You sometimes feel so close to your friends that they are like family to you. Why? A study by San Diego, a professor, has found you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Maybe this gives you the answer.
Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match.
“One percent may not sound like much to laypersons (外行),but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a huge number,” Professor Nicholas said. “In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.'
So is it a coincidence (巧合) that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar sensitivity to the cold were more likely to help each other. They would make a fire to, give themselves a better chance to live. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those influencing the sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments.
Based on the findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can calculate how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.
So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test to know who your friends are going to be?
1.You sometimes feel close to your friends because_________.
A.they act like your family B.you spend much time together
C.you influence each other a lot D.you have more genes in common

A.Our friends are actually relatives of ours.
B.One percent sounds like much to laypersons.

D.Our fourth cousins have the same great-great grandparents as us.
3.What kind of genes are the most similar in friends?
A.The genes that make people have similarities in the look.
B.The genes that make people smell things in the same way.
C.The genes that make people have a similar sensitivity to the cold.
D.The genes that make people develop a similar taste in music.

Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you?
It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes(基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1, 932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1% of genes that match.
“1% of genes may not sound like much to the layperson(外行), but to geneticists(遗传学家) it is a larger number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.
So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution(进化) that brings you together.
People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility(易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to stay alive.
Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes(咖啡馆) more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other.
With their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.
So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance(提前) who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge?
1.From the passage, we know that friends ________.
A.look like our cousin B.share 1% of genes with us C.feel close to our family D.can help us when we feel cold
2.According to the passage, the writer probably agrees ________.
A.we develop our friendship by chance B.our genes decide who we can make friends with
C.everyone should take the test called “friendship score” D.people sharing certain genes have skills and interests in common
3.The writer takes the example of ancient people in Paragraph 5 to ________.
A.study how ancient people dealt with the cold B.predict that similar environments lead to friendship
C.prove that it is evolution that brings friends together D.explain why ancient people gave each other chance to keep alive
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Friendship: Its Influence on People and Behavior B.Friendship: Its Benefits to Teens and Decision Making
C.Friendship: Is It Necessary to Be Judged by Time? D.Friendship: Is It Possible to Be Influenced by Genes?

You never know these people who may be a classmate, a neighbour or a friend—but when you lock your eyes on them, you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.
Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant, painful, or frustrating at first. But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or will power(意志力).
The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about truth and the importance of being careful of people around.
Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they are sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbour, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will influence your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties, you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

If someone hurts you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious(谨慎的) to whom you open your heart.
_______________________. Enjoy every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they say. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high spirit. So if you're having a bad day and need a boost，then help is just a click away.
A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be“the nicest place on the Internet"，where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.
The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.
The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.
"We tried to become cheerful，but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good.So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet," he explained on his website.
One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said,“it's a fun and
exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love.”
Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音)diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.
1.The underlined word "boost" in paragraph 1 probably means
A.鼓舞 B.放松 C.休闲 D.提高
2.The website was created in order to_______
A. provide a place for those who want to post their videos

D. offer something positive to cheer people up
3.According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries.
