B

Friends aren’t just fun to have around; they actually help your health. A recent study finds that people who have a larger group of friends in their life live longer than those with few friends by 22%.

Friends help you develop healthy habits. Friends can influence you to make good health changes in your life. Going out with the girls, for example, may mean you see their healthy choices at lunch and do the same. A night out with the boys may include basketball or running rather than sitting in front of the TV. We often think of friends as a group that we have fun with, but a good time can also mean improving your world in some way. This is especially true when you have a lot of friends around you who want you to live a long and healthy life.

Friends help us meet the challenges differently. Failures (失败) can cause many kinds of physical problems in our bodies, but friends can change the way we deal with them and help our emotional (情绪的) health, which in turn allows us to meet the challenges in a stronger way.

Friends help you find diseases earlier. Sometimes, a friend notices something unusual about one’s health that he or she hasn’t even realized. They can point it out and encourage their friends to see a doctor.

Friends want us to be around a long time. Friends are very important in our life.

1.What do we learn from the recent study?

To joke around is to have fun with someone. To fool someone is to try to make them believe something that is not true. 1.

April 1st is known as the day to fool people with practical jokes, pranks or harmless tricks. 2. Some say April Fools' Day began as one big mistake.

Many centuries ago, people in the Western world used the Julian calendar. 3. However, when people began using the Gregorian calendar, the New Year was moved to January 1st. Those who forgot the change and tried to celebrate New Year's Day on the wrong date were teased and called ''April fools''. This is just one of the many theories behind the origin of April Fools' Day. 4.

The fool is a common character in art, music and literature. William Shakespeare is famous for his fools. And fools make for great pop songs. Fools are found in many words, expressions and proverbs. To be foolhardy means to do something that are too dangerous or risky. For example, it is foolhardy to hike up a mountain during a heavy snowstorm. If something is foolproof, it is planned or made so well that nothing could go wrong. 5.

''Look, I don't want to get into trouble. This plan of yours sounds risky. ''

''My plan is foolproof. Nothing will go wrong as long as you do exactly as I say. ''

A.Not even a fool could mess it up.

B.And that is the purpose of April Fools' Day.

C.They celebrated the New Year on April 1st.

D.Even a smart person can be a fool at times.

E.But the tradition remains the same—to fool someone.

F.Fools also find themselves in many proverbs.

G.But how did this tradition begin?

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. ＂It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.＂ Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, it is challenging (difficult)with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document (record) his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. ＂The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,＂ said the 30-year-old man.

Richardson describes traveling alone like ＂a shot in the arm＂, which ＂makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything＂. He said, ＂The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.＂

The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, ＂Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂

1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

2.Traveling alone is challenging because ____________.

A. you have to make things on your own

B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

C. it will finally build your character

D. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

A. He started traveling alone at an early age.

B. He was once shot in the arm.

C. He used to work as a salesman.

D. His website inspires others a lot.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Travel Abroad　　 B. Travel Alone

C. Travel Light　　 D. Travel Wide and Far
