These days， finding a “dazi （搭子）’ is becoming popular with young Chinese people. A dazi is a person we eat with， study with， exercise with or take a trip with， but we don't know him or her before.

The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue， a young woman from Ningxia prefers to find dazi and has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company （陪伴） but also helps her enjoy sport more.

These dazi relationships are surely different from close friendships. As for close friends， we need to stay in close contact. With a dazi， you don't have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So， many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable.

Finding a dazi shows that young Chinese people want clearer boundaries（界限） in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope that these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests， or that they can help them to improve themselves.

Although finding a dazi has many good points， we should be careful and always put our safety first.

1. How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi？

A. Serious. B.Difficult.

C. Enjoyable. D.Meaningless.

2.What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A.Having a social life. B. Playing games together. C. Stayingin close contact. D. Talking about personal life 3. Why do young Chinese people like to find a dazi？

① To improve themselves.

② To save time and money.

③ To share their hobbies and interests.

④ To have boundaries in their social relationships.

A. ①②③ B.①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 4. What does the writer want us to do when we look for a dazi？

A.Bekind to others.

B. Think of our safety first.

C. Don't be afraid to give it a try.

D.Find a person in the same place.

5.What is the best title for the passage？
