• 2．    In this digital age，people measure their popularity by the number of "likes" and followers they get on social media.But as it turns out，people are happier when their friends are of high quality rather than huge quantity.
     Scientists from the University of Leeds in the UK studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1，500 people.Those who took the survey gave details about their age，social interactions，and how satisfied they were with their social lives.The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial （关系浅表的） friends.
     "Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have，and more to do with how you feel about your friends，" said Bruine de Bruin，one of the researchers.
     He found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people，but the people in these circles tended to be closer to tjye.aim.He also found that younger people tended to have larger social circles that were made up of "peripheral（次要的） others"— people who are not their true friends，but just the ones they know.These people had no influence on their happiness.
     The results of the study show that the opinion society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be accurate.
     "The research shows that older adults' smaller networks don't decrease their social satisfaction and happjye.aiess.In fact，older adults tend to report a better sense of well-being than younger adults，" said Bruine de Bruin.
  
  （1）According to the study，people tend to be happier when they

  .
  A．have friends of huge quantity
  B．have a small circle of close friends

  B．Younger people don't need to make peripheral friends.
  C．Older people's happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
  D．Both older and younger people find it hard to make close friends.
  （3）Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults？

  
  A．Sad.
  B．Happy.
  C．Lonely.
  D．Concerned.
  （4）What is the focus of this article？

• 3．ㅤAs cities balloon with growth，access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you're lucky，there might be a pocket park near where you live，but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
  ㅤPast research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans，but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
  ㅤThe research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park -goers，asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions，coding （编码） experiences into different categories.For example，one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."
  ㅤAcross the 320 submissions，a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions，half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife，walking along the edge of water，and following an established trail.
  ㅤNaming each nature experience creates a usable language，which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example，the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday，they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
  ㅤ"We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen，we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it，" said Peter Kahn，a senior author of the study.
  
  （1）What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text？

  
  A．Pocket parks are now popular.
  B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
  C．Many cities are overpopulated.
  D．People enjoy living close to nature.
  （2）Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories？

  
  A．To compare different types of park-goers.
  B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
  C．To analyze the main features of the park.
  D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
  （3）What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5？

  
  A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
  B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
  C．The same nature experience takes different forms.
  D．The nature language enhances work performance.
  （4）What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn？

  
  A．Language study.
  B．Environmental conservation.
  C．Public education.
  D．Intercultural communication.

• 9．    Joey was so excited he could hardly wait to get to the store.He walked so fast that his sister Beth had to run. "Do you have to hurry like that？" she puffed.On his way from school he had seen that baseball cap in Rogers' store window.Only a dollar，and this was the last cap!Joey had looked at the cap a long time.He wanted it more than anything.Every boy at school had one.
     Joey thought of his piggy bank，into which he put every coin for running errands （差使） for his family and neighbors.
     Joey raced home，not stopping for anything.He held the fat iron pig，opened it carefully，and poured out the coins.Ten...twenty...thirty...ninety cents.If only he had one more dime （一角硬币）!
     Lost in thought，Joey stared out the window. "What's wrong，Joey？" asked Mother.Joey told about the money and the cap. "If you give me what you have，I'll add a dime，" Mother said，handing him a dollar bill. "I'll have some errands for you tomorrow."
     Joey jumped up. "Oh，thanks，Mom.That's great!" And away went Joey and Beth to the store with the dollar bill in Joey's pocket.
     They turned the last corner.Ahead was a group of boys and girls，talking heatedly and looking down at the sidewalk.
     One of the children was Ronny，a new boy who had been in this town only a short time.Ronny's father had been sick，so there wasn't much money for extras -- like baseball cap.
     "What's the matter？" Beth asked，anxiously.
     "It's Ronny，" answered Susan. "He's been working and finally saved up a whole dollar，and now it's lost!"
     Joey went over to Ronny.
     "We'll all help look.We'll find it!"
     "Ronny was going to get that last cap in Rogers' window，" put in Billy.
     "I wanted it a lot.I want to join them." Ronny said slowly.
     Suddenly Joey remembered how Ronny had watched the fellows playing baseball，his eyes lighting up eagerly as they shouted and ran.
  
  注意：
  （1）续写词数应为 150 左右；
