It turns out that this isn't just an expression.A study by Yale University has found that you and your friends have more genes (in common than strangers do.Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers.They found that friends have 1%of genes that match. “1%of genes may not sound like much to the layperson(外行)，but to geneticists(遗传 八年级英语第5页（共8页） it is a larger number,"Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News.In fact,this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins,those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes?Not at all.In fact, it is evolution (that brings you together."People who share certain genes also share skills and have common likes and dislikes,"researchers said.In the old days,it was important that people who were alike stayed together.For example,people who were easily influenced by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire,giving them a better chance to stay alive. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied,those producing a change in sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to the same environments.For example,people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes (more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With their findings,the team has developed an interesting test called the"friendship score".It can help tell how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes. So,here is a question for you:would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be,or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 47.From the passage,we know that friends A.look like our cousins B.share 1%of genes with us C.feel close to our famity D.can help us when we feel cold 48.The writer takes the example of people in the old days in Paragraph 4 to A.study how people dealt with the cold in the old days B.predict that the same environments lead to friendship C.show that it is evolution that brings friends together D.explain why people gave each other chance to keep alive 49.The underlined word "alike"in Paragraph 4 probably means A.kind B.similar C,smart D.different 50.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Yale University's New Study on Human Genes B.How Evolution Helps People Make Friends C.The Similarities Between Friends and Family Members D.Why Friends Can Be Like Family:The Genetic Connection 五、信息还原（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） Most people want to be happy,but few know how to find happiness.Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness.Happiness depends upon ourselves.(51) Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
