26、Life is filled with challenges. As we get older, we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to accept it, or we can decide that the thing isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases what we need are commitment(投入) and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable it is, we will always choose to face it instead of running away from it. Communication is making space for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying what others did wrong. If you can say to a friend “I got my feelings hurt.” rather than “You hurt my feelings.”, you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
When dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles(障碍) you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up. It happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a benefit.”

D．Commitment can form friendship.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “call it quits” in Paragraph 1 mean?

【3】When one is faced with a challenge, the writer suggests ________.
A．one should call it quits
B．one should temporarily run away from it

27、About 15 years ago, when my children were still in elementary school, I was very active in the Parent Teacher Association. At one of the monthly meetings the topic of discussion was the new curriculum (课程) that the state of Michigan was presenting. Many concerns were voiced at that meeting, and one of them was my own. My concern was that the children were being taught things that were once taught at a much later age.
Let’s face it: children today have to learn and adapt to a more technological society, one where if you’re not a peak performer you’re just not well received. Some say that the children of today have it so much easier than 10—20 years ago. They’re given so much more, not having to work for their toys and little extras. They sit all day long in front of a computer playing games… How hard can that be?
I, for one, think that today’s child is missing out on so many wonderful experiences because of technology. What type of people skills are they learning? They can thumb type faster than any other generation before them, but they can’t pick up the phone and have a really deep conversation.
There is an elementary school not far behind my home and I used to see children on the playground every day. Weekdays and weekends, there would be children playing, shouting with joy. But now I don’t see many children there after school, nor on the weekend. Has the playground gone from our children’s life?
I know many teachers, some of whom are my friends, may throw a shoe at me when I say play doesn’t always need to have a purpose. And it doesn’t always have to have a teaching module included. To compete in today’s world, the children have to be experts at multitasking, and on top of their game at all times. I, for one, think this is a shame.
【1】Why was the author concerned?
A．The children didn’t learn much at school.
B．The parents’ opinions were not valued by schools.
C．The new curriculum was too advanced for the children.
D．The children were not interested in the new curriculum.
【2】What should children learn according to the author?
A．How to adapt to a technological society.
B．How to communicate with others.
C．How to work for toys and extras.
D．How to make a telephone call.
【3】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．Children’s play should be well designed.
B．Play and learning should go hand in hand.
C．The multitasking ability is more important than play.
D．Children should be allowed to play purposelessly.
【4】What does the underlined part “throw a shoe at” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Disagree with.
B．Laugh at.
C．Accept.
D．Hit.
28、 The real problem of wildfires is the strength of the blazes（火焰）.In 2015, for the first time, fires burned more than 10 million acres nationwide. It happened again in 2017. In California, eight of the state's 20 worst wildfires have happened in the past 10 years. The 2018 Camp Fire, which killed 85 lives in Northern California, was the deadliest in the century.
The world's worst wildfire in terms of lives lost was the 1871 Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, in which at least 1,200 people died. Never heard of it? Perhaps that's because people's attention was drawn by another terrible blaze that happened the same night: the Great Chicago Fire.
Humans still cause more than 4 out of 5 wildfires through carelessly dropped cigarettes, poorly put-out campfires. Another major sparker of wildfires is lightning. According to the Natural History Museum of Utah, lightning strikes the earth more than100,000 times a day. Anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of these strikes causes fires.
One of the many challenges dealing with wildfires is that they can overtake even a very fast human. According to National Geographic, the fires can travel up to 14 miles per hour, or about one mile every four minutes.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.Lightning. B.Wildfires.
C.Cigarettes. D.Campfires.
【2】Which fire killed the most people?
A.The California Fire.
B.The Great Chicago Fire.
C.The 1871 Peshtigo Fire.
D.The 2018 Camp Fire.
【3】What makes it difficult to put out wildfires?
A.Their speed. B.Their strength.
C.Their blaze. D.Their causes.
29、While friendships are one of the most important connections a person can come across, friends may not always be part of our lives. 【1】
You Outgrow Each Other
【2】 These connections are mostly established on common ground: liking the same television shows, or enjoying similar kinds of music. There are times when companions grow out of each other and friendships die away gradually. What initially began as common ground has developed into different things between friends.
A Fight Breaks Things Up
While differences are encouraged, there are some disagreements that may not be resolved so easily. Friends sometimes hold different views on matters that are essential to their ways of life. 【3】 Likewise, where a betrayal (背叛) takes place, the friendship may be unable to survive the pain.
Distance Complicates Things
As everyday life goes on, moving away for work, marriage and other reasons can put some tension on the friendship. Honestly, there is no shortage of love between friends that find themselves in different parts of the world. 【4】 Eventually, friendships may end when too much time has passed and too many events may have occurred between once loved friends.
When you lose a friend, it’s easy to get caught up in the pain of loss. Letting yourself feel the impact of a lost friend is admirable and even advisable. 【5】 Instead, learn to treasure other friends present in your life. Show your appreciation to those who invest efforts in your growth and happiness, spend time with them and then build your friendship.
A．However, this should not last long.
B．Here are reasons why a friendship may wind up.
C．That may prevent the friendship from progressing.
D．A friendship usually begins with innocent intentions.
E．Learning about life with loss can put you in a better state.
F．How to manage a friend’s absence is of great importance.
G．And yet this distance can contribute to reduced communication.
