Have you ever wanted a friend who can solve problems with magic(有魔力的) tricks? Well, a round-headed blue robotic cat is the friend you are looking for.

Doraemon(哆啦A梦) is a cartoon character created in the 1970s by Japanese cartoonist Fujiko F. Fujio (藤子·F 不二雄).

Starting from Dec 1, on the birthday of Fujio, Doraemon is returning in a new comic series. This is the first new Doraemon since it ended eight years ago.

In the story, Doraemon comes from the 22nd century. He becomes friends with a fourth-grade boy called Nobita Nobi who is like you and your classmates. He has quarrels with his friends, is blamed by his mother, and gets a headache from his homework. But luckily, Doraemon is always there to help.

If you ask what makes the Doraemon series so popular, the simple answer may lie in Doraemon’s amazing pocket that’s full of cool gadgets (小玩意儿). Anywhere Door helps Nobita go anywhere to make his dreams come true. Memory Bread, once eaten, helps him remember textbooks quickly. Xia Xue, 14, from Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, wished she could have one, too. “With Memory Bread,I can press it on my textbook and eat it,” Xia said. “This way, exams would be a piece of cake!”

Doraemon is also like a real person. He has a nice personality. He teaches Nobita courage and friendship. He even has a favorite food, dorayaki (铜锣烧). But sometimes, he is lazy and tells small lies. But more than that, Doraemon gives a message: the future can be likable, the present is redeemable (可补救的), and you can be happy even if you’re blue, Time magazine once commented.

This encourages children that no matter what ups and downs they have, they can always be brave and get through them.

( ) 36. From the story, we know that Doraemon is _____.

A. Nobita’s classmate B. a real person with a nice personality

C. a character from a Japanese cartoon D. a lovely cat with blue fur

A. remember textbooks quickly B. go anywhere and make his dreams come true

( ) 39. What can kids learn from Doraemon?

D

The last time I saw my best friend was about a year and a half ago. It was her 16th birthday, and I flew hundreds of miles to see her. It was a total movie moment. She came into the room, and suddenly I jumped out of the closet and screamed, “Happy Birthday!”

As someone who’s had a lot of practice maintaining a long-distance friendship, I thought I’d share some tips with you.

·Video chat

Talking to your friends often keeps the friendship going! If the phone call doesn’t always include a deep conversation, that’s fine. Sometimes friendship is about knowing that someone’s on the other line.

·Keep sharing everything

Spare no details, no matter how insignificant they seem. It’s a lot easier to pretend your best friend is there with you if you share the same information you would share in person.

·Be there for them

Here’s the deal: Life happens. While you probably won’t be able to be there for your friend as much as you used to, it is worth it to lose an hour of sleep when they need help.

·Space is also OK

People need space, and that’s fine. If the friendship is strong enough, going a little while without talking won’t hurt.

·Presents!

This is a fun one and a must. It’s always the thought that counts. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but it will let them know you are thinking about them.

·Be ready for growth

Realize that people change and that your friends won’t stay the same no matter how much you want them to. Though your friend might start to seem more and more like a different person, criticism won’t strengthen your friendship. You’re changing too.

( )41. How many tips are mentioned to help you maintain a long-distance friendship?

A. Four B. Five C. Six D. Seven

( )42. What does the underlined word “insignificant” mean?

A. useful B. important C. necessary D. unimportant

( )43. Which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. Sometimes friendship is about knowing that someone’s on the other line.

B. It is worth it to lose an hour of sleep when you friends need help.

C. The present is a fun one and a must and have to be a lot.

D. Presents will let your friends know you are thinking about them.

( )44. After growing up, we should realize ______ .

A. our friend might seem the same as before

B. our friends won’t stay the same

C. the friendship is strong enough

D. criticism sometimes strengthens the friendship

( )45. Which of the following sentences may be the ending of the passage?

A. Remember to be always there for your friends.

B. Everything around us is changing, including ourselves.

C. If you want to have a long distance friendship, you’d better follow my advice and have a try.

D. let’s be friends forever.

Ⅵ.“Coming to Shenzhen, you are a volunteer and Shenzhen’s master”. Nowadays, more and more people have realized it is important to work as a volunteer and do some voluntary work. As a student, I think it’s our duty to be volunteers in our free time. And we can gain a lot from the it.

First of all, we can help those who are in need. Just as the saying goes, “Roses given, fragrance in hand.” Helping others makes us get fun in return. What’s more, it is a good chance to get close to the society and learn to how to communicate with others. In addition, when helping others we can learn more knowledge and skills to get ready for our future work. Of course, we may also make many friends when working as volunteers.

Volunteering helps us grow. It is meaningful and wonderful to be a volunteer. Let’s act now!
