阅读理解。阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Nowadays some students in middle school date with their classmates．According to a new study from the University of Georgia, those students have much worse study skills and are four times more likely to stop schooling．They use twice as much alcohol

and tobacco than their single classmates．

th

Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to

12 grades．

Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviours, including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students7 academic efforts． He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．

\all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and students with highest dating as having the worst study skills,\．Study skills refer to behaviours that lead to academic success such as doing homework for extra credit, being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters．

\a classmate may have the same emotional complications （并发症） of dating a co-worker,\Orpinas said．\the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner （前伴侣） dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract （分散注意力） them from studying．\

空。D

Try rubbing(摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called “friction”(摩擦力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石), but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.

Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous(磷), a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole（底）of a shoe.

At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.

What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852, the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the matchhead—it was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.

1. Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood? A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight.
