One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的

29、) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal（人际间的） 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 th

30、an those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression (抑郁症) 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 stress in a number of w

31、ays. 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 (尽管) our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our

32、 problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship ( 同伴) 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 instru

33、mental (手段的) supportmoney aid, material resources, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems. （分数：10.00）(1).Interpersonal relationships are important because they can help us to _ . （分数：2.00）A.live a better lifeB.smooth away daily problemsC.deal with lif

37、wo types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who

38、are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they

39、are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour (使变坏) the pleasure of society, offend(顶撞) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being di

40、sliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habi

41、t. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad

42、temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will j

43、oin to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes

44、very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. （分数：10.00）(1).People who are unhappy _ . （分数：2.00）A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the un

45、pleasant side of certain things(2).The phrase“ sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means“ _ ”. （分数：2.00）A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life(3).We can infer from the passage that _ . （分数：2.00）A.we should pity all such unhapp

46、y peopleB.such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC.unhappy people should and can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD.unhappy people cannot understand happy persons(4).If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _ . （分数：2.00）A.avoid any commun

47、ication with themB.show no respect an politeness to themC.persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes(5).In this passage9 the writer mainly _ . （分数：2.00）A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should
