Four types of friends you need in your life

Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.

The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.

1. A Loyal Best Friend

Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.

2. A Friendly Neighbor

These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.

3. A Workmate

You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.

4. A Friend From a Different Culture

If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don’t make friends with someone just because they’re from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.

If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

25、   In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day（校友返校日）. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game on that day. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance（预先）.

Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

The members of some school clubs build booths（摊位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.

During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school.

Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。

26、   Our lives have become more digital (数字的) in the modern world. We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (设备) is bad for our eyes.

According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of computer workers have eye problems.

Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain and other problems.

These problems have started to increase among children. "Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day," Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman (女发言人) for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.

The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce digital eyestrain. When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you're high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.

When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.

Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

【1】What can we know from Sarah Hinkley?

A.Children can easily get eyestrain. B.Children shouldn't use cellphones.

C.More children are experiencing digital eyestrain. D.Using cell phones can cause many problems.

【2】When we use phones, we should ________.

A.use them under sunlight B.turn off the lights

C.keep them just below eye level D.keep them close to our eyes

【3】The story gives suggestions about ________.

a. how to use computers safely

b. how to use phones safely

c. when to take breaks from electronic devices

d. how to clean your eyes

A.abc B.abd C.acd D.bcd

27、Most of us feel younger or older than we really are. This “subjective age” is simply based on the way we feel inside. Scientists find that “subjective age” is the key to understanding why some people appear to be energetic as they age—while others do not. What’s more, studies have shown that you really are only as old as you feel in some real ways.

One interesting study has discovered our subjective age is connected with our personality. It is now well-accepted that people tend to become less open to new experiences while ageing. However, such personality changes are less pronounced in people with a younger heart and more noticeable in people with older subjective ages. Moreover, people with younger subjective ages become more careful and make fewer mistakes. But the connection between health and subjective age almost certainly acts in both directions; If you often feel upset, you are likely to feel older; The result could be a vicious cycle (恶性循环). In this way, the effect of subjective age on health is stronger than that of actual age.

When do we start to feel that our minds and bodies are running on different timescales? And why does it happen? One study finds that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are. But this changes at around 26, when 70% of them would feel younger. Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense. Believing “I may be 65 but I only feel 50” would mean you are less worried about your performance at work, for example. This thinking helps people free themselves from the society’s sad view of ageing.

With these findings, it is possible that in the future, science might be able to reduce people’s subjective age and improve their health as a result.

【1】According to the passage, subjective age ________.

A．will not change when you get older

B．is simply based on how others think of you

C．is the number of years you have lived

D．results from your personal feelings of ageing

【2】What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．发声的

B．必要的

C．明显的

D．有条件的

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．People with older subjective ages are healthier.

B．More people will have older subjective ages after 26.

C．Actual age has a stronger effect on people’s health condition.

D．A lower subjective age may help people do better in their work.

【4】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．future science will stop us from getting old

B．most children and teenagers feel older than they really are

C．there are many secrects hidden in our brains

D．our society doesn’t think highly of old people’s work.

Many American organizations reach out to suffering people in other countries. For a certain amount per month, people can provide needy children with food, clothing and education.

  As long as there are people in need, helping others will remain an important task. Americans are not the only ones who believe in helping others. People in every culture recognize that being h 【7】   is one of the greatest virtues(美德)in life. as well as one of the sweetest joys.
