Dear Wang Lei,
I was genuinely sorry to hear about the misunderstanding between you and Chen Fei. Conflict is an inevitable part of any genuine friendship—what truly counts is how we respond to it.
Allow me to offer two practical suggestions. First, a short period of emotional cooling—perhaps one or two days—can help both of you gain perspective and avoid saying things you might regret. Second, once emotions have settled, consider reaching out with a sincere, low-pressure invitation, such as grabbing a cup of tea after school. Beginning with "I miss how we used to get along" rather than accusations can pave the way for healing.
Your friendship has always impressed me with its strength and sincerity. I have no doubt that you will find a way through this. Do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Building Strong Relationships with Your Classmates
College classes can feel awkward at first. There are new faces, different personalities, and everyone is trying to figure out where to sit. Building strong relationships with your classmates makes school so much more enjoyable and way less stressful. Keep reading for some realistic tips to help you connect with your classmates!
1. Sit Near the Same People
Sitting near the same people in each class makes it easier to talk naturally over time. This is because familiar faces can turn into casual conversations. From there, a casual conversation in a lecture hall can turn into a lifelong friendship.
2. Be Open and Approachable
If you are like me, you may pick up your phone in uncomfortable situations and start scrolling. I encourage you to put your phone down and make a positive appearance. Smiling and maintaining eye contact can make you more approachable. People are more likely to talk to you if you look open to conversation.
3. Use Group Work as an Opportunity
Group projects are great for connection! Make sure you communicate clearly, be reliable, and support your group members. Being kind and dependable goes a long way, and people will remember that.
4. Exchange Contact Information
If you find yourself repeatedly talking to someone or getting along well with them, ask for their number or social media. It does not have to be awkward as they will probably be wondering about the same thing. It would even be practical in case you have to miss class.
5. Show up and Be Present
Simply showing up to class regularly makes a difference. When people see you often, it is easier to start conversations and feel comfortable around each other. Listening, participating, and engaging helps others feel more connected to you as well.
Building strong relationships with your classmates does not happen overnight, and that is okay. Small efforts like being present, approachable, and consistent can lead to meaningful connections over time. College is more enjoyable when you surround yourself with people who make classes feel less intimidating and more supportive!
【全文翻译】
大学课堂一开始可能会让人感到不适应。到处都是新面孔、不同的性格,每个人都在琢磨该坐在哪里。与同学建立牢固的关系会让学校生活变得更有趣,压力也会小得多。继续阅读,获取一些实用的建议,帮助你与同学建立联系!
1. 坐在同一群人附近
每节课都坐在同一群人附近,随着时间的推移,会更容易自然地交谈。这是因为熟悉的面孔可以转化为随意的闲聊。从那时起,讲堂里的随意交谈就可能变成终身的友谊。
2. 保持开放和友善的态度
如果你像我一样,可能会在不自在的时候拿起手机开始刷屏。我鼓励你放下手机,展现出积极的面貌。微笑和保持眼神交流能让你显得更平易近人。如果你看起来乐于交谈,别人就更有可能主动跟你说话。
3. 利用小组作业作为契机
小组项目是建立联系的好机会!确保你沟通清晰、可靠,并支持你的小组成员。友善和值得信赖会大有帮助,人们会记住这一点。
4. 交换联系方式
如果你发现自己反复与某人交谈或与他们相处得很好,可以询问他们的电话号码或社交媒体账号。这不必尴尬,因为他们可能也在想同样的事情。万一你不得不缺课时,这甚至会很实用。
5. 坚持出勤并全心投入
仅仅定期去上课就能带来不同。当人们经常见到你时,就更容易开始对话,彼此相处也会更自在。倾听、参与和投入也能帮助他人感到与你更有联系。
与同学建立牢固的关系并非一蹴而就,这很正常。像保持在场、平易近人和始终如一这样的小努力,随着时间的推移可以带来有意义的联系。当你身边有那些让课堂不再那么令人生畏、更有支持感的人时,大学生活会更加愉快。

【长难句分析】
1. If you find yourself repeatedly talking to someone or getting along well with them, ask for their number or social media.
句意:如果你发现自己反复与某人交谈或与他们相处得很好,可以询问他们的电话号码或社交媒体账号。
分析:本句是一个复合句。句首 If you find yourself repeatedly talking to someone or getting along well with them 是条件状语从句,其中 find yourself repeatedly talking... 是“find + 宾语 + 宾语补足语(现在分词短语)”结构,表示“发现某人反复在做某事”;or 连接两个并列的现在分词短语 talking to someone 和 getting along well with them,共同作宾语补足语。主句是 ask for their number or social media,是一个祈使句,省略了主语 you。
2. College is more enjoyable when you surround yourself with people who make classes feel less intimidating and more supportive!
句意:当你身边有那些让课堂不再那么令人生畏、更有支持感的人时,大学生活会更加愉快。
分析:本句是一个主从复合句。主句是 College is more enjoyable;when you surround yourself with people 是时间状语从句;其中 who make classes feel less intimidating and more supportive 是定语从句,修饰先行词 people。在定语从句中,make 是谓语,classes 是宾语,feel less intimidating and more supportive 是省略了 to 的不定式短语作宾语补足语(即“make + 宾语 + 宾补”结构)。

Passage 2
I still remember the note. It was folded into a small square and slipped into my locker between third and fourth period. “You looked sad today. Want to sit with us at lunch? — Maya”
I had been at Westbrook High for three weeks. My family had moved over the summer, and I had started junior year knowing absolutely no one. Every morning, I told myself that today would be different. Every lunch, I sat alone in the corner of the cafeteria, pretending to read a book.
Maya's note changed everything. At first, I was terrified. What if they didn't actually want me there? What if I said something awkward? But when I walked into the cafeteria that day, Maya waved at me from a table by the window. She had saved me a seat.
That first lunch was clumsy. I mostly listened while Maya and her friends talked about a biology test and someone named Kevin who had said something ridiculous in history class. But no one stared at me. No one asked why I was there. They just... let me be there.
Over the next few weeks, I started talking more. I discovered that Maya loved the same band I did. Her friend Priya was also terrible at math, and we started studying together. By the end of the semester, I wasn't “the new kid” anymore. I was just part of the group.
Looking back, I realize that Maya took a risk that day. Reaching out to someone who is alone is not always comfortable. There is the possibility of rejection, of awkwardness. But she did it anyway. And because she did, I learned something important: a small gesture of inclusion can change someone's entire world.
Years later, I try to be Maya. When I see someone eating alone, I sit down. When I hear someone has been left out, I invite them in. Not because I'm brave, but because I remember what it felt like to be on the other side of that note.
24. How did the author feel when first receiving Maya's note?
A. Excited but doubtful. B. Angry and offended.
C. Indifferent and bored. D. Grateful but unconcerned.

A. She tries to dress like Maya.
B. She tries to reach out to lonely people.
C. She tries to avoid sitting alone.
D. She tries to be popular at school.
27. What is the main message of the passage?
A. High school is difficult for everyone.
B. Making friends requires luck.
C. Small acts of inclusion matter deeply.
D. New students should reach out first.
Passage 3
Interpersonal conflict is an unavoidable aspect of human relationships, yet research in social psychology suggests that the way individuals respond to disagreement varies significantly based on personality traits, cultural background, and learned communication patterns. Understanding these differences can help people navigate conflicts more effectively and preserve important relationships.
A comprehensive study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan followed 500 college students over two academic years, tracking their conflict resolution strategies in roommate relationships. The study identified four primary response patterns: competing (attempting to win the argument at all costs), avoiding (withdrawing from the conflict entirely), accommodating (giving in to the other person's wishes), and collaborating (working together to find a mutually acceptable solution).
The findings revealed that students who predominantly used collaborating strategies reported the highest levels of relationship satisfaction and the lowest rates of roommate changes. Conversely, those who relied on competing strategies experienced the most frequent conflicts and the highest turnover rates. Interestingly, avoiding strategies produced mixed results: while they reduced immediate tension, they often led to accumulated resentment and unexpected explosions over minor issues later in the semester.
Cultural factors played a significant role in strategy preference. Students from collectivist cultural backgrounds—where group harmony is prioritized over individual expression—were more likely to use accommodating or avoiding strategies. In contrast, students from individualist backgrounds showed a stronger preference for competing or collaborating approaches, depending on their personal communication styles.
The study's lead author, Dr. Sarah Chen, notes that no single strategy is universally optimal. “Collaboration is ideal when both parties are willing and time allows,” she explains. “However, avoiding can be appropriate for trivial issues that truly don’t matter, and accommodating may be wise when the relationship matters more than the specific outcome. The key is flexibility—knowing which strategy fits which situation.”
The practical implication for students is clear: developing a repertoire of conflict response strategies and learning to match them to specific situations can significantly improve both the quality and longevity of their relationships.
28. What did the University of Michigan study track over two years?
A. Academic performance of college students.
B. Conflict resolution strategies in roommate relationships.
C. The effect of personality on friendship formation.
D. Cultural differences in communication styles.
29. Which conflict strategy was associated with the highest relationship satisfaction?
A. Competing. B. Avoiding. C. Accommodating. D. Collaborating.
30. What does Dr. Chen say about the avoiding strategy?
A. It should never be used.
B. It is only used by collectivist cultures.
C. It can be appropriate for minor issues.
D. It always leads to relationship failure.
31. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To argue that conflict should be avoided at all costs.
B. To promote collaborating as the only effective strategy.
C. To explain different conflict strategies and their appropriate uses.
D. To criticize students who use competing strategies.
Passage 4
Social rejection—being excluded from a social group or relationship—activates many of the same neural pathways as physical pain. This striking finding, first documented by psychologists at UCLA in 2003, has been replicated in over two dozen subsequent studies and has fundamentally changed how scientists understand the human need for belonging.
The original study used functional magnetic resonance imaging(功能性磁共振成像)(FMRI) to observe brain activity while participants experienced social exclusion during a virtual ball-tossing game. The results showed significant activation in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (DACC) and the anterior insula—regions of the brain that are also activated by physical pain. In fact, a 2011 meta-analysis of 23 studies found that the neural overlap between social and physical pain is so substantial that taking acetaminophen (a common pain reliever) has been shown to reduce the emotional distress of social rejection.
Why would social rejection hurt like a physical injury? Evolutionary psychologists offer a compelling explanation. For early humans, being excluded from the group was a survival threat. An individual without a tribe could not hunt effectively, share food, or find protection from predators. Natural selection favored brains that interpreted social rejection as a danger signal—one that demanded immediate attention and behavioral change. Over thousands of generations, this neural wiring became embedded in the human brain.
The intensity of rejection's pain varies significantly among individuals. Research has identified several factors that influence susceptibility: previous experiences of rejection (particularly in childhood), attachment style (insecure attachment is associated with higher rejection sensitivity), and even genetic variations in the opioid system—the brain's natural painkilling network.
Importantly, the pain of rejection serves an adaptive function. It motivates individuals to modify their behavior to regain social acceptance. However, when rejection experiences are frequent or severe, this adaptive mechanism can become maladaptive, leading to social withdrawal, depression, or aggressive behavior—a phenomenon psychologists call "rejection sensitivity."
The practical implications for educators and parents are significant. Understanding that exclusion causes genuine pain—not just emotional “hur” but neurologically real distress—can inform interventions. Anti-bullying programs that focus on the impact of exclusion, rather than only physical bullying, address a form of suffering that is often invisible but no less real.
32. What did the 2003 UCLA study discover about social rejection?
A. It causes less distress than physical pain.
B. It activates brain regions associated with physical pain.
C. It has no effect on brain activity.
D. It only affects people with previous trauma.
33. Why does social rejection hurt according to evolutionary psychologists?
A. Because humans are naturally aggressive.
B. Because early humans depended on groups for survival.
C. Because rejection improves brain development.
D. Because modern society encourages competition.
34. What does the author mean by "rejection sensitivity" in Paragraph 5?
A. The ability to ignore rejection.
B. A condition where rejection leads to harmful responses.
C. The tendency to reject others first.
D. A genetic advantage for social survival.
35. What is the author's attitude toward understanding the neural basis of rejection?
A. It is useful for creating better anti-bullying programs.
B. It is interesting but has no practical application.
C. It proves that emotional pain is not real.
D. It suggests that exclusion should be ignored.
Passage 5
Why Friendships End ?
Friendships, like all relationships, sometimes come to an end. While this can be painful, understanding why friendships dissolve can help people cope with the loss and build healthier connections in the future. 36. ______
One common reason is life transitions. Moving to a new city, changing schools, or entering a different life stage (such as becoming a parent) can create distance between friends. 37. ______ Even when both parties care about each other, the practical realities of distance and different schedules can gradually weaken the bond.
Another factor is unequal investment. Friendships require effort from both sides. 38. ______ Over time, the person doing all the work may feel resentful and eventually withdraw, leading to the friendship's quiet end.
Value divergence is also a significant factor. As people grow and change, their core values—regarding politics, lifestyle, ambition, or ethics—may shift. 39. ______ When fundamental values no longer align, the friendship may become strained or unsustainable.
Finally, unresolved conflict can destroy a friendship. When disagreements are repeatedly avoided rather than addressed, resentment builds. 40. ______ Without repair, the friendship may reach a breaking point.
Understanding these patterns does not make the end of a friendship less sad. But it can help people recognize that sometimes, friendships end not because anyone is a bad person, but because the conditions that supported the friendship have changed.
A. Shared interests are the only thing that matters in a friendship.
B. What once brought friends together may eventually pull them apart.
C. Most friendships end for no reason at all.
D.When one person consistently initiates contact while the other does not, imbalance arises.
