A few years ago I worked in an international company that sold computer devices． I had to travel a lot over the country as a part of my work． I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money．
On one of my trips， I came to the airport to take a bus to downtown， as usual． It was the same routine： get into the city， take the bus to the hotel， visit the customer， work late， take the bus back to the airport and fly back…That day， for some reasons， I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit， where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before． I waited there， enjoying the scenery． Finally the bus came．
Usually I always took the seat behind the driver． That day I sat down somewhere in the middle． A boy was seated next to me， carrying a lot of suitcases． Suddenly， he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger． Warmly， he said， "hi， the perfect day in the perfect place， huh？"
I remember thinking to myself ﹣ this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy． Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride？ But out of politeness， I replied， "Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach？" "No， I'm not here for vacation， and I don't have parents，" He shook his head， "I'm here because I want to achieve my biggest dream． I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago．"
Paragraph 1：
"I lost my dad 10 years ago then my mom married again． My stepfather…

The effect of having no friends
A study has found that people who are lonely have more physical and mental health problems than those who feel connected with others. It affects your health in four ways.
You are more likely to be depressed (抑郁的).
1. Researchers have shown that when you’re lonely, brain hormones associated with stress such as cortisol (皮质醇) become active, which can cause depression. The previous research has found that the more positive social interactions (交流) people with depression have, the more improvement in symptoms they experience.
2.
Research has shown you’ll eat less healthily if you frequently dine alone. Researchers have pointed out that if you are cooking for other people, you are more likely to prepare a healthier meal that contains a range of foods—meat, starch (淀粉) and vegetables. 3. People who are lonely are also more likely to be physically inactive.
You are more likely to suffer from heart disease.
Research has repeatedly shown lonely people have a higher risk of heart disease, and it’s for many reasons. Since they don’t have social support, they’re more likely to be affected by stress. 4. If they’re lonely, they’re less likely to be physically active or eat properly. If they don’t feel well, they’re much less likely to go to see a doctor.
5.
Research has found that loneliness can affect the immune (免疫的) system. People who are lonely produce more inflammation (发炎)—related proteins in response to stress than folks who feel more socially connected. Inflammation is linked to numerous health conditions including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
A.You are likely to eat more food.
B.You had better get on well with others.
C.You are less likely to take care of yourself.
D.You could have a weaker system to fight off disease.
E.This increases the possibility of getting heart disease.
F.Otherwise, you’re just throwing something together for yourself.
G.The more lonely you feel, the more likely you are to be depressed.
Imagine stepping out your front door and standing in the middle of a national park. Daniel hopes this might soon be possible for millions of London residents. Daniel is leading a campaign to make London a national park city.
Although London has much more concrete than a national park usually would, it is home to more than 13,000 kinds of wildlife. These species live in its 3,000 parks, along with 15,000 varieties of flowering plants, and more than 300 species of birds. In fact, 47 percent of the land in London is green space.
“We have 8 million trees in London; it’s the world’s largest urban forest,” Daniel says. That’s almost one tree for every person living in London! Yet, even though London has thousands of outdoor spaces, one in seven children living there hasn’t visited a green space in the past year.
Daniel believes that making London into a national park will protect the animal life and green spaces in London. He hopes it will also encourage people, especially young people, to spend more time outdoors. Daniel takes his own son out to explore in London, and he thinks that other parents should do the same. Daniel believes that people who spend a lot of time in nature live happier and healthier lives. What do you think?
1.The campaign led by Daniel is________.
A.to create a new beautiful village B.to attract more visitors to parks
C.to build a modern town in England D.to make London a national park city
2.We can learn from Paragraph 2 and 3 that ________.
A.London has 8 million trees B.London is a small urban forest
C.there are few parks in London D.more than 50% of London is green space
3.In Daniel’s opinion, other parents should________.
A.take care of themselves B.help their children with their schoolwork
C.spend a lot of time indoors D.take their children out to explore in London
4.What can be the best title for the text?
