Initial conversations can greatly influence how relationships develop over time. People often feel worried about the impressions they think they left after talking to someone for the first time: “Did they really like me, or were they just being polite ” “Were they interested in our chat, or just feeling bored ”
To check whether these worries are reasonable, our team did nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, UK participants talked with a stranger they had never met before. After their chat, they were asked how much they liked their partner and how much they thought their partner liked them. This let us compare people’s beliefs about being liked with how much they were actually liked.
Again and again, we found that people left their conversations with bad feelings about their performance. In other words, people underestimate how much their conversation partners enjoy talking with them — a wrong belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias might seem to only appear in first talks, but its influence goes much further. Surprisingly, the liking gap can keep affecting many kinds of relationships, including work connections with coworkers, long after the first conversation. A larger liking gap is linked to being less ready to ask workmates for help, less ready to give honest feedback to them, and less ready to work on future projects together.
There are many ways to reduce this biased feeling. One simple way is to change where you focus your attention. Try to pay more attention to your conversation partner, show real curiosity about their life, ask more questions, and listen carefully to their answers. The more you focus on the other person instead of yourself, the better your chat will be, and the less you will worry about the things you think you did wrong.
4. What do people usually worry about after their first conversation with a stranger
A. Whether they made a good impression on the partner.
B. Whether they can meet the partner again soon.
C. Whether they talked too much during the chat.
D. Whether they shared too much personal information.
5. What is the “liking gap” according to the research
A. The difference between how much people like themselves and how much others like them.
B. The difference between how much people think they are liked and how much they are actually liked.
C. The difference between how much people like their partner and how much their partner likes them.
D. The difference between how people feel in initial conversations and in later work interactions.
6. Which of the following is a result of a larger liking gap in work relationships
A. Being more willing to work on new projects with coworkers.
B. Being more ready to give honest feedback to workmates.
C. Being less willing to ask colleagues for help.
D. Being more active in building close friendships with partners.
7. What is one way to reduce the liking gap according to the article
A. Focus more on your own performance during the conversation.
B. Avoid asking too many questions to the conversation partner.
C. Pay more attention to the conversation partner and listen carefully.
D. Try to talk more to make the conversation lively and interesting.
C
Conflict in communities often falls into two main types: task conflict and relationship conflict, and it can be hard to tell them apart sometimes.
Task conflict arises when group members hold different ideas about what needs to be done. It shows up in disagreements over a group’s core matters: its goals, task priorities, or how decisions are made. Task conflict is manageable as long as people realize the disagreement is about the work itself, not the individuals. To solve this kind of tension, community members need to let everyone’s voice be heard and respected. Solving task conflict calls for empathy and emotional intelligence, though this doesn’t mean the final decision must include every opinion. After discussion, everyone should feel they had a fair chance to speak and that their ideas were taken seriously.
Relationship conflict is trickier because it hits a person’s sense of self-worth. This kind of conflict usually starts under two conditions: first, people have clashing values or basic assumptions, and second, neither side can look past their own prejudices. In short, everyone believes they are completely right and refuses to change their position.
In relationship conflict, people see the other person as the problem and attack them personally. Each side thinks most people are on their side and that the other is acting out of selfishness. This leads to disagreements not for the sake of the task, but just to prove the other person is wrong.
Sometimes conflict begins with a task issue — like preferring different tools or ways of working. If this early argument is ignored or handled poorly, simple task conflict can turn into more complicated relationship conflict. When relationship conflict happens, people often react without thinking, instead of stopping to reflect on the results.
It’s important to remember that cultures differ in how they deal with conflict. In some cultures, people think it’s dishonest not to face a disagreement openly, while in others, such direct talk about conflict is seen as unacceptable.
8. How can task conflict be managed well
A. By talking about personal feelings openly.
B. By listening to different views with respect.
C. By collecting as many opinions as possible.
D. By keeping discussions short and clear.
9. What do we learn about relationship conflict
A. It centers on task-related differences.
B. It includes personal attacks and criticism.
C. It leads to direct power struggles.
D. It values logic more than empathy.
10. What does the author emphasize in the last paragraph
A. Disagreement is unavoidable in communities.
B. Disputes should be solved in a timely way.
C. Culture can easily fix community conflict.
D. Ways to solve conflict are different across cultures.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Solving Group Conflicts
B. Understanding Different Opinions
C. Dealing with Community Tension
D. Knowing the Types of Conflict
D
A study has found that children with strong family bonds are closely connected with a high chance of flourishing in life. “What makes this study stand out is that it proves family connection is linked to children’s flourishing, not just surviving or avoiding harm,” said Dr. Robert Whitaker, the lead researcher of the study.
Researchers surveyed more than 37,000 kids across 26 countries. In this research, family connection was measured by an average score of five areas: warmth, encouragement, security, value, and involvement. Flourishing was measured by an average score of six areas: self acceptance, life purpose, positive relationships, personal growth, life skills management and independence. The core of family connection is that kids feel they are accepted and loved at home, which lets them learn their strengths and weaknesses in a safe space while building their self-identity, Whitaker explained.
According to the study, children with the strongest family connect ion were over 49% more likely to flourish compared with those with the weakest family connection. The highest scores in both family connection and flourishing came from children who said they lived with both parents, had enough food and never saw their family worry about money. Researchers then adjusted the data for families’ poverty levels to remove the influence it might have had on the results. Even after adjusting the data, the strength of family connection still had a clear effect on how much children flourished.
According to Whitaker, adults have a strong influence on the emotional atmosphere at home, so it’s key to create a place where children feel noticed and listened to. A great chance to build stronger family ties is during mealtimes. Adults should make an environment where kids feel free to speak their minds. While kids are talking, grown-ups should show they truly care about what their children are saying. Quiet time is also a powerful way to connect, Whitaker said. Spending quiet time together or even doing housework can help create a deep family connection.
12. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Staying alive and avoiding harm.
B. Developing well and positively in life.
C. Making a lot of money in the future.
D. Getting high scores in school subjects.
13. Which group of children is most likely to get top scores in both family connection and flourishing
A. Kids who are raised by a single parent with a stable income.
B. Kids who never experience food shortage and financial stress.
C. Kids who clearly understand their own strengths and weaknesses.
D. Kids who live with both parents and enmic stability.
14. Which factor did researchers take into account to avoid affecting the study result
A. The family’s financial situation.
B. Parents’ educational background.
C. Children’s age and gender differences.
D. The number of people in the family.
15. What would be the best title for this text
A. Family Ties and Children’s Basic Survival
B. The Harm of Poverty to Child Development
C. Family Connection and Children’s Thriving
D. Parenting Styles and Children’s Self-Esteem

When I was young, my father worked as a high school teacher in a small town. As the only breadwinner of our family, he was always buried in his school work, so I seldom had the chance to chat or play with him, making me feel a little distant from him. My mother, a full time homemaker, took charge of the whole family and looked after my younger brother and me, busy with cooking, cleaning and shopping.
Our backyard was a special place for our family. It was not only a safe place for us kids to play, but also my dad’s favorite hobby corner. Whenever he was free at home, he would spend most of his time taking care of his beloved roses, which my mother also loved very much.
My dad looked after his roses with great care and love. I often stood beside him, hoping to get his attention, but he was usually focused on his roses. He watered them regularly, cleaned the dry leaves, loosened the soil and fed them with nutrients carefully. All he expected was to see the beautiful flowers and enjoy their sweet smell.
One day, I saw him cut some branches. Then, with a small knife, he made marks on the thick branches carefully. He cut the marked spots to put young sprouts in and wrapped them with cloth. After that, he told us never to touch them. From then on, every time he came home from work, he would go straight to the backyard to look after these special plants.
About a month later, we all watched the whole process: the tender stems grew, formed buds and finally bloomed into colorful flowers. The backyard soon became a beautiful garden, full of roses and their nice fragrance. My parents, my brother and I all loved staying there. Those roses brought us great happiness, and none of us, especially me, wanted to lose such beauty.

Initial conversations can greatly influence how relationships develop over time. People often feel worried about the impressions they think they left after talking to someone for the first time: “Did they really like me, or were they just being polite ” “Were they interested in our chat, or just feeling bored ”
To check whether these worries are reasonable, our team did nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, UK participants talked with a stranger they had never met before. After their chat, they were asked how much they liked their partner and how much they thought their partner liked them. This let us compare people’s beliefs about being liked with how much they were actually liked.
Again and again, we found that people left their conversations with bad feelings about their performance. In other words, people underestimate how much their conversation partners enjoy talking with them — a wrong belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias might seem to only appear in first talks, but its influence goes much further. Surprisingly, the liking gap can keep affecting many kinds of relationships, including work connections with coworkers, long after the first conversation. A larger liking gap is linked to being less ready to ask workmates for help, less ready to give honest feedback to them, and less ready to work on future projects together.
There are many ways to reduce this biased feeling. One simple way is to change where you focus your attention. Try to pay more attention to your conversation partner, show real curiosity about their life, ask more questions, and listen carefully to their answers. The more you focus on the other person instead of yourself, the better your chat will be, and the less you will worry about the things you think you did wrong.
4. What do people usually worry about after their first conversation with a stranger
A. Whether they made a good impression on the partner.
B. Whether they can meet the partner again soon.
C. Whether they talked too much during the chat.
D. Whether they shared too much personal information.
5. What is the “liking gap” according to the research
A. The difference between how much people like themselves and how much others like them.
B. The difference between how much people think they are liked and how much they are actually liked.
C. The difference between how much people like their partner and how much their partner likes them.
D. The difference between how people feel in initial conversations and in later work interactions.
6. Which of the following is a result of a larger liking gap in work relationships
A. Being more willing to work on new projects with coworkers.
B. Being more ready to give honest feedback to workmates.
C. Being less willing to ask colleagues for help.
D. Being more active in building close friendships with partners.
7. What is one way to reduce the liking gap according to the article
A. Focus more on your own performance during the conversation.
B. Avoid asking too many questions to the conversation partner.

Dear Jim,
I’m sorry to hear you’re having a disagreement with your parents about choosing a university major. Your parents may care more about the future job prospects of the major, while you might prioritize your own interest and passion. Their love and your pursuit of dreams are both reasonable, so the key is to bridge the gap between you two.
Here are some suggestions for you. First, calm down and have a sincere talk with them, listening to their worries patiently. Then, explain your ideas clearly, telling them how you plan to develop in the future. I believe your parents will understand you if you communicate well.
Hope things go well for you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was young, my father worked as a high school teacher in a small town. As the only breadwinner of our family, he was always buried in his school work, so I seldom had the chance to chat or play with him, making me feel a little distant from him. My mother, a full time homemaker, took charge of the whole family and looked after my younger brother and me, busy with cooking, cleaning and shopping.
Our backyard was a special place for our family. It was not only a safe place for us kids to play, but also my dad’s favorite hobby corner. Whenever he was free at home, he would spend most of his time taking care of his beloved roses, which my mother also loved very much.
My dad looked after his roses with great care and love. I often stood beside him, hoping to get his attention, but he was usually focused on his roses. He watered them regularly, cleaned the dry leaves, loosened the soil and fed them with nutrients carefully. All he expected was to see the beautiful flowers and enjoy their sweet smell.
One day, I saw him cut some branches. Then, with a small knife, he made marks on the thick branches carefully. He cut the marked spots to put young sprouts in and wrapped them with cloth. After that, he told us never to touch them. From then on, every time he came home from work, he would go straight to the backyard to look after these special plants.
About a month later, we all watched the whole process: the tender stems grew, formed buds and finally bloomed into colorful flowers. The backyard soon became a beautiful garden, full of roses and their nice fragrance. My parents, my brother and I all loved staying there. Those roses brought us great happiness, and none of us, especially me, wanted to lose such beauty.

【答案】
One stormy night, strong winds and heavy rain hit our small town, and I was woken up by a loud crash from the backyard. My heart sank as I thought of those delicate roses. I quickly got out of bed, only to see my father already putting on his raincoat, his face filled with worry. “I must go and check the roses,” he said in a hurry, grabbing an umbrella. I followed him to the door, watching him rush into the pouring rain, his figure disappearing into the darkness. I stood by the window, listening to the howling wind, praying that the roses would survive. I suddenly realized how much those flowers meant to him — and to all of us.
The next morning, we rushed to the backyard and were shocked by the scene before us. Many branches were broken, and some roses lay on the wet ground, their petals torn and muddy. My father knelt down, carefully picking up a damaged sprout, his eyes red with sadness. I walked over, held his hand and said, “Dad, we can fix them together.” He looked at me, a faint smile appearing on his face. We spent the whole morning tying up the broken stems, covering the weak plants with cloth, and replanting the fallen roses. That day, I didn’t just help save the flowers — I finally felt close to my father, understanding his love for life and family hidden in those beautiful roses.
