In an international spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 21 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 22 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 23 the word, but instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 24 letter—so she lost the contest.

As the girl walked off the 25 , the entire audience stood to their feet, clapping to applaud her ___26__.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers . Very few people were still out. except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment , I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

Brazil has become one of the developing world's great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design．While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard．

　　Brazil's population growth rate dropped from 2.99％ a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93％ a year between 1981and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．

　　Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s．Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas．Globl, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．

　　Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction(生育), they describe middle and upper class values：not many children, women working, says Martine．They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package．

　　Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．“This led to an enormous change in consumption(消费)patterns and consumption was incompatible(不相容的)with unlimited reproduction,”says Martine．

46.According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________．

A．by educating its citizens

C．by developing TV programs

D．by chance

47.According to the passage, many Third World countries ________．

A．haven’t given much attention to birth control

D．haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning

48.The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.

A.considers it was caused by B.sums it up as

C.finds it a reason for D.compares it to

49.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ________．

A．They keep people sitting long hours watching TV

B．They have gradually changed people’s way of life

B．The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate．

C．Consumption goes with reproduction．

D．A country’s production is limited by its population growth．

Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others—they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.

It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A“friend”today may probably become a“true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you—for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.

In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.

However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own thing. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life—friendship. 51. Which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?

A. They have all of the same interests as you do.

B. You seldom meet them in your life.

C. They are sure to become your good friends.

D. Not all of them can become your friends.

52. According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you_______.

A. go to the same school as your friend

B. get into trouble

C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend

D. see your friend often

53.We know from the passage that_______.

A.it doesn't matter if one has friends or not.

B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends.

C.people without friends are always unhappy.

D.it's easier to lose a friend than get one.

54. What does the underlined word ”skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?

A. Very deep.

B. Not deep at all

C. As precious as skin

D. Hidden under the skin

55. What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?

A. Interested

B. Angry

C. Hopeful

D. Regretful
