Friendship is a beautiful relationship. While some friendships tend to come to an end as we grow in life， there are some rare and special ones that are meant to last forever. No matter how many years pass by， the connection stays alive.
Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids were reunited over a half century later — when they least expected it.
Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbours in the 1940s， growing up in England， but like many friends， they lost touch over the years. After getting married， Gresty moved with her husband who was in the navy and was shipped to many foreign places. However， Gresty， despite living in many countries， loved her own country. Gresty said， “I loved the area where I grew up， so I wanted to settle down to enjoy retirement （退休）.” Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and Care， a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55 years old， finally they met each other. Gresty said， “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said ‘Is that you Irene？’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you Janet？’” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other after so long. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other.
Henderson said that it is usual in life for people to often move away from the area and lose contact. As their family names changed， Henderson couldn’t recognize her friend’s name despite being told about her. The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.
1.What does the underlined part “joined at the hip” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Grow fast. B.Work hard.
C.Hang around. D.Stay together.
2.What made Gresty return to England？（ ）
A.Her friends’ invitation. B.Her husband’s new job.
C.Her interest in traveling. D.Her love for her hometown.
3.Which of the following best describes Gresty and Henderson’s reunion？（ ）
A.Unexpected. B.Resultless.
C.Long-planned. D.Well-organized.
4.What did Gresty and Henderson promise to do next？（ ）
A.Keep in touch. B.Travel abroad.
C.Post their stories. D.Make more friends.

When you are a kid， gaining a best friend forever can happen in a single play date. But when you grow up to be an adult， making and maintaining friendships gets harder. So how much quality time （优质时光） do you need before that stranger becomes your friend？ A study recently found that， on average， it takes about 50 hours with someone before you consider them a casual （感情不深的） friend， about 90 hours before you become real friends， and about 200 hours to become close friends.
The study’s author Jeffrey Hall， a communications professor， invited adults who are eager to make friends to take part in two experiments — people who had just moved to a new city in the past six months and college freshmen. He asked them to rate and track the degree of closeness and time spent together with a new person. “Results suggest that the chance of changing from casual friend to real friend is greater than 50% after around 80－100 hours together，” said Hall.
The study found that the amount of time spent talking together， or the fact that you spent time at school or work with them， was unrelated to friendship closeness. “It is really easy to spend a lot of time with people as they are routinely in the same place at the same time as you，” Hall said. “However， my study shows you can have workmates you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours with and still not develop a friendship.”
You do not need to become best friends with your workmates to develop meaningful relationships with them. But for those of us hoping to change from “girl who I eat lunch at work with” to “friend I can depend on”， Hall suggests that you need to take the relationship out of the workplace for it to become a friendship. The participants who did activities outside of work with someone， such as being invited to have lunch in their home， were more likely to develop deeper relationships with them.
5.What is the study mainly about？（ ）
A.Ways of making friends in a new environment.
B.Why people need to make different friends.
C.Different levels of friendship.
D.How long it takes to develop a friendship.
6.What do we know about the participants in the study？（ ）
A.They knew each other before.
B.They had difficulty in making new friends.
C.They were in great need of friends.
D.They started their new life in the same city.
7.What does the underlined word “routinely” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？（ ）
A.Usually. B.Actively.
C.Seldom. D.Confidently.
8.Which can help people build deeper relationships with workmates according to Hall？（ ）
A.Joining the same work team.
B.Having lunch at work with them.
C.Inviting them to your home after work.
D.Sharing work experience with each other.
C
Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close friends in real life， a study has found.In a recent study， researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.
Social media， the researchers said， has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”.But instead of trying to amass friends， they added， a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you’re closest to.
Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on 1，496 people by a non-profit research organization.People taking part in the study showed their ages， the make-up of their social networks， how often they had different types of social interactions， and their own feelings of well-being.They included details of how often and how they interacted with families or neighbors， and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.
The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have， and more to do with how you feel about your friends，” said Dr W ndi Bruine de Bruin.Actually， it’s often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.
If you feel lonely， it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amass” in Paragraph 2？（ ）
A.play the role of
B.think highly of
C.take advantage of
D.increase the number of
10.What can be learned from the scientists’ study？（ ）
A.Scientists did one online survey on 1，496 people.
B.People surveyed mentioned new forms of social networks.
C.People surveyed showed their ways to interact with families.
D.The number of friends was the only cause of people’s happiness.
11.What makes people happy in social life？（ ）
A.Living alone. B.Having close friends.
C.Having good appearance. D.Making as many friends as possible.
12.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text？（ ）
A.To advise us to make friends online.
B.To show us the importance of friends.
C.To present us with the findings of a study.
D.To tell us the problems caused by loneliness.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
People disagree about meaningful and small matters on a daily basis. Sometimes you know if you speak your mind you will upset someone. However， you often must express your opinion even if you know others will disagree. By choosing your words carefully you can avoid long-term offense （冒犯）.
·Ask people about their perspective （观点）. Before being honest about how you feel， it’s important to know their perspective. This gives you a chance to show genuine interest and have a conversation.13.（ ） They may even end their explanation with a request to hear your perspective.
·Put yourself in their shoes. One of the simplest ways to avoid hurting feelings is to imagine how they will respond to your statements.14.（ ） Practise imagining how they view their own opinion and yours. Just because their perspective is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
·15.（ ） Be careful with your honesty. You want to speak the truth in kindness. That means avoiding obvious negative behaviors such as making a face or making fun of their ideas.
·Be polite in your responses. Whenever you try to avoid hurting others， it is best to speak with kindness. Simple acts of kindness can make a big difference. They convey respect and show that you value the other person. This situation isn’t all about you speaking your mind.16.（ ）
·Express your perspective as opinion， not fact. This shows you value their perspective， even if you know the facts back you up. If they have an open mind， facts will change their perspective. If they do not have an open mind， facts will feel like personal attacks.17.（ ） Allow them to discover the truth in their own way， not yours.
A.They have a right to be incorrect.
B.It’s about them feeling valued.
C.Control your words and body language.
D.If they said that to you， would you be upset？
E.Listening to others’ opinion is a very powerful way.
F.Use facts and try to avoid letting your emotions run high.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Gresty和Henderson两人从小是好朋友，由于某种原因，两人失去了联系，但是半个世纪后两人重聚了。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句子可知，半个世纪后两人重聚了，这说明两个人在小时候就是朋友，即两人小时候就待在一起。由此可知，画线短语joined at the hip意为“待在一起”。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Gresty said， “I loved the area where I grew up ...to enjoy retirement （退休）.”可知，Gresty对家乡的热爱使她回到英格兰。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的Thanks to an event hosted ...each other after so long.可推知，Gresty和Henderson的重聚是出乎意料的。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的The two have promised ...they have missed.可推知，Gresty和Henderson承诺接下来两人会保持联系。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们一个成年人需要多长时间才能交到一个新朋友，并且建议要想发展成为朋友需要将这种关系带出工作场所。
5.D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句及第二段第二句可推知，该研究主要是研究发展一段友谊需要多长时间。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，研究者邀请渴望交朋友的成年人参加了两个实验。由此可知，这项研究的参与者都是希望交朋友的人。
7.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的in the same place at the same time as you可知，作为学生或者同事，在一起很容易的原因是人们经常同时出现在同一个场所。由此可知，画线词的意思与usually意义相近。
8.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，下班之后，邀请同事到你的家里有助于和他们建立更深的关系。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，亲密朋友的数量似乎是影响一个人对社交生活满意度的唯一因素。
9.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，研究人员表示，社交媒体鼓励年轻人拥有更大但更非个人的“朋友”网络。But表示转折，下文研究人员补充说，治疗孤独的更好方法可能是花时间和你最亲近的人在一起，而不是试图增加朋友的数量。由此可知，画线词意为“增加数量”。
10.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的They included details of how often ... who provided services to them in their networks.可知，从研究中可以看出被调查的人和家人之间互动交流的方式。
11.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知，拥有亲密的朋友让人们在社交生活中感到快乐。
12.C 写作意图题。文章第一段指出一项研究发现，接着介绍了这项研究的展开过程和研究结果。由此可推知，作者写本文的目的是向我们展示一项研究的结果。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们几条关于如何在不伤害他人感情的情况下保持诚实的建议。
13.G 空前后两句说明询问别人观点带来的好处。G项（这也会给你机会说出自己的想法，做到诚实）符合语境。
14.D 根据上文可知，要站在别人的角度考虑问题。避免伤感情的最简单的方法之一就是想象一下他们会对你的话有何反应。D项（如果他们那样对你说，你会生气吗？）符合语境。
15.C 空处为段落主题句。根据下文making a face和making fun of their ideas可知，C项（控制你的言语和肢体语言）符合语境。
16.B 根据空前一句可知，这种情况不完全是说出你的想法。B项（而是让他们感到被重视）符合语境。
17.A 根据上下文可知，认为你说的不对是他们的权利，允许他们用自己的方式去发现真相。A项（他们有认为你不对的权利）符合语境。

Absolute agony！
Our Agony Aunt answers your questions.
Dear Agony Aunt，
I’m in a total mess① here — [1]hope you can help me out②！
[1]本句是祈使句。
I’m 17， and a member of our school basketball team.I’m crazy about③basketball， and pretty good at④it too， [2]which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match.We played well， but I felt the team were let down⑤ by one member， our point guard.The point guard is a key player， but it was like⑥ he wasn’t even on the court⑦！[3]Disappointed by his behaviour， I said all this to my best friend.I was just letting off steam⑧ really， [4]because I was so angry， but then my friend went and told everyone else [5]what I’d said.
[2]which 引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明前面的句子；该从句中why引导表语从句，when引导时间状语从句。
[3]过去分词短语作原因状语。
[4]because 引导原因状语从句。
[5]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作said的宾语。
This is so totally awkward.I’m really angry with⑨ my friend — what should I say to him？And should I say anything at all to my teammate？
Embarrassed and ashamed， I can’t concentrate on⑩ anything.Please help！
Ben
Dear Ben，
There is an old American saying ，“Loose lips sink ships .” This means [6]that if you speak too much about something， especially to people who you don’t know so well， it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
[6]that引导宾语从句。从句也是主从复合句，其中if引导条件状语从句；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词people；it’ll cause all kinds of trouble 是主句。
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s.[7]Treated this way， you’re sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those [8]closest to us， and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
But I have to say [9]that it’s partly your fault ， isn’t it？ You admit that you were “letting off steam”.It is understandable in that situation， but we should always think before we speak.
[7]过去分词短语作原因状语。
[8]形容词短语作后置定语，修饰those。
[9]that 引导宾语从句；isn’t it 为反意疑问句。
[10]Here’s what you need to do.First， apologise to your teammate.If you ever want to win any more basketball games （and I’m sure you do！）， you need to work together ， and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts.So have a chat with your teammate.[11]Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
[10]完全倒装句。what引导的从句是句子的主语。
[11]祈使句。that引导宾语从句，作前面Tell的直接宾语。
Then， talk to your friend.Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world， but sometimes it can be difficult.Again，
your strategy is clear communication.Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating [12]what you said and [13]making the situation worse， but [14]that you want to move on .[15]Approached in this way， your friendship will soon be repaired.
[12]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作said的宾语。
[13]此处为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。worse是bad的比较级，此处作宾语补足语。
[14]that 引导宾语从句。
[15]过去分词短语作条件状语。
Thirdly， and perhaps most importantly ，think about your own behaviour.Don’t say too much when you’re angry！[16]Filled with anger， you tend to say [17]whatever comes to your mind.This gives people the wrong signal .Take a deep breath ， calm down ， and always remember： think first， speak later.If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight ， then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own， you’ll soon find everything works out .
[16]Filled with anger是过去分词短语作状语，be filled with意为“充满着”，作定语或状语时通常省略be。
[17]whatever引导宾语从句，此处不可以改成no matter what。
Good luck！

深陷痛苦！知心阿姨为你答疑解惑
尊敬的知心阿姨：
我这儿一团糟，希望您能帮我一把！
我今年17岁，是学校篮球队的一员。我酷爱打篮球，打得也很好，也许正因如此，在我们队输掉了最近的比赛时我相当恼怒。我们打得不错，但我感觉整个团队都被一个队友拖累了，那就是我们的控球后卫。控球后卫是队里的关键球员，但他却好像不在场上似的！我对他的所作所为感到失望，就把这些全部告诉了我最好的朋友。我其实只是想发泄一下怒气，因为我太生气了，可我的朋友随后却把我的话告诉了所有人。
这太让人难堪了。我对朋友气恼不已，我应该对他说些什么？另外，我是否应该对我的队友说点什么？
我既尴尬又羞愧，做什么事都无法集中精力。请您帮帮我吧！
本
亲爱的本：
美国有一句老话：“祸从口出。”意思是说如果你对某件事谈论得过多，尤其是跟你不太了解的人谈论，会招来各种各样的麻烦。
你的情况更为糟糕，因为“口风不紧”的人是你最好的朋友。被这样对待，你一定觉得受到了伤害——我们应该一直能够信赖最亲近的人，当我们发现他们不能信赖时，就更伤心了。
不过我不得不说你也有一部分责任，不是吗？你承认了你“只是想发泄一下怒气”。这在当时的情况下可以理解，但我们在说话前应该先想清楚。
现在你应该这么做。第一步，向你的队友道歉。如果你们以后篮球比赛还想赢球（我肯定你们一定想赢！），你们就必须团结合作，这就意味着你们彼此之间必须沟通清楚，解决矛盾。所以，找你那位队友聊聊吧，直接诚恳地告诉他你当时的话没有经过认真考虑。
第二步，和你的朋友聊聊吧。友谊应该是世上最好的事物之一了，但有时也会有些麻烦。同样，你的策略是进行清楚明确的沟通。告诉你的朋友，他传话的行为让情况更糟糕了，你对此很生气，但你想让事情就此过去。通过这个方式处理，你们的友谊很快就会被修复。
第三步，也许是最重要的一点，你要反思自己的行为。生气的时候不要说太多话！满腔怒火的时候，你往往想到什么就说什么。这会给别人错误的信号。深呼吸，冷静下来，并时刻记住：先思而后言。如果你觉得某个队友没有尽职尽责，那你要以更专业的方式向教练提出你的担心。
如果你能在考虑自己感受的同时也考虑别人的感受，很快你就会发现情况将逐渐好转。
祝你好运！
知心阿姨

Ben
Dear Ben，
There is an old American saying ，“Loose lips sink ships .”
This means [6]that if you speak too much about something， especially to
people who you don’t know so well， it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
[6]that引导宾语从句。从句也是主从复合句，其中if引导条件状

of trouble 是主句。
⑨be angry with sb 对某人生气；对某人发火
⑩concentrate on 集中注意力于
saying n.谚语
loose lips sink ships祸从口出
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were
your best friend’s.[7]Treated this way， you’re sure to feel hurt —
we should always be able to trust those [8]closest to us， and it hurts
even more when we find we can’t.
But I have to say [9]that it’s partly your fault ， isn’t it？ You
admit that you were “letting off steam”.It is understandable in that

sure you do！）， you need to work together ， and that means
communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts.So have a
chat with your teammate.[11]Tell him directly and honestly that you
were talking without thinking.
[10]完全倒装句。what引导的从句是句子的主语。
[11]祈使句。that引导宾语从句，作前面Tell的直接宾语。
apologise to sb 向某人道歉
work together一起工作，一起共事
resolve v.解决（问题、困难）
have a chat with sb和某人聊天
directly adv.直接地
honestly adv.诚实地，诚恳地
Then， talk to your friend.Friendship should be one of the greatest
things in the world， but sometimes it can be difficult.Again， your
strategy is clear communication.Tell your friend you’re angry with him
for repeating [12]what you said and [13]making the situation worse， but
[14]that you want to move on .[15]Approached in this way， your
friendship will soon be repaired.

move on 开始做别的事；换话题
approach v.着手处理；接近，靠近
Thirdly， and perhaps most importantly ，think about your own
behaviour.Don’t say too much when you’re angry！[16]Filled with
anger， you tend to say [17]whatever comes to your mind.This gives
people the wrong signal .Take a deep breath ， calm down ， and
always remember： think first， speak later.If you feel one of your
teammates isn’t pulling their weight ， then raise your concerns in a
professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own，
you’ll soon find everything works out .
[16]Filled with anger是过去分词短语作状语，be filled with意为
“充满着”，作定语或状语时通常省略be。
[17]whatever引导宾语从句，此处不可以改成no matter what。
Good luck！
Agony Aunt
most importantly 最重要的是
tend to倾向于
signal n.信号；暗号
breath n.一口气
take a deep breath深吸一口气
calm down 冷静下来
pull one’s weight 做好分内事，尽责

【参考译文】
深陷痛苦！知心阿姨为你答疑解惑
尊敬的知心阿姨：
我这儿一团糟，希望您能帮我一把！
我今年17岁，是学校篮球队的一员。我酷爱打篮球，打得也很
好，也许正因如此，在我们队输掉了最近的比赛时我相当恼怒。我们
打得不错，但我感觉整个团队都被一个队友拖累了，那就是我们的控
球后卫。控球后卫是队里的关键球员，但他却好像不在场上似的！我
对他的所作所为感到失望，就把这些全部告诉了我最好的朋友。我其
实只是想发泄一下怒气，因为我太生气了，可我的朋友随后却把我的
话告诉了所有人。
这太让人难堪了。我对朋友气恼不已，我应该对他说些什么？另
外，我是否应该对我的队友说点什么？
我既尴尬又羞愧，做什么事都无法集中精力。请您帮帮我吧！
本
亲爱的本：
美国有一句老话：“祸从口出。”意思是说如果你对某件事谈论
得过多，尤其是跟你不太了解的人谈论，会招来各种各样的麻烦。
你的情况更为糟糕，因为“口风不紧”的人是你最好的朋友。被
这样对待，你一定觉得受到了伤害——我们应该一直能够信赖最亲近
的人，当我们发现他们不能信赖时，就更伤心了。
不过我不得不说你也有一部分责任，不是吗？你承认了你“只是
想发泄一下怒气”。这在当时的情况下可以理解，但我们在说话前应
该先想清楚。
现在你应该这么做。第一步，向你的队友道歉。如果你们以后篮
球比赛还想赢球（我肯定你们一定想赢！），你们就必须团结合作，
这就意味着你们彼此之间必须沟通清楚，解决矛盾。所以，找你那位
队友聊聊吧，直接诚恳地告诉他你当时的话没有经过认真考虑。
第二步，和你的朋友聊聊吧。友谊应该是世上最好的事物之
一了，但有时也会有些麻烦。同样，你的策略是进行清楚明确的
沟通。告诉你的朋友，他传话的行为让情况更糟糕了，你对此很
生气，但你想让事情就此过去。通过这个方式处理，你们的友谊
很快就会被修复。
第三步，也许是最重要的一点，你要反思自己的行为。生气的时
候不要说太多话！满腔怒火的时候，你往往想到什么就说什么。这会
给别人错误的信号。深呼吸，冷静下来，并时刻记住：先思而后言。
如果你觉得某个队友没有尽职尽责，那你要以更专业的方式向教练提
出你的担心。
如果你能在考虑自己感受的同时也考虑别人的感受，很快你就会
发现情况将逐渐好转。
祝你好运！
知心阿姨

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Friendship is a beautiful relationship. While some friendships tend to
come to an end as we grow in life， there are some rare and special ones
that are meant to last forever. No matter how many years pass by， the
connection stays alive.
Two childhood best friends who were “joined at the hip” as kids
were reunited over a half century later — when they least expected it.
Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbours in the 1940s，
growing up in England， but like many friends， they lost touch over the
years. After getting married， Gresty moved with her husband who was in
the navy and was shipped to many foreign places. However， Gresty，
despite living in many countries， loved her own country. Gresty said，
“I loved the area where I grew up， so I wanted to settle down to enjoy
retirement （退休）.” Thanks to an event hosted by Bield Housing and
Care， a non-profit organization devoted to supporting residents over 55
years old， finally they met each other.
Gresty said， “We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and
said ‘Is that you Irene？’ and I just laughed and said ‘Yes. Are you
Janet？’” They couldn’t believe that they were meeting each other
after so long. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking to each other.
Henderson said that it is usual in life for people to often move away
from the area and lose contact. As their family names changed，
Henderson couldn’t recognize her friend’s name despite being told
about her. The two have promised to never stay long without seeing each
other. They exchanged numbers so they could meet in the future. They
have many years to catch up on everything they have missed.

聚是出乎意料的。

When you are a kid， gaining a best friend forever can happen in a
single play date. But when you grow up to be an adult， making and
maintaining friendships gets harder. So how much quality time （优质时
光） do you need before that stranger becomes your friend？ A study
recently found that， on average， it takes about 50 hours with someone
before you consider them a casual （感情不深的） friend， about 90
hours before you become real friends， and about 200 hours to become
close friends.
The study’s author Jeffrey Hall， a communications professor，
invited adults who are eager to make friends to take part in two
experiments — people who had just moved to a new city in the past six
months and college freshmen. He asked them to rate and track the degree
of closeness and time spent together with a new person. “Results suggest
that the chance of changing from casual friend to real friend is greater than
50％ after around 80－100 hours together，” said Hall.
The study found that the amount of time spent talking together， or
the fact that you spent time at school or work with them， was unrelated to
friendship closeness. “It is really easy to spend a lot of time with people
as they are routinely in the same place at the same time as you，” Hall
said. “However， my study shows you can have workmates you spend
hundreds and hundreds of hours with and still not develop a friendship.”
You do not need to become best friends with your workmates to
develop meaningful relationships with them. But for those of us hoping to
change from “girl who I eat lunch at work with” to “friend I can
depend on”， Hall suggests that you need to take the relationship out of
the workplace for it to become a friendship. The participants who did
activities outside of work with someone， such as being invited to have
lunch in their home， were more likely to develop deeper relationships
with them.

Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close
friends in real life， a study has found.In a recent study， researchers
discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as
those with far more if many of theirs were online.
Social media， the researchers said， has encouraged younger people
to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”.But instead of
trying to amass friends， they added， a better cure for loneliness might
be spending time with those you’re closest to.
Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from
two online surveys on 1，496 people by a non-profit research
organization.People taking part in the study showed their ages， the
make-up of their social networks， how often they had different types of
social interactions， and their own feelings of well-being.They included
details of how often and how they interacted with families or neighbors，
and whether they included people who provided services to them in their
networks.
The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only
thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have，
and more to do with how you feel about your friends，” said Dr W ndi
Bruine de Bruin.Actually， it’s often the younger adults who admit to
having a bad opinion of their friends.
If you feel lonely， it may be more helpful to make a positive
connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
People disagree about meaningful and small matters on a daily basis.
Sometimes you know if you speak your mind you will upset someone.
However， you often must express your opinion even if you know others
will disagree. By choosing your words carefully you can avoid long-term
offense （冒犯）.
·Ask people about their perspective （观点）. Before being honest
about how you feel， it’s important to know their perspective. This
gives you a chance to show genuine interest and have a conversation.13.
（ ） They may even end their explanation with a request to hear your
perspective.
·Put yourself in their shoes. One of the simplest ways to avoid hurting
feelings is to imagine how they will respond to your statements.14.
（ ） Practise imagining how they view their own opinion and yours.
Just because their perspective is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
·15.（ ） Be careful with your honesty. You want to speak the
truth in kindness. That means avoiding obvious negative behaviors such as
making a face or making fun of their ideas.
·Be polite in your responses. Whenever you try to avoid hurting
others， it is best to speak with kindness. Simple acts of kindness can
make a big difference. They convey respect and show that you value the
other person. This situation isn’t all about you speaking your mind.16.
（ ）
·Express your perspective as opinion， not fact. This shows you
value their perspective， even if you know the facts back you up. If they
have an open mind， facts will change their perspective. If they do not
have an open mind， facts will feel like personal attacks.17.（ ）
Allow them to discover the truth in their own way， not yours.
A. They have a right to be incorrect.
B. It’s about them feeling valued.
C. Control your words and body language.
D. If they said that to you， would you be upset？
E. Listening to others’ opinion is a very powerful way.
F. Use facts and try to avoid letting your emotions run high.
G. This may also give you opportunities to speak up and be honest.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们几条关于如何在不伤
害他人感情的情况下保持诚实的建议。
13. G 空前后两句说明询问别人观点带来的好处。G项（这也会给你
机会说出自己的想法，做到诚实）符合语境。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们几条关于如何在不伤
害他人感情的情况下保持诚实的建议。
14. D 根据上文可知，要站在别人的角度考虑问题。避免伤感情的
最简单的方法之一就是想象一下他们会对你的话有何反应。D项（如
果他们那样对你说，你会生气吗？）符合语境。
15. C 空处为段落主题句。根据下文making a face和making fun of
their ideas可知，C项（控制你的言语和肢体语言）符合语境。
16. B 根据空前一句可知，这种情况不完全是说出你的想法。B项
（而是让他们感到被重视）符合语境。
17. A 根据上下文可知，认为你说的不对是他们的权利，允许他
们用自己的方式去发现真相。A项（他们有认为你不对的权利）符
合语境。
谢谢观看！
