8．"Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday？"Lindsey whipers to Tori．
    With her eyes shining，Tori brags，"You bet I did，Sean told me two days ago．"
    Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happens to be yours truly，Adam Freedmam，I can tell you that what  they are saying is （a） not nice and （b） not even true．Still，Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton Higt School，including me．Many of our conversations are gossip（闲话）．I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a group．
    An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about．Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups，trouble at home，even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret．The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes．Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie．People often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain．
If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it？Tht answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us．Sharing the latest rumor（传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't．Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the"in group．"In other words，gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（优越感）．
    Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how people should act．Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group．Translated into high school terms，this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention．The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook．
    The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation．The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news，thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your"juicy story"might have．

6．Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries．（36）A In general，they can expect to live six or seven years more than men．One reason for this is biological．
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women．（37）G Between the ages of about 12and 50，women produce hormones that are involved in fertility（生育能力）．These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow．In fact，women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks．
（38）DThey help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections．This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men．The common cold is a good example：women，on average，get fewer colds than men．（39）CScientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging，but they believe that they do．Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency（向） to age more slowly than a man's．Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly．（40）E
