Use your diary for creative writing. When you write your diary, don’t worry too much about the rules of spelling and grammar. You don’t worry how other people think about your writing either! 【5】 Indeed, a lot of diary writing is just like that. Don’t be afraid, however, to use your diary to write more creatively.

22、Friday was "Chatty Bus day", an experiment aimed at getting people to talk to each other on public transport. This is not an idea that would appeal to those who commute in the rush hour, because there is a smaller distance within which it's just as uncomfortable to talk. Elbow(肘) room is a precondition for sociability. It is no coincidence that the first truly personal music player, the Sony Walkman, was invented in Japan where the commuter trains are literally crowded with people.
We will also not talk to strangers who are physically too far away, of course. No one wants to shout their small talk. Only on country buses or similar unhurried and uncrowded forms of public transport can people reach out to their neighbors, confident that they are doing so from a position of strength and autonomy.
For all these drawbacks, the idea of talking to strangers is still a good one, and the promotion of sociability is good for society. Although it does seem to be a general rule that people are friendlier the fewer there are of them and more hostile and indifferent as cities get more crowded, there are still considerable cultural variations. And there is evidence that friendlier places are also healthier, and their inhabitants happier.
It is true that the apparent loneliness of many people on public transport is a false impression.
Many will be caught up with conversations with distant friends on their phones; some will be talking to the people in books. Some may be in willed solitude with their headphones. But there are always people who would be interested in an unexpected conversation with a stranger. This need not go on for too long.
It is not large and possibly life-changing conversations that are what most people in loneliness miss most. What they really need is not deep thought but superficiality. The kind of conversation that you could have with anyone reminds you that you yourself might be anyone. It is a release from the prison of the self, which is where lonely people serve their sentences, uncertain whether they ever can be paroled(假释). Friendship may be too rare a gift to hope for, but sometimes the kindest thing to say is also the simplest: "Don't be a stranger"-and sometimes that's also enough.
【1】According to Paragraph 1, why the first Walkman appeared in Japan partly?
A．its corporate culture
B．its overcrowded public transport
C．its people's creativity
D．its people's desire for personal space
【2】Which of the following belongs to "these drawbacks" underlined in paragraph 3?
A．"Chatty Bus day" has not been introduced to other areas.
B．Walkman prevents passengers from talking to each other.
C．Passengers are unwilling to make small talk with strangers.
D．Improper physical distance discourages casual communication.
【3】What is the author most likely to agree with?
A．Small talk to strangers will help ease loneliness on the road.
B．Lonely people are in desperate need of deep conversation.
C．People in less populated cities tend to be cold and distant.
D．It's inadvisable to talk to strangers who are physically too close.
【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A．To cast new light on human loneliness.
B．To introduce an experiment and its effects.
C．To advocate striking up conversations with strangers.
D．To explore the relationship between physical distance and willingness to reach out.
23、Steve is James and John’s big brother. One day, when their mum left for work, James and John started crying. They didn’t want her to leave. Steve tried to stop them crying and said, “Let’s play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏). You hide and I’ll count to ten. Then I’ll try to find you.” Steve found James under a chair and John behind a door.

24、Edward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals.
Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Hölldobler published their Pulitzer- winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson's major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior.
Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These accomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees.
【1】What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants?
A．His accidental disability.
B．The discovery he made about ants.
C．The school education he received.
D．His boyhood time spent in nature.
【2】What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about?
A．The social structure of ants.
B．The distribution of different species.
C．The links between biology and human culture.
D．The role of chemical signals in communication.
【3】According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson?
A．Productive.
B．Humble.
C．Open-minded.
D．Independent.
【4】What is the best title of this text?
A．The Pioneering “Ant Man”
B．Discoveries in Evolutionary Biology
C．A Leading Figure in Popular Science
D．The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize Winner
25、“The silence is killing me,” I thought as I locked my phone, hoping a new message would light up the screen. After 27 messages, two phone calls and a voicemail, I’d just sent my final text to the person who _________ to be my best friend at college.
