27、In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

28、People have been telling stories for as long as they have been walking the Earth. And from cave paintings to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre to Hollywood films, the methods of telling them have got more and more complex.
In the 1960s, a new storytelling art form appeared—the urban legend (都市传奇). Even if you’ve never heard the term, you’ve certainly heard an urban legend. What about the story of the unwanted pet alligators that were rushed down the toilet and are now living in the underground tubes of New York City? Or a man who woke up in the yard and saw a note informing him that his house had been stolen?
One of the key features of the urban legend is its lack of an author. The stories appear mysteriously and are then passed on by word of mouth. And, although we know these mini-stories of horror, humour and awkwardness are almost certainly not true, part of us wants to believe them.
Then the Internet, which is packed with stories (everything from jokes to the latest books from top-selling authors), helped create and spread urban legends. Before the Internet, urban legends went around quite slowly. They took time to reach a larger audience. The Internet changed all that almost overnight.
The Internet is the perfect vehicle for the urban legend, for it not only allows the stories to spread much faster but it allows for greater anonymity, too—a lot of what we read online doesn’t have an author’s name attached to it. This anonymity adds to the overall mystery.
Of course, the Internet also allows you to check the truth of a story more easily. Over time, a number of sites have appeared which collect stories, find out the truth about their origins and report the results. Often there isn’t any truth to the story at all. But sometimes the urban legend grew from something that did actually happen. Because of the Internet, learning about the origins of an urban legend can be as interesting and enjoyable as the story itself.
【1】What can we learn about storytelling from the first paragraph?
A．It has changed over time.
B．It requires modern methods.
C．It is the way to explore the earth.
D．It has originated from Shakespeare’s time.
【2】What does the author mean when he says “the Internet is packed with stories”?
A．There are only online stories.
B．The stories spread slowly online.
C．There are all kinds of stories online.
D．The stories take too much space online.
【3】As for the influence of the Internet on urban legends, the author is ________.
A．worried
B．satisfied
C．puzzled
D．surprised
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Urban legends are generally mysterious stories.
B．Urban legends appear at the same time as the Internet.
C．It is more fun to find its origin compared with the story itself.
D．People like to discover whether urban legends are true or not.
29、Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts
her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs' copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused（控告）of pirating（盗用）copyright. Lawsuits（诉讼）have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
"Baidu's defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines," said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn't think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about getting others' work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. "If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD," she said. "So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing（追究）file-sharers."
【1】Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．Music on the Internet is of better quality.
B．Downloading material can be illegal.
C．It's good to get free music on the Internet.
D．Baidu is a popular web company.
【2】The four web companies were put to court because _________.
A．they got copyrighted songs without paying

A．A bit guilty.
B．A little sad.
C．Extremely angry.
D．Awfully sorry.
【4】What's the advantage of file sharing for recording companies?
A．Getting more money from web companies.
B．Enabling people to download favorite songs.
C．Helping to improve the music.
D．Making pop singers more popular.
【5】It can be inferred from the text that _________.
A．Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.
B．Teenagers haven't got money to buy CDs.
C．Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.
D．Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.
