三、阅读理解（每题1分，共15分）

Too many people want others to be their friends, but t hey don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendship don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make

it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining(解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat(门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(电冰箱). Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor’s house!

If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”

These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments（实验）to test the learn while you sleep method（方法）, which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.

Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect（影响）his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake. In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary（词汇）were given with the students awake. At 11 p. m. a lullaby（催眠曲）was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a. m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson .The soft music sent him back to rest again

while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.

12. By the learn while you sleep method, one ________ .

A. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep B. learns how to sleep better

C. is made to remember his lesson in sleep

D. can listen to the radio broadcast while lying in bed

13. In the experiment, lessons were given _________ .

A. in the night time B. after lullabies were broadcast

C. while the student was awake D. all through the twelve hours

14. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to __________ .

A. get up and take breakfast B. be woken up by a loud voice

C. listen to the lesson again in sleep D. review（复习）the lesson by himself
