Her face lit up like thesun and she waved excitedly saying, "Hi, old person! It's my birthday today!" "Hello, littlelady! And how old are you today?" He asked. They chatted for a few seconds.We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later, Norah asked me, "Can Itake a picture with the old man for my birthday?" I thought the old man couldn't have gonevery far. So we quickly found him. "Excuse me, sir? She'd like to know if you'd take a photowith her for her birthday," I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. "A photo? Withme?" He asked. "Yes! For my birthday!" Norah cheered. And so they posed together and thenthey hugged each other like they were long lost friends.We thanked Mr. Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He was moved totears and said, "No, thank you. This is the best day I've had in a long time. You've made mefeel so happy and valuable, Ms. Norah."Now, Norah and Mr. Dan often visit each other.

B) Pull out your cellphone.C) Make brief eye contact. D) Start a conversation.If your answer is B, you're like far too many of us, who tend to do just about anything toavoid conversation or even eye contact with strangers. And smartphones make it easier thanever to do that. But a body of research has shown that we might just be short-changing(亏待)our own happiness by ignoring opportunities to connect with the people around us.Several years ago, psychologist Elizabeth Dunn and her colleague Gillian M. Sandstromtested whether short conversations with strangers could lift moods. They asked participants toenter a busy coffee shop and grab a drink-half would just get in and get out, and half wouldstrike up a conversation with the waiter. "We found that people who were randomly assignedto turn this economic behavior into a quick social interaction, left the coffee shop in a bettermood," Dunn says. Why, if connecting with others makes us happy, do we so often avoid it?Social anxiety could be preventing these types of interactions, says behavioral scientistNicholas Epley. His experiments revealed that train and bus commuters(通 勤 者 ) whointeracted with other passengers experienced a more pleasant ride-even when they believedthey would prefer reading a book. It is fear that the person sitting next to us won't enjoytalking to us that makes us keep to ourselves, Epley found.So, how can we avoid the risks of loneliness and stop short-changing our own happiness?It might be easier than you think. Start with folks like the cashier in a grocery store or thewaiter at your local coffee shop, Dunn says. You've got to interact with them anyway, so youmight as well make an effort to turn it into a friendly exchange.8. What can be learned about those who choose B as an answer?A. They are addicted to the digital world.B. They feel uncomfortable being stared at.C. They enjoy connecting with familiar people much.D. They hate making small talks with people unknown to them.9. What were the happier participants in Dunn's study asked to do?版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！ A. Speak to the waiter.B. Avoid asking for change.C. Choose a drink randomlyD. Get out of the coffee shop quickly.10. Why did commuters avoid interacting with other passengers according to Epley?A. To protect their privacy.B. Due to fear of rejection.D. To enjoy views outside.C. Due to busy schedules.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The benefits of avoiding loneliness.B. The benefits of pleasant commutes.C. The benefits of talking with strangers.D. The benefits of interacting with local people.DYou might have ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet,no matter how different their backgrounds are. Or you may have seen that one person whoalways offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is. These two situationsdescribe how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to othersaround us. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic abilities, we can vary in howsocially qualified we are. After years of academic research and development, this socialability is now commonly referred to as "social intelligence."Social intelligence is the ability to understand other people, how they work, whatmotivates them, and how to work cooperatively with them. It is a relationship-based conceptthat centers on the way we understand others, interact with others, and present ourselves toothers. As an example, you would not speak in the same way toward your 70-year-old motheras you would to your 16-year-old daughter. In our working lives, we come across differentsocial groups including those from different countries, varying age groups and culturalidentities. Being able to acknowledge and understand people's different backgrounds is a keyway to connect with them.Our ability to navigate successfully through our lives relies heavily on our levels ofsocial intelligence. It can affect the relationships we form with our partners and children, thefriendship circles that we build, and our ability to progress in our careers and ambitions.Given the importance of social intelligence in multiple aspects of life, it is therefore in ourbest interest to better understand the concept of social intelligence.12. What is the first paragraph meant to suggest?A. Creativity is crucial to one's research.B. There are differences in people's social intelligence.版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！ C. People's social abilities depend on their backgrounds.D. Academic research varies from person to person.13. Why does the author use the example of mother and daughter?A. To further illustrate a concept.C. To clearly show a viewpoint.B. To finally reach a conclusion.D. To sincerely show a fact.14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Our relationship circles should be enlarged.B. Better understanding a concept is important.C. It is really difficult to achieve one's ambition.D. Social intelligence has great impacts on our lives.15. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to define social intelligence.B. How to classify social intelligence.C. How to enhance social intelligence.D. How to deal with social intelligence.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In many cultures, small talk is a big deal. 16._ it is actually very important forcommunicating and bonding with others.According to US inspirational speaker Wadsworth, "Small talk is about making use ofpossibilities." 17._ which can lead to friendships, jobs, or other goals.
