21、We have an amazing 99 friends at the age of 21--more than at any other time in our life, according to a new study. The typical 21-year-old’s social circle nearly hits 100, with 13 “best” friends, 17 “close” friends and 70 acquaintances.

The research undertaken by skin care brand Nivea found our social circle peaks at 21 as we meet people at work while keeping in touch with friends from school and university. But as our working lives take over，we lose contact with some old friends causing the number to drop to around 68 by the time we are 29 years old. Although this decline continues into old age，it slows down slightly for people in their 30s when many of them become first-time parents. It is believed that this is because people form new friendships while on the maternity ward(产科病房)，at post­-natal(产后) groups and when taking their toddlers(学步时期的小孩) to nursery.

The Nivea Closeness Report found the balance between our numbers of “best friends”，“close friends” and “acquaintances”，remains fairly constant throughout our lifetime. The average Briton has 18 close friends and a friendship circle，when all Facebook and other social networking “friends” are included，of 208 people. The report found that men have more than twice the number of close friends，with around 27 compared to women who have just 12. Londoners are also the most sociable，with 39 “close friends”，while the Welsh have just 11.

The age of 21 is such a critical junction in life and that’s why we have so many friends then. As we get older we become more selective and have fewer close friends with whom we talk about the things that are really important to us. Perhaps when we are younger，instead of having one trusted confidante(知己) we share different things with a variety of different people.

【1】According to the Nivea Closeness Report，who have the largest number of close friends?

A．Canadians. B．The Welsh.

C． Londoners.   D．Americans.

【2】Older people have fewer friends than the 21-­year­-olds because   .

A．they think friends are no longer important

B．they are more selective and cautious

C．they are less interested in making friends

D．they have little time to make friends

【3】The research suggests that the number of friends in one’s late twenties reduces by or so, compared to that in one’s early twenties.

A．70   B．20   C．30   D．200

【4】Why does the number of one’s friends decrease slowly when he is about 30 years old?

A．Because they achieve success in business and get acquainted with more colleagues.

B．Because many parents make friends with people who have similar experiences in bringing up children .

C．Because they make more friends through Facebook or the Internet.

D．Because as they grow older, they have more confidantes instead of acquaintances.

22、For many young Chinese, neither “The Shepherd in Keketuohai (《可可托海的牧羊人》),” nor the name of its original singer, Wang Qi, sounds familiar. Their parents, however, may know every word in the song.

Such generational divides in musical tastes aren’t unusual. Most middle-aged Chinese people may have first encountered the song in the popular short-video app Douyin. Some Douyin users might not be familiar with a song while others are constantly hearing it, which is the result of the platform’s highly personalized recommendation. They are able to produce different video feeds for each user based on their musical preferences and tastes.

“The Shepherd in Keketuohai” is just one of the latest songs that has achieved wild popularity within a specific market sector on the app. Behind the amusing phenomenon, however, lies a challenge: Douyin and other short-video platforms are changing the face of the music industry, leaving once-powerful labels (唱片公司) struggling to adapt, while making artists increasingly anonymous (不知名的).

In the five years since its launch in 2016, Douyin has grown into one of China’s biggest platforms for pop music. The sheer variety and scale of the app’s user base mean all styles can find an audience, and an increasing number of artists now choose Douyin to debut their new songs in the hopes of achieving a viral (流行的) hit.

One of the most popular uses for music on Douyin is known as a challenge video. Short clips from songs are played over a well-designed dance, which creators then challenge their followers to imitate. If a given dance challenge shows promise, it is quickly pushed to a larger user pool. A lot of smaller music companies have benefited from this trend. By having created a new market, it has reshaped China’s music industry.

Also, this trend is having an impact on our relationship to music. Users often find they can hardly recognize or remember the artists’ names or the titles of popular songs. Meanwhile, the songs themselves are often cut up to focus only on their catchiest (朗朗上口的) parts, while covers often achieve far more fame than the originals.

【1】What causes the divides in familiarity with songs between Douyin users?

A．Douyin’s personalized recommendation.

B．Musical preferences for original singers.

C．Words of different songs.

D．Generational divides in tastes.

【2】What is an effect of Douyin on the music industry?

A．It disturbs the development of music market.

B．All music styles achieve wild popularity.

C．Newly-founded labels find it hard to adapt.

D．The original singers become less-known.

【3】What does the underlined word “debut” mean in the 4th paragraph?

A．Sell.

B．Launch.

C．Finish.

D．Entitle.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Why “The Shepherd In Keketuohai” Is Popular.

B．How Douyin Creates Viral Hits In New Ways

C．How Douyin Is Reshaping the Chinese Music Industry

D．What Impact The New Trend Has On Music Companies

23、How to make true friends

Whether your friendship lasts for a season or a lifetime, here are some ways to make true friends.

Be friendly to people. Your actions should show them that you are a true friend and, in return, they will probably be a true friend to you as well. 【1】 You can't expect someone to be a true friend if you're not a true friend.

【2】 Although life changes may separate you, you can call each other on the phone, visit each other, write letters, send cards, and communicate online through email and social networking sites.

Find friends with some similar interests. You don't have to have everything in common, but it would be helpful if you had some things in common. 【3】

Learn the difference between good friends and bad friends. 【4】 They are always honest with you and they don't do things to hurt you. Bad friends are those who do not seem to value the friendship. They may never be there for you when you need them or do things that are hurtful to you.

【5】 Once you recognize the differences in good friends and bad friends, decide which friends you want to stay connected with and which ones you're better off without. The friends who will stick with you through good times and bad times are true friends. Let them know that you appreciate your friendship and be sure to stay a true friend to them.

B．Keep in touch with each other.

C．Accept your friends for who they are.

D．You have to treat people the way you want to be treated.

E．Show your respect to your friends no matter what happens.
