26、Small talk – the likes of “What do you have there? Popcorn?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” – is meaningless and a waste of time, according to some people. But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it may appear to be.

One example comes when you are on a train or a plane. The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you can be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be awkward. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or occupy themselves with their phones.

In the study, researchers asked people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with fellow travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first because they expected not to get a friendly answer. But the result turned out to be just the opposite – most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talk to.

“Human beings are social animals, ” Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science. “Other people are people, too. And it turns out that they’d like to get to know you. ”

Apart from making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people a/re frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they tend to have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.

And if you are already comfortable enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”.

A 2010 study proved that having a deep and meaningful conversation gives you even more happiness than small talk. Participants in the study – 79 college students – reported after the four-day experiment that they were much happier when they had a third as much small talk and twice as many in-depth conversations.

But deep conversations can start with small talk, can’t they? So the first step is to start talking, no matter how casual the topic is. And who knows, maybe an opening line as simple as “I like your hat” could lead to a serious conversation in which you learn something new from a stranger.

【1】What is the reason for the result of the study by the University of Chicago, according to Nicholas Epley?

A．Most people are nice to strangers.

B．People are naturally curious about others.

C．People are afraid of loneliness or boredom.

D．People try to show their good side to strangers.

【2】Which of the following is a benefit of small talk ?

A．Wasting less time.

B．Developing useful contacts.

C．Disconnecting from phones for a while.

D．Feeling like you are a part of your surroundings.

【3】According to the 2010 study, in what way can people get more happiness from talking with strangers?

A．Starting with serious topics.

B．Starting with casual topics.

C．Making it important and deep.

D．Choosing pleasant surroundings.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward small talk?

A．Supportive.

B．Negative.

C．Doubtful.

D．Objective.

27、   Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived. I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modem childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

【1】According to the author, people enjoy   to seek nature.

A.running in the gym B.jogging on the street

C.shopping in the supermarket D.sitting in the garden

【2】From the second paragraph, we can see that   .

A.climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

B.children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

C.adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

D.children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

【3】In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A.Children with ADHD can be cured.

B.Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

C.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

D.Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Getting close to nature improves our life.

B.Nature can treat the children with ADHD.

C.Playing in nature reduces aggressive behaviour.

D.Human beings can not live without natural areas.

28、   Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight route from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent question over the loudspeaker： "Does anyone on board know American Sign Language?" Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf," she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia （读写困难）and knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she untied her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle （过道）seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you? Are you OK?" Tim asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat.

She came by again a bit later because Tim wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed a while. "He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk," Clara says. So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future （she wants to be a politician）. Tim told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.

"Even though Tim couldn't see her, she looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported. "Clara was amazing," a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. "You could tell Tim was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel. " Tim's reaction: "Best trip I've ever had."
