1.
I was never very neat, while my
roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of
her objects had its place, but mine
always hid somewhere. She even labeled
(
贴标签)
everything.
I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate
got neater and I got messier.
She would
push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my
books on her tidy desk. We
both got
tired of each other.
War broke out one
evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard
her screaming,
“Take your shoes away!
Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying
at me. I
jumped to my feet and started
yelling. She yelled back louder.
The
room was filled with anger. We could not have
stayed together for a single minute
but
for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end
of the conversation, I could tell
right
away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung
up, she quickly crawled
(
爬)
under
her
covers,
sobbing.
Obviously,
that
was
something
she
should
not
go
through
alone. All of a
sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my
heart.
Slowly,
I
collected
the
pencils,
took
back
the
books,
made
my
bed,
cleaned
the
socks
and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so
into my work that I even didn’t
notice
Kate
had
sat
up.
She
was
watching,
her
tears
dried
and
her
expression
one
of
disbelief.
Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I
looked up into her eyes. She
smiled at
me,
“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the
rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but
we learned the key to living
together
:
giving in, cleaning
up and holding on.

Friendships
can
be
difficult
—because
often
people
aren’t
as
honest
and
open
as
they should be. Sometimes, people end
up getting hurt.
Most problems with
friendships come up because people are just too
selfish to care
about the things that
their friends need. They care about their own
needs much more,
which makes it hard
for friendships to work. However, being selfish is
part of human
nature. A person is put
together in order to take care of himself and his
own needs, not
necessarily those needs
of other people. Even though being selfish is
something that all
humans are born
with, it is something that everyone should guard
against.
The best thing to remember
when you are a friend to anyone is that you need
to
treat your friend the same way as
you
,
d like to be treated.
This is wonderful advice for
a
friendship’because
it
is
really
the
only
way
to
make
sure
that
you
are
giving
your
friend
everything
you
would
want
to
be
given
in
a
friendship.
Whenever
you
have
a
question
about
how
you
should
treat
a
friend,
it
is
easy
to
find
an
answer
simply
by
asking yourself what you would like
your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your
shoes.
- 2 -
Even if you’re always
thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and
your friends
are
too,
there
are
issues
that
come
up
from
time
to
time
in
each
friendship,
and
it
is
important
to understand how to deal with these issues so
that you can build stronger and
healthier
friendships.
Is-sues
like
friends
getting
boyfriends
or
girlfriends
and
not
spending
enough
time
with
their
friends,
or
even
friends
finding
new
friends
and
leaving old friends behind are issues
that will probably come up with one or more of
your friendships. It is important to
know how to deal with these issues so that you can
keep your friends and make new ones. No
one wants to have a broken friendship.

Online
shopping
has
become
more
and
more
popular
these
years.
Women
have
jumped
ahead of men for the first time in using the
Internet to do their holiday shopping,
according to a study published last
week in the US.
For
years
men
have
been
more
likely
to
shop
on
the
Internet
than
women,
but
during
the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those
shopping online were women.
“It shows
how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee
Rainie,
director of the
Pew
Internet and American Life Project group, which
carried out the study. Rainie said
it
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
women
shoppers
caught
up
with
men.
This
is
because
women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online
to save time. Internet users between the ages 18
and 29 were responsible for some of the
surprising increase in the online gift- buying
population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US
Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in
2013. They
worried
about
credit card
security(
安全)
,
or
just compared online
prices
with off-line prices, then dashed off
to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online,
websites are becoming
promotion(
促销)
tools for store
s
,
’
,
sa
id Dan Hess’vice president of
Com Score
Network Inc. Hess said
that actually
most stores
,
websites can
make customers fully believe the security of their
credit card numbers. And most are able
to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
It
’
s
all
about
making
the
shopping
experience
more
efficient,
more
reliable
and
more
comfortable,” Hess said.

A. There were fewer women online
shoppers than men in 2013.

Most people know the feeling when you
walk into a lift(
电梯)
with
other people. A
study has found that
where people stand is based on their social
position on entering the
lift.
Rebekah Rousi
,
a
Ph. D. student, did a study of lift behavior in
two of the tallest
office buildings in
Adelaide, Australia. As part of her research, she
took a total of 30 lift
rides in the
two buildings, and discovered there was a fixed
order about where people
chose to
stand.
In
her
research
paper,
she
wrote
that
more
senior
men
seemed
to
walk
straight
towards the back of
the lift. She said, “In front of them were younger
men, and in front
of
them
were
women
of
all
ages.
”
She
also
noticed
there
was
a
difference
in
the
direction where people looked during
the ride. “Men watched the monitors, looked in
the side mirrors (in one building) to
see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the
other
building)
to
watch
others.
Women
would
watch
the
monitors
and
avoid
looking
into
others
,
eyes
(unless in conversations) and the mirrors.
”
Rebekah
Rousi
concluded
that
shyer
people
stand
toward
the
front
,
where
they
can’t see other
passengers
,
while
fearless people stand in the back, where they have
a
good view of everyone else.
(1) According to the study, where
people stand in a lift is decided by ________.
A. their social position
B.
the monitors
C. other passengers
D.
others’
position
