21、 In this age of Facebook and Twitter, we are all supposed to have hundreds of friends. But in fact most of us have just two close friends — down from an average(平均水平) of three 25 years ago, a study says.
Researchers (研究者) say there is no need to worry about that. Instead, they say that while some of us may be getting “more vulnerable (脆弱的)”, many are becoming better at deciding who is their close friend.
The result seems unexpected. Because a lot of young people are trying to make as many “friends” as possible on the Internet.
According to Facebook, the average user usually has 130 friends, but many of these are people who are known by accident or people the user will never meet in real life.
But the researcher, Mr. Brashears says, although the circle(圈子) of friends is getting smaller, which may make us more vulnerable, we’re not as “lonely” as the result shows.
For his study, Mr. Brashears did a survey in more than 2,000 adults aged 18 and older. He found that, modern discussion networks have been smaller in size. It is the same as other researchers’ findings, but few people have become lonelier.
Researchers asked people to list the names of people they had discussed important matters with over the past six months. About 48% of them listed one name, 18 % listed two, and about 29% listed more than two names for these close friends.
On average, one person had 2.03 close friends. And just over 4% of them didn’t list any names.
【1】According to the study, how many close friends do most of us have?
A.25. B.2. C.3.
【2】The underlined word “unexpected” probably means “________” in the passage.
A.有趣 B.令人兴奋 C.意外
【3】About Facebook friends, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Facebook user never meet some Facebook friends in real life.
B.The average user usually has 310 friends.
C.Facebook friends are all old and close friends.
【4】The passage shows the result of the survey by ________.
A.giving advice B.telling stories C.listing numbers
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Many people are worrying about their circle of friends.
B.Researchers find many people have only two close friends.
C.Young people make as many friends as possible on the Internet.
22、
When students at Olathe East High School in the US got their CPR (心肺复苏术) training this winter, 15-year-old Seth Johnson paid close attention. Two weeks after his training, Seth helped his elder sister Claire use CPR to save their dad when he had a heart attack (心脏病发作).
That day, their father Mark was in their home when he suddenly felt quite sick. Then, things got worse. Hearing their dad shouting, Claire ran in and helped Seth pull their dad off the couch and lay him flat (平的). Claire called 911 and then started CPR.
Claire put her hands on the center of her dad’s chest (胸部) and began to push hard and fast about twice per second. She pushed on his chest 30 times, then gave two rescue breaths (人工呼吸).
Claire once took the same training course Seth did at school. After about four minutes of heavy chest compressions (胸部按压), she was tired and Seth had to take over. About two minutes later, medical workers arrived. Mark spent five days in hospital, but has since fully recovered.
Recent studies have shown that CPR saves less than 20 percent of people in these kinds of situations. But experts say it’s still worth trying. And the earlier it’s given, the more successful it’s likely to be. The American Heart Association has encouraged more schools to offer CPR training. As of last year, 38 states had laws asking students to learn it.
【1】CPR can be used to save a person when he/she ________.
A.has a bad headache B.has a heart attack
C.has been burned D.has trouble sleeping
【2】Paragraphs 2-3 were mainly written to ________.
A.explain how to do CPR B.describe how Claire saved her father
C.show how smart Claire was D.describe the CPR training course
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Claire did CPR on her own to save her father. B.Claire was never trained on how to do CPR.
C.Mark got worse after getting CPR. D.The CPR saved Mark.
【4】How long did Mark stay in hospital?
A.Four minutes. B.Two minutes. C.Six minutes. D.Five days.
【5】What can we infer from the story?
A.CPR can only be used in the early stage of a heart attack.
B.More than 80 percent of patients benefit from CPR.
C.Both Claire and Seth learned CPR at school.
D.All US schools require students to learn CPR.
