26、y had received emotional support from a friend in the last week, compared with 4 in 10 women, according to a 2021 survey from the Survey Center on American Life. Why is it so hard?

Besides, boys receive messages that growing up and “manning up” mean hiding their soft side-a mindset tha

28、t neuroscience, social science and developmental psychology all show is harmful to them. The drive to toughen up and never show vulnerability (脆弱) that restricts men from friendships can lead them to loneliness, violence and anger. “We consider relationships as feminine.” Sileo said. “If thats a fem

29、inine (女性特有的) thing, it becomes a weakness or inability if men admit to needing friendships. ”Thus, men seeking closeness might turn to those they see as better at building relationships and feel comfortable exploring their vulnerability with: the women in their lives and their romantic partners, ac

30、cording to Sileos research. It may seem like a good solution, but putting everything on a romantic partner can strain a relationship, whether it is going to a female partner exclusively for emotional support or depending on her to cultivate friendships and get-together for holidays and weekends. It

31、is crucial to have multiple people to go to for support for different perspectives. “Men need to know its not just a woman thing.” she said. “They need to know that men can do it, too. ”We live in a culture that clashes with our nature. If we raise children to go against their nature, we shouldnt be

32、 surprised if some of those children grow up to struggle. Research has shown expression of negative emotions improved mens emotional well-being, increased feelings of being understood and resulted in less reported loneliness. So just as many men make a great effort to eat right, exercise, succeed in

33、 their careers and raise children, men should prioritize developing friendships as well.8. Why does the author mention some numbers in the first paragraph?A. To inform a fact.B. To introduce the topic.C. To support an opinion.D. To make a comparison.9. What do we know about Dr. Frank Sileos research

36、 core of ice age sediment (沉积物) from northern Greenland has yielded the worlds oldest sequences of DNA. The 2 million-year-old DNA samples revealed the now largely lifeless polar region was once home to rich plant and animal life including elephant-like mammals known as mastodons (乳齿象), reindeer, ha

37、res, lemmings, geese, birch trees and poplars, according to new research published in the journal Nature on Wednesday. The finding is the work of scientists in Denmark who were able to detect and restore environmental DNA genetic material drop into the environment by all living organisms in tiny amo

38、unts of sediment taken from the Copenhagen Formation, in the mouth of a strait in the Arctic Ocean in Greenlands northernmost point, during a 2006 expedition. They then compared the DNA pieces with libraries of DNA collected from both extinct and living animals, plants and microorganisms. The geneti

39、c material revealed dozens of other plants and creatures that had not been previously detected at the site based on whats known from fossils and pollen records. “The first thing that blew our mind when were looking at this data is obviously this mastodon and the presence of it that far north, which

40、is quite far north of what we knew as its natural range,” said study co-author Mikkel Pedersen. The mix of temperate (温带) and Arctic trees and animals suggested a previously unknown type of ecosystem that has no modern equivalent one that could act as a genetic road map for how different species mig

41、ht adapt to a warmer climate, the researchers found. Love Dalen, a professor at the Centre for Palaeogenetics at Stockholm University, said the finding “pushed the envelope” for the field of ancient DNA. “Also, the findings that several temperate species (such as relatives of spruce and mastodon) li

42、ved at such high latitudes are exceptionally interesting,” he added. Further study of environmental DNA from this time period could help scientists understand how various organisms might adapt to climate change. “Its a climate that we expect to face on Earth due to global warming and it gives us som

43、e idea of how nature will respond to increasing temperatures” he explained.12. What can we know about environmental DNA from the passage?A. It makes it easier to understand individual species.B.

Sometimes its not just the hours we worry about wasting, _17_ the countless minutes spent on tiny chores, answering emails, replying to texts, waiting for other people. Often, when we worry about wasting time, we are comparing ourselves to how productive w
