Ⅱ.阅读理解
Boys need friends, suffer when they don’t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island: boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are actually more fragile(脆弱的). Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”: they love games with rules, competition, and do things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected: being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.
As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life — and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
1. The common belief of adults is that boys ________.
A. don’t value friendships as much as girls
B. don’t care about others as much as girls
C. have the same friendship as girls
D. have healthier friendship than girls
2. According to the passage, ________.
A. boys like to have small groups of friends
B. boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games
C. boys’ friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt
D. boys’ friendships can hardly end in failure
3. As a boy gets older, he tends to ________.
A. widen his circle of friends to include his parents
B. shift his focus from his friends to himself
C. leave his parents out of his friends
D. be confused about what a friendship is
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Friendships Between Boys and Girls
B. Tips on Making Friends with Boys
C. Childhood and Adolescent Friendship
D. Boys and Their Friendship

All members of the animal kingdom communicate extensively among themselves without using any apparent words. In addition, some species, like whales, dolphins and elephants, employ sounds or body language as well.
5
Absolutely! Our domesticated pets are excellent examples of animals who consistently try to communicate with humans.
The method they’re using to “talk” to us is called telepathy.
6
however, our pets often have to add some body language when they express their thoughts in order to accurately get their messages across to us.
But is there a way to clearly understand what they’re saying, not only about every day things, but also about behavioral problems or health challenges? Is there some way we can actually learn to “speak their language?”
7
Pets send us pictures when they want to tell us something, and we can see these pictures when our minds are quiet, and our own thoughts are set aside.
8
The movie clips, which are always filled with some action, last for two or three seconds. Then it’s as if they rewind and repeat themselves until the pet is satisfied that I’ve understood what he or she is trying to tell me.
9
It helps us to find out what your animal companion is thinking or feeling, what their needs are, how they’re handling relationships with another person or pet, how they feel about a particular place or a situation in their lives, or what their lives were like before they came to live with you.
A. How do animals communicate with people?
B. But do animals also try to communicate with people?
C. Again, the answer is “Absolutely, yes!”
D. They send messages without using any words.
E. We really don’t know.
F. Animal communication is a great tool for us to use.
G. When a pet is “talking” to me, I see what looks like individual photos or movie clips.
