There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and he or she also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.
You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays. Wish your friends or give gifts to them on these special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider, but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
Help the friends. A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient. So have a helping hand ready at all times.
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer. So, if you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can remain in contact（联系）. You can use such modern technology as email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your distant friends.
If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable, congratulate them and celebrate with them.
I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen very often, it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.
As far as I have seen and experienced, it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend. Of course, we have to do this with friends. But, attention should be paid. Otherwise it may end the friendship.
How to Keep Your Friendship 71.______
72. ______ Details
Trust Don’t doubt your good friend so that he or she will treat you 73. ______.

第二节 阅读简答 （共4小题，共10分）
根据短文内容，按要求回答下面的问题。
The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and correct the mistakes without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.
For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my English teacher asked us to do some research on the Internet. I tried Google first, and finally found a wonderful article on Time. com.
For geography homework on the United States, I used Yahoo to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy(影响经济). For example, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect local people’s jobs and incomes.
I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big research project, I used to stay at the library to read books or magazines that I needed. Now being able to find the information at home makes everything a lot easier and simpler(更简单). Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.
Sometimes, I think the computer spoils(宠坏) my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.
81. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3 words)
82. Why doesn’t the writer go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)
83. How does the writer complete a big research project at present? (no more than 10 words)
84. Why does the author prefer using a computer? (no more than 11 words)

第三节 书面表达
Dear Xiao Wei,
I’m sorry to hear that you have difficulty getting along well with your parents. Don’t worry.
It is a common problem. You say that your parents do not listen to you. You feel very angry about this. I think you’d better have a good talk with them. In this way, you can explain how you feel. You should listen to them as they love you most.
It is true that you need time to be alone. However, you should make an effort to do what your parents ask. And of course, you must work hard at your study. Your study is important to your future.
Both being a teenager and being a parent can be very difficult. However, don’t give up. Communicate with them more and you can find many problems can be solved.
Best regards.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
