Friendships can hold an exceptional place in our life stories.What is it about these
connections that makes them so unique Before we dive into the science,let’s first observe
one in action.
2
If I could somehow design a best friend,you know,put together all the ideal qualities of
my perfect match,that person would pale in comparison to Priya.She’s always there for
me.Last year after I failed my important exam,it felt like my whole world was crashing
down.Priya was at my door at the news.I was a wreck,but she sat there with me and
listened.We were on the same page!
Early childhood,adolescent,and adult friendships are all a little different in part because
the brain works in different ways at those stages of life.Adolescence is a unique time when
peer relationships take focus,and thanks to the developing brain,there are changes in the way
you value,understand,and connect to friends.Teenage friends can seem attached at the hip.
Scientists describe adolescence as a social readaption as teenagers begin to spend as
much or more time with their friends than with their parents.This drive to hang with pals
maybe due to changes in the brain’s reward centre.Its activation makes hanging out with
others enjoyable and motivates you to spend more time with them.Neuroimaging(神经成像)
studies show that this region is highly reactive during your teenage years,which may explain
why adolescents seem to place a higher value on social interactions than children or adults.
Teenage friendships can also feel closer than the friendships of your childhood.This
deeper connection is possible thanks to improvements in what scientists call Theory of
Mind.It is the ability to understand others’ emotions,thoughts,motivations,and points of
view.Babies begin to develop Theory of Mind around 18 months or so.And scientists know
that it continues to improve and mature well into your teenage years and
beyond.Likewise,regions within the social brain show increased connectivity during
adolescence compared with childhood.
As a result,teens can better understand their friend’s perspectives,allowing for deeper
connections to develop.The ability to connect with others somewhat depends on the
coordination of actions,emotions,physiology,and thoughts.This is what psychologists call
interpersonal synchrony(同步).
3

A.To introduce an exam.

D.To argue against the opinion.
2.Why does adolescent friendship differ from others
A.Adult friends are attached at the hip.
B.Teenagers’ value stay the same.
C.The brain is inactive during teenage years.
D.Peer relationships play a key role in the life.
3.What can we know about Theory of Mind
A.It becomes better developed in adolescence.
B.It refers to regions within the social brain.
C.Babies begin to develop it around 8 months.
D.It refers to the ability to understand our own emotions.

In July 1915,sick James Murray,one of the early editors of the Oxford English
Dictionary(OED),defined one final word.He had devoted 36 years to the dictionary.Knowing
he would not see the project complete,he wrote his last entry:for “twilight”.
The story of Murray’s final days is one of many memorable tales in The Dictionary
People.Conceived(构思) in 1857,the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project comprising
4
3,000 people.The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and
meaning over time.Volunteers read widely,mailing in examples of how
“rare,old-fashioned,new” words were used.What is surprising about this random method is
that it worked,achieving order through the large number of contributors.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the
dictionary itself.Ms Ogilvie,an editor for the OED,went into the archives(档案馆) of Oxford
University Press and came across an old notebook.It had belonged to Murray and contained
the names and details of the dictionary volunteers,most of whom had previously been
unknown.The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship,presenting the lives
behind the names.
The dictionary’s contributors are an engaging cast,including one of Karl Marx’s
daughters and J.R.R.Tolkien.For some,the dictionary was something addictive:one
contributor supplied 165,061 quotations.Murray,too,was assiduous.He once wrote to George
Eliot to ask about a word choice in Romola,published 17 years earlier.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of strange but interesting tales.Many dictionary lovers engaged
in another crowdsourcing fashion:collecting and measuring rainwater.The presentation of the
book is irregular,too,taking its structure from the work it describes.For example,in her first
chapter,“A for Archaeologist(考古学家),” she relates the early life of Margaret A.Murray,a
pioneering Egyptologist.There are 26 alphabetical(按字母顺序排列的) chapters,each
celebrating a group of contributors.This is a clever concept.
5.What did the OED’s volunteers do
A.They deleted the words going out of use.
B.They listed instances of changes in word use.
C.They corrected the misuse of common words.
D.They added new words to keep up with the times.
6.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about The Dictionary People
5
A.What Ogilvie achieved with it.
B.How Ogilvie told the stories in it.
C.What inspired Ogilvie to write it.
D.Who helped Ogilvie to complete it.
7.What does the underlined word “assiduous” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Hard-working. B.Easy-going.
C.Energetic. D.Flexible.
8.What does the author think of Ms Ogilvie’s book
A.Interesting and creative.
B.Encouraging and influential.
C.Traditional and funny.
D.Descriptive and surprising.
C
Michael Yellow-lees set off to complete a 5,000-mile walk across Canada in the spring
of 2021,wearing a kilt(短褶裙) and carrying a few items in a handcart,including a guitar.The
32-year-old musician from Dunked,Scotland,walked from the shores of the Pacific Oceam to
the east coast of Newfoundland on the edge of the North Atlantic with his pet dog,Luna,an
Alaskan husky,by his side.
Speaking about the Scottish Highlands,Mr.Yellow-lees said,“It is a beautiful
landscape,but with a strong sense of sadness because of the absence of woodland,wildlife and
people.So I decided to walk across the great wildernesses of Canada to raise funds for Trees
for Life,a Scottish rewilding charity,and its work to restore(恢复) Scotland’s Caledonian
Forest.”
The enthusiastic walker shared some of his experiences,including meeting black bears
and hearing wolves cry loudly at night.He also mentioned a moment when he lost Luna after
6
she jumped out of a little boat during a trip in the waterway section of the Trans Canada Trail
in Northern Ontario.
Yet Mr Yellow-lees was deeply touched by the warmth of the people along the way.In
every town and village,people offered him food,shelter and donations.And he was
accompanied into towns and cities by marching pipe bands and interviewed by
newspapers,the radio and TV.
Steve Mickie,chief executive officer of Trees for Life,said,“We followed Michael’s
journey across Canada with respect and admiration.Restoring native habitats and wildlife to
the highlands is a big task that no one can do alone.But Michael’s extraordinary journey is
the proof that an individual can really make a difference.”
Bob Davidson,one of Michael Yellow-lees’ friends,said,“This is not a slow walk in the
park,but a long march with heavy equipment on the rough road at an incredible pace.He’s an
amazing guy.”
9.What do we know about Scottish Highlands from the passage
A.It is located in the east coast of Britain.
B.It is a beautiful landscape but full of sorrows.
C.It may be once the site of extensive forests.
D.It is closely related to a charity in Canada.

B.It was a challenging experience.
C.It was troubled by his companion Luna.
D.It once made him regret his decision.

C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.

12.Which of the following statements may Steve Mickie agree with

Ⅴ.七选五
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step,but don’t beat yourself up about
them.To err(犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do
this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper,put the heading “Personal strengths”. 2 Are you
caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be
world-changing,just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page,put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one,list all the
positive things you’ve done for others.It might be the time when you helped a friend with
their homework,when you did the ironing without being asked,or when you baked cookies
after the family had had a tiring day. 3
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way,you
could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your
personality that shine through.In fact,don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s
a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché(陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but
their mistakes.The thing is,it’s true. 5 We’re all changing and learning all the time and
mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A.A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B.Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
8
C.They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D.It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E.It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F.Whatever it is,no matter how small it might seem,write it down.
G.Whatever the mistake,remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
