10.While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures,the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal.In American contemporary society,adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society.Changes in the workplace separated children from adults,with adults working and children attending school.The dramatic increase of mothers in the  workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults.School reform efforts during the nineteenth century,which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades,have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.Finally,the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture.From 1955 to 1975,the adolescent population increased  dramatically,from 11 percent to 20.9 percent.This increase in the number of adolescents might  be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers.Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents'daily activities and found that they spend  more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity.In a typical week,high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults.This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence.In sixth grade,adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks.Another important characteristic of  adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function.While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents,adolescent peer groups typically  make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.

81."This pattern of age segregation"refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves fromyounger children and adults
82.Besides changes in the workplace,school reform efforts and the changes in populationare the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.
83.When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?In early adolescence.

11.Want to add some hours to your day?Ok,you probably can't change the fabric of time.But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed.
In a series of experiments,Jordan Etkin,a professor of marketing at Duke,and her co-authors,Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker,looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another.In one,they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict,and others simply to list two of their goals.Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who weren't.In another experiment,the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict,but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time.They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didn't,and that this,in turn,led to feelings of being short on time.
"Stress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts,"D.Etkin explained."When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals,that manifests as a sense of having less time."
Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict,she said.
"I think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time,"
She  said"the more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals."
She isn't the first to suggest that actual busyness isn't the only thing that can make us Feel busy  At the Atlantic,Derek Thompson wrote that"as a country,we're working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s."He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked,including"the fluidness ffl±) of work and leisure."As he put it:
"The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong.On the one hand,flexibility is nice,On the other,mixing work and leisure together creates an always-on expectation that makes it hard for white-collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities."
And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed:How to Work,Love,and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believe"time has no sharp edges.What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time,they have found,is how we feel about it.Our concept of time is indeed,our reality."
Fortunately,Dr.Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about time-or,at least,of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict.When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety,the impact of such conflict o n their perception of time was less pronounced.Reframing anxiety as excitement (by reading the phrase"I am excited!"aloud several times) had a similar effect.
Breathing and reframing may not solve everyone's time problems-Ms.Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to.She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and C aroline Hanley,who have"found that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970.That's 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family.And that's on top of all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together."Sometimes,we may feel short on time because we actually are.However,Dr.Etkin believes her findings suggest we may"have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do."
"We're all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others,"she said.But with techniques like the ones her team tested,"we really can help ourselves feel like we have more time."

11.根据短文内容,从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.选项中有一项为多余选项.

A.Try your best to get rid of shyness
B.Think of some conversation starters
C.Give yourself a chance to communicate
D.Start conversations with familiar people
E.Develop your confidence
F.Practise what to say in advance
61.D
Some people want to feel less shy so that they can have more fun socializing and being them-selves around others. Practise social behaviors like eye contact,confident body language,introductions,small talk,asking questions,and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.Then branch out to do this with new friends and strangers,too.
62.B
Often the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started.Think of some topics,like
introducing yourself"Hi,I'm Chris.We are in the same English class",giving a comment"That jacket looks great on you",or asking a question"Do you know when our report is due?"Being ready with a conversation starter or a few makes it easier to approach someone else.
63.
When you're ready to try something you've been avoiding because of shyness-like a phone call or a conversation,write down what you want to say beforehand.Read it loudly,maybe even in front of the mirror.Then just do it.Don't worry about if it's not exactly like you practiced or if it's not perfect.Be proud that you gave it a go.Next time,it'll be even better because it will be easier.
64.C
Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself an opportunity to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.Worries and feelings like these can keep you away from others.
65.E
Because shy people can be overly concerned with other people's reactions,they don't want to rock the boat.That doesn't mean they're cautious.But it can mean they are less likely to be confident.Being confident means speaking up for yourself when you should,asking what you want or need,or telling other people when they're stepping on your toes.
