Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It's said that you don't know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. And you also don't know what it's like for old people to travel until you accompany (陪伴) one on a trip.
After flying with my elderly father from Washington to Los Angeles in July, I began to realize that a companion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for old people. I booked tickets for a nonstop flight on JetBlue to avoid tiring, confusing connections (转机), and we flew directly into Long Beach Airport. Even though my father could walk, I arranged with the airline about wheelchair assistance, which meant we could get on board first.
When I took him back to the airport for his return flight to Washington, I got permission from JetBlue to wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checkpoint. I wished he'd had a firstclass seat. Better yet, I wished I had flown with him on both ways. As I watched the flight attendant wheel him to the lift that would take him from the tarmac (停机坪) to the plane, I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time.
Things can go away on a plane trip. There is a frightening story about Joe and Margie. When they landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection.But somehow Margie,who had Alzheimer's disease, disappeared.
I didn't need to worry about my father's wandering away;at 82, his mind was sharper than mine. But his hearing was poor, so I worried about what would happen if he missed an important announcement. Fortunately, everything went just fine. Good arrangements made the trip successful.
Next time I travel with a senior, I'll know better.I hope there will be a next time.

In this digital age, people measure their popularity by the number of “likes” and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happier when their friends are of high quality rather than huge quantity.
Scientists from the University of Leeds in the UK studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial (关系浅薄的) friends.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Bruine de Bruin—one of the researchers. She found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles tended to be closer to them. She also found that younger people tended to have larger social circles that were made up of “peripheral (次要的) others”—people who are not their true friends, but just the ones they know. These people had no influence on their happiness.
The results of the study show that the opinion society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be accurate.
“The research shows that older adults' smaller networks don't decrease their social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, older adults tend to report a better sense of wellbeing than younger adults,”said Bruine de Bruin.
5.According to the study, people tend to be happier when they ________ .
A.have friends of huge quantity
B.have a small circle of close friends
C.have a lot of followers on social media
D.make friends with older people
6.What do we know from Paragraph 4?
A.Older people's friends seem to be of higher quality.
B.Younger people don't need to make peripheral friends.
C.Older people's happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
D.Both older and younger people find it hard to make close friends.
7. Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults?
A.Sad. B.Happy.
C.Lonely. D.Concerned.
8.What is the focus of this article?
A.Different types of friends in one's life.
B.Changes in people's happiness levels.
C.Interactions between older and younger people.
D.The relationship between happiness and the quality and quantity of friends.
[语篇解读] 研究发现,影响一个人幸福感和社会满意度的并非是其拥有朋友的数量,而是朋友的质量。拥有更多亲密朋友的人往往会比拥有大量关系浅薄的朋友的人更加幸福。
5.B [考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The researchers found...superficial (关系浅薄的) friends”可知,那些有少数亲密朋友的人通常比那些有许多关系浅薄的朋友的人更快乐。故选B项。]
6.A [考查推理判断。根据第四段内容可知,研究发现,尽管较年长的人的社交圈比年轻人小,但圈子里的人往往和他们之间的关系更亲密;而年轻人的社交圈虽然相对较大,但圈子里的人往往是一些对他们并不重要的人,这些人对他们的幸福感并没有影响。由此可知,较年长的人的朋友质量更高。故选A项。]
7.B [考查细节理解。根据最后一段Bruine de Bruin说的话中的“In fact,older adults tend to report a better sense of wellbeing than younger adults”可知,她认为较年长的人往往比年轻人的幸福感更强。故选B项。]
8.D [考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于人的幸福感与其朋友数量和质量的关系的研究。研究发现,影响一个人幸福感的并非是其拥有朋友的数量,而是其朋友的质量。故选D项。]
