"What! You too? I thought I was the only one." Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.
It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher（哲学家）Aristotle once said, "Some define（下定义） friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves."
Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.
According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation（动力）， learning and memory.
However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same clips.
"Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one's won values, opinions, and interests strength," scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider. But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.
They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.（1）What does "this idea" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Many friendships start with small chats.
B. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.
C. People with similarities may become friends
D. We like those who like us first.
（2）The 42 university students in the experiment_____________.
A. are all from the University of California
B. were close friends before the experiment
C. watched the same set of videos
D. reacted differently from each other
（3）What did the study of the students' brains show?
A. They had watched the same video clips.
B. Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.
C. Watching videos improves one's memory.
D. It's good to have friends who react similarly.
（4）According to the story , what else may help build friendship?
A. Being fun and helpful
B. Studying at the same college.
C. Having similar appearances
D. Being physically close.
（5）The best title of the passage is "__________"
A. What is friendship
B. Friends can think alike
C. An experiment about friendship
D. How can we build friendship

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
How are you? I am fine. School is out already. On our last day, we went to a museum. It was fun until we all had to run through the rain to get on the bus. Even that was kind of fun, though.
How was your camping trip? Dad says you're just getting back home this Wednesday. I've been taking good care of Sparky for you. The dog sleeps at the foot of my bed on most nights. He and the cat have even been getting along.
Dad says to tell you that our yard is looking good this year. We've had lots of rain, especially last Friday— the last day of school
When are you coming to get Sparky? See you soon.
Love,

Each day, we chose a different cave. We saw narrow（狭窄的）places and huge ones. In one cave, we were underground for more than two miles.
We'll come to get Sparky next weekend, if that's okay.

In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives, neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don't. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it's not a good idea. You'd better forget all this and forgive（宽恕，原谅） him.
Maybe it's not easy for you to do that, but it's possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy. Staying angry with others, in fact, means letting others' mistakes treat yourself unfairly.
How can you forgive others?
First，think of something pleasant and try to get yourself happy.
Second, don't wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you，he won't say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don't see things the same way.
Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.
At last, try to know yourself very well. Whose mistakes caused that，yours or others'? If it's our

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do.

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour（倒） dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200, the earth's water was completely polluted. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids（液体）.

You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

Do you know the whales in the sea? There are many relatives（亲属） in the whale family and they always live together with whales.
Few people know dolphins（海豚） are part of the whale family. Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They breathe air, and they have babies and feed them with milk. Dolphins are famous for their wonderful shows. They can jump high out of the water and show turns in the air. These jumps give the dolphins time to breathe.
Porpoises（鼠海豚）are also in the whale family and are quite like dolphins. But they are different in the size and shape of the mouth. The dolphin's mouth is long and thin, but the porpoise's is short and thick. Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins make sounds to talk with each other under water. But porpoises do not do this. Both of them are smart and friendly to humans.
Not all the members of the whale family are friendly. Big whales are much easier to be angry than smaller dolphins or porpoises. An angry whale can be dangerous. Perhaps this helped to create the story of Moby Dick that sank （使下沉） a ship and made all the people on it die in the sea.
（1）According to the passage, the porpoise .
A. is a kind of mouse
B. is friendly to humans
C. is much bigger than the dolphin
