Fiona was a very popular girl at school. She always tried her best to be kind and friendly to everyone. She would give presents to everybody. She felt very lucky because no other girl had so many friends at school.

But everything changed on Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone was having a great time, giving and receiving gifts. Everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends.

However, when all the presents had been handed out to all the classmates, Fiona was the only one who had not received a present! She felt terrible, and spent hours crying. How could it be possible? She had tried so hard to make so many friends, and in the end no one saw her as their best friend.

She realized that she was a good playmate, but she had not been a true friend to anyone. She had tried not to argue with anyone and she had tried to pay attention to everyone, but now she had found out that was not enough to create true friendship.

When she got home in tears, Fiona asked her mother where she could find true friends.

“My dear, you can’t be a close friend to everybody,”her mother said. “It’s only possible to have a few true friends.”

Hearing this, Fiona was hopeful that she would finally make some true friends. That night, in bed, she thought about what she could do to get them.

“I wish I had straight hair”；“I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media （媒体） can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different — and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence （自信）.

Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves （行为）kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research （CAR）, says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.

If you feel positively （积极地）about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.

It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you： do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating （对待）your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.

27. The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media______.

A. may bring people some wrong ideas of looks

B. teach people how to behave kindly

C. are perfect for people to follow

D. show everyone is different

28. The underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 3 probably means“________”.

A. careless  B. serious  C. scared   D. worried

29. Parnell will agree that you should________.

A. accept your body as it is

B. stop talking about others’ bodies

C. remember what you used to be like

D. spend more money on your appearance

30. Why does the writer write the passage?

A. To encourage readers to take more exercise.

B. To remind readers not to eat too much food.

C. To lead readers to build up body confidence.

D. To advise readers to treat their friends well.

D

“When a snow leopard walks to its prey （猎物）among the mountain walls, it moves...softly, slowly,” explains a scientist. “If it knocks a stone loose, it will reach out a foot to stop it from falling and making noise.” One might be moving silently right now, maybe close by. But where?

The snow leopard is one of the world’s most special animals. People can only find them in the mountainous areas of Central Asia.

Snow leopards have been protected since 1975, but it has been not easy to do that. Many people kill them for their fur and body parts to sell on the black market. When snow leopards hunt （狩猎）at night, they may kill the animals of herders （牧民）. So in recent years, conflict （冲突）with local herders has also led to a number of snow leopard deaths .

As a result, the actual number of snow leopards may already have dropped below 3,500. The only way to change this, say conservationists （自然保护主义者），is to make them more valuable alive than dead.

To solve this problem, local government has called for an end to snow leopard killings. They’ve also tried to make people realize that the leopards are endangered, and it is important to protect them. Some officials are also helping to slow snow leopard killings. An organization （组织） has set up Himalayan Homestays, a program that sends visitors to herders’ houses. Visitors pay about ten dollars a night. So herders can earn enough money to make up for the lost because of snow leopards. It also provides herders with environmental classes at village schools, and trains them as nature guides. In exchange, the herders agree not to kill snow leopards.

In Mongolia, a project called SLE helps herders earn extra money to stop them from killing the endangered cat. SLE buys hand-made things from herding families and sells them abroad. However, herders must agree to protect the snow leopards and to encourage neighbors to do the same.

Projects like the Homestays program and SLE’s business are doing well. They make the leopards more valuable to more people each year. If these programs continue to do well, the snow leopard may just have a fighting chance.

31. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Snow leopards often make noises at night.

B. Some herders can work as nature guides.

C. The number of snow leopards is bigger than before.

D. Herders sell their hand-made things on black markets.

32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Local herders disagree to save snow leopards.

B. People kill snow leopards for their fur and body parts.

C. It is difficult to stop people from killing snow leopards.

D. The black market is the main reason why snow leopards are endangered.

33. According to conservationists, what’s the best way to save the snow leopards?

A. Creating a nature park where they can be free.

B. Moving herders away from where the snow leopards live.

C. Making people realize the value of living snow leopards.

D. Giving away enough money to the people who kills snow leopards.

Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. It is in Asia, which is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. Mount Qomolangma’s peak （顶峰）is 5.5 miles above sea level. That is very high! So many climbers have tried to climb to the top of it to prove themselves. The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Since then, thousands of people have succeeded in climbing to the peak of Mount Qomolangma.

One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow and avalanches （雪崩）. However, what really made Erik’s climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind. After losing his vision at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on all seven continents （大陆）. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Qomolangma.

At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. His team wore bells that he could follow during his climb, and teammates were quick to warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a rock to the left. Erik also used long climbing poles and an ice ax to feel his way across the ice, rock, and snow on the mountain. During his climb, Erik faced many dangers. He struggled through 100 miles per hour winds and sliding snow, ice, and rock. The higher Erik climbed, the thinner the air became, so he wore an oxygen mask. This helped him breathe as he climbed higher and higher. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this unbelievable mountain.

34. Who was the first person to reach Qomolangma’s peak?

35. What really made Erik’s climb unbelievable?

36. Why did Erik wear an oxygen mask during his climb?

37. What do you think of Erik? Why? （ At least two reasons）

Since then it has been on my bed. When I feel lonely, he stays with me and makes me feel relaxed. Once I went to a summer camp, I took it with me.
