Should friends be different or the same? Different people have different ideas. The following is what four of my classmates say.
My name is Tina. I am outgoing. I like to have friends who are similar to me. Both my best friend Linda and I like travelling. We went to Italy（意大利） last summer holiday. We stayed there for two weeks. Next year we want to go to Paris.
My name is Clarie. I like to have friends who are different from me. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much. Betty likes sports and she plays ping-pong well.
I'm Nick. I like to have friends who are like me. It can be very helpful. I'm a little quiet and my good friend Rick is quiet too. Sometimes I don't know what to do with my problems and he can tell me what I should do, because he knows about me better than people who are different from me.
I'm Bill. I have both kinds of friends. I think it is important. That makes my life more interesting.
41. How long did Tina stay in Italy last summer?

42. Is Clarie more outgoing than Betty?

43. Who likes reading very much?

44. What does Betty like?

45. Why does Bill think it's important to have both kinds of friends?

四、语篇填空(每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据语篇内容,用所给词的适当形式完成短文。
My mother once told me that a good friend 46. (be) like a mirror. I'm quieter and 47. (serious) than most kids. That's why I enjoy 48. (read) and study hard in class. My friend Yuan Li is similar to me, and we like to study together. However, I also believe that friends don't have to be the same. Larry, for example, is taller, more outgoing, and 49. (good) at tennis than me. But he helps to bring out the best in me, and I help him with his studies. I don't care whether my friends are the same or not. What matters is that a true friend is there for you, just as the saying goes, "A true friend 50. (reach) for your hand and touches your heart."
