One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support financial aid, material resources, and needed services that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.1.Interpersonal relationships are important because _.Athey are indispensable to peoples social well-beingBthey waken peoples desire to exchange resourcesCthey help people to cope with life in the information eraDthey can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.2.Research shows that peoples physical and mental health _.Arelies on the social welfare systems which support themBhas much to do with the amount of support they get from othersCdepends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesDis closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word cushions ( Line 1, Para. 2) ?AAdds up to.BDoes away with.

While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them. Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief. “No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life. As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships. Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in ones life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.6.The second paragraph implies that _.Ateenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problemsBa widow or a widower will die very soon without companionshipChuman beings need companionship and a sense of belongingDboth A and B7. “No man is an island”(Line 1, Para. 3) implies that _.Aeveryone is a part of an island Bman cannot be an islandCeveryone is just a part of society Dsociety is an island8.

C詞匯題?！癷rrespective”(第五段最后一句)這個詞語的意思是“不論，不考慮”。見最后一句，“Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on .”不論親密的程度如何，任何友誼都是建立在互惠、誠實和一定的友愛和關(guān)懷的基礎(chǔ)之上的。根據(jù)上下文，可推測出這個詞語的意思是“不論，不考慮”。所以C為正確答案。Listening to others is an even more important part of communication than speaking.

But when British people say that theirsociety is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then beto his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children willbe their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents northe husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to asktheir permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school andbecome financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. Agirl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.1. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B.
