21、Five Ways to Build Trust
Trust is a thread that runs through all our connections, from the closest relationships to people we meet only temporarily. In other words, trust is the key to a healthy start with friends. If you want to develop trust in a new friendship, try these five tips.
Listen with care
When someone you’re with is expressing themselves, listen to them properly and attentively. 【1】. As they open up to you, you’ll feel more confident about conveying your inner thoughts in return.
Communicate your worries
【2】 We subconsciously apply these to a new friendship. If you find it hard to trust due to a sorrowful past friendship experience, then don’t be afraid to explain this. Tell your new friends you’re trying to learn to trust again. Honesty breeds (孕育) trust.
Take your time
Don’t rush into anything and stick to the boundaries. Avoid asking confidential questions. You may gradually get familiar with their behaviors and then build a new friendship with mutual (相互的) trust coming along. 【3】. After all, a trustworthy friend doesn’t push others to go all in at the very beginning. Trust wasn’t built in one day.
【4】
Set aside your doubts for a while. It can be easy to fall into a trap thinking that this new friend is going to disappoint you in some way that you’ve experienced before. But you need to give each fresh connection a chance to develop on its own terms.
Take a risk
Put yourself into a situation where you need to put a little faith into the other person. 【5】. Breaking the ice can be challenging, but if you both step outside of your comfort zone a little, trust will be rooted in this new friendship easily.
A．Don’t assume
B．Accept your past
C．Trust is a two-way connection
D．Our ability to trust is influenced by our learning and experiences
E．A milder start with new friends will make them feel more comfortable
F．You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new
G．Therefore, it seems unkind to let this misunderstanding ruin your new friendship
22、The best thing to start your day is a good breakfast. In fact, many people believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In China, porridge with pickles (咸菜), baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common breakfast foods. What are breakfasts in other countries like? Let’s take a look!
US
In the US, a good Sunday morning starts with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or juicy sausages, and soft pancakes with butter and sweet syrup on top. On busy weekdays, most people in the US like to eat cereal with milk, bread and fruit for breakfast. Some people also drink coffee.
Canada
Canada is the largest producer of maple syrup. People usually have pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. Canadian bacon is a popular dish for breakfast as well. Canadian bacon is quite unlike the crispy bacon of the United States. It tastes more like ham and is served in thin round slices.
Britain
The British breakfast is similar to the American breakfast. A basic British breakfast consists of fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, baked (烘) beans, and tomatoes. These foods are popular among young people in Britain. Usually, British people have coffee, tea or milk to drink. Some people also like to drink orange juice.
Japan
Most people in Japan these days – at least in big cities – eat a quick Western-style breakfast like eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Those who prefer more traditional foods are likely to have tea and miso soup with rice. Steamed rice is necessary for a Japanese-style breakfast. People also add nori seaweed or a little raw egg to their rice.
【1】On busy weekday mornings, most people in the US prefer _____.
A．scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or juicy sausages
B．soft pancakes with butter and sweet syrup on top
C．ham, scrambled eggs and pancakes
D．cereal with milk, bread and fruit

23、It can be incredibly difficult to inspire ourselves to go for a run during winter, particularly when it’s wet and windy outside. But new research has found that even a super-quick run could have great health benefits. In fact, it seems just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better, but also could actually improve brain health, too. Now, we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental wellbeing, there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running, compared with other physical activities, such as cycling. So this was something put to the test during a recent study. Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill (跑步机) for just 10 minutes. They then had to take a Stroop Color and Word Test which is used to measure reaction times in brain processing. Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words, runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood (情绪). Researchers then compared these results to a similar study on cycling, which also showed improved cognition (认知), but no mood improvement. Therefore, it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted, “Given exercise is medicine, the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug, different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run will really make us feel better, potentially more than other fitness activities. And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
【1】What did the new research find?
A．Running fast benefits all of us.
B．Running is the best exercise.
C．A short time run can be beneficial.
D．A healthy mind inspires us to run.
【2】How did the researchers get the result?
A．By using different drugs.
B．By taking some word tests.
C．By collecting the former information.
D．By doing experiments and comparisons.
【3】Which is related to our happiness according to the passage?
A．Cycling.
B．Medicine.
C．Blood flow.
D．Colors.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．We should go for a run in winter.
B．Running benefits us physically and mentally.
C．We don’t need a lot of exercise.
D．Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
24、How to deal with bullies
Bullying is really common. In a study of young people in the UK aged 12–20, half of them said they had been bullied. About 1.5 million young people in the UK were bullied last year, and many of these were bullied every day. 【1】
What is bullying?
Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. 【2】 Another type of bullying is social―choosing not to include someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends with them. Bullying can happen at school, on public transport, when you’re walking home, online ... in fact, it can happen anywhere.
The roles kids play
Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Sometimes other people help the bully or join in. 【3】 They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it’s important for everyone to work together against bullying. To stop bullying we need everyone to be brave and take a stand.
How to help
【4】This group can do many things. Let the head teacher know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice. Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or take over the school’s social media for a week to send out anti-bullying messages. Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society―in other words, everyone. 【5】 Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening―tell an adult as soon as possible and help everyone to realize that bullying is not OK.
A．Most bullied people are aged between 12 and 20.
B．Why don’t you create a student anti-bullying group?
C．Physical bullying is more likely to happen to boys.
D．Next time you see someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand!
E．Bullying can also be with words―saying or writing things that are not nice.
F．People who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety.
G．They don’t bully anyone directly but support the bullying by being an audience.
