12．It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation，it turns into an argument．We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly，my mother will push the conversation into World War III．She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor．And much to her disappointment，I don't want to do any job related to science，either．In fact，w hen I was pushed to say that I planned to major（主修） in English and communications，she nearly had a heart attack．"Why can't you be like my co-worker's son？"shebemoansall the time．Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer．I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr．Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son．I can't be like him．I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community，write until the sun goes down，and most of all，wants to achieve a career because I love it，not because of fame （名声） or salary．
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major．I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours．She leaves the house around 630 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm．However，I want her to know that by becoming a doctor，it doesn't mean I'll be successful．I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future．

分析 这篇短文说的是"我"和我的母亲在我的职业选择上发生了分歧，以至于两人经常发生争吵．母亲想让我学习医学，成为一名医生，但是"我"并不喜欢当医生．"我"很理解母亲的想法，但是也不想放弃自己的梦想．
解答 32---35 BACD

点评 阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序．因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when，where，who，why，what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素．毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件．

Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．Our（41）CD of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions．Social support consists of the （42）A of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with （43）C support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily problems．People with strong social ties live （44）BD and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from（45）AB to heart disease，reveal that the presence of social support helps people fight off illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．
Social support reduces stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and coworkers may let us know that they （46）D us．Our self-respect is （47）AC when we feel （48）AD by others despite 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（49）B．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support----financial aid，material resources，and needed services----that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems．

4．A young person is said to have a behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeably different from that expected in the school or community．This can also be stated in simpler terms as a child who is not doing what adults want him to do at a particular time．Children with this disorder often seem to be behaving in different and socially unacceptable ways．
Like learning disabilities，behavior disorders are hard to diagnose．There are no physical symptoms in the body that are observable or measurable．Behavior disorders are therefore identified by observing behavior patterns in the child over a period of time．If a child displays some of the following behaviors，he may be labeled with a behavior disorder：
◆Aggression and cruelty to people and animals．
◆Destruction of property-defacing or damaging things．
◆Little sympathy and concern for others．
◆Takes no responsibility for behavior．Also lies，cheats and steals easily．
◆Disregards rules and regulations．
In addition to these general symptoms of a behavior disorder，there are other symptoms characteristic of more specific behavior disorders such as ADHD-this is the inattentive，can't-sit-still behavior．The attention can't last long and the behavior is impulsive at times．The child also seems quite distracted and forgetful．
Behavior disorders come from brain injury，child abuse，and shock，etc．There have also been indications that it could be a genetic disorder．The behavior therefore is an involuntary response to these experiences and the child should not be blamed for his behavior．Since the child has problems controlling his behavior，it stands to reason that his performance in school will be affected．A child with a behavior disorder will feel bad about himself and that low self-esteem will be further worsened by the adults around him who do not treat his condition with understanding and willingness to help．
Behavior disorders are best dealt with by behavior and psychological treatments．But，as with learning disabilities，accurate diagnosis is important and this must be over a length of time．It is also important in trying to modify the behavior to be clear about what is the behavior you are expecting．Make sure it is a rational expectation．For example，expecting a three-year-old to sit quietly through a long church service may not be reasonable，or demanding that a six-year-old does extra home work after a long day of school and extra curricular activities may be stretching the child's concentration and attention too far．Since some behavior disorders result from shocking and upsetting life experiences or brain injury，treatments should include helping the child to resolve and heal emotionally from the experience．The behavior could be corrected through emotional healing．In other words，when a human being is emotionally healthy，that is，can be aware of his intelligence and enthusiasm for life and his loving connectedness to other human beings，he automatically"behaves"rationally．
