Boys，like girls，need friends. Many people believe that boys need fewer friends than girls do. In fact
There are some differences in friendships between girls and boys. For example，Amy and Sarah are the best friends. They walk to school together every morning，and always eat lunch together. While they sometimes read books，their heads are always close together. They talk about everything. Jason and Leo are friends. Jason sometimes talks with Leo about his parents' divorce （离婚） because he knows that Leo's parents are divorced，they play ball games or talk about other things like their favorite films.
People believe that girls are better at making friends，but most boys think making friends is an important part of their lives. Boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls.
Every one of us，rich or poor，should at least have one or two good friends. Your friends will listen to you when you speak，and will be together with you on your journey through life. Friendship can make us happier. How can we find a good friend and get on well with each other?Here is some advice.

★Believe in each other. This is the most important thing in a friendship.
And you may say something to hurt（伤害）each other. If this happens，don't let your quarrel（吵架）

Here are some ideas on listening exams. We hope they can help you.
Before you start to listen to something，you need to relax. Don't get nervous or excited. This will help you with your listening.
The first sentence tells a lot about the passage. For example，at the very beginning，if you hear "Many shops in China decided to take away all kids of Japanese goods off their shelves，you know you will hear a piece of news，not a children's story or a science report.
When you're listening，try to do something. For example，you can think of the questions：What happened?When?Where and how?What does the speaker want to tell us?By this way
It's important for you to get some important facts. For example，if the passage is a science report，you should try to remember its findings.
You may hear some words that you don't know，but don't spend too much time on thinking about them. Very often，you'll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening. Some words or sentences will help you understand these new words. .
（a）根据短文内容，从方框中选出每段的主旨大意。
A. Remember some important facts. B. Don't spend too much time on new words C. Think when you are listening. D. Don't be nervous and relax yourself. E. Listen to the first sentence carefully. |
（b）根据短文内容，补全下面的表格，每空不超过两词。
▲How to do well in |
▲It's better for you to when you begin to have a listening exam |
▲Pay attention to the first sentence. It will tell you a lot about the passage |
▲Trying to think of some questions that can help you understand the passage . |
▲When you are listening，it's for you to remember some facts. |
▲You mustn't about one or two words for too long when you are listening. |
