A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter. One night they camped in an open air with a starry sky above. The elder villager, following the tradition passed down from ancestors, took out three blocks(塊) of salt and threw them into the campfire to tell the change of weather in the mountains.
All people waited for the old man's "weather report": if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound(爆裂聲), they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.
The elder villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. He urged the whole team to set out immediately. A young man in the group thought it absurdly(荒謬地)superstitious(迷信的) to "forecast the weather by using salt".
It was not until the next afternoon, the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm coming. In fact, the method used by the elder man could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity(濕度).That is to say, when a snowstorm approaches, lead to high humidity, the salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.
Young people often don’t mind the philosophy(哲學(xué)) of the old, regarding their ideas as out date and useless. To be honest, however, some beliefs in life are just like salt blocks that are distilled(蒸餾) from the sea: old as they are, they remain crystals(結(jié)晶), and carry with them deep memories of the sea.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述了一個故事，通過這個故事作者告訴我們，現(xiàn)在很多年輕人覺得老年人的一些做法是過時的，沒有用的。但其實很多時候這些個想法是很有道理的。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的開頭A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter.可知村民們帶著鹽去城里賣，為了能買食物過冬。由此可知選B。
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第二段中if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound(爆裂聲), they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.可知，那個老一點的村民用他們傳統(tǒng)的方法來預(yù)知天氣情況：如果把鹽扔到火里，發(fā)出爆裂聲，就會有好天氣；如果沒有聲音，就意味著風(fēng)暴隨時會來。故選B。
【小題3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中A young man in the group thought it absurdly(荒謬地)superstitious(迷信的) to "forecast the weather by using salt"可知，一個年輕人不相信這種用鹽來預(yù)測天氣的作法，他覺得這很荒謬。故選C。
【小題4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文的大意和劃線單詞所在的句子That is to say, when a snowstorm approaches, lead to high humidity, the salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire可知，這種用鹽預(yù)測天氣的作法是有科學(xué)依據(jù)的。當風(fēng)暴來臨的時候，濕度變高，鹽塊在火里就不會發(fā)出聲音。approach來臨，到來。故選A。
【小題5】主旨大意題。最后一段中作者通過這個故事告訴我們，很多年輕人都覺得一些老人的作法是沒有道理的，其實一些古老的想法就像從海里蒸餾出來的鹽塊一樣，雖然時間很長了，但卻是很有道理的。故D選項最符合這一段的意思。

Making friends might seem to come easy for some persons, but it’s maybe very hard for most persons. No matter how many friends you might already have, it is always a good idea to make new friends.
Being shy keeps a lot of people from making friends. Also, making friends might need a person to step outside of their comfortable places, which are hard for a lot of people, whether they are shy or not. However, overcoming the shyness to step out of your box is an important step in making friends.
There are lots of ways to meet new friends. First of all, remember that a good friendship is based on interests, so if you are ready to make friends, start to join clubs or go places where you have interest. For instance, if you like to play sports, join a sports team or after school sports club. If you have interests in music or writing, join clubs or organizations that you are interested in. When you see someone in a place like that, and you think that they look nice, it is always a good idea to go up to them and introduce yourself and ask interesting questions so that you can start a conversation. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and remember that friendships don't always happen quickly.
Some friendships happen right away, and you'll be able to tell if someone will be a great friend right after you meet them. Some friendships take a long time to develop. Anyway, the friends that you meet are going to be worth it. If a friendship develops quickly, it doesn't mean that it is extra valuable, and if a friendship takes a long time to develop, it doesn't mean that it isn't worth it because it's too hard.
Making friends might be a bit difficult for you, and the friends you will make may not look anything like you. However, even though it might be scary to start conversations, you are worth doing it. All friendships start with a single hello.

Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb(拇指）”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.
Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.”
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?
Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.
Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

Joan worked in a hospital. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work that evening while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself.
She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Dick. Dick was only eleven years old, but he had a very serious illness and couldn’t move most parts of his body except his hands. Joan knew Dick would never get any better, but the little boy was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself.
