Read the following passage and answer the following questions in complete sentences:Write your answers in your answer sheet:

  Hello.It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last words we think to use as adults today.That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello——it is recognition of another’s worth.How might the world change——how might we change——if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met.Here’s what I’ve learned.

  It can boost(促进)productivity.In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan All day, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning.This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity.School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.

  Environments influence friendliness.One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside.My experience was similar.Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones.Similarly, people in vacation spots were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.

  It’s a form of universal health insurance.It’s impossible to say hello without smiling.And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness.Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient(接受者).

So maybe we can make the world a better place by ________.After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and I have a better sense of well-being.

Modern life is a lot les s to the advantage of friendships and neighborliness than it used to be. The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches (前走廊). These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names. 

Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.

The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life. 

_________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.

Friendships fade away if there isn't an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through.

A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.

Healthy knees aren't the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says chunky heels are just __________as spindly stilettos (细高跟鞋).  

"It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) — and once you do, it is too ]ate," said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School's department of physical medicine.

"I compare it to smoking — one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all day long, "Kerrigan said. "They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as had for your knees."

 The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn't new — scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained (扭伤) ankles and back problems. 

But in 1998,Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage (软骨) surrounding the knee.

 The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.

 "This study confirms what we all intuitively (直觉地) know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health," said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.
