阅读理解 Do you need to‘edit your friends’？ 　　Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don’t really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to ‘edit your friends’? 　　Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends．As our lives get busier it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us． 　　Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions(物品)．It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends． 　　What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend．Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think, ‘Do I really want to see this person?’ and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse．That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends． (1) People need to edit their friends when ________． [　　] A． they have moved to a different area． B． they have no time with their real friends C． some of their friends don’t talk very much． D． their friends are people from work or school． (2) People don’t need to edit their ________． [　　] A． real friends． B． young friends． C． old friends． D． new friends． (3) What does the word“edit”in the passage mean? [　　] A． Examine and choose． B． Miss and see． C． Believe and help． D． Call and meet． (4) What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3? [　　] A． We should often throw some possessions． B． Most of our friends are not necessary at all． C． We shouldn’t treat our friends as possessions． D． We should ask ourselves who our real friends are．

Basketball is still a young game. It’s over a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they couldn’t play outdoors, they were unhappy, and some even got into fights from time to time.
Some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent（发明）a game so that the students might have something to play with. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors , and the court（球场）was not very large.
Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make a score , the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet（英尺）above
the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr.
Naismith wanted to throw the ball into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets instead. That is how the game got its name.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying “Friends are God's way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a Good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the best have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling ; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
(   ) 1. Sally wants to tell students the ways to ________.
A. find friends    B. plant trees   C. get happy    D. keep fit
