"Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability .
　　Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
　　At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
　　Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
　　There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
　　When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
50. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
　　A. understanding.　　 B. honesty.
　　C. reliability. 　　 D. a sense of humor.

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say．Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth．Well, maybe．But in America, time is more than that．Americans see time as a valuable resource．Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it．People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management．It seems they all want to organize their time better．Professionals carry around pocket planners（计划书） — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines．People do all they can to press more life out of their time.
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time．Being more than 10 minutes l
