【题目】 "What! 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 from 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 America 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. At the same time, scientists scanned(扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity.

Similar parts of their brains became active while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation (动力), learning and memory. According to their scans, friends who watched the same videos parts reacted in similar ways. However, people who weren't friends has different reactions to the same video parts.

Having close friends whose brain react like ours may be useful because it makes one's own value, opinions, and interests stronger, 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. Is this experiment, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.

1What does "this idea " in Paragraph 3 refer to ?

A. Many friendships start with small chatsB. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.

C. People with similarities may become friendsD. We like those who like us first.

2What did the scans of the students' brain show?

A. They had watched the same video parts

B. Friends had similar reactions to the same video parts

C. Watching videos improves one's memory

D. It's good to have friends who react similarly

3According to the story, what else may help build friendship?

A. Being fun and helpfulB. Studying at the same college

C. Having similar appearanceD. Being physically close

【题目】阅读与回答问题。

When Dr, Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.

Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.

Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.

What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.

That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

【题目】I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people, It would be hard to find a person who is neutral( 中立的 ),or simply doesn’t care one way or the other, What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.

Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter, Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论 )is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.

Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life.

They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.
