Bob likes climbing very much. However, there wasn’t one climbing club in his school at first, so he felt sad.
At the beginning of the second year of middle school, his school offered rock climbing lessons in order to encourage students to exercise. He was so happy that he joined at once.
In the first lesson, the coach said, “Rock climbing needs strength, speed, courage and persistence (坚持). All these are necessary.” But in Bob’s opinion, rock climbing was just a fun activity. It interested him.
During the following classes, the coach asked the students to run 1,000 metres first, and then climb with a rope. When Bob finished running, he almost lost his breath (呼吸) and got bored, and he even did not want to touch the rope. He thought it was less interesting than before. The coach noticed that and asked him, “Why do you want to take rock climbing lessons?” “I come for fun, of course.” “Is that fun?” he asked. Bob shook his head slowly. The coach then explained patiently, “That’s because you stop halfway. You know, beautiful sights are always on the top.”
After hearing his words, Bob made up his mind to finish his journey. When he got to the top in the end, he felt really excited.
Sometimes it’s hard to reach the top of the mountain, but it’s a pity to stop halfway, so don’t give up.

Small talk like “What do you have there? Ice-cream?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” is not meaningful to some people. But in fact, scientists believe that it is more useful than it may appear to be.
A study by the University of Chicago found that people who talked to strangers enjoyed a better ride than those who sat in silence or kept playing with their phones.
In the study, scientists asked people at Chicago train stations to start to talk with other travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first, because they didn’t think they could get a friendly answer. But the result was opposite (相反的). Most strangers were happy to talk with others.
“People are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the scientists said. “It turned out (证明) that they also wanted to know others.”
Besides making you happy, chatting with strangers can also help you feel connected with your environment. Some studies found that when people often smiled at, made eye contact (交流) with and talked with other people at public places, there was a better chance that they would have a sense of belonging (归属感) instead of feeling lonely.
And if you are used to talking with strangers, you can try to talk with people about something different. A study showed that having a deep and meaningful talk gave you more happiness than small talks.
11. What can we know from the result of the study by the University of Chicago?
A All people are polite to strangers.
B. Talking with others is good for people.
C. People like to show their good side to strangers.
D All people don’t like to talk with strangers.
12. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the passage?
A. Scientists.
B. People at Chicago train stations.
C. Students at the University of Chicago.
D. People on the train.
13. Which paragraph talks about the advantages (优点) of small talks?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
14. How can people get more happiness from small talks?
A. By starting with easy topics.
B. By choosing a pleasant (令人愉悦的) environment before talking.
C. By turning the small talk into a deep and meaningful talk.
D. By talking about the weather.
15. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Small talks can be very useful.
B. How to start small talks in our daily life.
C. The differences between small talks and deep talks.
D. What to talk about.
D

Small talk like “What do you have there? Ice-cream?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” is not meaningful to some people. But in fact, scientists believe that it is more useful than it may appear to be.
A study by the University of Chicago found that people who talked to strangers enjoyed a better ride than those who sat in silence or kept playing with their phones.
In the study, scientists asked people at Chicago train stations to start to talk with other travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first, because they didn’t think they could get a friendly answer. But the result was opposite (相反的). Most strangers were happy to talk with others.
“People are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the scientists said. “It turned out (证明) that they also wanted to know others.”
Besides making you happy chatting with strangers can also help you feel connected with your environment. Some studies found that when people often smiled at, made eye contact (交流) with and talked with other people at public places, there was a better chance that they would have a sense of belonging (归属感) instead of feeling lonely.
And if you are used to talking with strangers, you can try to talk with people about something different. A study showed that having a deep and meaningful talk gave you more happiness than small talks.
11. What can we know from the result of the study by the University of Chicago?
A. All people are polite to strangers.
B. Talking with others is good for people.
C. People like to show their good side to strangers.
D. All people don’t like to talk with strangers.
12. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the passage?
A. Scientists.
B People at Chicago train stations.
C. Students at the University of Chicago.
D. People on the train.
13. Which paragraph talks about the advantages (优点) of small talks?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5.
14. How can people get more happiness from small talks?
A. By starting with easy topics.
B. By choosing a pleasant (令人愉悦的) environment before talking.
C. By turning the small talk into a deep and meaningful talk.
D By talking about the weather.
15. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Small talks can be very useful.
B. How to start small talks in our daily life.
C. The differences between small talks and deep talks.
D. What to talk about.
【答案】11. B 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
