Expensive：The cost of finding love is,on average,two inner circle friends,scientists have found.

Ever found yourself dumped (度棄的) by a friend embarking (著手，開始做) on a romance? Don't worry,you're probably not the only one. For according to Oxford University scientists,every time we start a relationship we jettison (拋棄，丟棄) two of our closest friends.

Most of us simply don't have enough time for intimate (密切的) friendships with more than four or five people,their research shows.

And a new love interest leads to two friends being pushed out of the inner circle.

Professor Robin Dunbar,one of Britain's leading experts in evolutionary biology,ex?plained："If you go into a romantic relationship it actually costs you two friends in that inner core of relationships."

"Instead of having the typical five friends,they only have four in that inner circle. And bearing in mind that one of those is the new person that has come into your life,it means you have to give up two others."

Men tend to have four or five intimate friends,women five or six,he said.

However,men were just as likely to jettison friends at the start of a new romantic attach?ment (情感) as women,found the study of those aged 18 to 60.

"Your attention is so wholly focused on the romantic partners,you just don't get to see the other folks you had a lot to do with before”，the professor told the British Science Festival in Birmingham. " Those relationships start to deteriorate."

But it's not just romance that can push out close friends,he explained. Children or buying a dog can have the same effect.

"You can only have five slots (位置) for deeply intense and meaningful relations. Those in?dividuals don't have to be human. They can be your dog or your favourite chrysanthemum (菊花) plant. They can be people in an entirely fictional world,they can be soap opera characters. They can be God or they can be saints."

(   ) 5. Which of these behaviors can't we jettison our cldse friends?

   A. Giving a birth to a baby. B. Planting some flowers.

   C. Raising a puppy. D. Living the normal life.

(   ) 6. What does the underlined sentence really mean?

   A. Men,as well as women,are likely to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

   B. Men but not women are likely to push out close friends at very beginning of a new romance.

   C. Women don't do like man to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

   D. Both men and women are not likely to behave the same.

(   ) 7. According to the context,guess the meaning of the underlined word "deteriorate".

   A. Grow worse. B. Become better. C. Go upward. D. Turn down.

(   ) 8. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

   A. Only with humans can one maintain deeply intense and meaningful relations.

   B. Dogs and planting some chrysanthemum can't make one push out close friends.

   C. Limited slots for deep relations and easy to be occupied.

   D. The more slots you have,the more intense and meaningful relations you get.

"A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right ," says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audi?ence for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion,it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (讓人愉快) ，Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said ' Nonsense,Mollie,dear,you'll be a writer. ' So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的) and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood in?evitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with butter?cup meadows and strawberry fields―sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back," she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books in Scotland," she said, "I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village black?smith at work. And that's important,because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them,as it did for us."

(   ) 5. What does Mollie Hunter's opinion about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

(   ) 6. In Mollie Hunter's viewpoint,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience. B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The weakness of description. D. The absence of a story.

(   ) 7. In comparison with children of earlier years,Mollie feels that modern children are

   A. more intelligent   B. better informed

   C. less eager to learn   D. less interested in reality

(   ) 8. What's the writer's purpose in writing this text?

   A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books.

   B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter's books.

   C. To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience.

   D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter's existing readers.

My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice,recommended by many Eng?lish teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was some?what disastrous"艮糟的) .Stumbling (搖搖晃晃的) along the lines,I had great difficulty in under?standing the novel,let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me,but rather the way Austen constructs sentences,and her way of thinking,which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his concise (簡明的) and straightforward style. So my first suggestion is,as a beginner,you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. You can easily engage yourself in reading,get fun out of it,and gradually build up confidence. I do not mean to exclude (不在考慮之列) classi?cal novels for ever. Actually,the second reading of Pride and Prejudice greatly pleased me (probably the result of my improved English comprehension) . It is only that classical novels are less accessible (易接近的) to beginners due to their language styles and social background. I'd like to recommend three contemporary novelists to you―Ursula Le Guin,Ernest Hemingway,and Doris Lessing.

However,reading novels is not the only way to improve your English. In fact,if you re?strict yourself to novels,you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you,entertain you,and refine your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain,yet you cannot help feeling the elegance (雅致) and the peculiar sense of hu?mor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion―essays are indispensable (必不可少的) .

My last advice is never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly,however fa?mous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas,but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes,one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind,we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

(   ) 5. What does the underlined phrase "let alone" mean in the first paragraph?

   A. Lacking companions.

   B. On your own.

   C. Not to mention.

   D. Without anybody or anything else.

(   ) 6. What is a shortcoming of restricting yourself only to novels according to the author?

   A. The value of novels is really limited.

   B. The style of novels is not worth appreciating.

   C. We may overleap many other worthy treasures in reading.

   D. We can't enjoy ourselves while reading novels.

(   ) 7. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

   A. Sharing some experiences on how to choose the appropriate books,especially as a beginner.

   B. English essay is another treasure to improve your English.

   C. We shouldn't follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly.

   D. We'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.

(   ) 8. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

   A. It Is Not Enough for One to Understand the Novel

   B. To Cultivate One's Taste in English Prose,the Most Effective Way Is to Read English Books Extensively

   C. Reading English Novels Can Also Improve One's English

   D. We Shouldn't Restrict Ourselves to Reading
