When do we call someone a very good friend? If we 34 for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we 35 most of our thoughts with a person, he or she is our good friend. We can always 36 our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will 37 why we acted in a certain way. We need not 38 anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so 39 , that most of the things are understood by our friends. What about 40 ? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love 41 all this. During love, we are 42 to a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many 43 . A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets 44 if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a 45 element. Friendship does not have that. This is a(n) 46 difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.

According to Alex Honnold, who is known internationally for free soloing (徒手独爬), its no big deal! But many climbers disagree. In fact, free soloing is so dangerous that less than 1% of climbers ever attempt it. Honnold grew up in California around a climbing culture and started climbing at 10. He would go to a climbing gym six days a week for three hours a day. Hannold was a straight-A student in school. But climbing was his main interest, and free soloing quickly became his favorite style. Since those early days, the 27-year-old has made over a thousand climbs. He is considered by many to be the best climber in the world. Experienced climber John Long says over half of the well-known free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Honnolds greatest achievement is that hes still alive! Hannold climbs by fitting his fingers into cracks of the rock face. With most of his weight supported by his fingers alone, he pulls himself up. However, his ability to stay concentrated is as important as his strength. Other climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a rope is a huge challenge to face. Everyone knows that a single mistake would probably cause death. One of Honnolds greatest achievements occurred in Californias Yosemite National Park. He became the first free solo climber to climb up the 2,000-foot northwest face of Half Dome. Along with praise comes a lot of criticism. Many believe he is taking too many risks. Honnold replies, “I dont think Ill do this forever. But I dont think I will stop because of the risk. Ill stop because I lose the love for it. 51. According to the text, Alex Honnold _. A. was a good student in schoolB. thinks free soloing isnt dangerous at all C. spent 20 hours a week in a climbing gymD. is the youngest free solo climber in the world 52. According to John Long, Alex Honnold _. A. is encouraging the development of free soloingB. doesnt need any safety equipment C. is the best climber in the worldD. has good luck in free soloing 53. From Alex Honnolds words at the end of the text, we can infer that he _. A. cant take criticism B. will stop doing free soloing C. knows theres danger in free soloing D. give other climbers a lot of praise (B)Girls and boys usually attend classes together in American public schools. But there are some single-sex programs, like a girls public school in Dallas, Texas. It opened in . The students have done well enough that the school system is now opening a school for boys. The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy is part of the Dallas Independent School District. The school year begins Monday. Academy Principal Nakia Douglas has been giving tours to incoming students and their parents. He says, “This wing here will be our electives specifically all of our foreign languages: Latin, Mandarin, Spanish. Our debate will be housed here. Mr. Douglas says he was the kind of student that the school is seeking. He says, “I was born and raised in south Dallas by a single parent. I was a neighborhood child. I was that child that I would work if I knew the teacher believed in me. But, at the same time, I had a hunger and desire for more. A lot of our young men have that hunger, desire and ability now. Educational researchers say boys learn in different ways and mature more slowly than girls, and are more likely to leave school. Being in class with the opposite sex can also take attention away from learning.Kendal Keeter thinks the boys school will be good for his son the way the girls school was for his daughter. He says, “Our thought was to also give our son an opportunity that would best prepare him for college in the same manner she was prepared, and I cant imagine any other option that would have prepared her better. Another parent, Madeline Hayes, also likes the idea of a publicly funded school for boys. He says, “This is something, as cheesy (俗气的) as it sounds, that Ive always dreamed about, that there will be a boys school that doesnt charge 25,000 dollars a year, but would give the same academics, the same level of interaction and leadership. The school is for grades six through nine. It will offer college preparatory classes and leadership courses even on weekends. Principal Douglas says the boys will be urged to support one another. He says, “Our young men grow together. But all of our young men we call brother. So it may be Brother Marlyk Davis or Brother Samuel Keeper. The young men understand they are their brothers keeper. And so the young men are really learning to be responsible not only for themselves, but also for their brothers here at the campus. Madeline Hayes son Kelvin is twelve. He will be entering the seventh grade. The boy says, “Ive always wanted a higher academic purpose, always want somebody to challenge me when I make my mistakes. I can learn from them. And then they have classes like science, computer and robotics, and I enjoy especially robotics and building new technology, because when I grow up I want to be an engineer. Fourteen-year-old Malyk Davis will study cooking, or “culinary art at the Obama Academy in Dallas. He has already learned from a professional chef. However, he was not so sure he wanted to attend a school only for boys, and he heard bad things about the area. He says, “But once I began to look into more about the options that they were having, I think Im really going to enjoy this. Its going to be a long and tough road, but as long as Im graduating in , thats all that matters to me. Most students who want to be accepted into the Obama Academy will need to have good grades and pass a number of tests. But ten to fifteen percent will not have to meet all of the entrance requirements. Principal Nakia Douglas says they will have to show they have a strong character and a desire to learn. 54.
