6 . How to Make Friends

Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend.     1     But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.

1. Associate with others.

The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.

2. Start a conversation.

Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.     2     You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.

3.     3    

Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.

4. Let it grow.

It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.     4     The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.

5. Enjoy your friendship.

The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves.     5     Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.

7 . Technology usually keeps us away from nature. But now it is offering us an opportunity to listen to non-humans in powerful ways, connecting us again to the natural world.

Around the animal kingdom, there are sounds hard for us to decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infra-sound (次声波), a sound frequently far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! So scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.

After the sounds are recorded, AI (人工智能) is then able to determine their meaning. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. One day this information may be turned into “a zoological version of google translate”. One animal language is that of the elephant. Elephants have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human. Moreover, they range between threatening humans and non-threatening humans.

And this technology is more powerful than that. For example, bees use dances to communicate with their peers where to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, insert the bee language from AI database system into a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move. Whereas in the past, language creation had been limited to mainly apes (类人猿), with many examples of chimpanzees having been taught sign language to communicate with humans. This new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.

1. Which of the following best explains “decipher” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A．Take control.	B．Recognize.
C．Raise interest.	D．Communicate.

2. What can AI do according to paragraph 3?

A．Record animal sounds as many as possible.

B．Work with google to translate animal signals.

C．Find the difference between animal and human signals.

D．Analyze what animal signal information indicate.

3. Why is the new technology more powerful?

A．Because it uses a robot bee to find nectar.

B．Because it teaches chimpanzees sign language.

C．Because it enlarges humans’ communication with animals.

D．Because it helps humans discover more animal species.

4. What is the main idea of this passage?

A．AI helps humans communicate more with animals.

B．Animals can chat as well as humans do.

C．Different animals have different chatting abilities.

D．AI is the most powerful technology at present.

9 . Which subject is interesting to the woman?

A．Math.

B．Chemistry.
