In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid. But if some change in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface. 28. The cause for the great heat inside of the earth is______.

A. great pressure of the earth’s outer layers

B. the heat left from the time when the earth was formed C. radioactive elements giving out heat D. not sure

A. the pressure of the rock itself B. the pressure of the rock above

30. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The farther down, the hotter the earth gets. B. The rock deep in the earth is liquid.

Taking the time to keep a friendship is worth every moment. The following tips can help you keep a trusting friendship.

Be dependable. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy(值得依赖的) way. We all know some people who say, “Okay, I will?” but never follow through. If that’s you, know that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. 31

Be real. Connect with people whom you value on a deep level if you want to have long-term friendships. Make friends with people you can be yourself around. 32 . Be open to differences in opinions and style－that’s what makes friendships interesting. If your behaviors lacks sincerity(真诚), your friendship won’t last.

Be loyal (忠诚的). If your friend tells you something as a secret, don’t talk about it with anyone else, just as you’d expected your friendship to do for you. 33

34 . Good friends show respect for each other by being openly and mutually(相互地) supportive. If your friend has certain values and beliefs which you don’t agree with, respect his or her choices and be open to hearing more about them. Sometimes your friend will say things that you find boring or comfortable, but if you have respect for your friend, you’ll give your friend the space to speak, and to do so without judgment.

35 . Therefore, you should be there for your friend during hard times, and deepen a friendship to make it last.

A. Be respectful. B. Be understanding.

C. Each friendship you keep is priceless.

D. Finally they’ll stop believing what you say.

E. And don’t discuss your friend behind his or her back.

F. You have a responsibility to help your friend be himself or herself, too. G. People who don’t have good friends sometimes like to ruin other people’s friendships.
