题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal(人与人之间的) relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions(缓和) 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 in spite of 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. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.

2.The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.
A．people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer

C．those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people
D．those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now
4.This passage is mainly about __________.

I was no one special in Miss Roberts' class.I don't remember any one special bit of wisdom she passed on.Yet I cannot forget her respect for language,for ideas and for her students.I realize now,many years later,that she is a selfless teacher.I'd like to say something to her,but I don't want to pull her from a class.
The drama teacher brings Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18.“I'm Mark Medoff,”I tell her.“You were my 12th grade English teacher in 1981.”She raises her head,as if this angle(角度) might bring back her memory.And then,though armed with a message I want to deliver in some perfect words,I can't think up anything more memorable than this,“I want you to know,”I say,“you were important to me.”
And there in the hallway,this slight and lovely woman,now nearing a retirement age, this teacher who doesn't remember me,begins to weep;she holds me in her arms.
Remembering this moment,I began to sense that everything I will ever know,everything I will ever pass on to my students,to my children,is an inseparable part of a treasure of our shared wonder and hope that we can,must,make ourselves better.
Irene Roberts holds me in her arms and through her tears whispers against my cheek,“Thank you.”And then,with a quick look into my forgotten face,she disappears back into her classroom,returns to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my absence.
On reflection,maybe those were,after all,just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers I carry through my life as part of me,the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student:“I want you to know you were important to me.”

Home Alone 4Starring French Stewart , Mike Weinberg , Missi Pyle , Barbara Babcock , Jason Beghe , Claire Carey and Joanna Going.
Christmas this year looks gloomy to Kevin. His parents have separated, and he decides without careful thinking to spend the holidays with his dad, Peter, and his dad's rich girlfriend, Natalie. Natalie lives in an unusual mansion- a “smart house” in which almost everything reacts to remote commands: doors open and close at will , the chandelier （吊灯） rises and lowers , a swinging bookcase leads to a secret bar , etc. . Even better , the serious butler （男管家） , Prescott , and sweet housekeeper, Molly, are at Kevin's beck and call. But just as Kevin settles into his wonderful surroundings , Peter and Natalie leave to pick up some royal houseguests at the airport , including an 11-year-old crown prince.
In their absence , the snaky Marv and Vera break in , intending to kidnap （绑架） the crown prince. But they didn't realize they'd be facing off with Kevin instead and, while it may not be his house , he still has to protect it. With the help of the house's high-tech. magics , Kevin repeatedly prevents them by turning the tables （ and the swinging bookcases, shower jest and chandelier） on them. All the funny characters build to a cheerful Christmas Day result in which everyone gets into the action during an unexpected reunion between Kevin and his parents, Natalie and the royal family.
