1、语篇翻译 阅读下面的短文，将画线的句子译成英文或中文。

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship, because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.

Try to understand your friend

1. It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problem he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious that 2.如果人们有问题，他们可能不会把问题告诉家人或亲属，they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up. 3. Listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.

Try to teach good things

If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. 4. 一个好朋友应该永远不希望他的朋友依赖他人。

Let your friend be himself

5. The most important point is that your friend has his own life and you should not make trouble in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.

Hope this will help you solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.

24、   No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy. But does a messy desktop actually mean that? Not all disorders (无序) mean you mess everything up. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal attraction came from his messy desktop.

People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable.

Some believe it helps them focus more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy café. Others may be the people who want to do things perfectly. For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% done. So they usually put away the less important things and do the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.

Many people are described as untidy, careless and slow because of messy tabletops. However,when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg- pioneers of their times ——things might change. Clearly, the world welcomes uniformity(- X ) and order, it also never refuses regular (有规律的) disorder, which seems like a mess but goes in an organized (有条理的) way.

Research shows that people working with a messy desktop are probably more creative and like to take risks. But people with a tidy one often follow the rules and may not like to try new things. For example, in an experiment (实验) done by Kathleen Vohs. People in the messy group came up with more interesting and creative ideas about the new uses of ping-pong balls than the organized one. Vohs says, Messy environments seem to inspire people to think up fresh ideas.'

But a messy desk might not be the best choice all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to do a task quickly and successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.

No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it!

【1】Some people prefer a messy desk because ________.

A.it makes them uncomfortable

B.they can focus on tasks easily

C.they are lazy and untidy

【2】What does the underlined phrase “strive for” mean in Chinese?

A.对……感兴趣 B.将……分开 C.为……努力

【3】What can you learn from Paragraph 3?

A.Disorder is never welcomed in this world.

B.People may be successful although they have messy tabletops.

C.People can finish the tasks perfectly as long as they keep their desks clean.

【4】The experiment done by Kathleen Vohs shows that ________.

A.people working a messy desktop think up fresh ideas more often

B.people working with a tidy desktop always try new things

C.a messy desktop has a bad influence on people's minds

【5】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.Messy Desk: Do People Need to Change It?

B.Messy Desk: Does It Make People Comfortable?

C.Messy Desk: Do People Find Excuses for It?

25、One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.

I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”

“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

【1】The young couple were at an art museum ________.

【3】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．the importance of art

B．good manners in public

C．patience of a husband

D．love between a couple

27、Danny stood with his mother at the kitchen window of their tiny house. Mom put her arm around Danny. “Just look at that view,” she said. “Can you believe we live here? I think it’s the most beautiful place on earth.” Mom was right; it looked like a postcard out there, with the palm threes swaying in the breeze, the bushes covered with pink and white flowers, and the ocean a sparkling silver strip in the distance.

       Danny couldn’t stand looking at it. All he wanted was to be back in New York City, looking out his old apartment window at the jumble of dirty buildings, the smoke thick in the air, and his friends.

       Mom thought that coming here to Hawaii would give Danny a fresh start—just she and Danny. She wanted to get him away from danger and trouble.

       After a while, Mom kissed Danny good—bye after straightening her white nurse's cap and went off to work. Slowly Danny stood up, making a plan in his mind for his journey back to New York City. But then he heard a noise in his backyard.

       Danny opened the back door. Mom’s new pot of flowers lay shattered on the ground. “Was someone in trouble? Or were robbers planning to break in?” thought Danny. He picked up a broom, ready to strike. He didn’t see anyone, but then he caught sight of a small dark head poking out from behind one of the thick bushes. Danny put down the broom and walked over. It was a little kid, maybe three years old. “What was he doing here all by himself? Was he hurt?” thought Danny.

       “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” the kid screamed. “Hey!” Danny said. The kid turned around. He was laughing like a monkey standing on a mountain of bananas. And he was clutching a little animal of some kind. “Puppy!” the kid said. Danny studied the animal. It was very small and black except for one white ear.He didn't want to break the kid’s heart, but he was petty sure it wasn’t a little dog. It looked more like a rat.

       “My puppy!” the kid said, hugging it so tight. Danny was sure it would pop like a balloon. Danny looked around. The kid was too young to be wandering around on his own. “Who are you?” Danny said, bending down to look the kid in the eye. “Aki!” he said. “Who are you?” “I'm Danny.” “Danny, see my puppy?” Aki held out his poor pet like he wanted Danny to give it a big kiss.

       And then the kid’s eyes got huge.He pointed to something over Danny’s shoulder. “Monster!” he said. Danny spun around and there, moving toward them, was the ugliest animal Danny had ever seen in his life. It was black, the size of a huge dog, with wiry bristles, a pig’s snout, and two huge spiked tusks sprouting right from its face like swords. It did look like a monster. The animal grunted and snorted as it stared at Aki with beady black eyes.

       Prepare to die! It seemed to be saying. And it seemed the monster was ready to charge at them.

28、How to Be a Nice Guest

Do you want to be a nice guest? Read the following five top tips:

【1】—if you are in a formal（正式的） situation, dress smartly: a suit and tie for men, a long dress and jacket for women.
