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 Care and Keeping of Friends” by American author 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 friends? 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(抱怨) and do their best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to them. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
Sally says 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. The book also has advice on some small but important things like celebrating your friends’ success.  Even if you haven’t had a real friend before, you will start to think of having one if you read this book. Because the book tells that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Legend has it that an apple which fell from its branches was the inspiration for Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity(引力). But now history’s famous fruit tree is paying the price of fame.                            
The thousands of visitors drawn to Sir Isaac’s childhood home each year could be damaging the tree. A willow barrier(圍欄)has been put around the tree. It means visitors to the 17th century Woolsthorpe Manor, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, will no longer be able to sit under its branches as Newton was said to have been doing in 1665 when “the notion of gravitation came to mind.”
The National Trust, which owns the small manor(莊園)where Newton was born in 1642, said the 2ft-high barrier was designed to preserve the tree. Official Ann Moynihan said there had been no damage so far but warned that there could soon be a problem.“Visitor numbers have gone up by around 50 percent, to 33,000 a year in three years. The more people who visit, the more the earth will become compacted(壓實) around the tree and over the roots. We just want to preserve the tree for another 400 years if we can.”She said visitors will still be able to take apples from the tree.
Visitor Chris Gwyther,37,said,“I suppose it is a pity that you can’t sit under the tree like Newton. But you can still see it and the tree is 400 years old, it needs saving for the future.”
Newton left no information saying he had been inspired by a falling apple. The story appeared in a book by French philosopher Voltaire published in 1727, the year Newton died at the age of 84.
小題1:Why do people go to Woolsthorpe Manor to see the apple tree?
A．Because of the story about the apple tree.
B．Because of the long history of the apple tree.
C．Because of the sweetness of the apple.
D．Because of the unusual flower of the apple tree.
小題2:What is the reason that people can’t sit under the tree like Newton?
A．The manor is too crowded to sit around.
B．Their heads will be hit by the apples.
C．A willow barrier has been put around the tree.
D．There is something wrong with the apple tree.
小題3:The underlined word preserve means “_____”.
A．keep something safeB．make something grow
C．leave something as it isD．let something be
小題4:When did Newton have the inspiration for the discovery of gravity?
A．In 1642. B．In 1665. C．In 1820.D．In 1727.
小題5:Which of the following sentences is true?
A．Newton himself wrote a letter about the story of the apple tree.
B．Newton’s family owes Woolsthorpe Manor and tells the story.
C．Visitor numbers have gone up to 32,000 every year.
D．A French philosopher wrote the apple tree story in a book.
