Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment. Children’s relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school, and children with fewer friends are more at risk

of dropping out of school, becoming depressed and other problems.

Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play

When 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning, her eyes immediately searched the playground for her friend Abbie. “Though they were only separated by a weekend, the girls ran right into each other’s arms and hugged,” recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn. “It was like a scene from a movie.”

Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.

A Skill for Life

“Childhood friendships act as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr. Adler, psychologist with the

Center for Children’s Health & Life Development.

Researcher William Hartup states, “Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive ( 认知的) development.” Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child gets along with other children.

The work of Arizona State University proves that being able to make and keep friends is good for kids while the lack of friends is detrimental.

Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen

Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish high-quality friendships. But, researchers warn, these

don’t necessarily just happen. Often, a good friendship begins with involved parents. Psychologist Dr. Lynne friendships

believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.

Bad Friendships

Many parents worry about the quality as well as the number of their child’s friendships. “When she was in 1st grade, her supposed ‘best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her,” says Mindy Miller. “My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. It really crushed her spirit. I told my daughter she didn’t need a

‘friend’ like that.”

“I’ll try my best to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him,” Adler says. “I don’t look at it as control, just positive parental involvement.”

71. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to show that

_. A. childhood friendship is very important to their growth

B. friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems

C. friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life

D. Rachel missed her friend because they hadn’t been together for too long

72. The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by

_. C. hopeless

_.

D. harmful

A. unpleasant

B. disappointing

73. According to the passage, high-quality friendship most probably comes from A. social skills and good study habits

B. school grades and classroom behaviors

C. academic success and social adaptation

D. positive parental involvement and social skills

74. We can infer from the passage that

. A. To make and keep friends is to play with them B. The more successful one is, the more friends he has

C. Social skills is the same important as maths and reading

D. Parents should control the number of friends their children have

75. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr. Adler agrees that

. A. parents should take making friends as something that just happens

B. it’s wise of parents to support and encourage healthy peer friendships

C. parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult problems

D. parents should encourage their children to make as many friends as they can

Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears

attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I 76 learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I

could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but

once you find your own

77 , you fly faster and farther without relying on them. 78 their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the In the field of entertainment, our culture praises celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they _80

screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad

character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not imitation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, _81_ by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is

not running out of material; it is 82 to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. 76777879808182

Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to inspire listeners t 85_ . However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on

September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band’s music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times.

The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the l 86 where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a

zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images.

Recently, to c 87 the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation.

Pop groups come and go. The boy band applauded by crazy fans one year will be f _88 the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have lasted. Why? Paul McCartney’s biographer Barry Miles has an
