When I met Ken, I fund him utging and kind. He ften spke his mind directly, then quickly sftened, as if realizing he might have been t straightfrward. I’d smile and eventually chat alng with him, and he’d lk surprised that we clicked s well. We were discvering that despite the great differences between us, there were islands f cmmn grund.
Certain threads (线) tie us tgether unexpectedly. At first, they were simple, like ur lve fr Dungens & Dragns, hrrr mvies and dark Irish cmedy. But we als bth lve a gd cry — and actually, we bth remember the first time we cried tgether, shwing ur true weakness t each ther, as the real start t ur friendship. Over time, ur friendship deepened thrugh cuntless creative prjects, shared recmmendatins and ur precius mvie nights, when we watch tgether ver a warm meal. These small daily habits frm a steady, rare friendship between generatins that is built nt n duty but n chsing each ther again and again.
Nw I’m 28 and Ken is 60. I’m an “ld sul” and Ken is “yung at heart”. Our friendship gives us a cnnectin that we dn’t find with peers, s I feel free t be emtinal with him. The benefit ges bth ways. Ken says I bring back his yuthfulness because I treat him as a peer, which brings him indescribable jy. Our unusual friendship is really gd fr ur health.
T find ut mre abut why the relatinship between Ken and me is s rewarding, I spke with a develpmental psychlgist, Abby Stephan, PhD, whse research fcuses n intergeneratinal relatinships. Stephan explains that “inter” means “between”, representing mutual influence. Strng intergeneratinal friendships rely n a wider range f experiences than same-age nes. Fr yunger adults, these friendships have been assciated with greater cnfidence, higher self-esteem and a strnger sense f lng-term perspective. Fr lder adults, they can ffer a greater sense f purpse and meaning, reduced lneliness and mre cmplex perspective-taking.
Hwever, friends f different generatins may be in different life stages, which can affect pririties, energy levels r cmmunicatin styles. Stephan suggests, “Having a casual cnversatin abut cmmunicatin preferences, like ways, frequency and time f day, can be really helpful.”
4. What des the underlined phrase “islands f cmmn grund” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Things that peple agree n.
B. Disagreements between peple.
C. Small areas f land in the cean.
D. Places that peple can visit tgether.
5. What event marked the real beginning f the authr’s friendship with Ken?
A. They discvered they shared several hbbies.
B. They expsed their real selves t each ther.
C. They fund they culd cmmunicate very well.
D. They began t meet regularly in their daily life.
6. What can we knw abut intergeneratinal friendships?
A. They allw peple t express their emtins freely.
B. They are mre satisfying than same-age friendships.
C. They benefit bth peple invlved in the relatinship.
D. They are becming mre and mre cmmn tday.
7. What is Stephan’s advice fr intergeneratinal friends?
A. T fcus n their similar life experiences.
B. T keep in tuch as frequently as pssible.
C. T change their wn cmmunicatin styles.
D. T talk penly abut their cmmunicatin needs.

What d humans have in cmmn with the dinsaurs that wandered thrugh ancient frests? It turns ut that bth may have a surprising impact n the size f seeds in the plants grwing arund them. A recent study in Palaentlgy illustrates hw, ver the curse f natural histry, huge animals such as dinsaurs cntrl the grwth f seed sizes by activities influencing frest light levels. Tday that rle may be filled by a much tinier species: humans.
By mdeling ancient ecsystems, the study suggests dinsaurs caused a level f destructin that prevented an evlutinary tendency fr seeds t grw. Bigger seeds tend t attract bigger animals fr spreading and t grw int taller plants; bth factrs can give plants better access t sunlight in crwded cnditins. But this was generally nt the case when there were big dinsaurs kncking things dwn, pening up the envirnment and decreasing the frest cver.
After dinsaurs went extinct, lw-grwing frest plants became abut 20 percent darker. This change started anew fr the plants, accrding t the mdel. And during this time, the treetps became mre clsed. This grwth wuld have pressed the seeds t get larger again, which is als reflected in fssil (化石) data. Anther drp in seed sizes ccurred with the emergence f early giant mammals (哺乳动物) and cntinued until they died ut.
But even thugh we’re far frm dinsaur-sized, humans’ influence n frests — particularly via cutting dwn trees — is similar t that f thse lng-extinct giants. If we cntinue at this rate, ur effect n plant seeds might smeday match that f dinsaurs. Humans influence plant life in many ways such as intrducing freign species, clearing frests t develp residential areas, t make cities, and s n.
That cmplexity is ne reasn why it culd be difficult fr the mdel t frecast future plant seed sizes. Anther imprtant factr t cnsider is the rapid pace at which human technlgy tends t develp in areas such as farming. Althugh the mdel prvides a gd cmparisn f frest thickness changes caused by big animals and by humans, fast develpments such as agriculture mean nrmal eclgical rules dn’t really apply anymre.
8. Hw did dinsaurs influence seed sizes?
A. By making the frest thinner.
B. By changing the sil cmpsitin.
C. By cnsuming plenty f plant leaves.
D. By limiting the space fr plant grwth.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Hw dinsaurs went extinct in the mdel.
B. What prmted the grwth f frest plants.
C. What rle fssil data played in the research.
D. Hw seed sizes changed with huge animal shifts.
10. What makes it difficult t frecast seed sizes?
A. The richness f plant species.
B. The cmplexity f the mdel.
C. The rapid technlgy develpment.
D. The unpredictable climate patterns.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Humans: Anther Impact n Seed Sizes
B. Dinsaurs: The Tp Killer f Green Frest
C. Seed Sizes: A Mirrr f Human Develpment
D. Mammals: A Key Witness f Species Evlutin

On September 7, 1991, the cstliest hailstrm (雹暴) in Canadian histry hit Calgary’s suthern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a grup f insurance cmpanies have spent abut $2 millin per year n the Alberta Hail Suppressin Prject. Airplanes seed threatening strm cells with a chemical t make small ice crystals (冰晶) fall as rain befre they can grw int dangerus hailstnes. But farmers in east-central Alberta — dwnwind (下风处) f the hail prject flights — wrry that precius misture (水分) is being stlen frm their thirsty land by the clud seeding.
Nrman Stienwand, wh farms in that area has been addressing public meetings n this issue fr years. “Basically, the prvincial gvernment is letting the insurance cmpanies prtect the Calgary-Edmntn urban area frm hail,” Mr Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drught risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail prject is managed by Terry Krauss, a clud physicist wh wrks fr Weather Mdificatin Inc. f Farg, Nrth Dakta. “We affect nly a very small percentage f the ttal misture in the air, s we cannt be causing drught,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the misture dwnwind by creating wetter grund.”
One dubter abut the safety f clud seeding is Chuck Dswell, a research scientist wh just retired frm the University f Oklahma. “In 1999, I persnally saw significant trnades (龙卷风) frm frm a seeded strm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Dswell says. “Des clud seeding create killer strms r reduce misture dwnwind? N ne really knws, f curse, but the seeding ges n.”
Given the degree f dubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It wuld be wise t stp clud seeding.” In practice, dubt has had the ppsite effect. Due t the lack f scientific prf cncerning their impacts, n ne has succeeded in winning a lawsuit (官司) against clud-seeding cmpanies. Therefre, private climate engineering can cntinue in relative legal safety.
12. What des the prject aim t d?
A. Cnserve misture in the sil.B. Prevent the frmatin f hailstnes.
C. Frecast disastrus hailstrms.D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
13. Wh are ppsed t the prject?
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta.B. Managers f insurance cmpanies.
C. Prvincial gvernment fficials.D. Residents f Calgary and Edmntn.
14. Why des Dr. Dswell mentin the trnades he saw in 1999?
A. T cmpare different kinds f seeding methds.
B. T illustrate the develpment f big hailstrms.
C. T indicate a pssible danger f clud seeding.
D. T shw the link between strms and misture.
15. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have prved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The dubt abut clud seeding has disappeared.
D. Clud-seeding cmpanies will cntinue t exist.

My dad, Gerge, nly had an eighth-grade educatin. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my wrld f schl activities. Frm age 14. he wrked. And his dad, Albert, tk the mney my dad earned and used it t pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his wrld either: He was a livestck trucker, and I thught that I wuld surpass anything he had accmplished by the time I walked acrss the stage at high schl graduatin. Summers in the mid-70s were spent at hme shting baskets, hitting a baseball, r thrwing a ftball, preparing fr my future as a quarterback n a ftball team. In pr weather, I read abut sprts r practiced my trmbne. The summer befre my eighth grade I was ne f a grup f bys that a neighbring farmer hired t wrk in his field. He explained ur basic task, the tractr fired up and we were ff, riding dwn the field lking fr weeds t spray with chemicals. After a shrt way, the farmer stpped and pinted at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened ver and ver, but we sn learned t identify different grasses like cckleburs, lamb’s-quarters, fxtails, and the king f weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring wrk, but I lked frward t the pay, even thugh I wasn’t sure hw much it wuld amunt t.
At hme, my dad said, “A jb’s a big step t grwing up. I’m glad yu will be cntributing t the husehld.” My dad’s wrds made me realize that my earnings might nt be mine t d with as I wished.
My labrs lasted abut tw weeks, and the farmer said there might be mre wrk, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was nt fair that I had t cntribute my mney.
