They did almost everything together. But one day, after a misunderstanding, Joyce stopped talking to Jessica. For more than three months, Joyce refused to talk to Jessica or answer her questions. “During that time, I found out what an important friend she was,” Jessica says. “I couldnt even study carefully. I just thought about how to heal(使恢复正常) our friendship.” The next term, Jessica tried again. This time, Joyce was willing to work it out. It took some time and effort and at last the friendship was healed. Most of us are sad because of broken friendships. But the good news is that most friendships can be healed. The key to happiness is having a good relationship with friends. This makes us healthier. Keeping long and healthy friendships is worth the effort!If theres a broken friendship youd like to heal, try the following:l Be the first to talk with your friend. l Be the first to say sorry.l Share different ideas.Its not strange for friendships to change. Often two friends never get together after misunderstanding. Problems come when one friend tries to hold on while the other friend lets go. If your friend wouldnt like to heal the friendship, just let it be. But if you are able to solve the problems, youll certainly have a true friendship!44.

Well, I'm a better student than you! But that's not right, said an educational committee in France. Recently the committee handed in a report to the country's Ministry of Education and suggested using grades instead of scores for test results, reported the French newspaper Le Monde.Scores could hurt sensitive(敏感的) students and do little to help with their study, said the committee. At the moment, the total score of each test in French schools is 20 and a score of 12 is thought to be good. That's different from many other countries. For example, US schools grade students from letter A to F. German students get a result between 1-6. Finland doesn't score students under the age of 11. For older students, the lowest score they get is 4 out of 10.Many students in China now also get grades. Schools believe that it will lessen the importance of scores. But not everyone thinks it's a good change. It might give students a wrong "sense of success" and make them want to get "praise for everything they do," according to an article in The Washington Post. No matter how schools grade them, students "should reflect from time to time in order to continue what they truly do well and learn from what they dont," said the article.48. From the story, we learn _ ways of grading students in different countries.A. three B. four C. five D. six49. Who suggests using grades instead of scoring for test results? A.

Grading students may give them a wrong “sense of success.” D. Grading is a much better way than scoring.DAs Alice and Mike watched their son Allan graduate from Cambridge University last month, they thought back to the moment he was born. “Im so sorry your baby is blind,” a neighbor had said. Even though Allans family were middle class and they lived a comfortable life, as a blind child, Allan Hennessys future was poor. The local hospitals could not offer Allan hope of giving him sight because there werent enough eye experts. But when Allan was 6 months old, an opportunity came and Allans father didnt want to miss it. “My dad sold his car and some of his land to pay for my treatment. We left our home country with very little.” The opportunity was an operation(手术) in London which brought back the sight in Allans left eye. “My mom remembers the first time I looked at her; the first time we made eye contact. She burst into tears. Since then, Ive just been rocking on with the little sight I have,” he explained. For Allan, life in London was challenging(有挑战性的). When he was accepted into Cambridge University, Allan knew that there were so many differences between him and his peers (同龄人) at Cambridge. “I felt quite different,” he said. “When youre a half-blind guy, everyone can see that and they judge you.” But after spending three years at Fitzwilliam College, Allan said his life had greatly changed. “I met the most amazing people from all over the world.” What would his life be like if he had stayed in his home country? “I wouldnt have a Cambridge law degree; I wouldnt even see. My family there have faced terrible events. Perhaps I wouldnt be alive.” After graduating this summer, Allan is taking up a scholarship at law school. “If youve got a first-class law degree(学位) from Cambridge University, that should set you up for life,” he said. “But when youre a half-blind man living in Britain today, there is so much more I have to do. The journey has only just begun.”52. When Allan was born, _.A. he couldnt see anything B. his family moved to LondonC. he lived in a poor area D. a local doctor treated his eyes53.
