If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher(哲学家) Aristotle once said, “Some define(下定义) 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 discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were 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 because it makes ones won values, opinions, and interests strength,”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 neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.22 .

According to the story , what else may help build friendship?ABeing fun and helpfulBStudying at the same college.CHaving similar appearancesDBeing physically close.26 . The best title of the passage is “_”AWhat is friendshipBFriends can think alikeCAn experiment about friendshipDHow can we build friendshipDo you often talk with your parents?

They appear only late at night to lay their eggs in holes. They dig these holes with their hind flippers.When they have finished laying their eggs, they fill up the holes with sand and return to the sea. The mother turtles never see their babies. The hot sun keeps the eggs warm until they hatch. Then the baby turtles will go back to the sea to begin their new lives. In the past, many people came to dig up the eggs after the mother turtles had left. They took the eggs to town to sell.Since 1962, the Malaysian government has built high fences around the sand beach to stop people from digging and selling the eggs, because people are afraid that there will be fewer and fewer turtles there.The giant turtles lay their eggsfrom153 . to54 .

Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. Thats because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider (提供者) you are using For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. Thats enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you havent contacted (联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canadas mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.59 . Is China the only country that uses 11-digit mobile phone numbers in the world?_60 . What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China?_61 . Why does China use 11 digits for mobile phone numbers?_62 .
