Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age.Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom,the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It's the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you.As Jim Rohn has widely said. "You are average (平均) of five people you spend the most time with."

    Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, it Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with

the book I'm writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better,and he holds me to that standard.

    It's because that I don't know what I don't know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.

    Like Ryan,my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have.He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers.He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years.Richard always performs at high levels,and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure (压力) to help me make great progress in organizing author training.

    In a word,you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential.Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change.If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can't ignore this.

(1)Why did the writer quote (引用) Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1  

A.To support the writer's opinion.

B.To introduce the writer's best friend.

C.To show Jim Rohn's working ability.

D.To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.

(2)Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3  

A. It's not that my workmates' abilities are low.

B. It's not that my working ability was born low.

C. It's not that' e friends based on proximity.

D. It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book.

(3)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)?  

A. The writer's performance.

B. Jim Rohn's famous saying.

C. Richard's different experience.

D. Richard's strictness with the writer.

(4)The writer mainly wants to tell us that

Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals (目标) that we set for ourselves. Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts (梗概) of a text. Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original (原来的) text of yourself.

    I recently finished reading a thick book of W. Somerset Maugham's collected short stories. It took me around ten years to get through. Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative (建设性的) experience. There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read. But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.

    Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (怀旧之情) and pride. I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived.

    Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual (真正的) book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination (目的地).

(1)What does the writer mainly want to say?  

A. Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature.

B. Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading.

C. Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages.

D. The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading.

(2)What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph?  

A. He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories.

B. A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him.

C. He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books.

D. He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book.

(3)In the third paragraph the writer   his main point of view (主要观点).

A. explains the meaning of

B. provides further support for

C. makes a conclusion of

D. offers an opposite example for

What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 US kids answered this question in an online poll (投票) by KidsHealth.org.

    Many US kids ﹣ two out of three ﹣ said they get along with their parents. But that doesn't mean they never disagree. In fact, most kids reported arguing with their parents,at least sometimes.And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other.

    "It's certainly normal to disagree and argue," says Darcy Lyness, an American expert. "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully (尊重地). Be patient. Don't use a raised, angry voice."

    And not surprisingly, three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness,lying isn't just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust.

    Telling the truth, says Lyness, shows maturity (成熟).But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more,but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents.

    According to Lyness, those feelings are common.As kids become more independent (独立),they have more areas of disagreement with their parents.But it doesn't have to be that way."Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey," she says. "As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change."
