After a tough year, friends have proven they have always been there for us. Choose Friendship Day 2021 to appreciate the connections you have in life or use this holiday to reach out to past friends and rekindle that bond.
National Friendship Day occurs every year on the first Sunday of August — August 7, 2022 — and celebrates the importance of loving, platonic relationships. For more than a century, we’ve celebrated the strength of friendship, and thanks to social media, we’re able to continue celebrating with our friends no matter where they are in the world.
Humans are the most social beings on earth: we need to relate to others, just as Abraham Maslow exposed in his Hierarchy of human needs. Our sociological needs motivate our behavior, encouraging us to make interpersonal relationships and connect with others on a deeper level. With such a huge need for human connection with people other than our significant other, it’s no wonder that we celebrate an entire holiday based on the importance of friendship.
National Friendship Day was originally a marketing strategy for Hallmark Cards in the 1930s. Founder Joyce Hall designated the day would take place on August 2 and decided it would be a day to celebrate the people closest to you — and send them a card or two in the process. It soon became a bigger deal than originally planned when the 1935 U.S. Congress pronounced the first Sunday of August as National Friendship Day.
The holiday continued gaining popularity, and in 1998 the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador of Friendship. In 2011, during their 65th session, the U.N. designated July 30 International Friendship Day.
Nowadays, we celebrate National Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August. Thanks to advancements in technology, it is easier to get in touch with friends, to share, and to be thankful for them.
This August 2, celebrate the lover you create and share with the family that you chose — the friends who get you through hard times and cheer you on during your most successful moments.

I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.
I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.
I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.
As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge—even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear.

Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal (语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture (姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words. For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word “no” instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a “thumbs (拇指) up” to show that you like or agree with something.
But now that we are spending more time online, we may not have as many in-person interactions as before. Because of this, our means of non-verbal communication has changed, but is still an important way to express our thoughts.
Our “digital body language” is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis (表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That’s when emojis can help in communication.
Whether using video chat to show our expression or sending an emoji, don’t forget the importance of digital body language and non-verbal communication.

A．Humans like living in groups. B．Humans need to communicate.
C．Humans depend on each other. D．Humans differ from other beings.
10．Why are the two examples mentioned in Paragraph 3

A．The way of communication. B．The voice messages we use.
C．The time we spend online. D．The invention of emojis.
12．How can emojis help in communication
A．By revealing the content. B．By helping us video chat.

As COVID-19 broke out and spread in the world, many countries are changing their social habits to reduce the risk of spreading the novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒). Here are some of the ways that greeting habits are changing around the world.
China
Loudspeakers tell people not to shake hands but to make the traditional gongshou gesture(a fist in the opposite palm) to say hello.
France
France is famous for its romantic greetings. They touch each other's cheeks and make a kissing sound. But now, this habit may be coming to a stop. Newspapers in France have begun publishing advice on how to replace kissing on the cheek. French etiquette(礼仪) expert Philippe Lichtfus said that simply looking into a person's eyes can be enough as a greeting.
Spain
The outbreak could also hit one of Spain's most important traditions—in the week before Easter, known as Holy Week, the faithful (信徒) queue up to kiss the hands or feet of sculptures of the Virgin Mary and the saints, seeking their protection. It's said that the ceremony could be banned.
Iran
Traditionally, people in Iran shake hands to greet one another. But today, a video has been popular in Iran, showing three friends meeting, hands in their pockets and two of them wearing masks, tapping their feet against each other as a greeting.

I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologised, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.
Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. “This isn’t family,” he replied, “though he might just as well have been are regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together.”
They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighbourhood 30 years ago, it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. “I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time. “But we used to find the time,” he said. “Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.
The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always delayed it.” reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement.
We had gone several kilometres and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”
“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.
“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away, I had to write a letter and post it.
17．Who wrote the letter
A．Tom. B．Old Ed.
C．The author. D．The driver’s grandchild.
18．What can be inferred from the passage about the driver
A．The driver regretted missing Ed’s funeral.
B．The driver regretted moving away from his neighbourhood.
C．The driver regretted forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards.
D．The driver regretted not being able to keep in touch with Ed.
19．What can learn about the author from Paragraph 4

B．The author had no intention to write to his friends.
C．The author had many great moments with his friends.
D．The author was good at expressing feelings to his friends.
20．What message does the passage probably try to convey

B．Life is unpredictable, so live each day as if it were your last.
C．Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words.

We are all born social and company to live happy and fruitful life. Healthy and supportive mutual relationships help reduce stress and promote the physical, mental and emotional well-being by building skills like time management, assertiveness(自信), sociability and empathy.
Making friends has made me feel secure. However, I have to be cautious to pick up friends sharing similar tastes and values. In addition, having added to one’s circle of friends helps one feel supported.
It is true that finding time to cultivate relationships is all about effective time management. My busy uncle finds time to catch up with family and friends during his tea and lunch breaks. Similarly my friend Somya uses her time on her way back home from work in her chauffeur-driven car to catch up with people. The modern inventions of SMS and e-mail help send wishes for birthdays and anniversaries to show your love and care.
Assertiveness is as much applicable to relationships. My friend Mohana emphasizes that neither being a passive observer nor being aggressive helps relationships. It is assertiveness in our relationships that opens the lines of effective communication. It emphasizes helping friends in need and also strengthens mutually supportive relationships.
It is also true that assertiveness by intuition promotes discretion of friends and helps Lalitha distinguish positive people from drains of energy. She can easily figure this out by the flow of the conversation, the way each feels understood, accepted and supported, and by how I feel, happy, bored or energized in the relationship. It also helps to know whether all benefit from each other’s positive aspects.
Handling stress in life is all about cultivating mutually supportive relationships and working on them. Manisha always says she feels great when sharing her feelings after a hard clay with people who share similar ideas. Actually we all need someone who would not just hear us, but listen to us, and we need to cultivate the art of listening and understanding people.
21．How can a busy person develop his/her social relationships
A．By inviting friends for dinner. B．By working hard for high salary.
C．By making friends with colleagues. D．By getting together in the intervals of business.

A．Being passive B．Being relaxed C．Being assertive D．Being aggressive
23．What can we inter from the passage
A．Mohana seems like a passive observer.
B．Lalitha has great powers of observation.
C．Manisha won’t get supportive social relationship.
D．Somya has trouble managing her time effectively.
24．What is the best title of the passage
A．Build Mutually Supportive relationship B．Applicable Relationships
C．Pick up Friends Supporting Us D．Relieve the Pressure in Life
The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearanice, attitude and manners.
A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.
When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don’t.

At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.
It’s a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.

On a sunny day in May at the Saline Royale in Arc-et-Senans, France, a group of about 20 primary schoolchildren, armed with a notebook about plants, flowers and nature, are getting practical experiences with the world of gardening and learning about the natural environment.
The children then explore the gardens of the Saline Royale, where each class is led by a professional gardener. Students are able to dig, plant, use tools and develop skills while learning about the flowers and plants around them.
It’s all part of the Manuterra program, a project for schools, started by the Foundation Enterprise Hermes. The program began in September 2021, and invites students aged 6 to 18 from Arc-et-Senans to design, make and tend a garden. Combining educational and environmental issues, the themes for each class will also be adapted to the children’s ages and abilities.
The program is designed to offer the participants a brief introduction of many environmental issues such as the life of the soil, biodiversity, the making and use of organic fertilizers and the influence of climate change. The program also encourages young children to work together and maintain the precious ecological (生态的) balance as well as become familiar with their everyday natural surroundings.
The program hopes that as the students learn from the gardens of the Saline Royale, they will be able to take away knowledge to cultivate their own space where they can grow various plants and flowers and preserve biodiversity for future generations.
“There is a drive to pass on knowledge to preserve the planet,” said Laurent Pejoux, director of this program. “Climate change makes us take responsibility, and Manuterra is a response to this in order for the younger generations to protect the environment.”
29．What are these children doing at the Saline Royale
A．Performing some physical activities. B．Getting some knowledge on agriculture.
C．Protecting the natural environment. D．Getting hands-on experiences in a project.
30．What is the purpose of the Manuterra program

C．To help the children know the value of hard work.
D．To offer the children a chance to survive the wild.
31．What does the underlined word “cultivate”in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Develop. B．Support. C．Imagine. D．Record.
32．What is implied in Laurent Pejoux’s words in the last paragraph
A．Everyone should adapt to climate changes.
B．It's beneficial for us to protect the environment.
C．The program makes a difference to the children.
D．The children need a drive to protect the environment.
After eight years of planning and billions of dollars in spending, the Middle East’s first world’s fair, Expo 2020, opened on October 2 in Dubai, with hopes that the months-long extravaganza(盛会) will draw both visitors and global attention to the city.
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed Expo 2020 back a year and may affect how many people are able to come to UAE, the United Arab Emirates. But the six-month-long exhibition still offers Dubai an important opportunity to show its unique East-meets-West appeal as a place where everyone is welcome to do business.
More than 190 nations are using their pavilions(展厅) at the huge Expo site to highlight their greatest tourist attractions and discoveries. The US pavilion, for example, has a copy of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, and China’s pavilion focuses on the country’s space future inventions. The UAE’s falcon-shaped pavilion, by far the site’s largest, takes visitors on a two-hour-long experience that explores the country’s 50-year history.
Other attractions include an African food hall, a huge mirror-like water fountain, a recently excavated(挖掘) royal Egyptian mummy, concerts and performances from around the world, and the option to dine on a $500 three-course meal with glow-in-the-dark cuisine.
Since the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, world’s fairs have long served as an opportunity for nations to meet, exchange ideas, present inventions, promote culture and build business ties. They have also seen the debut of some of humanity’s most important innovations. The first world’s fair held in the US in 1876 saw Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, the typewriter and a mechanical calculator make their first public appearances. Structures built for world’s fairs remain impressive landmarks to this day, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.

A．By giving examples. B．By providing data.
C．By making comparison. D．By introducing a concept.
35．What does the underlined word “debut” mean in the last paragraph
A．Side effect. B．Invention. C．First appearance. D．Realization.
36．Where is the text probably taken from
A．In a textbook. B．In a magazine. C．In a brochure. D．In a research paper.
Have you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family Why can’t they just see it my way The scientific explanation comes from cognitive (认知的) psychology; it’s a mental process known as information processing.
From a psychological perspective, you have your own internal set of core values, memories, and quality of emotion. With every external event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be flavored by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. In other words, you don’t see things as they are — you see things as you are.
You have a process for filtering information and it may strike you as being odd, to say the least, when others don’t subscribe to the same beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. What if you considered, even for just a moment, that what you are perceiving is only one possibility — and that there are several other ways to interpret a situation
In every walk of life, you find yourself defending your beliefs, arguing for how you remember something that happened, and positioning yourself to influence others to see things your way. But what if you’re missing the important point that your differences are what make life colorful Those differences are what stimulate your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moments if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication.
There will be times in your life when boundaries may need to be enforced with others and, at the end of the day, you want to feel understood and appreciated. Learning to honor your viewpoints while others have their own is vital for coexisting in a world where every individual is perfectly unique.
37．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By raising questions. B．By listing opinions.
C．By quoting sayings. D．By making a comparison.
38．What plays the vital role in information processing
A．Current situation. B．External opinions.
C．Personal experience. D．Physical condition.
39．Which statement will the author probably agree with
A．Learning to accept differences. B．Pursuing perfection in daily life.
C．Following others unconditionally. D．Arguing for your own viewpoint.
40．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Why Nobody Understands You B．How Come You Are So Unique
C．Who Is to Blame for Disagreement D．What Makes You Think You’re Right

推理判断题。根据第一段“I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.(我以为我已经准备好迎接研究生院的挑战了。但当我离开尼泊尔去国外深造时，我觉得自己好像掉进了浩瀚的海洋，每条鱼都比我游得快。课程作业把我累坏了。我不再是以前那个外向的人，而是突然变成了一个害羞的女孩。更糟糕的是，我的研究并没有按照我预期的速度进行)”可推知，第一段表明作者不自信了。故选D。
6．
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.(幸运的是，当地一个开车送老人去目的地的组织正在寻找志愿者。我想这也许正是我所需要的)”可知，作者的志愿者工作是开车送老年人到达他们的目的地。故选D。

Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving. (她像我的祖母一样和我聊天，分享她的感激之情。这样的交流和乘客们脸上的微笑鼓励着我继续开车)”可知，在开始志愿者工作之前，作者有点担心，而老奶奶的交谈和乘客脸上的笑容激励作者继续做这份工作。由此可知，画线词应与anxious的含义形成对比，表示“镇定，泰然自若”，calmness与之含义相近。故选C项。
8．
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything.

本文为一篇说明文。人类是非常社会化的生物，除了言语交流，肢体语言在面对面的交流中也很重要；如今信息社会中，随着我们交流方式的改变，数字肢体语言和表情符号正变得越来越重要。
9．
推理判断题。根据第一段“Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal (语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.( 人类是非常社会化的生物。除了口头交流，我们还利用自己的身体帮助我们更好地表达自己的想法和感受。这种非语言交流被称为肢体语言)”可知，作者说“人类是非常社会化的生物”是想表达：作为社会化的生物，人类是需要交流的，人类会使用口头语言和肢体语言，达到交流的目的，故选B项。
10．
推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word ‘no’instead of actually saying the word.
