Do you find it easier to chat in the past but now it’s difficult? Do you and your parents often disagree on things? You’re not alone. Many kids and their parents have such experiences. When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about getting taller or heavier than your friends. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes.

But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. They might not agree with you right away, but if you keep talking and listening, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand them, you can work things out.

But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors, even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A study shows that greeting neighbors, especially up to six people a day, is really good for you. The study found that greeting others can make you happy. The magic number is six. When you greet up to six people, your happiness score (幸福指数)goes up. After that, the score shows no further rise. More than 4,000 people took part in the research. It tested (测试) people’s social happiness, physical happiness, community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbors had a high happiness score. But those who didn’t greet anyone had a low happiness score. You may think that saying hello is only about social happiness, but that’s not true. Regular (经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness. ________ If you feel your community is safe, it’s more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your community can make you feel better physically. Dan Witters, the leader of the study, said, “We don’t mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to them. The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.” Remember, saying hello often is a good way to improve your own happiness. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By showing study results. C．By asking a question. D．By introducing different acts. 2．Which of the following shows the change in happiness score after people greet neighbors? A．B．C． D． 3．Which sentence can we put in ________ in Paragraph 3? A．That’s because all of these are connected. B．It’s best to greet your neighbors in the morning. C．Different neighbors can greet you in different ways. D．The reason is that they have nothing to do with each other. 4．What can we learn from Dan Witters’ words? A．The more people you know, the happier you are. B．Saying hello may help people start a conversation. C．Nothing improves happiness more than conversations. D．Knowing people is very important before greeting them. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．The differences between village life and city life. B．The importance of knowing neighbors well in cities. C．The good points of greeting neighbors in our daily life. D．The useful way to help people get to know neighbors. ①Do you ever feel stuck when a classmate says “hi” in the hallway? Do you worry you’ll have nothing to say at a party? You’re not alone—many people feel unsure when talking to people they don’t know well. But the good news is that you can learn to feel more confident and make every chat a little brighter. Here are four simple habits to help you become a smoother, more friendly conversationalist. ②Be a curious listener. Instead of just waiting for your turn to speak, focus on what the other person is saying. Ask open-ended (开放式的) questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, “That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?” This shows you’re interested and gives them a chance to share more. ③Stick to light, shared topics. The best small talk topics are things almost everyone can relate to, like a popular TV show, the school sports game, or even the rainy weather. Stay away from sensitive (敏感的) subjects like grades, family problems, or why someone is not in a group chat. If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier: “Have you tried the new bubble tea shop near our school?” This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments. ④Be real, not perfect. If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, “I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?” People value honesty, and it can even lead to a better conversation. A quick, kind comment like “I love your new sports shoes!” can also make someone’s day and break the ice. ⑤Let your body say “I’m here.” The way you stand and face others sends messages even before you speak. Stand tall, make soft eye contact, and smile—this tells people you’re open and friendly. Don’t bend (弯曲) your back or check your phone while someone is talking; that makes it seem like you’d rather be somewhere else. ⑥With a little practice, you’ll find that talking to new people doesn’t have to be scary. The most important thing is to show you care about the other person, and the rest will follow. 1．How does the author support the idea of “be a curious listener”? A．By giving an example of a follow-up question. B．By explaining how listening helps make friends. C．By comparing curious listeners to quiet listeners. D．By sharing a survey about what people like to talk about. 2．What does the word “tactful” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．rude and sudden B．slow and quiet C．smart and polite D．funny and interesting 3．What should you do when someone asks you about a book you haven’t read? A．Lie and say you have read it. B．Laugh and ask them about the book. C．Change the topic to a bubble tea shop. D．Check your phone and walk away. 4．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①Problem → ②③④⑤Solutions → ⑥Conclusion B．①Introduction → ②Examples → ③④⑤Advice → ⑥Ending C．①Question → ②③Reason → ④⑤Result → ⑥Summary D．①Phenomenon → ②③④Comparison → ⑤⑥Suggestion 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why some people are shy. B．To describe different types of conversations. C．To encourage readers to talk more with friends. D．To teach readers how to improve their conversation skills. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Getting along 单元话题阅读理解练习 单元话题：人际交往 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 Do you know E-person and I-person?

Mrs. Tan saw them arguing and advised, “Good friends should be working together instead of just arguing.” After hearing that, they both felt sorry for what they did and began working together as a team.

When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about getting taller or heavier than your friends. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes.

You want to do things by yourself more , but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad. But don’t worry too much about arguments with your parents. The most important thing is to talk to them. Tell them how you feel, even if it’s hard. They might not agree with you right away, but if you keep talking and listening, you can find a way to make things better. Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand them, you can work things out.

But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors, even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A study shows that greeting neighbors, especially up to six people a day, is really good for you. The study found that greeting others can make you happy. The magic number is six. When you greet up to six people, your happiness score (幸福指数)goes up. After that, the score shows no further rise. More than 4,000 people took part in the research. It tested (测试) people’s social happiness, physical happiness, community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbors had a high happiness score. But those who didn’t greet anyone had a low happiness score. You may think that saying hello is only about social happiness, but that’s not true. Regular (经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness. ________ If you feel your community is safe, it’s more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your community can make you feel better physically. Dan Witters, the leader of the study, said, “We don’t mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to them. The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.” Remember, saying hello often is a good way to improve your own happiness. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By showing study results. C．By asking a question. D．By introducing different acts. 2．Which of the following shows the change in happiness score after people greet neighbors? A．B．C． D． 3．Which sentence can we put in ________ in Paragraph 3? A．That’s because all of these are connected. B．It’s best to greet your neighbors in the morning. C．Different neighbors can greet you in different ways. D．The reason is that they have nothing to do with each other. 4．What can we learn from Dan Witters’ words? A．The more people you know, the happier you are. B．Saying hello may help people start a conversation. C．Nothing improves happiness more than conversations. D．Knowing people is very important before greeting them. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．The differences between village life and city life. B．The importance of knowing neighbors well in cities. C．The good points of greeting neighbors in our daily life. D．The useful way to help people get to know neighbors. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，通过对比城乡邻里问候习惯，结合研究数据，介绍了日常向邻居打招呼对提升幸福感、身心健康与社区联结的积极作用。 1．第一段对比乡村与城市居民不同的邻里问候行为。“In small villages, people often say hello to their neighbors...But in cities, many people don’t greet their neighbors...”作者通过引入两种不同的邻里问候行为，自然引出文章主题。 2．第二段说明问候邻居的人数与幸福指数的关系。“When you greet up to six people, your happiness score goes up. After that, the score shows no further rise.”幸福指数随问候人数增至6人时上升，之后保持平稳，对应选项B的曲线趋势。 3．第三段说明问候不仅影响社交幸福，还能提升身体与社区幸福感。“Regular greetings also improve your physical and community happiness... If you feel your community is safe, it’s more possible for you to talk to people.” 选项A承上启下，连接“问候提升多维度幸福”与“社区安全感促进交流”的逻辑关系。 4．第四段引用研究负责人Dan Witters的观点，说明问候的意义。“The more people you greet, the more chances you have to start a conversation.”这句话直接表明问候是开启对话的契机。 5．全文围绕问候邻居的益处展开，最后一段总结主旨。“Remember, saying hello often is a good way to improve your own happiness.”这句话点明核心，即日常问候邻居是提升个人幸福的有效方式。 ①Do you ever feel stuck when a classmate says “hi” in the hallway? Do you worry you’ll have nothing to say at a party? You’re not alone—many people feel unsure when talking to people they don’t know well. But the good news is that you can learn to feel more confident and make every chat a little brighter. Here are four simple habits to help you become a smoother, more friendly conversationalist. ②Be a curious listener. Instead of just waiting for your turn to speak, focus on what the other person is saying. Ask open-ended (开放式的) questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, “That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?” This shows you’re interested and gives them a chance to share more. ③Stick to light, shared topics. The best small talk topics are things almost everyone can relate to, like a popular TV show, the school sports game, or even the rainy weather. Stay away from sensitive (敏感的) subjects like grades, family problems, or why someone is not in a group chat. If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier: “Have you tried the new bubble tea shop near our school?” This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments. ④Be real, not perfect. If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, “I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?” People value honesty, and it can even lead to a better conversation. A quick, kind comment like “I love your new sports shoes!” can also make someone’s day and break the ice. ⑤Let your body say “I’m here.” The way you stand and face others sends messages even before you speak. Stand tall, make soft eye contact, and smile—this tells people you’re open and friendly. Don’t bend (弯曲) your back or check your phone while someone is talking; that makes it seem like you’d rather be somewhere else. ⑥With a little practice, you’ll find that talking to new people doesn’t have to be scary. The most important thing is to show you care about the other person, and the rest will follow. 1．How does the author support the idea of “be a curious listener”? A．By giving an example of a follow-up question. B．By explaining how listening helps make friends. C．By comparing curious listeners to quiet listeners. D．By sharing a survey about what people like to talk about. 2．What does the word “tactful” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．rude and sudden B．slow and quiet C．smart and polite D．funny and interesting 3．What should you do when someone asks you about a book you haven’t read? A．Lie and say you have read it. B．Laugh and ask them about the book. C．Change the topic to a bubble tea shop. D．Check your phone and walk away. 4．Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A．①Problem → ②③④⑤Solutions → ⑥Conclusion B．①Introduction → ②Examples → ③④⑤Advice → ⑥Ending C．①Question → ②③Reason → ④⑤Result → ⑥Summary D．①Phenomenon → ②③④Comparison → ⑤⑥Suggestion 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain why some people are shy. B．To describe different types of conversations. C．To encourage readers to talk more with friends. D．To teach readers how to improve their conversation skills. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要针对“与不太熟悉的人交谈时感到不自信、无话可说”这一普遍问题，介绍了四个简单的习惯，帮助读者提升交谈技巧，变得更自信、更善于沟通。 1．第二段：“Ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation moving. For example, if a friend mentions they joined a painting club, you could say, ‘That sounds cool! What kind of things do you like to paint?’”，作者通过给出一个追问的具体例子来支持这一观点。 2．第三段：“If a topic starts to feel tense, just change to something easier… This kind of tactful change keeps the mood positive and avoids embarrassing moments.”，当话题变得紧张时，巧妙地转换到轻松话题，能保持积极氛围、避免尴尬。因此“tactful”意为“巧妙且得体的”，对应“smart and polite”。 3．第四段：“If someone asks you about a book you haven’t read, don’t lie and say you have. Just laugh and say, ‘I haven’t gotten to that one yet—what did you think of it?’”，作者建议笑着回应并询问对方对书的看法，而不是撒谎或回避。 4．第①段：提出问题 (社交时感到不自信) 并引出四种习惯；第②至⑤段：分别介绍四种具体建议 (好奇倾听、轻松话题、真实真诚、肢体语言)；第⑥段：总结与鼓励。文章结构为：①提出问题→②③④⑤给出解决方案→⑥得出结论。 5．全文围绕四种习惯展开，旨在教读者如何提升交谈技巧，在社交中更自信流畅。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
