TheLittleMermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio (《木偶奇遇记》), a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.
Teaching values is the reason most often given for encouraging children to read stories. These fairy tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that are accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.

2．解析：选A 根据关键词的原则，A项中的card与小标题Ask for their business card呼应。
3．解析：选G 根据本节“ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name”可知选G。
4．解析：选B 本节小标题是：视觉化。所以此空选B：给这个名字配上插图。此题容易误选F，但是F项没有说明image和name的关系，所以还是B项合适。
5．解析：选EE项中的John和前一句的John呼应，而且这两句话都是讲在对话中多多使用别人的名字。

选择朋友要经过周密考察，要经过命运的考验，不论是对其意志力还是理解力都应事先检验，看其是否值得信赖。此乃人生成败之关键，但世人对此很少费心。虽然多管闲事也能带来友谊，但大多数友谊则纯靠机遇。人们根据你的朋友判断你的为人：智者永远不与愚者为伍。乐与某人为伍，并不表示他是知已。有时我们对一个人的才华没有信心，但仍能高度评价他的幽默感。有的友谊不够纯洁，但能带来快乐；有些友谊真挚，其内涵丰富，并能孕育成功。一位朋友的见识比多人的祝福可贵得多。所以朋友要精心挑选，而不是随意结交。聪明的朋友则会驱散忧愁，而愚蠢的朋友会聚集忧患。此外，若想让友谊地久天长。这需要技巧和判断力。有的朋友需近处，有的则需远交。不善言谈的朋友可能擅长写信。距离能净化近在身边无法容忍的缺陷。交友不宜只图快乐，也要讲求实用。一位朋友等于一切。世间任一美好事物的三大特点，友谊兼而有之：真、善、专一。良友难遇，如不挑选则更难求。保住老朋友，比结交新朋友更重要。交友当寻可长久之友，如得其人，今日之新交，他年自成老友。最好的朋友是那些历久常新，能与之共享生活体验者。没有朋友的人生是一片荒原。友谊使欢乐加倍，痛苦减半；它是应对厄运的不二良方，是可以滋润心田的美酒。
