Have you ever wondered why some friendships feel as close as family? It turns out that genetics (遗传学) might help in choosing your closest friends.
According to a US study with 1,932 people. friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related (相关的) two people are—the higher the number. the closer the relation. Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins. it’s about 0.0625. while for fourth cousins. it’s around only 0.001.
The question is, why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more possibly to become friends? The research team found that many of the top 1% of similar genes (相似基因) are related to the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell.
A study in Science Advances also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells. they found that friends’ body odors (体味) were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends. you might notice that they smell a bit like you!
31. What is the kinship coefficient between parents and children?
A. 0.25 B. 0.0625 C. 0.0014 D. 0.001
32. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Strangers have no genetic similarities at all.
B. People only become friends if they are genetically related.
C. Some friends may be more genetically similar than fourth cousins.
D. Friends are always more genetically similar than family members.
33. Why may people with similar genes become friends according to the study?
A. Because they have similar hobbies. B. Because they went to the same school
C. Because they live in the same community. D. Because they have a similar sense of smell.
34. How did researchers study the body smells of friends in the study?
A. By studying their genes.
B. By watching how often they hugged.
C. By asking friends to describe each other’s smells.
D. By using an e-nose and human volunteers to study sweat samples.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How can we look for friends. B. How to choose friends by smell
C. What decide who our friends are. D. Why kinship coefficient is important.
【答案】31. A 32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The research team found that many of the top 1%of similar genes (相似基因) are related to the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell.”可知,有相似基因的人可能成为朋友是因为他们有相似的嗅觉, 故选D。

In the US, there are many thrift stores. Thrift stores sell old, used things and people can buy them cheaply. They are also called second-hand stores. Many thrift stores sell clothing, but you can also find things like furniture, books, toys and so on in them.

Second, there are all kinds of things in thrift stores and you never know what treasures (宝物) you’ll come across! That makes the shopping really interesting. Also, ▲ . As you know, the money will be used for charity work. What’s more, thrift shopping means reusing the things. That is good for our environment. too.
Now maybe you are thinking of trying out thrift shopping. Let me tell you how to do it well.
