5 . Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close friends in real life, a study has found. In a recent study, researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.

Social media, the researchers said, has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”. But instead of trying to amass friends, they added, a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you’re closest to.

Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization. People taking part in the study showed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted (交流) with families or neighbors, and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.

The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.

“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr Wändi Bruine de Bruin. Actually, it's often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.

If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.

1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amass” in Paragraph 2?

A．Play the role of.	B．Think highly of.
C．Take advantage of.	D．Increase the number of.

2. What can be learned from the scientists’ study?

A．Scientists did one online survey on 1,496 people.

B．People surveyed mentioned new forms of social networks.

C．People surveyed showed their ways to interact with families.

D．The number of friends was the only cause of people’s happiness.

3. What makes people happy in social life?

A．Living alone.

B．Having close friends.

C．Having good appearance.

D．Making as many friends as possible.

4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To advise us to make friends online.

B．To show us the importance of friends.

C．To present us with the findings of a study.

D．To tell us the problems causes by loneliness.

6 . When asked to point out one or two things that are the most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want, an end to the relationship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong — even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: consider the friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).

1. What would be the best title for the text?

A．Easy Ways to Make Friends	B．Ups and Downs is Friendship
C．How to Mend a Troubled Friendship	D．How to Take the Lead in Making Friends

2. “Wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person ________.

B．Avoid making mistakes.

C．Make an apology first.

D．Change our lifestyles.

10 . Children are excited to find brightly wrapped(包装的) presents under the tree on Christmas morning. They can’t wait to open the wrapping and get the toys that were on their wish lists, such as toy cars. But after the excitement wears off, those toys are usually left to the corner of the toy box and the kids are searching for something else to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

A study from the University of Toronto found that giving your child experiences as a gift, instead of toys, improves your child’s intelligence and makes stronger parent-child bonds. “Often the focus is only on whether someone likes a gift rather than focusing on a fundamental purpose of gift giving. Knowing that will foster(培养) relationships between the giver and the receiver,”said lead researcher Cindy Chan.

Chan suggested that when you are buying a holiday gift or birthday gift, you should buy something that kids can experience with you. This can be movie or concert tickets, a CD from a performance you already saw to keep the memory alive. For example, for kids, a trip to a museum, going ice-skating or a book that the family can read together over and over again are valuable gifts.

It is found that giving your kids too many toys can be counterproductive(适得其反) and make kids at a loss.The best way to make kids happy is to spend time together.

So, if you want happy and intelligent kids, spending time with them and making memories are the best gifts you can give them. That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be any toys but change the focus from getting things to making lasting memories.

1. How do children usually deal with toys after the excitement disappears?

A．They put them aside.

B．They give them to their friends

C．They add them to the wish lists.

D．They throw them into the rubbish bin.

2. What should people focus on when buying gifts according to Cindy Chan?

A．The advantage of giving toys.

B．The purpose of giving gifts.

C．The excitement caused by toys.

D．The gift receiver’s hobby.

3. What did Cindy Chan advise parents to do in Paragraph 3?

A．Do something together with kids.

B．Give kids well-wrapped presents.

C．Buy kids as many toys as possible

D．Encourage kids to do sport in school.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．A lesson from kids at Christmas

B．The pleasure of giving and receiving

C．Valuable gifts:popular among kids

D．Move over, toys and make room for memories
