Loneliness is like a disease, and what's worse, it's contagious．It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one person's emotions to affect even people he doesn’t know．
The new analysis, involving 4,793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52％ more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview．A friend of that person was 25％ more likely, and a friend of a friend of a friend was 15％ more likely．
“Loneliness is not just the property of an individual．It can be transmitted across people—even people you don't have direct contact with,” said John T．Cacioppo, a psychologist of the University of Chicago who led the study published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology．
Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health．Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said．
Although the study did not examine how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues．“Let's say for whatever reason you get lonely．You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion．That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion and they minimize their social ties and become lonely,” Cacioppo said．
According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions．
Lonely people become less and less trusting others．This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends－and more likely that society will reject them．Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness．Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks．
1. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.
A. Loneliness is actually a kind of disease．
B. More and more people are suffering from loneliness.
C. Loneliness spreads in social networks．
D. Emotions are only transmitted between friends.
2.According to Cacioppo, lonely people________．
A. will probably be deserted by society
B. are more likely to trust others
C. are less likely to be rejected by friends
D. rely heavily on others
3.The word “minimize” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. increase B. keep
C. create D. reduce
4.Which should lonely people do to get rid of loneliness?
A. Refuse the help given by others.
B. Admit and try to solve it.
C. Interact with others more negatively.
D. Express emotions more often.

The origins of the apple tree are in Asia. We know that 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient Jericho, a city near the Jordan River. In some parts of the ancient world apples could only be afforded by royalty (王室成员) and their courts, and were a popular dessert as long ago as 4,500 years. Now the apple is the most popular fruit in the world.
You probably know that there’s a tradition for students to bring shiny apples to their favorite teachers. But why?
No one knows for sure. The idea of "an apple for the teacher" has been with us since the late 1800s. Perhaps the custom grew out of the fact that apples are ripe (成熟的) in September, when the school year usually begins. In earlier times, students, particularly those in rural areas, could pick apples from trees on their way to school. They were easy gifts for children to give.
However, the lovely practice took on a dark note if the other children thought the gift-giver was trying to buy the teacher into giving him or her better grades. "Apple polisher" came to mean someone who tries to please a superior (上级) in return for special treatment. It was a popular college slang (俚语) term in the 1920s, but the term isn’t used much any more.
It’s true that apples can be very attractive. The apple is America’s favorite fruit, as shown in the phrase, "as American as Mom and apple pie".
After all, who ever says, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away" or "You’re the banana of my eye"? And who brings a banana to his or her teacher? Nobody.
1.What do we learn about the apple from the passage?
A. It has been popular worldwide since 8,500 years ago.
B. It has been a popular dessert for about 4,500 years.
C. The origins of the apple tree are in America.
D. Everyone could enjoy this fruit in the ancient world.
2.Why did students give their teachers apples?
A. Apples were ripe when the school year began.
B. Apples were the most popular fruit.
C Apples were expensive enough as gifts.
D. Teachers liked to get apples from students.
3.Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase "apple polisher"?
A. It is used to praise someone for his / her performance.
B. It is still as popular nowadays as before.
C. It may mean something good or bad, depending on the situation.
D. It refers to someone who wants to please a leader.
4.What do we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Apples are related to mothers in America.
B .Apple is a popular word, and used in many phrases.
C. Apples are attractive because of many stories.
D. Nobody wants to use the word banana.

How to control embarrassing moments
Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into air. Good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum. Here’s some help.
1.
You are staring at a handsome boy so hard that you walk into a wall. You dropped all your books. The best thing you can do? If you’re not hurt seriously, laugh it off. Say like “Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!” By laughing at yourself, you show people you’re confident and still in control of the situation.
2.
Some situations are not suitable for laughing off. Your underwear falls out of your backpack. You pass gas while giving a speech. Making a joke would call more attention to what happened. What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go on what you were doing, or you can say “Oh, that was awkward” and then move on.
3.
Some embarrassing situations may embarrass yourself and make someone else feel bad. You imitate (模仿) your teacher’s accent just as the teacher walks in. Making a joke or running away won’t make you look better. Instead, apologize, “I’m so sorry about that.” It may make things right again.
A. Apologize
B. Move on
C. Laugh it off
D. Run away
