A(2025·深圳南山期末)
Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move house. They don't know how to start the conversation again if they don't talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so.
Psychologists(心理学家) from colleges did a study about how people feel about getting in touch with old friends.
The study shows over 90% of the people don't call their old friends. 70% of them don't want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won't want to hear from them or are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strange people.
Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, "Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won't feel embarrassed(尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better."
In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call?

答案： 1. B 提示:细节理解题。第一段说的是:人们在转学或搬家后与老朋友联系时感到困难。如果长时间不和老朋友联系,他们就不知如何重新开启对话。许多人想联系老朋友,但他们害怕这样做。由此可知,作者以列事实的方式开篇。
2. B 提示:细节理解题。根据第三段中“70% of them don't want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won't want to hear from them or are too busy to talk with them.”可知,大多数人不主动给老朋友打电话,因为他们担心老朋友不想听他们的消息或老朋友太忙没空谈话,由此可知,他们不想麻烦老朋友。
3. C 提示:细节理解题。第四段拉拉·阿克宁说:“大多数人担心自己现在有着不同的生活方式和兴趣爱好。但这些差异对人们彼此亲近是有帮助的。分享一些新鲜有趣的东西之后,他们一点也不会感到尴尬。相反,他们能更好地了解彼此。”结合选项可知,选项C“差异可以帮助人们亲近老朋友”正确。
4. B 提示:主旨大意题。根据最后一段可知,选项B“要勇敢地和老朋友联系”是作者想要告诉我们的。
5. D 提示:推理判断题。结合文章大意和选项可推断,本文最可能源自一本科普杂志。
