Passage 2 阅读D[2024桂林市第18中学一模]
①Hugging is a good way to show love and care. Even the
grumpiest(脾气最暴躁的) people have to agree that sometimes nothing
makes us feel warmer than a good hug.
②But how do we hug? For how long? Scientists did a study on
hugs. They organized a group of volunteers and asked them to do
different kinds of hugs.
9
③There are two main ways that we hug each other—neck-waist and
criss-cross(相互交叉). The neck-waist hug is when one person wraps
(用……缠绕) both arms around the other's mid-section, while the
other wraps around the first person's neck and shoulders. The criss-cross
hug is when each person puts one arm under the other's armpit(腋下),
and the other one over their shoulder.
④According to this study, we'd like to choose the second way, even
if there is a height difference. That's pretty important because a criss-
cross hug is a little harder if one person is taller. As for why we do
that, one guess is that the criss-cross doesn't put one person above the
other. And feeling equal is a pretty important part of a hug.
10
⑤Then there's the other important thing. How long does a hug last?
Actually the average(平均的) hug lasts about 3 seconds. But is that
perfect? Researchers set up three kinds—one-second, five-second and ten-
second hugs. The five-second hugs came out on top as being the most
satisfying. And the least satisfying? The one-second hug. But surprisingly,
the ten-second hugs scored as highly as the five-second hugs did. This is
strange because ten seconds is a pretty long time for a hug. The fact
that people enjoyed them suggests that we really honestly do love human
contact(接触). It is a comforting thing.

A. To ask people not to make friends with them.
