Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend
●Show respect for their life choices and decisions
Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices，have different views on politics and religion，and act differently in many ways. This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 1.
●Give them the benefit of the doubt
2.If you’re in doubt about something，ask your friend. Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感).
●Give friends your full attention
One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully. Allow them to pause，convey nonverbal communication clues，collect their thoughts，and get it all out. Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 3.When your friend is talking，pay attention.
● 4.
Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them.
●Show up，be there，and do what you say you’re going to do
5. So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time，keeping promises，and being the one friend they can always count on. That’s the way to truly show respect.
A. Assumptions can be a dangerous thing.

D. Tell your friends what you think about them directly.

Punks，Ravers，Mods and Teddy Boys. No，these aren’t some hot new bands，but the names of a number of British youth subcultures from the last 70 years. Youth Club，a UK not-for-profit organization，released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain’s recent history.
“A catalyst(催化剂)for creativity on the worldwide stage，British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the Grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music，fashion and creativity across the globe，” it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young “punks”—people dressed in ripped denim，leather jackets，body piercings and with brightly-dyed hair on the streets. And in the 90s，“ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So，what was the reason behind these subcultures?
“On both sides of the Atlantic，more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and restrictions of society，”wrote Ian Youngs，BBC entertainment reporter. “Unemployment，racial tensions and social changes added fuel to their fires. ”
Youth subcultures have almost disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the Internet age. “Fashion and music，they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today，” Ruth Adams，a culture lecturer at King’s College London told The Guardian.
“When I was a teenager，you had to stick to one type of music or fashion，because it cost more money. Now，it's all a bit vaguer，”she said，believing that it's harder to figure out someone’s personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.
Despite this，Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves，but in a more modern way. “It’s certainly happening online，”she said. “It’s a lot easier to use personas(伪装)online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge. ”

The Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans has added an unconventional course to its curriculum. Medical students can now take cooking classes in addition to their usual training. This is intended to improve doctors’ nutritional knowledge and encourage them to use food to prevent or cure illnesses.
According to a survey，most medical students in the U.S. receive on average 20 hours of nutritional education throughout their entire education. This is an extremely low number，especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核心 )of many modern Western diseases. From Type 2 diabetes，heart disease，reflux to obesity，allergies，depression and arthritis，eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery，while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.
A big part of the problem is that nutritional guidelines in North America are vague，impractical，and difficult to apply. Everyone，from doctors to schoolchildren，learns about specific nutrients and percentages of recommended daily intakes，but that doesn’t translate easily to the grocery store.
Training doctors to cook，however，takes nutritional education to a whole new level. Not only will doctors be able to explain which foods are best to eat，but they will also understand how to prepare them. Tulane medical students prepare for teaching future patients by offering free cooking classes to New Orleans residents—a mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone who shares that food.
Fortunately，the model seems to be catching on. Already two other medical schools have licensed the curriculum and are adding it to their courses. Tulane also offers nutritional training for health-focused chefs from a nearby cooking school，which makes a lot of sense. After all，with the frequency with which North Americans eat out，we could all benefit from chefs who know how to balance nutrition with great taste.
1.What does the author want to tell us by listing the diseases in Paragraph 2?
A. Proper diets help cure them. B. Proper diets can replace drugs.
C. They are difficult to treat. D. They are typical western diseases.
2.What’s the author’s attitude towards the present nutritional guidelines in America?
A. Amazed. B. Confused.
C. Dissatisfied. D. Interested.
3.What can we know about the course from the last paragraph?
A. It will benefit chefs. B. It is becoming popular.
C. It has a long way to go. D. It encourages eating out.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Take a Cooking Course B. Learn to Be a Good Doctor
C. Live Your Life to the Full D. Let Food Be Your Medicine
