1. (2023九下·吉林月考)  阅读理解

When you and your friends turn to each other to talk about problems or trouble, you give each other advice and help. One important thing of our growth is to make decisions to help our friends and learn to support each other. This requires us to learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways. 

The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help. We all know that difficulties are part of our daily lives. It's important to make sure when to help a friend. For example, you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves. These signs show they may not be well. Of course, sometimes small things can lead to more serious problems that require more help, because you and your friends can't solve them. Then turning to a parent or a teacher is a good choice.

The next step toward helping others is to listen. Paying attention to others while listening is very important throughout our life. As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their views. Listening and paying attention to others when they speak is a sign of respect and a skill. 

The last step toward helping others is to give advice at a proper time. When we communicate with others, we need to learn when to speak and when not to. Sometimes being listened to is enough for your friends. They just want someone to understand them and listen to them. It' s not necessary for them to get any advice. If you have some advice, you should make sure that your friends really need it.

Following the tips above can lead to deeper and better relationships between you and your friends.
