While there are people who cannot even stand the thought of staying at home for more than five hours, there are people who just refuse to leave their home no matter how much you try to encourage them. These people think staying at home is better than going out. Here are some reasons given by them.

You are in control of your day.

Unless you go out alone, you’ll most likely need approval(批准) from all your friends before deciding where to go or what to do. Alone at home, you can do whatever you want without having being judged.

You won’t get angry.

When you’re out there, impolite people and nasty friends could just make you angry. When you’re at home, the only thing that could make you angry is your slow Internet connection(连接).

Your day will pass faster.

Has there been any research that shows spending time at home will make your time pass faster? If not, then here’s one new study: according to a study based on just one subject, your day will pass faster if you just stay at home.

Do you think there are any other reasons? Please comment HERE.

1.Who may affect one to make decisions while going out according to Para. 2?

A Friends.

B Families.

C Impolite people.

解析：选A。A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句的“Unless you go out alone, you’ll most likely need approval from all your friends before deciding where to go or what to do.”可知，除非你一个人出去，否则在决定去哪里或做什么之前，你很可能需要得到朋友的批准。因此出去玩时朋友可能会影响一个人的决定。故选A。

2.What does the underlined word “nasty” mean?

A Shocked.

B Unkind.

C Independent.

D Weak.

解析：选B。B 词义猜测题。根据前面的“impolite people”和后面的“make you angry”可知，当你在外面的时候，不礼貌的人和不友好的朋友可能会让你生气。故选B。
