I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.
Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others in need, the world would be a better place to live.

September is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.
Homesickness manifests (显露) itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.
But remember, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.
Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, “nostos” from Greek, and the accompanying pain, “algos”.
Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.
1.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A. homesickness means a fond memory of the past
B. only a few students will experience homesickness
C. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen
D. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks
2.According to the passage, we can know that ________.
A. homesickness may cause mental diseases
B. homesickness is a feeling only shared by adults
C. homesickness won’t do any good to our health
D. homesickness is also called nostalgia in Switzerland
3.The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is ________.
A. negativeB. supportiveC. doubtfulD. critical
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Let’s accept homesickness
B. How to fit in with the college life
C. A harmful emotion—homesickness
D. The disadvantages of homesickness

科目：高中英语 来源：2017届黑龙江牡丹江一中高三9月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
When going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.
Most people don’t make these choices consciously, though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.
There’s no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.
What about loyalty? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if his influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by him?
Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.
It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can’t have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it’s often the best thing for the other person, too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it’s also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.
1.When experiencing major life changes, people may _______.
A. join a new social community
B. influence their friend around
C. choose their friendships purposely
D. have their people environment changed
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Everyone has at least one friend.
B. It is unnecessary to make new friends.
C. Friendships still exist though there are fewer connections.
D. You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.
3.What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends?
A. Never betray your close friends whatever happens.
B. Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.
C. Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you.
D. Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.
4.How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?
A. We should accept what we are told to do.
B. We should stay silent and be in favor of him.
C. We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.
D. We should give our boss courage to continue.
