Some of my friends usually call me at night. Then come anywhere from 20minutes to two hours of conversations that include everything from pop culture and our days at work to our friends. It's like being transported back to high school in the 1990s, where you would call your classmates secretly at night. When it's finally time to end these conversations, with a silly smile on my face, I'm ready to sleep. Why do these feelings come with a phone call, but not with a night of texting or messaging? It might be because in our culture of busyness, someone taking time out to have a non-necessary phone conversation means they' re saying“You matter to me”. Neuroscientist Dr Lila Landowski says, “When we talk to people we care about— whether in person or over the phone—— our brain produces oxytocin(催产素). Oxytocin is responsible for(对······负责) that feeling of being close and connected to someone. And it also makes us feel better by reducing the levels of stress hormones(荷尔蒙) in our body. Text messaging doesn't seem to have similar effects.” But people born after 1988 seldom answer their phones. Growing up with mobile phones and messaging, they believe a phone call means less time to think about how to reply, more possibility of hurting another person, and of course more awkward(尴尬的) silence. Yet it would seem that those who avoid the phone call are missing out. Professor Barbara Keys says research has shown that phone calls make people feel wanted, needed, included and involved(参与的). That's certainly the case for me. I no longer see a night at home as a boring time to be filled with a TV show I'm only half-interested in. Tonight, a phone call means I' ll discover something new about someone I care about, and laugh at least three times. 1. What do we know about the writer in Paragraph 1? A.

What happens in our brain when we call others D. How communications have changed over time V.完形填空 China is the nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are 1 the most hospitable(好客的)people in the world. If 2 visit a Chinese family, they would be 3 at the warmth that they would receive as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you and 4 you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel 5 . At the same time, other family members will be busy 6 a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests 7 a big meal. They always provide more food than the guests can eat. On the table, the guests must be the 8 to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a(n) 9 guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for guests, which won't happen at Western tables. The Chinese family 10 to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’ t eat much.
