　　A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent(弯曲) down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air — out of sigh t. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.

　　So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.

Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Before this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”

　　She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging(恳求) her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if _________, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”

　　34. The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.

　　A. get his kitty down from the tree B. persuade his kitty to come down

　　C. feed the kitty D. see if the rope was strong enough

　　35. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that the priest __________.

　　A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty

　　B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat

　　C. thought his kitty might be lost or killed

　　D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more

　　Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendship doesn’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lost your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K] Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, such as your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your f riend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.

　　Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

　　No two friendship are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honestly, generously and understandingly.
