Some students are sharing their ideas with us. Tom Although we are quite different, Adam and I have been close friends for 5 years. We have a lot to talk. We play basketball together after school. We go for a picnic at weekends. It’s always a pleasure to be with him. Yumi I spend my spare time mostly with people from other countries. When I’m with them, I really get to know what they’re like and how easy they are to get along with. They help me to improve my English. Anna I’ve made some good friends at the gym I go to. People there are very friendly. Talking to them as I take exercise is a good way for us to get to know each other. Peter I can make more friends on the Internet because it keeps me in touch with the whole world. I can get worldwide stories from my friends all over the world. 47. Adam is ______ friend. A. Tom’s B.

What helps Peter make more friends? A. The story. B. The sport. C. The Internet. D. The language. B When you work long hours and Sundays are no longer a day to rest, feeling overworked can become the new normal. Take sportsmen as examples and do the same yourself, so you’ll know if you’re overworking. Check your resting heart rate (率). Every day, before you get out of bed, take your pulse (脉搏). Usually your heart rate will stay within a few beats every minute. But when you’re overworked, the rate increases. If your heart rate is up in the morning, get a little more rest or sleep that night. Check your emotions. Getting angry easily? If you can’t put your finger on a clear reason, there may be something wrong with your emotions. Hoping to change the condition won’t help. The only way out is a break. Check your weight. If you lose or increase more than 1% of body weight from one day to the next, something is wrong. Maybe yesterday you were too busy and failed to notice you didn’t eat and drink enough. Or maybe you failed to notice that you were eating too much. 50. How many ways are mentioned to check if we’re overworking? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 51. When should we check our heart rate? A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon. C. At noon. D. At night. 52. What is the best way to deal with the problem of overwork? A. Doing more sports. B. Drinking more water. C. Having more rest. D. Eating less food. C “No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends. For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have. There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages. Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book. 1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, whe
