Question

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。

When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.”   1    Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “  2  ”

To be a good friend or partner, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.    3    When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.

  4  You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person’s life.

Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourself – respect and life path. As someone once told me “  5  They will either take you up or down.”

A．I am afraid so. 

B．It is quite true

C．Friendship is the most important factor.

D．Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.

E．A friend is a present which you give yourself.  

F．The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.

G．Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 

 B

 E

 D

 G

 F

【解析】

 前面講到媽媽說的話，后面又在生活中體驗到了這句話的正確性，故選B。

 根據前面所講到的朋友帶來的好處，可知，朋友是你自己給自己的禮物。

 根據下文可知，有時候學會傾聽，然后把朋友的話反饋給他們的時候，能夠幫助朋友意識到他們所說的話并非是他們想要說的話。說明傾聽有時會成為一面有用的鏡子。

 后面講到關心別人的方式就是別人關心你的方式，所以我們需要耐心，同情心和理解。

 根據下文他們要么帶你上去要么帶你下來，可知，你朋友的態度就像電梯的按鈕。
