23、 A headache is the feeling you get when your head hurts. Headaches can differ from very mild to incredibly powerful. They can last anywhere from 10 minutes to hours. Very bad headaches are called migraines. People who suffer from migraine headaches often need to take the day off from school or work and lie in bed all day.
Why do people get headaches? There are many possible causes. People who drink too much caffeine (in coffee or soft drinks, for example) or alcohol can end up with headaches. This is because these kinds of drinks take water away from the body. If the brain doesn’t have enough water, it gets smaller and pulls away from the head. This can be extremely painful. The best way to get rid of this kind of headache is just to drink lots of water.
Tension headaches happen when the body's muscles are too tight. When people feel stress, it is common for the muscles near the head to become tense. Tension headaches might also be caused by not getting enough sleep. Some people suffer from tension headaches for only short times but for other people, these kinds of headaches are a chronic problem that happens again and again. A massage (按摩) might help to stop a tension headache. If that doesn't help, you might need to see a doctor.
Headaches can also be caused by much bigger health problems. For example, a head or neck injury can cause them. Headaches can also be a warming sign of a heart attack.
【1】In the article, how long can a headache last?
A.at least 10 hours. B.about 10 minutes.
C.from minutes to hours D.more than 10 hours.
【2】Why can caffeine cause headaches?
A.Because it makes the head gets smaller.
B.Because it makes the skull gets bigger.
C.Because it takes water away from the body.
D.Because it gives the body too much water.
【3】The word 'chronic' in paragraph 3 have the same meaning with______.
A.terrific B.repeated
C.rare D.interesting
【4】Why should someone with lots of headaches visit a doctor?
A.They might need to drink water. B.They might need to talk.
C.They might have a bigger problem. D.They might need more medicine.
24、How to Make Friends, According to Science
Friendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.
The human wish for companionship (交往) may be no end, but research suggests that our social capital (资本) is finite (有限的)—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates (估计) ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However large our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may become smaller: From 1998 to 2017, the average (平均的) number of trusted friends decreased (减少) from three to two. This is both sad and of important result, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.
So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the ordinary acquaintance (交情). Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well—being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.
If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly get back the trust they built before, while offering each other a dash of novelty(新奇)drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure (自我表露) makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.
Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling (跌跌撞撞) through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.
【1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that ______.
A.a strong social relationship means a long life
B.real friendships are based on the exchange of presents
C.people’s inner circle becomes smaller
D.people’s social networks depend on their wish for companionship
【2】What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life?
A.Sharing secrets with close friends.
B.Choosing likable people as friends.
C.Avoiding the ordinary acquaintance.
D.Spending time for deeper friendships.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The tips on how to develop friendship.
B.The reasons for seeking companionship.
C.The benefits brought by a good social life.
D.The relationship between friendship and happiness.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写使之构成一个完整的故事。
On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail “We’re sorry, but your work assignment has ended.” My heart sank.
I wasn’t just a single parent; I was the only parent. I did everything I could to give Kristil a good life, but there were some things my love couldn’t fix. The next day as we searched for our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed the Christmas tree prices. Empty-handed, we returned home.
Over the next week, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. All applications ended in vain. I felt as if the world was closing in on me. On a weekend afternoon, I dropped Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party of her classmate. I watched as she went in, surrounded by all the nice things we couldn’t afford. I drove home defeated.
Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing on and off all morning. I noticed a small woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind. She got out. I realized it was my old professor, Esther Heffernan. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months ago. I’d first met Esther 10 years earlier, when I was her student at Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin. Kristil was 3 at the time, and I sometimes took her to class. Esther was understanding and would bring coloring books to occupy Kristil. After I graduated, she kept in touch, meeting me for lunch every few months. I had grown to love her like family.
