Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the " shoulders" he's standing on,the heritage (遗产，继承物) he's been given. That's what happened when a young man,the son of a star baseball player,was drafted by one of the minor league teams. As hard as he tried,his first season was disappointing,and by midseason he expected to be released any day.

The coaches were bewildered (迷惑) by his failure because he possessed all the characteris?tics of a superb athlete,but he couldn't seem to incorporate (组合) those advantages into a coor?dinated (协调的) effort. He seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.

His future seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter's box again and quickly ran up two strikes. The catcher called a timeout and trotted to the pitcher's mound for a conference. While they were busy,the um?pire,standing behind the plate,spoke casually to the boy.

Then play resumed (重新恢复) ，the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning point. From then on,he played the game with a new con?fidence and power that quickly drew the attention of the parent team,and he was called up to the majors.

On the day he was leaving for the city,one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied that it was the encouraging remark the umpire had made that day when his baseball career had seemed doomed.

"He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood behind my dad in the batter's box," the boy explained. "He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he told me, 'I can see his genes in you; you have your father's arms.，After that,whenever I swung the bat,I just imagined I was using Dad's arms instead of my own."

10. As for me, our national economy,all these problems will certainly be solved step by step (with)

至于我，我相信，随着我国经济的发展，这些问题必将逐步解决。

When we were seniors,we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown,and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends,that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor,and I was going for business on a football scholar?ship. Kyle was valedictorian (致告别辞的人) of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd (书呆子) .He had to prepare a speech for gradu?ation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived ― I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him！

Boy,sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So,I smacked (拍打) him on the back and said, "Hey,big guy,you'll be great！"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech,he cleared his throat,and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents,your teachers,your siblings (兄弟姐妹) ，maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." .

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. " Thankfully,I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeaka?ble."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome,popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate (对.... 估计不足) the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

Expensive：The cost of finding love is,on average,two inner circle friends,scientists have found.

Ever found yourself dumped (度弃的) by a friend embarking (着手，开始做) on a romance? Don't worry,you're probably not the only one. For according to Oxford University scientists,every time we start a relationship we jettison (抛弃，丢弃) two of our closest friends.

Most of us simply don't have enough time for intimate (密切的) friendships with more than four or five people,their research shows.

And a new love interest leads to two friends being pushed out of the inner circle.

Professor Robin Dunbar,one of Britain's leading experts in evolutionary biology,ex?plained："If you go into a romantic relationship it actually costs you two friends in that inner core of relationships."

"Instead of having the typical five friends,they only have four in that inner circle. And bearing in mind that one of those is the new person that has come into your life,it means you have to give up two others."

Men tend to have four or five intimate friends,women five or six,he said.

However,men were just as likely to jettison friends at the start of a new romantic attach?ment (情感) as women,found the study of those aged 18 to 60.

"Your attention is so wholly focused on the romantic partners,you just don't get to see the other folks you had a lot to do with before”，the professor told the British Science Festival in Birmingham. " Those relationships start to deteriorate."

But it's not just romance that can push out close friends,he explained. Children or buying a dog can have the same effect.

"You can only have five slots (位置) for deeply intense and meaningful relations. Those in?dividuals don't have to be human. They can be your dog or your favourite chrysanthemum (菊花) plant. They can be people in an entirely fictional world,they can be soap opera characters. They can be God or they can be saints."

( ) 5. Which of these behaviors can't we jettison our cldse friends?

A. Giving a birth to a baby. B. Planting some flowers.

C. Raising a puppy. D. Living the normal life.

( ) 6. What does the underlined sentence really mean?

A. Men,as well as women,are likely to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

B. Men but not women are likely to push out close friends at very beginning of a new romance.

C. Women don't do like man to push out close friends when starting a new romance.

D. Both men and women are not likely to behave the same.

( ) 7. According to the context,guess the meaning of the underlined word "deteriorate".

A. Grow worse. B. Become better. C. Go upward. D. Turn down.

( ) 8. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Only with humans can one maintain deeply intense and meaningful relations.

B. Dogs and planting some chrysanthemum can't make one push out close friends.

C. Limited slots for deep relations and easy to be occupied.

D. The more slots you have,the more intense and meaningful relations you get.
