After blogging regularly for two months, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks than those who didn’t blog. Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your friendships. Both online and face-to-face, a new Australian research has found
Researchers James Baker and Professor Susan Moore from Swinburne have written two papers investigating the psychological benefits of blogging-regularly updating personal web pages with information that invites others to comment.
The first, published in the latest issue of the journal CyberPsychology and Behaviour. compares the mental health of people intending to blog with that of people not planning to blog. Moore says the researchers messaged 600 MySpace users personally and directed them to an online survey. A total of 134 completed the questionnaire. 84 intended to blog and 50 didn’t.
“We found potential bloggers were less satisfied with their friendships and they felt less socially integrated; they didn’t feet as much part of a community as the people who weren’t interested in blogging …”Moore says. “It was as if they were saying ‘I’m going to do this blogging and it’s going to help me’.”
And it seemed to do the trick, as the researchers’ second study shows. This study which is yet to be published, was conducted two months later. The researchers sent out questionnaires(调查问卷)to the same group of MySpace users, this time 59 responded Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people and feeling more confident because they could rely on others for help. All respondents, whether or not they blogged, reported feeling less anxious, depressed and stressed after two months of online social networking.
“So going onto MySpace had lifted the mood of all participants in some way,” Moore says. “Maybe they’d just made more social connections.”
Moore acknowledges this is early research and hopes to follow a larger group of people for a longer period time to test some of the research findings.

Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble. His arrest has thrown up as many questions as it has answers. Top of the list is what should happen to Saddam now, closely followed by calls for information from him about Iraq"s weapons of mass destruction(大规模***伤性武器). He is currently being held by American troops at a secret place. The US says he will stand trial(审判) for his cruel actions during his years in power. This is likely to take place at a court set up two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council(伊拉克临管会). The council"s president Abdul Azizal-Hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死) if found guilty by the court. And the US supports this.“I think he ought to receive the worst punishment for what he has done to his people,”said US President George W. Bush, without directly stating that Saddam should be put to death. However, many nations, including Saddam"s long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court. Even Britain, America"s closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam"s execution. The UN Security Council(联合国安理会) has yet to make its position clear. But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan did say that“the UN does not support a death penalty.”Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see if the US and Britain can find the banned weapons they gave as the reason for the war in Iraq. Asked if Saddam"s capture could lead to a breakthrough in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said,“there"s obvious possibility there. But I think we should carry on what we"re doing in Iraq”.
50.After the arrest(逮捕) of Saddam, people are most concerned with the question that _____.
A.whether there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq B.where he is held now
C.how he will be punished D.none of the above
51.Which of the following is not true?
A.Saddam will be punished for his cruel actions. B.An international court will be set up.
C.UN does not support a death penalty.
D.Many nations think it is not fair to have the trial in the court set up by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council.
52.Tony Blair"s words implies that _____.
A.he is not sure whether they can find the weapons B.Britain will not take part in trial
C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B
As the proverb says,“No one knows the value of health until he loses it.”In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.
It is clear that health is the foundation(基础) of one"s future success. If you become sick, it is scarcely possible to pursue(从事) your career effectively, much less make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles(障碍) that lie ahead of you.
Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain(保持) our health? First we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours. If we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says,“Prevention is better than cure.”If you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.
In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are no more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component(组成部分) of your success.
57.A man knows the value of health _____.
A.till he loses B.before he loses it C.after he loses it D.when he doesn"t lose it
58.In the second paragraph,“go all out to”means _____.
A.go yourself outside to B.try very hard to C.go with your friends to D.save your energy to
59.In the third paragraph, the topic sentence is _____.
A.Health is the resource of our energy B.Prevention is better than cure
C.We might as well keep good hours D.This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life
60.“Those who are rich but poor in health are no more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body”this sentence is understood as “_____”.
A.Those who are rich but poor in health are less fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body.
B.Those who are rich but poor in health are as fortunate as those who are poor, and healthy in body.
C.Those who are rich but poor in health are not more fortunate than those who are poor, and healthy in body.
D.Those who are rich but poor in health are as unfortunate as those who are poor, and healthy in body.

Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano,a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated,the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall,the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly,the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror,the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard,innocently picking out Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy"s ear, "Don"t quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.
That"s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren"t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life"s work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don"t quit, keep playing.

A. be encouraged to be a brave man B. become a famous pianist
