Empathy Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. 51 Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.

Jennifer Freed,a co-director of a teen program,has another explanation. Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect. 52 There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature.

53 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.

Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 54 “Academicsareimpor- tant. But if you don't have emotionaK情感的) intelligence,you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life ,” she says.

What's the best way to up your EQ(情商) ?

For starters,let down your guard and really listen to others. 55 To really develop empathy,youM better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital,join a club or a team that has a diverse membership,have a “sharing circle” with your family,or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

   A. Everyone is different,and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

   B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said.

   C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking”’Freed says.

   D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

   E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else —both what they think and how they feel.

   F. Good social skills —including empathy are a kind of emotional intelligencethat will help you succeed in many areas of life.

   G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human -and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the worlds first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.

The car is made mainly of renewable materials,like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel (方向盘) is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.

The new racing car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred and fifteen kilometres an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometres an hour in just two and a half seconds. The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel(生物柴油) engine.

Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment. Racing cars burn a lot of fuel,and create a lot of air pollution. In recent years,the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment. More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy. These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel,like gasoline.

Last month,the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three. Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete. Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers,so the new racing car didn't appear in the event. In test runs,the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.

51. What's the second paragraph mainly about?

   A. What materials the new racing car is made of.

   B. Why researchers built the new racing car.

   C. The characteristics of the new racing car.

   D. The process of the new racing car being designed.

52. According to the passage,the of the new racing car doesn’t meet the Formula Three racing requirements.

   A. speed   B. appearance

   C. weight   D. engine

53. It can be inferred from the passage that .

   A. the new racing car is the first environmentally friendly car

   B. automobile racing could be forbidden in the near future

   C. many people like to watch automobile racing

   D. the new racing car will be allowed to compete in the next season of Formula Three racing

54. In recent years,racing companies are producing cars that.

   A. burn more fuel

   B. go more quickly

   C. produce less pollution

   D. cost less money

55. Why didn't the new racing car compete at the Formula Three Championship Final last month?

   A. Because the new racing car still needs testing.

   B. Because officials needed each racer's permission

 but failed to contact one.

   C. Because there?re some technical problems to be solved.

   D. Because few drivers think it is fast enough.

I helped a friend in need last week. I helped her by explaining something we don't learn in school,but something we learn after years of experience.

When she came to see me,my friend was visibly upset about having to ask for help. I,on the other hand,was honoured that such an intelligent young lady would ask me for my opinion and help. Telling her how much I appreciated her confidence in me did not seem to make her feel better at all.

I was struck at the irony (讽刺) of the situation. This lady is one of the most giving people I know. She never hesitate (犹豫) to help others,but clearly having to ask someone else to help her makes her very uncomfortable.

Why? Why is asking for help so difficult? Why are we so gracious about offering help to others,but not about giving someone else the opportunity to help us?

I did a little soul searching after this experience and realised that most of my success has come from others helping me when I needed it. Sure,being hardworking,stubborn and occasionally smart has something to do with it,but the fact is that I could not have made it this far without some serious help from others.

Today,I am just as likely to ask for help as I am to give help. Both make me feel good. It's rewarding to help others and I want to grab every chance I can to do that. And unlike in my younger days,I am more at ease in asking for help. I know it makes others feel good and I get new insight into whatever challenge I'm struggling with.

I hope my friend continues to become more comfortable at asking for help and to give help every chance she gets.
