Friends are very important to us. Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends.
Atleto
Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染) phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.
Friender
Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level (表面的) conversations. Then, Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favourite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time.
Skout
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences. It’s perfect for meeting new friends while people are travelling, moving and entering a new chapter of life. Skout is able to discover people directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.

To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books widely. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the proper books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my reading experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat horrible. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed rather unfamiliar to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel-A Farewell to Arms. No long and puzzling sentences. And I particularly liked his brief style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose modern novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels, you will miss a lot of treasures. Besides, English essays also play a key role. They can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your, taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance (优雅) and the special sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, here comes my second suggestion-essays are also vital.
Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think independently and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
14. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand
A. Difficult conversations.
B. The old-fashioned vocabulary.
C. Not knowing the social background.
D. Sentences and Austen’s way of thinking.
15. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Compare books before buying.
B. Read books that are influential.
C. Don`t blindly follow others’ choices.
D. Choose books that challenge us most.
16. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. Give comments on literature works.
B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books.
D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
C
Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega . It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.
In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy ” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.
One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted (互动) with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had: For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time. Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings. such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.
A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all. .
Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error (错误) rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.
17. What do we know about Tega
A. It has a voice of an adult.
B. It is connected to the Internet.
C. It can tell stories in a lively way.
D. It is mainly designed to entertain kids.
18. Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings
A. To keep the kids interested.
B. To help kids better understand a story.
C. To know about the kids’ language skills.
D To encourage the kids to think independently.
19. What do the results of the experiment show
A. Children enjoy telling back stories to Tega.
B. Young kids really love interacting with others.
C. The robot needs to be improved to work better.
D. The personalized version of the robot helps kids most.
20. What is the text mainly about
A. A new invention for kids.
B. A personalized teaching method.
C. A new way to increase kids’ vocabularies.
D. A study carried out by researchers recently.
