our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months,atwhich we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 monthswith men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research,by Forever Friends,shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friendswhile at schoohwith about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building newfriendship.The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebookcompared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12,and 35 to 44-yea-olds who make just four.Forever Friends*relationship coach Sam Owen says,It is no coincidence that over a third of usmeet our best friends at school.lt is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing throughsharing notes,giving gifts,seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.As adults we can oftenforget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.1Later in life we find ourselves losing friends.Over half of us lose friendship through amoving,while 36%say that over time they grow apart from close pals.Having children alsocauses 19%to childhood friends.With growing pressures being put on friendship these days,its important to make time for ourfriendship.8.How many friends can a 20-year-old college student

is this passage most probably taken from?A.Facebook.B.An advertisement.C.A textbook.D.A newspaper.DWhat does it mean to cry over a book?Im a reader who did not weep.Ruth Graham,awell-known critic,wrote.Does this make me heartless?Or does it make me a grown-up?Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel.Readers have alwaysasked about the role that emotion plays in reading：What does it mean to be deeply moved bya book?Which books are worthy objects of our feelings?In different times,people answered those questions in different ways.In the 18th century,whenthe novel was still a new form,crying was a sign of readers virtue.Sentimental novels,full oftouching scenes,gave readers an occasion to exercise their finer feelings*.Your tear provedyour susceptibility（易感，性）to the suffering of others.At that time,sentimental novels were hugely popular,but also easy to attack.Tears,after all,hadno necessary connection to actual virtue,and they could be fake.There could also be toe manyof them.As the critic John Mullan points out,by the end of the eighteenth century,the wordsentimentar had acquired a new meaning addicted to indulgence（沉溺）in superficial（肤浅的）emotion-bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today.In the 19th century the meaning of tears evolved in two different directions.Some writers第4页，共21页sought to waken“higher”feelings in their readers：Victorian sentimentalists wrote touchingscenes in an effort to inspire social and political refbrm.However,the”sensation novel,adifferent type of Victorian best-seller,showed that tears could be enjoyable inthemselves.Sensation novels were the forerunners（先导）of the modern thriller andmystery.Heavy on secrets,and madness,they were known for creating physical sensations intheir readers-trembling,a fast beating heart,and tears.But these were tears without moralpurpose or effect.Todays debate about crying while reading looks back on all of this history.The debate,in fact,isabout why books matter to us,and what reading is for.Talking about what makes us cry is away of talking about ourselves.12.What was peoples attitude towards crying over novels in the early 18th century?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Unclearing.D.Worried.13.According to the text,sensation n o v e l s.A.were similar to the modern thriller and mysteryB.were the same as sentimental novelsC.aimed for social and political reformD.tended to amuse the readers14.How does the author present this text?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of importance.15.Whats the best title for the text?A.Crying While Reading Through Centuries.B.The History of The Novel.C.Sentimental Novels&Sensation Novels.D.Why Books Matter to Us.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike?You never forget how to ride a bike,but most of usforget how hard it was to learn.（1）.Heres what to keep in mind when
