A
We have some friends who seem as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn't.
When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn't have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.
Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would close up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn't leave Nevaeh s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends. There were only three girls, Karla, Mariana, and Isela, but Nevaeh was fine with it. At least she had friends.
They got along very well and had a few things in common. When they were finally in middle school, Brooke and Nevaeh became best friends, but as they got older, they changed. When Nevaeh changed the way she looked and acted, Brooke didn't like it. Brooke startled to judge her, and make her wear stuff that she didn’t like. They had arguments about the wav Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn't like what she wore.
Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke anymore. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.
Nevaeh really liked Susan because she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long lime.
Nevaeh was still friends with the other girls, and was happy that she finally had someone that understood her and appreciated her.

2、Why did Nevaeh have no friends in kindergarten?

A．She rejected it. B．She tolerated it.
C．She corrected it. D．She appreciated it.
4、What was Susan like according to the text?
A．Brave and helpful. B．Smart and humorous.
C．Sincere and supportive. D．Clever and hard-working.

B
Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进）happiness，according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.
Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks. ’’
The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the neighbor ’ s kid to run errands (跑腿）to taking an Uber instead of a bus.
On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase，’’ said Whillans.
The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.
“ One reason，’’ said Whillans，is that we' re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the future. ” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (外包）that task，” said Whillans，u or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’
1、In the Canadian experiment, the participants .
A．were divided into two groups
B．were given $ 40 every two weeks
C．were asked to give money to a neighborJ s kid
D．were asked to spend the money in different ways
2、According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?
A．Paying much for a concert ticket.
B．Taking a regular bus to get to work.
C．Employing someone to clean the garden.
D．Buying themselves an expensive present.
3、When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”， .
A．no people would like to do it
B．a small percentage of people choose to do it
C．more people will do it if extra money is given
D．most people like the idea but don ’ t practice it in life
4、What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling”in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The good old-fashioned guilt.
B．The feeling of spending’money on goods.
C．The stress of having someone clean your house.
D．The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.
