12.Have you ever felt that you want more friends?Have you found that you don't know how to make friends?Don't worry.It's easier than it looks.
Start with small actions.If you're uncomfortable with long conversations with people,start by just saying"hi"and asking what the person is doing.Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning,people will usually still like you.When it comes to conversations,remember"F.O.R.".It stands for family,occupation(職業(yè)) and recreation(休閑).You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new.Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics.The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.
Honesty is the best policy.In friendship,"honesty"is thefundamentalquality that one must have.One should always be honest with his or her friends.Don't laugh at people's fault.Praise them honestly and openly.Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.

10.Do you have an emotional brain or a rational (理性的) one?Researchers at Australia's Monash University have found actual difference in the brains of people who respond emotionally to others'feelings compared with those who respond more rationally.
A study published in the journal NeuroImage has looked at whether people who have more brain cells in certain areas of the brain are better at certain types of empathy,according to Science Daily.Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person,and the two types investigated were cognitive (認(rèn)知的) empathy and affective (情感的) empathy.
"Every day people use empathy with,and without,their knowledge to get around in the social world,"said Robert Eres from Monash University's School of Psychological Sciences."We use it for communication,to build relationships,and to increase our understanding of others."
"People who are high on affective empathy are often those who get quite fearful when watching a scary movie,or start crying during a sad scene.Those who have high cognitive empathy are those who are more rational,for example a psychologist helping someone,"explained Eres.
The results of the study showed that people with high scores for affective empathy had more gray matter in a part of the brain called the insula,found right in the"middle"of the brain.Those who scored higher for cognitive empathy had more in a part called the midcingulate cortex-an area above the corpus callosum,which connects the two halves of the brain.
The discovery"raises new questions-like whether people could train themselves to have more empathy,and whether those areas of the brain would become larger if they did,or whether we can lose our ability to empathize if we don't use it enough",according to Science Daily.
"In the future we want to investigate further by testing whether training people in empathy-related tasks can lead to changes in these brain areas.We also want to investigate if damage to these brain areas,as a result of a stroke (中風(fēng)) for example,can lead to empathy problems."said Eres.
Perhaps in the future we will all be able to empathize more with other people.Maybe you will cry at that sad movie after all!

40.Empathy can be used in the following situations EXCEPT thatC.
A.when a psychologist is helping a patient with his mental disease
B.when a teacher is comforting a student about his father's death
C.when a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland
D.when people are reading a story with a frightening ending
41.What does the research done by Monash University mainly show?A
A.Differences in the brains of emotional and rational people.
B.Whether a rational brain works better than an emotional one.
C.What empathy is and how to improve people's ability to empathize.
D.How to effectively train people to have more empathy cells in their brain.
42.Which of the following statements might Robert Eres disagree with?D
A.People use empathy when they are or aren't aware of it.
B.People tend to use empathy to build relationships or understand others.
C.People with higher affective empathy feel heart-broken when watching sad movies.
D.People who are more rational have been found to have more gray matter in their brains.
43.Which of the following will be one of the focuses of future investigations according to the article?B
A.How to train people in empathy-related tasks.
B.Whether people can be trained to be more empathetic.
C.Whether empathy problems can lead to damage to areas of the brain.
D.Why people seem to lose their ability to empathize if they don't use it enough.

17.China is a country on the move-especially around its Lunar New Year holiday.This year,the holiday crush(客流量)promises to be even heavier than before.
Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air,roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience.And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope.Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel,and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down.
Much of the criticism has,focused on the railway's-online purchasing system.Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers(票販子)from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.
While insist ing that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers,railway official s told reporters that the public need to be patient.Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems.While officials had little good news for rail passengers,they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls (通行費(fèi))will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.

32.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"discounting"in Paragraph 3?A

14.Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones.They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.Some are shy"in real life"but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues,or problems at home.

11.Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless.(31)A If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision,you're probably right to second-guess yourself.
Because all your friends are going.
In only a few weeks'time,the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places.(32)C Friends will wonder what's wrong with you.
Because someone else expects it from you.
(33)F Or maybe,you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there.It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go.It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go.
Because you don't know what else to do.
It's been tough to find even a summer job.You don't have an alternative plan.Everyone else is doing it.(see above) (34)G That is the lamest(無說服力的) of reasons to spend 20,000or more in the next year.
(35)D
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college.Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education.Whatever the story is,there are always people who regret decisions they've made.So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.

A.But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.
B.Because you don't want to work.
C.Not to go will set yourself apart.
D.Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go.
E.Everyone seems more excited than you are.
F.Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college.
G.You think you might as well go to school.
