阅读理解训练题（十四）

A

Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences

above are opposite and seem

to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first

refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to

wrong ways.

My ideal(

理想的

) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below-he has

no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(

节俭

). He studies hard so as

not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he

respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to

him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With

his help I am free from all difficulties,

Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never

know the existence of the word

Life

gets

noisier

every

day

and

very

few

people

can

be

free

from

noise

of

some

sort

or

another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the

chances are that you' 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We

seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music

while they' re working.

Scientific

tests

have

shown

that

total

silence

can

be

a

very

frightening

experience

for

a

human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can

do harm to their eardrums(

耳鼓

). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level

for heavy industrial areas.

recent

report

about

noise

and

concentration(

专心

)

suggested

lot

of

say

that

any

noise

disturbs

their

concentration,

what

influences

their

ability

to

concentrate

change

in

noise

which
