In the old-fashioned town of Willow brook, two friends named Emma and Liam shared an intimate bond. They were inseparable and spent every moment together, laughing, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories.
One cold winter morning, as the first snowflakes gently fell from the sky, Emma woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. She tried to brave it and get ready for school, but her body felt weak and achy. Unwillingly, she called Liam to let him know she couldn't make it to school that day.
Liam was concerned when he heard the tiredness in Emma’s voice. “Don't worry, Em. I’ll take care of everything at school for you,” he assured her. Feeling grateful for Liam's understanding, Emma forced a smile and replied, “Thank you, Liam. You're the best friend anyone could ask for.”
After school, Liam hurried to Emma's house, carrying a meal he had prepared for her. He knocked on the door, and Emma's mother welcomed him with a warm smile. “Oh, Liam, you're such a thoughtful friend,” she said.
“I brought some soup and tea for Emma. I hope it will make her feel better,” Liam replied, some concern in his eyes. Entering Emma's room, Liam found her curled up under a blanket, looking pale but relieved to see him. “Hey, I brought some comfort food to cheer you up,” he said, setting the food on her bedside table.
Emma's eyes lit up, and she smiled weakly. “You didn't have to, but thank you. This means the world to me,” she whispered. Sitting by her side, Liam kept her company, chatting softly and making her laugh despite her illness. The warmth of their friendship enveloped the room, bringing a feeling of comfort to Emma's tired soul.
As Emma regained her strength, she realized just how lucky she was to have a friend like Liam. His unwavering presence and kindness had made her recovery easier and brighter. Their friendship grew stronger with each passing day, and from that moment on, they knew they would be there for each other through thick and thin.
24. What does the underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Satisfactory. B. Informal. C. Close. D. Temporary.
25. Why didn't Emma go to school that morning
A. It was too cold to go outside. B. Liam failed to pick her up.
C. She was in a bad condition. D. School was closed for the heavy snow.
26. Which of the following can best describe Liam
A. Considerate and caring. B. Brave but lazy.
C. Selfless and active. D. Independent but stubborn.
27 What's the text mainly about
A. Emma’s illness. B. A precious friendship. C. Liam's company. D. How to help a friend.
C
Whenever my nine-year-old daughter approached me, eyes wide, with a notebook and a pen, telling me she wanted to engage in a game of school, something inside me froze. There was a mental block so huge that it felt like I was being asked by Elon Musk to make a presentation about artificial intelligence. So, nine times out of ten, I made an excuse.
Why is it so hard to play with my child I realize this is because I have no idea how to play. I have many happy memories of my youth, but absolutely none involves playing dolls or building blocks with my parents. I don't blame them because they were never played with as children either. When I ask them what their own childhoods were like, my dad tells me a story about being locked in a cupboard, while my mum recalls the box of buttons she was told to amuse herself with.
There are studies showing how important play is for a child's growth, and no end of people campaigning for our young to get more of it at school. The poet Michael Rosen, in his Book of Play, argues play is not an extra and all of us, whatever age, could do with more silliness in our lives.
As Rosen explains, “The need for adults to be productive member’s of society means we end up thinking of things that make us laugh, or which are fun to do, as not being very significant or having very little value.” This is exactly why we need to play more. It lightens the load of life and allows us to get back to a childlike state of wonder.
Play is vital to health. And it is why I've started playing school games with my daughter. I managed an entire hour and a half the other day—and afterwards, I felt happy. A good 20 years younger.
28. How did the author use to respond to her daughter's request for a game
A. She pretended to be surprised. B. She apologized for being busy.
C. She chose to avoid involvement. D. She turned to artificial intelligence.
29 What does the author focus on while giving an explanation in paragraph 2
A. The game category. B. Memory strategies.
C. The generation gap. D. Childhood experiences.
30. Which of the following would Rosen probably agree with
A. Laughter is the best medicine. B. Play is not only intended for children.
C. Thinking like a kid frees people of stress. D. Staying curious makes a productive worker.
31. What does the author want to convey in the text
A. Children grow up well in a fun environment.
B. Family interaction strengthens the parent-child tie.
C. Parents owe it to their children to play more with them.
D. Games are essential for children both at school and at home.
D
We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smart phones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem It's possible that along with the rapid development of society, we all focus on our phone and desktop, and therefore it results in our compromised conversational intelligence. However, it's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for small conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.
32. What does the underlined word “compromised” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Weakened. B. Enhanced. C. Secret. D. Natural.
33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.
C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals.
34. What can we learn about small talk from the coffee shop study
A. It made the coffee taste better. B. It reduced waiting time in line.
C. It improved people's mood and experience. D. It helped them bond with the server deeply.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Elevator manners. B. The importance of small talk.
C. Smartphones and social media. D. Developing deep relationships.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 ，其中有两项为多余选项。
You've sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community. 36 Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area — or farther afield.
Identify your values.
37 Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary (互补的) missions and opportunities. For instance, if your primary motivation is to strengthen social connections with peers, you might look to organizations such as school groups that require interaction with other parents, or neighbors.
If you're motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them. 38
Try to involve the whole family.
Many parents who volunteer turn giving back into a family munity service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness. 39 Look for volunteer engagements that welcome people of all ages and abilities, and schedule time for the whole family to participate —whether that means spending an afternoon picking up trash on the side of the highway, or a week in a faraway flood zone.
40
Once you ,find a well-run organization that aligns with (符合) your availability, values, talents, and objectives, work with your contact there to set a volunteer schedule that fits your life. If you're exploring a frequent engagement—say, a weekly or biweekly commitment —think carefully about how much time you can afford to donate. It's better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload.
A. What motivates you to give back
B. Don't bite off more than you can chew.
C. Are you ready to build a list of ideal places to volunteer
D. It's also an opportunity to spend more time with your family.
E. Don't over think the process of finding opportunities to volunteer.
B. Whatever your motivations are, there's an organization out there that needs your help.
6. Now comes the most difficult part: finding volunteer opportunities that are right for you.
