The new campaign (活动) is called Sag hej!, meaning "say hello". It is a simple way to connect people, but a very big step for the city. Swedish culture values privacy (隐私) and interpersonal distance so much that it has caused loneliness especially in Lulea where the sun only shines around three hours a day in the winter months. People usually like to stay warm at home alone. While most people believe that loneliness is the commonest among the elderly who usually live alone, the opposite is true. It is actually rising in young people and it has a bad influence on their mental and physical health. A study about Lulea found that 45% of 16-to 29-year-olds were experiencing problems because of loneliness. Asa Koski, who works for the city, came up with the idea of the Sag hej! campaign. "The city is developing fast and more people are coming. We don't just want Lulea to grow to be a big city. We also want it to be a safe, friendly and happy place where there's culture, relaxing activities, and sports," Koski said. "Greeting people makes them feel like they belong. Research shows that it has a good effect on health and makes people want to help each other. If you say hi to your neighbors, you are more likely to help them," Koski said. The activity is now being encouraged on buses and in schools. There are even workshops on how to greet one another. Many people agree that saying hello should be encouraged and believe that the more international the city becomes, the friendlier people will become. "It's really good that people say hello to each other," 61-year-old Pontus Wikstrom, said. "It means that people who meet without knowing each other become a little bit happier." 在瑞典北部城市吕勒奥，人们被鼓励更频繁地互相打招呼。这项新活动（活动）名为Saghej！，意为‘说你好’。这虽是连接市民的简单方式，却是该市迈出的重要一步。 瑞典文化极为重视隐私（隐私）和人际距离，这种观念在吕勒奥地区尤为明显——当地冬季日照时间仅约三小时，人们往往更倾向于独居取暖。尽管普遍认为孤独感多见于独居老人，但实际情况恰恰相反：年轻人的孤独感正日益加剧，这对他们的身心健康造成了负面影响。一项针对吕勒奥的研究显示，16至29岁人群中，有45%的人正因孤独而面临困扰。 为该市工作的阿萨·科斯基提出了“Sag hej！”（意为“你好呀！”）活动的构想。“城市正在快速发展，人口持续增长。我们不仅希望吕勒奥发展成为一座大城市，更希望它成为一个安全、友好且充满欢乐的地方，这里既有文化氛围，也有休闲活动和体育运动。”科斯基表示，“向人们问好能让他们感受到归属感。研究表明，这种行为对健康有积极影响，并能激发人们互相帮助的意愿。如果你向邻居问好，就更有可能主动提供帮助。” 目前，公交车和学校正大力推广这一活动。甚至开设了关于如何互相问候的专题研讨会。许多人认为，应鼓励人们主动打招呼，并相信城市国际化程度越高，人们的友好程度就越高。“人们互相打招呼真的很好，”61岁的庞图斯·维克斯特伦表示，“这意味着素不相识的相遇者会感到些许愉悦。” 【长难句分析】 1.

Fiona was a very popular girl at school. From an early age, she made an effort to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party and occasionally (偶) gave presents to everybody. 菲奥娜是学校里非常受欢迎的女孩。从小她就努力对每个人都友善。她邀请全班同学参加她的生日派对，偶尔还会（偶）给每个人送礼物。 However, everything changed on International Day of Friendship. In class that day, everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from among all her classmates. But when all the presents had been made and shared out, she was the only one that didn't receive a present! Fiona hadn't expected this and felt terrible, crying for hours. Everyone came to comfort her, but each stayed only a short time before leaving -just as she had done to others so many times. 然而国际友谊日那天，一切都发生了翻天覆地的变化。那天上课时，全班同学都要给各自的三个死党准备礼物。菲奥娜原本乐此不疲地从同学中挑选礼物，可当所有礼物都准备妥当分发完毕时，她却成了唯一没收到礼物的人！这个意外让她心碎不已，痛哭了好几个小时。同学们纷纷上前安慰，但每个人都只是匆匆打了个照面就离开了——就像她自己曾经无数次那样。 She realized she was a good companion (伙伴), but she hadn't been a true friend to anyone. Although she had tried to be close to everyone, she found that wasn't enough to create true friendships. 她意识到自己是个称职的伴侣（伙伴），却从未真正成为过任何人的朋友。尽管她努力与所有人保持亲近，却始终无法建立起真挚的友谊。 That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, "My dear, you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you want true friends, you must give them time and real care. For a true friend, you must always be available in good times and bad." 那天晚上，菲奥娜向母亲倾诉了一切。母亲说道：“亲爱的，微笑或几句好话买不来朋友。若想交到真挚的朋友，必须给予他们时间和真心关怀。真正的朋友，无论顺境逆境，都应当随时相伴。” Hearing this, Fiona decided to change her ways to finally have some true friends. As she lay in bed that night, she thought about how to achieve this. She thought about her mother, who was always ready to help her, put up with he rbad behaviour, encouraged her and loved her dearly (深深地). That was what made a true friend! Fiona smiled happily, realizing she already had the best friend anyone could ever want. 听到这话，菲奥娜决定改变自己，终于能交到真正的朋友。那天晚上躺在床上，她思索着如何实现这个目标。她想起母亲——那位总是乐于助人、包容她任性、鼓励她并深爱她的母亲（深深地）。这才是真正的朋友！菲奥娜开心地笑了，意识到自己已经拥有了最要好的朋友。 实战演练 Passage1 Asking for help can be scary. We may worry that our request (请求) will be refused or that it will be a trouble to the helper. But new research shows that people are more pleased to help out than we think. And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect. Scientists made six tests. More than 2,100 people participated (参加) in the research. In one test, participants had to ask strangers (陌生人) to take their photos at a public garden. In another, participants answered questions about times when they had either asked for or given help. These past experiences included showing someone how to complete a task and supporting a friend who was going through a difficult time. Scientists had the “askers” guess how the “helpers” might feel. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt. In one of the tests, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo. However, only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo, and those who helped to take a photo for a stranger said they felt pretty good after doing that. A study this year found that people value acts of kindness much more than expected. It has also shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s physical and mental health. Helping others can reduce stress. All these tests and research have shown that people are usually happy to lend a hand. Scientists say that if asking for help can make people uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice. So just try to ask for help if you need! 1．What’s the result of the new research? A．People seldom refuse friends’ requests. B．People feel good after helping others. C．Half of people like asking for help. D．People don't want to trouble others. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about the test? A．Scientists made two tests in total in the research. B．All participants were asked to ask strangers for help. C．The research only asked the helpers’ feelings about helping others. D．Only 4% of people refused to take the photo when being asked. 3．The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to “________”. A．introduce B．check C．improve D．show 4．What is this passage mainly trying to tell people? A．Don’t be afraid to ask for help. B．Learn to ask for help properly. C．Refuse others’ requests politely. D．Be careful to talk with strangers. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． Passage2 I was sitting in a Beijing cafe drinking a coffee with my friend. We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing. A few weeks later, I was visiting the beautiful coastal (海滨) city of Qingdao with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people! So why were we getting so much attention? I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially the case in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Qingdao, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing. But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Per and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to chat with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (好奇的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it! 1．Where is the writer probably from? A．Brazil. B．India. C．The USA． D．We don’t know. 2．What happened when the writer visited Qingdao? A．He became famous. B．He caught the attention of many people. C．He said sorry to everyone. D．He missed the last train. 3．Why did the writer think they were more popular in Qingdao than Beijing? A．Because Qingdao sees fewer foreigners. B．Because people in Qingdao are more friendly. C．Because many foreigners work in coastal cities like Qingdao. D．Because there aren’t many foreigners in Beijing. 4．What does the underlined word “treated” mean in Paragraph 4? A．聊天 B．核对 C．查询 D．对待 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Travelling in China B．A Foreigner’s experience in China C．A Foreign Traveler’s Feeling D．Traveling in foreign countries can make you popular.

Unfortunately, two-year-old Samantha is deaf. "She wants   2 (talk) with someone," said her father, Raphael. "She will feel excited when it's someone who can 3 (communicate) with her," said her mother, Glenda. Her excitement for communicating with others is painfully obvious (明显的) to everyone in the neighborhood. Whenever they saw her on a walk or in her yard-and Samantha 4 (try) talking with them-they found themselves at loss for understanding her words. On their own, Sam's neighbors got together and found a sign language teacher. Now her neighbors 5 (take) sign language class. Everyone looks so careful. Rhys, the teacher, says this is wonderful because a lot of time even the parents of deaf children don't bother (费心) to spend time 6 (learn) sign language.

"The first word she said to us was 'friend'," said one neighbor, "I 10 (move) and I thought your heart would melt (融化) just as mine did." What makes a "good neighborhood" is nothing more than good neighbors. Passage4 The Town of Pressure and the Town of Pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common. People living in the two towns built walls to 1 effect (影响) from the other town. In Pressure, everyone fought hard to be one best. When women gave birth, they would 2 to have the baby with the loudest cry. There were competitions in almost every side of life. People were 3 busy making money, with no time to relax themselves. So some young people couldn’ t stand the pressure and slowly lost themselves in drinking. At the same time, over in Pleasure, their motto (座右铭) “ 4 you like it, do it. ” They grew up without pressure and could do anything they liked. Children played computer games day and night but the computers they used were the 5 ones. At school, teachers didn’ t care whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office all day long drinking coffee and doing nothing. With the absence or rules, they didn’ t worry about losing jobs at all. It was pleasure that mattered. 6 had the smallest thought of, moving forward. Without goals in their lives, some of the young people were addicted to drinking. Then people in two towns began asking themselves, “What do we live 7 ? ” Just before life in the two towns completely failed, there came a wise man — Mr. Reason. He went from door to door, talking with people and giving advice. People in Pressure learnt to be happy with what they had, while people in Pleasure began to make 8 for the future. So they pulled down the 9 between them and built a road to connect the two. The towns’ people came to realize the truth — there is no space between Pressure and Pleasure if they don’ t go to extremes (极端) .

And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect.”可知人们比我们想象的更乐意帮忙，之后，他们往往比我们想象的更乐于助人。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo”可知100个人中只有4个人拒绝拍照，即只有4%的人拒绝拍照。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“It has also shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s physical and mental health”可知做善事可以促进人们的身心健康，故此处划线部分意为“促进”，和选项C意义相近。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇指出人们害怕求助的顾虑，接着用实验证明他人更愿意帮忙、帮助者也会感到愉悦，最后结尾“So just try to ask for help if you need it!”，核心主旨是鼓励人们不要害怕求助。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题；第二段、第三段和第四段介绍实验和研究结果；最后一段进行总结并给出建议。故选A。 Passage2 I was sitting in a Beijing cafe drinking a coffee with my friend. We were at a table looking out a window into a hutong. Many people were walking past us, but one Chinese couple stopped and stared. I smiled and waved back. Then, to my surprise, they took a photo of us! The lady even came up to the window and posed in front of us for another photo. It was very funny and we were all laughing. A few weeks later, I was visiting the beautiful coastal (海滨) city of Qingdao with two friends. People stared at us and wanted to say hello everywhere we went. It was like we were famous people! So why were we getting so much attention? I think it’s because even though there are many foreigners, like me, living in China today, they are still kind of “rare (罕见的)”. This is especially the case in smaller cities, where there are fewer foreigners. This is probably why we were so popular in Qingdao, but didn’t get as much attention in Beijing. But China is not the only place this happens. I have traveled to India, Brazil, Per and even the United States and been treated differently, too. Brazilians and US people always want to chat with you, but Indians are by far the most curious (好奇的). When I visited, children and adults were always staring and taking pictures. The best way to deal with it is just to smile, laugh and enjoy it! 1．Where is the writer probably from? A．Brazil. B．India. C．The USA． D．We don’t know. 2．What happened when the writer visited Qingdao? A．He became famous. B．He caught the attention of many people. C．He said sorry to everyone. D．He missed the last train. 3．Why did the writer think they were more popular in Qingdao than Beijing?

Children played computer games day and night but the computers they used were the 5 ones. At school, teachers didn’ t care whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office all day long drinking coffee and doing nothing. With the absence or rules, they didn’ t worry about losing jobs at all. It was pleasure that mattered. 6 had the smallest thought of, moving forward. Without goals in their lives, some of the young people were addicted to drinking. Then people in two towns began asking themselves, “What do we live 7 ? ” Just before life in the two towns completely failed, there came a wise man — Mr. Reason. He went from door to door, talking with people and giving advice. People in Pressure learnt to be happy with what they had, while people in Pleasure began to make 8 for the future. So they pulled down the 9 between them and built a road to connect the two.
