Close friends, think alike?

"What! You, too? I believed I was the only one." Have you ever said something like this to someone? 1.

It seems that similarity often helps form friendship. The Greek thinker Aristotle once said, "People regard friendship as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like our-selves." 2. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar behaviors, Scientific American reported.

The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a test. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. 3.According to their scans, friends who watched the same video reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation(动机), learning and memory. 4.

"Seeing one's friends have similar behaviors will reinforce(强化)one's own values, opinions, and interests," lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. 5. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. The scientists did a test with first-year college students the first time they met in class. In this test, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.

A.Now, there is some science behind this idea.

B.If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.

C.Friends share a lot of similarities, though there are some differences.

D.But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship.

E.However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same videos.

F.At the same time, scientists scanned their brains and recorded their brain activity.

Friends are people who share similar values with us. And keeping strong friendships is an important part in most people's life. Friendships can help us fight against loneliness, get rid of anxiety(焦虑), and have better physical health. But it's hard to keep a friendship.

According to a research led by Megan Robbins, a professor at the University of California, the key to keeping a friendship is to use "we-talk". The researchers examined 30 different studies on over 5,000 people. This largest­ever analysis (分析) of "we-talk" suggested that the more we use the words "we" and "us", the happier and healthier relationships will be. The word "we" makes people much closer to each other. "It offers a deep understanding on whether people regard themselves as individuals (个体) or as a part of the whole. The use of words is a window that we can know about what people are thinking and feeling without asking themselves," Robbins said. Her research also found that "we-talk" was helpful to solve conflicts(冲突). It may bring about positive(正面的) thinking on the opposite side.

Comparing with "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the use of "I", "me", and "mine" more often when writing or speaking. Earlier, researchers from the University of Arizona, the US, examined a set of data that came from 4,700 people. They found that too much "I-talk" showed that someone was feeling stressed or experiencing negative feelings.

The two studies suggested that too much "I-talk" may make us feel bad. But "we-talk" may encourage us to be more positive. So next time when you're talking to a friend, try using more "we-talk". You may find yourself feeling more positive and the effects it has on your friend may be positive as well.

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.

We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.


When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.

Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.

1.From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who________.

A.is like themselves

B.has a sense of humor

C.is open-minded

D.lives an exciting life

2.People like staying in their comfort zone because they may________.

A.remain comfortable and special

B.be accepted easily and feel safe

C.find out more interesting things

D.discover differences among themselves

3.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.

B.To introduce ways to learn about the world.

C.To explain how people communicate with others.

D.To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.

How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered（递送）? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.

Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools（社交媒体工具） let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.

The digital （数字）age also enables us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

But when you friend people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.

If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old；a woman could be a man；we could even be sharing our information with criminals.

But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire（获得）friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.

1.Ways of making friends and communicating with them have changed greatly because of ________.

2.To stay in touch with our faraway friends, we can ________.

3.Online friendships can be real and meaningful if people ________ with each other.

4.The phrase “throw the baby out with the bathwater” means “________” in Chinese.

5.This passage mainly talks about ________ of making friends online.

A high school history teacher once told us, "If you make one close friend in school, you will be the most lucky. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life." Experience teaches that he is right. 1.

To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kinds of friendship we want. You may ask yourself the following questions.2. Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on surface?

For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough and that's all right.3. It's whether or not our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. If so, the sharing of personal experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships.

Bike-sharing is new for short journeys in cities. It is a good choice for the big cities to develop healthily.

A report found that shared bikes started the nation's love for bikes again. The love is not only among young people born in the 1980s and 2000s, but also among people over sixty. Now they are choosing bikes instead of cars to make short journeys in cities. If you have a smart phone, the nearest bike equipped with GPS will be easily found through a certain app on your phone. It can also be unlocked through the app and left anywhere in public for the next user. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you just need to pay one yuan.

It is said that bike-sharing will help improve the cities' environment. It not only helps solve the traffic problems, but also will help to make more use of space in cities. Take Beijing as an example. If more people choose shared bikes, an area of five Bird's Nest Stadiums(体育场)will be saved.

At the same time, there are some problems with shared bikes that people need to solve properly. For example, some people park the bikes in their home; some break up the bikes on purpose; and others even throw them into the river. Facing all these problems, everyone should raise their own awareness of protecting the bikes. We should not only enjoy them, but also value them and put them to good use.

A lot of people have asked me lately how I manage so many WeChat groups. I'll share a few of the secrets for it. Presently, I have more than 6, 200 people who subscribe(订阅)to my public account and at least 10, 000 in various groups. Some of them are my groups. Others are English language learning groups where I've been invited to share my free English lessons.

First, managing groups is really about managing people. The people who are connected with me are highly targeted for my lessons. They either joined one of my groups or they are in my Friends List. People have chosen to connect with me because they want to improve their English.

Second, I’m very slow at adding someone to a group. I let them connect to my public account (公众号)first. If people promote some kind of business, product or service, I don't want them in my groups. They’ll only cause me trouble. I delete(删除)them from my Friends' Circle quickly and make them disappear.

Third, if I don't want someone advertising in my group, I need to set rules for my group. I think putting ads in groups is the least effective way of promoting or advertising. I have two choices when someone breaks my rules. I can warm them. If they apologize, I will give them a second chance. If they don', kick them out of my group. It isn’t worth time to argue with them.
