Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of
people are relatives but are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends.
You can appreciate or admire someone, but that does not mean you make him or her a
friend.
When I had my near- death illness last year and the following long recuperation, I had a
lot of time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you
need help, sorry, that is not friendship. If their attitude is “ for better or worse” , if they stick to
you through troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true friendship. I do
have some friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late 80s when my
friend, Ken, really needed me but I did not come through for him. I remember hanging out in
my happy suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his
wife.
Luckily, I got to apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.


I do not have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were
friends, and other times, clearly, not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people
overcoming the barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some point.
36. According to the writer,
A. all lovers are friend.

B. all your relatives are also your friends.
C. whoever you admire is your friends
D. not all workmates are friends.
37. In true friendship, _
.
A. your friends are always scared of you.
B. friends stick to each other through troubles and difficulties
C. we should have as many friends as possible.
D. friends are scared of helping each other.
38. What happened to the writer last year?
A. His wife passed away
B. He was seriously ill
C. He had an interesting experienceD. He had got some new friends.
39. We can learn from the text that
A. the writer had a house in suburb in Menlo Park
B. the writer came to help his friend, Ken, when his friend’s wife died.
C. whenever his friend, Ken, had a problem, the writer immediately came to help.
D. the writer. And Ken are true friends at all time.
40. The writer did not come to help Ken
_
A. so Ken was very angry.
B. and he did not apologize.
C. but Ken did not mind.
D. so they were no longer friends.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional
health. An evening out with the closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact
our best friend can prevent us from developing serious psychological problems such as
depression and anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time- we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We
become friends with people who share common interests – as school or through hobbies, for
example.
Best friends have usually known each other for several years and stuck together through
good and bad times. If you have not got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or
focusing too much on your work.

then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided I had to
turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I had better ask the way. The
trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived,
and even that I pronounced badly, I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I

shook my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked
was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm.
There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely
and began walking in the direction he pointed.
