I thought I was the only one. Have you ever said to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends.It seems that similarity often helps form a friendship. Aristotle once said, Some define (给下定义) it (friendship) as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves.Now, there are some scientific explanations for this idea. The scientists from the University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a scientific test. Each student watched the same set of videos. At the same time, the scientists scanned (扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activities.According to their study, friends who watched the same videos reacted (反应) in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially the parts that were connected with motivation, learning and memory. However, people who werent friends had different reactions to the same videos.Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it reinforces (加强) ones own values, opinions and interests, lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in a friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that a friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. They did a scientific test on first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this test, students who sat next to each other were more likely to become friends.（1）According to Aristotles words, we can know thatA . We love those who like us first.B . All friends have similar brains.C . Friends may be like each other.D . Good friends all have similar habits.（2）What does the underlined word rewarding mean? A . GoodB . DifficultC . EasyD . meaningful（3）Which of the following can help form a friendship according to the passage? A . Being cheerful and popular.B . Being physically close.C . Living on the same street.D . Going to the same university.（4）What does the passage mainly tell us? A . How we pick our friends.B . Why we need friends.C . Whose brains are similar.D . Friendship means everything.二、 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)5. （10分）阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 The facedown generation（一代）If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the ohohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, worldwide, and no doubt smart. Maybe goodlooking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that youre more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the facedown generation because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.Other adults worry that todays youth are spoilt(溺爱)and dont want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by helicopter parents. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and afterschool activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, todays youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the facedown generation need a headsup? Well, probably not. The fact .is that many of todays teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls rights to go to school.So if youre one of the ohohs, theres reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the facedown generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.（1）If Alice was born in 2004, is she an ohoh? （2）Why do some adults think of the ohohs as the facedown generation? （3）What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children? （4）How does the writer organize Paragraph 4?
