22．（8分）We have some friends who em as if they understand and appreciate you, but really they might not. A girl named Nevaeh was about to find a friend that she thought understood her, but she actually didn't.
When Nevaeh was in kindergarten she didn't have friends. Every time she wanted to make some they would just walk away. That happened until she went to the third grade when a girl named Brooke said hello to her.
Nevaeh, a shy girl, didn’t answer. Since Nevaeh had no friends to talk to, her mouth would clo up. After knowing Nevaeh was shy and needed friends, Brooke wouldn't leave Nevaeh s side and always talked to her. Nevaeh started talking more and was less shy. Once Brooke took her to her friends.

They had arguments about the wav Nevaeh wanted to look, and how Brooke didn't like what she wore.
Nevaeh wasn’t sure if she could really trust Brooke any more. That was until she met Susan who understood Nevaeh and didn’t judge her by her looks, but had the same interests as Nevaeh. They liked to dress in the same kinds of things and had similar hobbies.
Nevaeh really liked Susan becau she never judged her. When they were talking about their interests it was like they had known each other for a long lime.

23．（8分）The cret to living longer could be as simple as picking up your walking pace, according to a new study. Rearchers from the University of Sydney found that walking at a brisk(快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cau of death.
This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the study, explained, “A fast pace is generally five to six kilom eters per hour, but it really depends on a walker’s fitness levels; an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty.”
In the study, the rearchers looked at the results of 11 surveys from 134 to 2008, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, x and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for all-cau mortality(死亡率) compared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent.
The rearchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about t
he benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, “The analys suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to improve heart health and risk for premature mortality--- providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote.
“Especially in situations when walking more isn’t possible due t o time pressures or a less walking-friendly environment, walking faster may be a good option to get the heart rate up--- one that most people can easily add to their lives.”
1、Who benefit most from walking fast?
A．Cancer sufferers. B．The elderly.
