话题8 人际交往与社会服务

话题1 人际交往

Passage 1

Grace wasn’t a popular kid in the first year in high school. She was not in fashion (时尚) and shy. As a result, she had no close friends. So she was so surprised when Ashley made friends with her later. Ashley was very different from her. She had many friends and was greeted warmly by everyone she met.

During summer school, they took the same classes. They did tasks together. They met at the library to discuss the project together. They sat by each other the rest of the summer and when classes ended they continued to hang out.

Ashley was the girl that Grace wanted to be. Grace began to imitate (模仿) her. She began listening to the music Ashley listened to and wearing the clothes Ashley wore. She gave up reading and started watching the TV programs Ashley liked. She even changed her schedule (计划) to follow Ashley’s interests.

One day, she heard Ashley and her friends talking about her.

“She just follows you around trying to be you. She doesn’t have her own personality,” a girl said.

Then Ashley replied, “I know. I wish she would be the person she used to be. I don’t like to make friends with people like me.”

Grace felt so lonely. Then she thought of her mother’s advice, “Everyone has their own personality, just be yourself and people will like you for who you are.” Grace decided to stop crying and discover who she was. That was just what she did.

Passage 2

From food lovers to exercise and travel partners, young people have been looking for new ways to connect with others and share their hobbies. A popular way to do so is through dazi socializing (社交).

The word dazi comes from the Shanghai dialect (方言). People first used it to talk about card-playing friends. Now, it refers to (指代) the partners who take part in certain activities together. And a dazi is not like a close friend. People usually don’t have a long and strong relationship with their dazi.

Recently, more people are trying to seek a dazi to enjoy food, go on a trip, or study together. Xiaomi is one of them.

Xiaomi, born in 1981, is an office worker in Shenzhen. She has looked for travel partners more than once. This March, Xiaomi went to Gansu Province and found a travel partner there. She also found another dazi during the trip. The three had a good time together during the journey.

“We later started a chat group on WeChat, and we often shared good books. Starting as travel partners, we have become friends. I think I’m lucky!” Xiaomi said.

However, the dazi culture doesn’t come without risks. Although looking for a dazi is not difficult, finding a perfect or nice dazi is not easy. Remember to be careful and pay attention to personal safety when looking for a dazi.

1. What do we know about Xiaomi?

A．She loves to find travel partners.

B．She is a 39-year-old office worker.

C．She went to visit Gansu Province in May.

D．She found people in Gansu Province were nice.

2. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

B．Finding the perfect dazi always takes risks.

C．You can’t be too careful when looking for a dazi.

D．More people are paying attention to their personal safety.

3. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Xiaomi, a great dazi B．The rise of dazi culture

C．Advice on choosing partners D．The importance of socializing

Passage 3

 My high school life was extremely busy and competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in various school activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home, my time

was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families.

I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other. But after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her soccer games, but I had my own play practices and meetings.

Then one day I came home, an empty house. I found a note from my mom. she was at my brother’s baseball game. However, my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off.

At five o’clock, I went to turn on the light near the front door and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking.

“Is anyone at home?” the father asked.

“Just my mean elder sister—Linda and she only minds her own things. She’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know this man but my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s hateful stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for bringing her home, then shut the door and started to cry.

To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister. I had forgotten what was important and what really mattered. I had got caught in a lot of pressure and competition. In fact, my sister made me realize the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone—certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too.

1. What does the underlined phrase “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean?

c. Linda’s mom left a note saying she was at the brother’s baseball game.
