You, too? I thought I was the only one.” Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.It seems that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher (哲学家) Aristotle once said, “Some define (下定义) it friendship as a matter of similarity; They say that we love those who are like ourselves.”Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a debate (讨论) and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists scanned (扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity.According to their scans, friends who watched the same video clips (视频片段) reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation (动力), learning and memory.However, people who werent friends had different reactions to the same clips.Having close friends whose brains react like ours “may be rewarding (有益的) because it reinforces (加强) ones own values, opinions, and interests,” lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.34 . What does “this idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AWe like those who like us first.BMany friendships start with small chats.CPeople who are similar to each other might become friends.DFriends try to develop similarities between themselves.35 . What did the scans of the students brains show?AThey had watched the same video clips.BFriends had similar reactions to the same clips.CWatching videos improves ones memory.DIts good to have friends who react similarly.36 . According to the story, what else may help build friendship?ABeing fun and helpful.BStudying at the same college.CHaving a similar appearance to someone else.DBeing physically close.37 . Which of the following is probably the best title of this passage?ADevelop Real FriendshipBBeing Physically CloseCFriends Think AlikeDThe Way of Building FriendshipThe world has many beautiful sounds. We can hear the songs of birds and the laugh of people. We can listen to cool music and news reports. And its all because of our ears! They bring us a world of sounds.But some people cant hear any sound at all. Some are born deaf. Others can hear well in their childhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.Many people in China cant hear ordinary sounds clearly. Lots of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But six children of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, he or she usually will also have some learning problems at school.A lot of things can cause hearing problems, like, too muchearwaxis not good for our hearing. And noise louder than 85 decibels (分贝) can hurt our ears and make us lose our hearing for a short time or even for ever.Hearing is important for all of us. So we should do our best to give our ears special care. Dont forget to do the following: Try to stay away from places with too much noise. If you have to go, wear earplugs. When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in. Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your parents to help you clean it out.Keep these things in mind._.38 . What does the underlined word “earwax” mean in the passage?A耳膜B耳鸣C耳垢D耳疾39 .

This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather rent (租用) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn (赚得，挣得) passing grades in the class and also pass their state drivers exam, they can drive themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required (要求)to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students need to join in after-school activities. These activities include(包括) sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.63 . in an American High SchoolOutlineDetailsIntroductionIt gives an overview of a typical American high school and its64 .
