I have to accept that day will soon come. Just the idea of their leaving from our home makes me ache with sadness only a parent can know.

So I am writing about “the week that was” with my daily details. With a box of over 500 of Dad's letters nearby and his pen in hand, I write a letter, fighting back the tears. I make it to the end and sign it just as he did. All my love, Dad.

（以下是A种题型）

42. What were the letters from the author' s father mainly about?

A. Daily details. B. Keats' poems.

C. College and family. D. Weather and holidays.

43. What does the underlined word “vital" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Professional. B. Interesting. C. Difficult. D. Important.

44. What leads the author to fully understand his father's letters?

A. Entering college. B. Writing to his own sons.

C. Graduating from college. D. Sending his sons to college.

45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. What We Can Learn from Graduate School

B. How I Communicated with My Sons by Letter

C. How I Came to Appreciate My Father's Letters

D. What We Know About Kids After Being Parents

（以下是B种题型）

42. What did the author's father keep doing for years?

43. What does the sentence “the guy never missed,, tell us about the author's father?

44. When did the author come to realize the importance of his father's letters?

45. Why would the author's dad always ask if the author had received his letters?

How to Learn English Idioms （习语）

One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms — and then use them. 46

They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages, English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations, or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them?

Learn idioms in context

It's difficult to learn idioms through lists. 47 Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used, and know clearly whether it's common. This is important, because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation, it won't sound natural.

Don't try to learn too many at once

48 For that reason, don't try to learn more than five at any one time. Don't forget: You ） 11 need to practise your new idioms （like any new vocabulary）, so limit what you do in any lesson.

Understand the feeling

We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example, we say that someone has a “heart of gold”. Because gold is a precious metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person. 49

Listen out for idioms

If you hear two words used together in an unusual way, it might well be a new idiom.

50 However, usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it.

A. Idioms can be complex.

B. Instead, learn their meanings in context.

C. Idioms can add interest to what you say or write.

D. In fact, it does mean that a person is very kind.

E. Sometimes you can guess its meaning in context.
