Have you ever felt a connection with others while singing,dancing,or listening to music together Psychologist Robin Dunbar says moving in sync (同步) can create strong bonds between people.He believes it helped early humans make larger groups and better communities.
Dunbar thinks humans found a way to get in tune with many people at the same time using voices or body movements.This lets us make bigger groups than other primates (灵长目动物),who usually bond by cleaning their fur for each other.When people sing or dance in sync,they release feel-good chemicals,which help build relationships.
In one experiment with athletes,researchers found that those who worked out in sync with others were more resistant to pain.This may be because their endorphin (内啡肽) levels increased.In another study,people who danced in sync felt closer to others than those who danced separately.
One interesting experiment involved babies.It showed that they are more likely to help an adult if they previously bounced in sync with them.This suggests that even very young children can experience the bonding effects of synchrony.Research has also shown that we use both the left and right sides of the brain when we move in sync with others.Additionally,the brain’s reward system is activated (激活),making us more likely to lend a hand to others when we are in sync.
Animals,like birds and fish,also show synchrony in their movements.This points to this kind of behaviour having evolutionary roots.Flocks of birds flying in formation and schools of fish swimming together are examples of synchrony in the animal kingdom.This type of behaviour helps animals stick together to protect themselves from danger and to find food more efficiently.
So,the next time you’re at a concert or dance party,remember that moving together not only feels good but also helps us bond with others and create a sense of unity.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
Jamie Goldfarb had finished reading the last bedtime book to her three-year-old son, Kai, when he told her he was hungry. The mum usually complied with such requests since Kai had difficulty feeding when he was a baby. But this time, as she headed downstairs to fetch a banana, she heard him murmur, “Now that’s how I get a fourth book.”
Goldfarb was astonished that her sweet child would tell her a lie, but experts would say that Kai was engaging in complicated cognitive reasoning (认知推理) in his successful attempt for extra story time. And according to some researchers, lying provides an effective workout for developing brains.
Though experts agree that there’s no particular area in the brain leading to telling lies, certain regions of the brain are engaged during the construction of a lie. The brain must also juggle (尽力同时应付) emotions, memories and knowledge about another person, as well as think about alternative paths the lie could take. “It’s really a whole network of complex interactions,” says a psychologist. And that’s why the ability to lie develops over time, as a young brain develops.
Starting around two years old, a child is probably going to tell his first lie to keep from getting in trouble—and he probably won’t be very good at it. Older preschool children tend to try to lie as a way to make themselves look better. “They may claim they did something that they didn’t do because they want to get praise, or they exaggerate (夸张) because they want the parents to think, ‘Oh wow, you’re amazing,’” says Gini Graham Scott, an American writer. As children enter elementary school, their more developed brains can craft more complex lies.
Parents might feel disappointed when they catch their children being untruthful, but experts advise avoiding shaming them or calling them liars. “That won’t necessarily promote the behaviour you want,” Scott says. Instead, Scott suggests parents focus on the behaviour they’d like a child to exhibit and use language that encourages truth-telling. When the lie is more involved, experts recommend having a direct conversation about it.

My kids sit in Gee’s living room and gently lift the New Year ornaments (装饰品) out of a well-loved cardboard box.Gee stands beside them,quietly explaining each treasure.She tells them that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece during each year’s after-New Year sale.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage.Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day,and Jim and I had wondered who.Then one day we spotted him:an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them in a chair outside the garage with a thank-you note.When we got home from work that day,a typed letter had replaced the gift.The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk around the neighbourhood on garbage days,returning garbage cans for people he barely knew.
Then,his young wife,Gee,found herself living alone.Neighbours had taken the time to handle her garbage cans.
We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee.We told her how special Tom had been to us,how we grieved (感到悲伤) for her and how thankful we were to have known him.
When Gee invited us over to look through the New Year ornaments,I realised how hard it must be to part with that box,a piece of Tom.It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard.It’s the ladies who call Tom when their pool filter breaks.
These days,we’re piling up boxes of our own.We are planning a move,but Jim and I agree to wait until January.This New Year,we’ll decorate our furniture with Gee’s ornaments,out of the box that is labelled in Tom’s handwriting.“Thank you,” I’ll say,“for teaching us what it means to be a neighbour.”

I got some smile cards and used three of them just yesterday!
I used the first smile card when I was getting my dogs some food in a pet store.A man walked up to look at collars (项圈),looking puzzled.He asked me if I knew anything about dogs and collars,which actually I was quite familiar with.I helped him choose one.I hope it would work for his dog.When he said thanks,I handed him a smile card.He smiled and said he would help someone as soon as possible.
That was amazing! Then in a supermarket,when I was paying the bill,a grandma was trying to get her granddaughter out of a basket.I offered to help her,and she said, “Yes,please.” Later she told me that she had just had an operation and couldn’t lift things very well.After getting the baby girl out,I handed her my second smile card.

Ⅲ.七选五(共5题;每题2.5分,共12.5分)
How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personalities than your appearance, and demonstrating an attractive personality is the key to having lasting relationships. 1.　　　 The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
·Laugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you’re comfortable in your skin. A sense of humour makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. 2.　　　 It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don’t ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
·Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. 3.　　　 For instance, if you don’t like your friend’s shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it’s ugly.”
·4.　　　 If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you’ll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them at the time of day when you notice yourself starting to feel drained (无精打采的).
·Have confidence in your body. You don’t have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well. If you need a little boost, place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body. 5.　　
A.Speak in a positive way.
B.Make laughing a priority.
C.Remember, there is a time and place for humour.
D.There is difference between being frank and rude, though.
E.Focus on these rather than what you’re self-conscious about.
F.Actually,developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.
G.But having charming appearance is only skin-deep and far from enough.

My kids sit in Gee’s living room and gently lift the New Year ornaments (装饰品) out of a well-loved cardboard box.Gee stands beside them,quietly explaining each treasure.She tells them that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece during each year’s after-New Year sale.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage.Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day,and Jim and I had wondered who.Then one day we spotted him:an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them in a chair outside the garage with a thank-you note.When we got home from work that day,a typed letter had replaced the gift.The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk around the neighbourhood on garbage days,returning garbage cans for people he barely knew.
Then,his young wife,Gee,found herself living alone.Neighbours had taken the time to handle her garbage cans.
We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee.We told her how special Tom had been to us,how we grieved (感到悲伤) for her and how thankful we were to have known him.
When Gee invited us over to look through the New Year ornaments,I realised how hard it must be to part with that box,a piece of Tom.It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard.It’s the ladies who call Tom when their pool filter breaks.
These days,we’re piling up boxes of our own.We are planning a move,but Jim and I agree to wait until January.This New Year,we’ll decorate our furniture with Gee’s ornaments,out of the box that is labelled in Tom’s handwriting.“Thank you,” I’ll say,“for teaching us what it means to be a neighbour.”

Jamie Goldfarb had finished reading the last bedtime book to her three-year-old son, Kai, when he told her he was hungry. The mum usually complied with such requests since Kai had difficulty feeding when he was a baby. But this time, as she headed downstairs to fetch a banana, she heard him murmur, “Now that’s how I get a fourth book.”
Goldfarb was astonished that her sweet child would tell her a lie, but experts would say that Kai was engaging in complicated cognitive reasoning (认知推理) in his successful attempt for extra story time. And according to some researchers, lying provides an effective workout for developing brains.
Though experts agree that there’s no particular area in the brain leading to telling lies, certain regions of the brain are engaged during the construction of a lie. The brain must also juggle (尽力同时应付) emotions, memories and knowledge about another person, as well as think about alternative paths the lie could take. “It’s really a whole network of complex interactions,” says a psychologist. And that’s why the ability to lie develops over time, as a young brain develops.
Starting around two years old, a child is probably going to tell his first lie to keep from getting in trouble—and he probably won’t be very good at it. Older preschool children tend to try to lie as a way to make themselves look better. “They may claim they did something that they didn’t do because they want to get praise, or they exaggerate (夸张) because they want the parents to think, ‘Oh wow, you’re amazing,’” says Gini Graham Scott, an American writer. As children enter elementary school, their more developed brains can craft more complex lies.
Parents might feel disappointed when they catch their children being untruthful, but experts advise avoiding shaming them or calling them liars. “That won’t necessarily promote the behaviour you want,” Scott says. Instead, Scott suggests parents focus on the behaviour they’d like a child to exhibit and use language that encourages truth-telling. When the lie is more involved, experts recommend having a direct conversation about it.
