• 2．China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
     It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
     Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
     My first ride home was orderly（守秩序的）.To be safe，I stayed with a "pack" of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
     Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
     I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.

• 3．Who needs friends？According to most psychologists （心理學(xué)家），we all do，especially nowadays when so many other aspects （方面） of modern life are changing.It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
     The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us.Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends，instead of our families，for advice，comfort and security （安全感）.One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend，she would choose her friend.
     Since our friends mean so much to us，it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. "Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed，it is friendship that holds people together，" says Rowe.If the couple do not make some change，they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.
     But is friendship equally important to women and men？According to author Rhonda Pritchard，women are more likely than men to have close friends. "You tell a friend things that you'd never tell a partner"，says one woman she interviewed.For men，friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend.Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business，running，riding a bike，fishing or watching football，but they don't often share their feelings.
     Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough，many men say that their partner is their best friend.Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.
  
  （1）What did Rebecca think about friendship？

  
  A．Families are reliable forever.
  B．Her friend means more to her than her husband
  C．One needn't have too many friends.
  D．Friends are as important as families.
  （2）Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because

  .
  A．they are encouraged by their partners.
  B．they are not fairly treated by their partners
  C．they don't get what they need from their partners.
  D．they think their friends are more romantic.
  （3）What is the main difference between men's and women's friendships？

  
  A．Women often do things together.
  B．Women often talk about business with friends.
  C．Men seldom talk about their feelings.
  D．Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
  （4）When a friendship ends，some women may

  .
  A．feel as upset as when a marriage ends.
  B．share feelings with their partners.
  C．treat their partners as friends.
  D．turn to their husband for comfort.

   A light rain was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the shop，eager to get home and play with the presents that our parents had prepared for us and our baby sister，Sharon.Across the street from the shop was a gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped，which was closed for New Year，but I saw a family standing outside the locked door，gathering closely together under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry.I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
   Once we got home，there was barely time to enjoy our presents.We had to go off to our grandparents' house for our annual family dinner.As we drove down the highway through town，I noticed that the family was still there，standing outside the closed gas station.
   My father was driving very slowly down the highway.The closer we got to the turnoff（岔道）for my grandparents' house，the slower the car went.Suddenly，my father made a Uturn in the middle of the road and said that he couldn't stand it."What？" asked my mother."It's those people back there at the station，standing in the rain.They've got children.It's New Year.I can't stand it."
   When my father pulled into the service station，I saw that there were five of them：the parents and three children-two girls and a small boy，who were getting wet standing there.My father rolled down his window."Happy New Year，" he said.
      "Thanks.You，too，" the man replied.He was very tall and had to bend slightly to look into the car.Jill，Sharon，and I looked at the children，and they looked back at us.
      "You waiting on the bus？" my father asked.The man said that they were.They were going to Birmingham，where he had a brother and chances of a job.Knowing the bus wouldn't come along for several hours，my father invited them to our home to shelter from the rain.
   Paragraph 1：
   The man thought about it for a moment，but then refused._______
   Paragraph 2：
   When we got out of the car at our house，the three children ran through the front door happily._____
