4 . It’s normal for friends to experience conflict, disagreements, and even fight.    1    Most times conflict with a friend is easily solved. But in some cases, the disagreement and the conflict grow leading to anger, sadness and even the end of a friendship. Learning to handle the conflict with friends in a healthy way is beneficial for both sides. Here are some tips.

Calm down. The first thing is to calm down.    2    Prevent further damage to the relationship by taking a moment to calm down. Get some alone time. Tell your friend that you need a moment to clear your head. You can either go for a walk or just take a warm bath.

    3    It may feel as if it helps you explain your concerns more thoroughly if you bring in related examples from past events. Avoid this at all costs. Past issues for discussion only make things worse. Remember it’s important to focus on the issue at hand, not past events.

Work towards a compromise. Unfortunately, some people believe that a compromise means a   “lose/lose situation” because each person has to give up something. While this is true, every healthy relationship usually involves compromise and adjusting to others’ needs or wants. It takes two to make it work.    4    

Be careful of unhealthy friendships. It’s generally a good idea to work through conflicts with friends.    5    If you are in a friendship that is based more on conflict or you seem to be the one always apologizing, you need to re-evaluate if this friendship is worth keeping and consider when to walk away.

A．Remain on the current matter.

B．You can’t always agree on everything.

C．Avoid explaining your concerns repeatedly.

D．Just “give a little” to allow your friend to “get a little”.

E．In a heated situation, it’s easy to say or do things we later regret.

F．But it isn’t in your best interest if the friendship causes more harm than good.

G．It’s important to surround yourself with people who positively influence your life.

5 . In the late 1970s, archaeologists (考古学家) uncovered the remains of a woman and a young dog, her hand resting on the puppy’s chest in a 12,000-year-old village.

The find is some of the earliest evidence of the bond between humans and dogs. But even after years of study researchers are divided on how this bond began. Did it arise over thousands of years, as early dogs became tamer (驯服的) and more accustomed to human behaviors? Or was this fire already burning in the ancestors of dogs: the gray wolf?

Christina Hansen Wheat, a behavioral ecologist at Stockholm University, and workmates hand-raised 10 gray wolves from the time they were 10 days old. When the animals were 23 weeks old, a caregiver led them one at a time into a mostly empty room. Over the course of several minutes, the caregiver exited and entered the room, sometimes leaving the wolf alone, sometimes leaving it with a complete stranger. The team repeated the experiment with 12 23-week-old Alaskan huskies (哈士奇), which they’d raised similarly since puppyhood.

For the most part, the scientists saw few differences between the wolves and the dogs. When their caregiver entered the room, both species scored 4.6 on a five-point scale of “greeting behavior”—a desire to be around the human. When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5, on average, suggesting both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t. It’s this distinction that the team counts as a sign of attachment.

In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves paced at least part of the time. However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room and their caretaker returned. Hansen Wheat says that’s never been seen before in wolves. It could be a sign, she says, that the animals view the humans who raised them as a “social buffer”.

For her, that’s the most interesting part of the study. “If this is true, this sort of attachment is not what separates dogs from wolves,” she says. In other words, it didn’t have to be bred into them by humans, but could have been the seed we selected for, and then strengthened over thousands of years.

1. What’s the purpose of Hansen Wheat’s experiment?

A．To find out what makes gray wolves and dogs different.

B．To explain the reasons why humans raised dogs from ancient times.

C．To argue gray wolves after being tamed are easier to keep than dogs.

D．To prove whether gray wolves can make doglike attachment to people.

2. What do we know about Hansen Wheat’s experiment from paragraph 3 and 4?

A．Researchers began to raise gray wolves from their birth.

B．Researchers used equal numbers of gray wolves and dogs.

C．Gray wolves felt more stressful than dogs when a stranger came.

D．“Greeting behavior” of the two animals was significantly different.

3. What do the underlined words “social buffer” in paragraph 5 mean?

A．A reminder of feeding.	B．A sign of social attachment.
C．A source of comfort and support.	D．A warning of stopping pace.

4. What will Hansen Wheat probably agree with according to the last paragraph?

A．Dogs are more attached to humans than gray wolves.

B．It is the attachment to humans that sets gray wolves apart from dogs.

C．The attachment between dogs and humans is the result of being tamed.

D．The attachment to humans plays a role in the choice of dogs or gray wolves.

7 . Developing friendship with other people is essential in our lives due to our own very nature.     1     Therefore, we need to love and to be loved to become fully human beings, as love is the highest form we can relate with others and one of the most distinct features of our species.

Here are 4 key points to develop and sustain a true friendship.

Take responsibility of your own emotions.

    2     Sometimes we can’t realize that we are presenting the bad power to him /her. Being aware of that, we would be better if we take responsibility and embrace the emotions that come up in our inner world instead of stopping the relationship or blaming the other for what we are feeling.

    3    

The primary goal of friendship is to love, because this is our most inherent need. But love has no other object than love. Therefore, the value of our friendship with others is not because of the usefulness of the relationship. Our love for a person should not depend on their capacity to improve the conditions of our life. On the contrary, feeling the joy of having a true friendship is what we need.

Seek the good of the other person.

When we love another person, we seek the good of the other because we rejoice in their own happiness. Therefore, our seeking for the other person’s good is totally disinterested.     4    

Acts of love are made for its own sake.

Embrace the differences.

Friendship doesn’t mean having the same interests, opinions and mindset as the other person.

Friendship is therefore a practice of unconditional love, an opportunity to grow together towards fulfillment, and a journey to unfold the most precious capacities of a human being.     5    

A．Human beings are relational beings.

B．Why not cherish it with your own heart?

C．Look at the other as an end not as a means.

D．Recognize the necessity of the close relationship.

E．We usually blame the other person for what we feel.

F．The mode of friendship differs from person to person.

G．We serve the other without expecting anything in return.
