Nick was a proud（自负的）boy. He thought that he was the best in everything he did. Whenever he lost, he would always find excuses.
One Friday, Randy and Jack, Nick s classmates, came to the playground to play badminton. Jack was much better at badminton than Randy. After about half an hour, Randy said to Jack, “Oh, I need to take a rest（休息）. I have to say that you are really good at this game.” Nick heard this. He laughed out loud and said, “Randy, that s because you are really bad at the sport. You always lose. I am the best of the three of us.” Then, he asked Jack if he would like to play with him. Jack said, “OK.” Then, the two began to play.
As a tall boy, Nick showed great skill（技巧）at playing badminton. It was not easy for Jack to win, but still, he won the game. To Jack s surprise, Nick said, “I can win if I have a racket（球拍）as good as yours.” However, Jack didn t think so. He said, “Let s swap rackets to play again.”
Unluckily for Nick, he still lost the game even with Jack s racket. This time round, Nick had no excuses. He lowered his head and planned（打算）to leave.

You are a skilled player, too.” Hearing this, Nick learned that he should not be too proud because there would always be somebody better than him.

Some people say that “Birds of a feather flock together（物以类聚）”. But others believe that “opposites attract（异性相吸）”.
The similarity idea suggests that we are attracted to people like ourselves, because we share the same thoughts, the same interests and the same talents. The opposite idea suggests that people are attracted to others who are really different. Sometimes we are attracted to other people because they have qualities that we don t have. For example, a quiet person, who is unhappy about being shy, may be attracted to an outgoing person because the quiet person hopes to be more like the outgoing person.
A friendship has a greater chance to last long when friends have similar attitudes（态度）. It makes no difference if they have different likes and dislikes about food, movies or music. Indeed, it would be very boring if everyone had the same ideas. But it is much harder for a friendship to move on when there are differences in ideas about serious subjects such as cultural（文化的）differences.
We feel much safer when being with people who like what we like. These people are really telling us that we are right to like that thing. After a test, we would like to be with people who have the same answers as ours. Next time you do a test, see how afterwards you like talking to other people who give the same answers as yours!
26.Why are we attracted to people like ourselves
A. Because we have many things in common（相同）.
B. Because we always have our own thoughts.
C. Because the saying “opposites attract” is not right.
D. Because we both like to share our interests with others.
27.The underlined word “ suggests” means ________.
A. shows B. dislikes C. makes D. decides
28.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3
A. Friends should have the same ideas, or they will be very bored.
B. If friends have different likes, their friendship will go to an end.
C. If friends have similar attitudes, they must have a long-lasting friendship.
D. A friendship may not move on if friends think differently about serious subjects.
29.The writer supports（支持）his idea in Paragraph 4 by ________.
A. giving numbers B. giving examples
C. using some sayings D. telling stories
30.Which of the following can be the best title
A. How a Friendship Lasts Long
B. Different Ideas about Friendship
C. Friends: Similar or Different
D. What Kind of Friends Do You Want

Friendship in My Heart
Friendship is like sunshine in my life. Friends always help us when we are in need.
My best friend is my classmate Jack. He is tall and thin and he looks quite clever. Jack is an interesting and warm-hearted boy. He is always ready to help others. He studies very hard. When I have difficulties in learning, he always helps me. I was bad at English last year. He came to my house and helped me with it every day. With his help, I finally got good grades.
I think a true friend is someone who can help you when you are in trouble. I like Jack so much and hope our friendship will last forever.
