阅读理解     Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he
can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa,talking,go out to a ballgame,come back three and a
half hours later,and they"re still sitting on the sofa?Talking?
     What in the world,Harold wonders,do they have to talk about?
     Betty shrugs.Talk?We"re friends.
     Researching this matter called friendship,psychologist Lilian Rubin spent two years interviewing more
than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age,their job,their sex,the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those
friendships is "marked and unmistakable."
     More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who
could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a
best friend,most trusted person,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危机).
"Most women,"says Rubin,"identified at least one,usually more,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general,"writes Rubin in her new book,"women"s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions
and support,but men"s relationships are marked by shared activities."For the most part,Rubin says,
interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with  the social requirements of
"manly behavior."
    "Even when a man is said to be a best friend,"Robin writes,"the two share little about their innermost
feelings.Whereas a woman"s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it
wasn"t unusual to hear a man say he didn"t know his friend"s marriage was in serious trouble until he
appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."

A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B.women show little interest in ballgames

举一反三

阅读下面短文，根据第1至第3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题
     What are the situations that make you shy? You"re not shy all the time. For example, when you"re with your best friend, you"re probably very open and comfortable being yourself. Shyness is the effect of feeling insecure(不安全). If you can identify what you"re feeling insecure about, you can then take action on it.
     Many of us tend to focus on what we"re not good at, rather than recognize what we are good at. As a
result, we feel awkward around others, because we feel there"s nothing impressive about ourselves. It"s
time to stop selling yourself short and start focusing on your strengths. What are you good at? What are
your past achievements? What are things you"ve done that you are really proud of? Spend some time to
recognize them.
     Many people worry too much about what others think about them. But the funny thing is, it"s just in
your mind. Most people are actually too busy to pay attention to what you"re doing or not doing, so stop
spending time worrying about others" opinion of you.
     Can you think of someone (whether a friend or a famous person) you know who is very confident,
assured and outgoing? Use the person as your role model. Whenever you feel shy, ask yourself what that
person will do/say in this situation. Then, do that. Soon, it becomes second nature to you to behave in that manner.
     Another great way to overcome shyness is to observe how others around you act. Reduce the time
you spend worrying about what others think of you and look outward at how others behave themselves
socially. What do they say? How do they act? What can you learn from them?
1. According to the passage, what is the reason for shyness?  (No more than 3 words)
______________________________________________________
2. How many suggestions are given in the passage?  (No more than 2 words)
______________________________________________________
3. According to the writer, why don"t we need to worry about others" opinion of us? (No more than 15
words)

阅读理解     An idea that started in Seattle"s public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept
is simple:help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the
same time.
      In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all,the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus,as well as promoting reading as an experience to be
shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998.Her original program used author visits,study guides and
book discussion groups to bring people together with a book,but the idea has since expanded to many
other American cities,and even to Hong Kong.
     In Chicago,the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the
first book in the "One Book,One Chicago"program.As a result,reading clubs and neighborhood groups
sprang up around the city.Across the US,stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
     The only problem came up in New York,where local readers could not decide on one book to
represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities
or large towns,where a greater sense of unity can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers missed
the point,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a
book itself.
     Ultimately,as Nancy points out,the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book ,but by how many people are enriched by the process,or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom
they would not otherwise have shared a word.

1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To encourage people to read and share.
C.To involve people in community service.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.

2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A.They were too busy to read a book.
B.They came from many different backgrounds.
C.They had little interest in reading.
D.They lacked support from the local government.

3.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?

A.In large communities with little sense of unity.
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
D.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

4.The underlined words "shared a word"in Paragraph 5 probably mean______.

A.discussed the meaning of a word
BA.exchanged ideas with each other
C.gained life experience D.used the same language

5.According to Nancy,the degree of success of the project is judged by____.

A.the number of people who benefit from reading
B.the careful selection of a proper book
C.the growing popularity of the writers
D.the number of books that each person reads

      Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,"But,Dad,you can"t be healthy if
you"re dead?"
      Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety
belt a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.
     There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty
years ago.The following are three of the most common.
    Myth Number One:It"s best to be"thrown clear"of a serious accident.

where people are"thrown clear."
    Myth Number Two:Safety belts"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
    Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents,People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations,not to be trapped in
them.
     Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).
    Truth:When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

     A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a
disease. Researchers used information from the Framingham Study, which began in 1948. The
Framingham Study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At
first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than
12,000 individuals are taking part.
     Information from the Framingham Study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to
person. So can behaviors like littering and the ability to stop smoking.
     University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers
attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through
social groups.
     Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would
feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A
friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly
be affected by someone"s loneliness.
     The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect
was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness
spread more easily among women than men.
     The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness
about 48 days a year. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five
percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days.
     Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.
     The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by
helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole
social group.
1. What is TRUE about the Framingham Study?
A. It was only conducted in 1948.
B. It involves more than 12,000 participants.
C. It was led by John Cacioppo.
D. It showed that any behavior could spread.
2. Which statement about the spread of loneliness is true?
A. The spreading effect was the second strongest among friends.
B. No spreading effect was found on husbands and wives.
C. Women are more likely to be affected than men.
D. Brothers are more easily affected than neighbors.
3. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Actions should be taken to help lonely people.
B. People feel lonely for many reasons.
C. Ways to fight against loneliness.
D. Lonely people can affect others.
