If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are
some “dos and don'ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys
and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public
instead of in secret.
Don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out.
First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep
doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as
others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are
rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with
each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An
apple won't taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to
carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
( )53. The main idea of the passage is to _______.
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. tell students how to make friends
D. teach boys how to talk with girls
( )54. We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.
A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship
C. in public D. in secret
( )55. If you are a shy person, you can ________.
A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex
D. not fall in love with other students easily
( )56. A person at adolescence is ________.
A. complicated(复杂的)in feelings
B. good at making friends with each other
C. old enough to fall in love
D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.
( )57. According to the passage, plants need ______ things to grow well.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
