B Can you remember how you felt the last time you shared something? Whether it’s your favorite snack or an exciting experience, sharing is a great way to build trust and friendship with others. Sharing means letting someone else have or use something that belongs to you. This can be clothes, games or food, and also things you can’t take back, like feelings, ideas, time and experience. Sharing something with another person can make you both feel good. When you share your feelings and knowledge with others, you’re showing that you trust them, which helps to enhance friendships. Scientists have discovered that sharing causes your brain to produce something which makes you feel calm and relaxed. When you share a problem with friends, you're more likely to find a way to solve it. Sharing ideas means others can help turn them into a reality. It’s also an act of kindness that makes others more likely to share things with you. Twins Gabby and Lola, aged 11, are used to sharing, and Gabby says that she likes seeing the smile it puts on someone’s face. Sharing isn’t always easy. Gabby says she doesn’t like it when people don’t respect(尊重) the things she has shared, and Lola sometimes prefers to keep her favorite food to herself. You don’t have to share, but try to be honest and open. It can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable to share something so personal, but explaining how your feelings are influencing your life may help others understand. 24. What is the writer trying to do in the second paragraph? A. Explain what sharing means. B. Advise us to share time with others. C.Tell us how to share with friends. 25. What does the underlined word “enhance” mean? A. 减少. B. 增进 C. 拥抱 26. Why doesn’t Gabby like to share sometimes? A. She is afraid that sharing can make her life worse. B. It makes her nervous and scared to share with others. C. People don’t respect what she has shared. 27. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Let’s start to share B. How to Make Friends C.
