Listen to the passage twice and then decide on the appropriate answer to each of the questions from the 4 choices marked A, B,C and D. Once upon a time, there lived a doctor called Black in a small town. At any time of the day or night he was always ready to go to see his patients. People liked and believed him and they went to him whenever there was anything wrong with them. But as the years went by, old age and hard work made Dr Black’s memory weak. People noticed this, so they went to see other doctors when they were ill.
“He may give us the wrong medicine, ” someone said. Dr Black noticed that people did not come to see him as they used to do. But he didn’t understand why, so he asked, “Why is it that no one comes to see me now?” No one told him what the real trouble was because they did not want to hurt the good man. They all said,“You have cured all your patients. There is no one sick now.” The old man was pleased at this and went away happily.
Questions and Answers 1. Q: What can we know about Mr. Black from the passage? A: A. He was a very nice doctor. 2. Q: Why did people like him and believe him? A: D. Because he was always ready to help his patients. 3. Q: Why did people go to see other doctors when Black was old? A: C. Because his memory became weak. 4.

B: That’s right. Besides, we should express ourselves with some polite body language, such as smiling or nodding, etc. A: I’ve learned a lot from what you said. Thank you. B: You’re welcome.
Part Two Reading ● Lead-in Activity Discussion Samples ——True friendship is a shoulder to rely on, a hand to hold, an ear to listen to your pain or someone to catch you when you fall. I quite agree with this statement. As an English proverb says, a friend in need is a friend in deed. If I feel sad, my friend can listen to me and give me support so that I can have great courage to go on with my work.
——True friendshipis a caring voice, a comforting presence, a sentimental embrace (伤感时拥抱) or someone to wipe away tears. I think there is something in this saying. I think friends should share happiness and hardship. Every people need others’ help. It’s very good to get others’ help when we are in trouble. For example, we’ll feel much better if we can hear a caring voice when we’re sad. —— It’s very difficult for us to get a true friend in our life. If we get a true friend, we’ll be very happy and we should cherish it very much. We can talk with each other about our study and life, share happiness and hardship with each other so that we can improve our friendship.

Text A True friendship
uTranslation of Text A 真正的友谊 真正的友谊可说是人际关系的最高境界。那么,什么是真正的友谊?什么人才能被称作真正的朋友呢? 朋友不一定是完全相同的,他们有相似之处,也有不同的地方。打开友谊大门的关键是不仅要增加共同之处,而且还要接受彼此的不足。 朋友之间免不了要争执。没有人喜欢争执,但是争执是有必要的,因为如果你事事与朋友的意见保持一致,你成功的机会就会更多,你就会拥有更亲密的友谊。 朋友在一起要感到舒服,否则便不会情投意合。如果在一个朋友身旁感到焦躁不安,那表明某些地方出了问题。
朋友应无条件地关爱对方。他们也许有小小的不愉快,但过去的就已经过去了,他们应当做的是要原谅和忘却不愉快的过去。为什么要让过去发生的事情破坏未来的快乐呢?朋友应无条件地关爱对方。他们也许有小小的不愉快,但过去的就已经过去了,他们应当做的是要原谅和忘却不愉快的过去。为什么要让过去发生的事情破坏未来的快乐呢? 朋友之间应互相尊重。他们应当尊重对方的权利,即使对方选择了失败。他们应当相互支持个人的成长和思想的进步。 朋友不说彼此的闲话。他们认为闲话是不好的,是破坏友谊的东西。他们会致力于互相之间的帮助。 朋友是永远让你感到有趣的人,也是永远对别人有兴趣的人。他们忠于你,一直支持你和为你辩护。他们不会在背后讲你坏话,也不会龇牙咧嘴笑着告诉你别人说你的流言蜚语。
