My family didnt know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state*. On my knees, I said softly, Hello, Grandpa.Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. When I asked about how he was, he told me, Ill be fine, Henry. But we both knew that wasnt true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage* I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet. I just want to make sure. By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know became free.Smiling, he said, I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. Thats all I want of you.From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I got in touch with others to show my thanks.

You too? I thought I was the only one. Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.It seemed that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher(哲学家) Aristotle once said, Some define(下定义) friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves.Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported.The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity.According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation(动力)， learning and memory.However, people who werent friends had different reactions to the same clips.Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes ones won values, opinions, and interests strength, scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. In this experiment, students who sat in neighbouring seats were more likely to become friends.（1）What does this idea in Paragraph 3 refer to? A . Many friendships start with small chats.B . Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.C . People with similarities may become friends D . We like those who like us first.（2）The 42 university students in the experiment_. A . are all from the University of CaliforniaB . were close friends before the experimentC . watched the same set of videosD . reacted differently from each other（3）What did the study of the students brains show? A . They had watched the same video clips.B . Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.C . Watching videos improves ones memory.D . Its good to have friends who react similarly.（4）According to the story , what else may help build friendship? A . Being fun and helpfulB . Studying at the same college.C . Having similar appearancesD . Being physically close.（5）The best title of the passage is _ A . What is friendshipB . Friends can think alikeC . An experiment about friendshipD . How can we build friendship19. （10分）阅读理解 Whats sleepwalking(梦游)？Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep. Not all sleepwalkers walk when they are sleeping.
