Once during a flight, I sit next to an old man named Cliff, which was a fan of China. He had been studying Chinese for years, and he tried his best to learning a few new words every day. My friendly neighbor shared some of his life story with me, too. He had owned several businesses and had been failed in a number of them. However, Cliff thought his life was quite successfully. He spoke of his failure with same interest as he talked about his success. His life was wonderful but his experiences were meaningful. I never spoke ill of the people in his life and was thankful with all of them.

A new study looked at conversations between parents and their kids when they explored a city park as well as an indoor education center. They found that talking outdoors was much more enthusiastic    1    talking inside.

Researchers from the University of Manchester recorded conversations between parents and    2     (they) 3-and 4-year-old children. They focused on children of that age because they     3     (usual) have a lot to say, but often it can be challenging    4     (hold) a conversation with them, researchers said. But being outside seemed to help.

“Our research shows that    5     (nature) environments can better improve social communication,     6    raises the quality of parent-child conversations,” the study author Thea Cameron Faulkner said in a statement.The study    7     (publish) in the journal of Knviron-mental Psychology.

   Researchers said that there was obvious improvement in conversations held outside, but they didn’t know why the communication flowed better. One explanation, they said, is that being outside in nature     8     (ease) pressure for both children and adults    9    creates a better atmosphere for easier conversations. Another explanation is that talking outside may get greater levels of attention between    10     (person).

3 . Making friends can be difficult. It seems like there’s no guide for this important life skill. But a researcher Jeffrey A. Hall in the University of Kansas has helped explain the process of friendship-building in a new study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. It’s the first to find out exactly how long it takes to make a friend. The answer is a long time.

Hall surveyed 112 college students every three weeks during their first nine weeks at a Midwestern university. He also gave a one-time questionnaire to 355 American adults who had moved to a new city in the past six months. In these surveys, the newcomers picked a friend or two and reported how much time they spent together.

Unsurprisingly, the more time two people spent together, the closer their relationship is. Through his analysis, Hall was able to tell how many hours it took for different levels of friendship to take place:

● It takes students 43 hours and adults 94 hours to turn acquaintances (熟人) into casual friends.

● Students need 57 hours to change from casual friends to friends. Adults need, on average, 164 hours.

● For students, friends became good or best friends after about 119 hours. Adults need an additional 100 hours to make that happen.

“Everyone wants to have friends, but you can’t have friends without making them,” says Hall. “Making friends takes time.”

That’s why it s easier to make friends in school and at university. Hall thinks that the close college life develops fast connections and it’s harder for students to get impacted by other people outside, especially if they go to a university away from home. For adults, even 50 hours is a lot of hours to spend with someone when they’re working full time and spending at least an hour a day on the subway.

1. What’s the purpose of the study by Jeffrey A. Hall?

A．To provide a guide for making friends.

B．To describe the benefits of making friends.

C．To explore the time needed for making friends.

D．To study the differences between students and adults.

2. According to Hall, how long do new students need to become best friends?

A．100 hours.

B．119 hours.

C．219 hours.

D．319 hour.

3. Which of the following has a positive effect on friendship-building?

A．The close college life.	B．Long working time.
C．The impact from others.	D．Time spent on the subway.

4 . The COVID-19 lockdown worried me. I worried about what the weeks and months ahead might look like. I decided to take the idea of "love the neighbour" seriously,   though I had only On a Saturday morning, I made a sign that said, "Have a nice day, "and stuck it on my met them from the kitchen window.

On a Saturday morning, I made a sign that said, “Have a nice day,”   and stuck it on my kitchen window, with a smiley face. A while later that day, the neighbour living across from me, taped up a sign on the window with a message for us. "Thank you. You too! "We went on like this for a few days , back and forth, like an echo, and I thought of how this would be a nice story for us all: move from strangers in the beginning to good friends in the end.

Somewhere around Day 5,   I positioned"Beaker the Muppet"in the window,   and they responded with a cute stuffed dog. Then I put a note of a Mary Oliver poem about spring to raise the bar. Maybe I was showing off. Sure enough, no"echo this time.

The next day, Dewey was barking at their dog in the backyard. I saw one of the guys when I went out to stop my dog. “Sorry, we didn’t find a poem,” he said. “We meant to,” he added, And then we never did." “That’s okay, I replied. And we both went back inside.

During the following days, I also ran into the neighbour in the driveway some times as we walked our dogs, and found the note already started to feel a little silly. What if my notes were a chore to them, and not a charm?

For months, I had avoided my favourite blocks sidewalk that cut through my neighbourhood. Going for walks these days made me sad, or mad, because the story had no good ending.

I kept thinking, "How do I love you, my neighbour, like I'm supposed to? I have decided after this is all over, I will finally have all my neighbours over for dinner. I will write this invitation on a piece of paper and stick it on my kitchen window for them to read, for old, bad times’ sake.   Maybe we can have a little laugh together about how we tried to be kind. We’ll say even during the hard time, nothing can lock us.

5 . 阅读短文回答问题。

When I went off to college in the fall of 1991, I was an 18-year-old man whose favorite letters were the ones on the sports sweater. Four years later, I was crazy about the letters of the poet Keats, but one author’s penned letters stood out above the rest. You see, my father wrote me one letter per week from the time I left home.

In an age before email, these letters seemed too ordinary. But they arrived. Each week. One after another. Again and again. In snowstorms. On holidays. From foreign countries. They detailed what Dad referred to as “the week that was”—a day-by-day description of my father’s life.

In 1995, I graduated from college, like many 22-year olds, with plenty of uncertainty. Some of my questions were pretty typical: What was I going to do? Where was I going to live? When was I going to apply for graduate school? But one question was more vital than any other thing. What would happen to the weekly letters? Would they continue? To my surprise, the letters kept coming, more heartfelt and emotional than before and always on time. I mean the guy never missed.

As much as I enjoyed my father’s weekly letters, I didn’t fully appreciate them all those years when they arrived like clockwork. And I never fully understood why my dad would always ask if I’d received the letter when we spoke.

But now, as I pen my first official letters to my own sons Jackson and Cassius, it all seems clear. Although our boys have yet to leave for college, I have to accept that day will soon come. Just the idea of their leaving from our home makes me ache with sadness only a parent can know.

I am writing about “the week that was” with my daily details. With a box of over 500 of Dad’s letters nearby and his pen in hand, I write a letter, fighting back the tears I make it to the end and sign it just as he did. All my love, Dad.

1. What did the author’s father keep doing for years?
2. What does the sentence “the guy never missed” tell us about the author’s father?
3. When did the author come to realize the importance of his father’s letters?
4. Why would the author’s dad always ask if the author had received his letters?
