True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, b   1   later he or she may let you down (让你失望).
A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. Through good times or b   2   times, they will stand by your side. They will not l   3   you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you without trying to change you. A friend will b   4   new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.
True friends will keep your worst secrets as you will keep t   5  . They will be honest and you can always believe in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to w   6   about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.
Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship b   7   you, you must do the same thing as well. Be there for your friends when they are in n   8   and share the good times with them. Offer them the same things they give to you. Friendship will break quickly if only one person is giving and p  9   effort into it.
You will find that there is nothing more valuable t   10   having a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized (珍惜) than true friendship”.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

There are reports about Chineses students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you winder which country is better to study in, think it again.

“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories.
Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?
Family—What kind of relationship(关系)do you want with your parents and other family members?
Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?
Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?
Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?
Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?
Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
小题1:Is life a long journey according to the passage?
小题2: Why do you need to set your life goal?
小题3:What should you consider when you set a family goal?
小题4:How can we achieve the main goal easily?
小题5:What does the writer want to tell us?
