17.Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family,friends,neighbors,even pets,will all help,but the biggest longevity (长寿) seems to come from marriage.The effect was first noticed in 1858by William Farr,who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than the married people.Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's.The effect can be seen in all causes of death,whether illness,accident or self-harm.
Even if the chances are all against you,marriage can more than compensate you.Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Similarly,a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke.There's a flip side,however,as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their husband or wife's death,and caring for your husband or wife with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.Even so,the chances favor marriage.In a 30-year study of more than 10,000people,Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work?The effects are complicated,affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision,emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms(生理机制).For example,social contact can promote development of the brain and immune system,leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner,children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100.The overall social network is still being mapped out,but Christakis says:"People are inter-connected,so their health is inter-connected."

8.It can be inferred from the context that the"flip side"(Para.2)refers toA.
A.the disadvantages of being married
B.the emotional problems arising from marriage
C.the responsibility of taking care of one's family
D.the consequence of a broken marriage
9.What does the author say about social networks?A
A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.
B.They help develop people's community spirit.
C.They provide timely support for those in need.
D.They help relieve people of their life's burdens.
10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.It's important that we develop a social network when young.
B.To stay healthy,one should have a proper social network.
C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.
D.We should share our social networks with each other.
16.Have you ever been to the Great Wall of China?Originally (61)built (build) on the northern border of the country as a military defense project,it is the longest man-made structure throughout the world,(62)whose influence has been profound in the history of architecture.Due to the limitation of machinery at the time,it was constructed entirely by hand.(63)Dating (date) from as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods,the wall is now a national symbol and a popular tourist attraction.With a (64)length (long) of 6350kilometers,the Great Wall winds its way through mountainous regions and (65)looks (look) really magnificent.
There is no doubt that the Great Wall is a stunning legacy the whole world,not only China,has been left with.In fact,ancient China has also given the world many great (66)inventions (invent).To give an example,Su Song,an eleventh-century monk about (67)whomvery little is known,invented the first real clock.A man named Cai Lun was considered (68)to have made (make) paper from the bark of a tree in about 105AD,and this invention turned out immediately (69)successful (succeed).Printing was also invented in China as early as 868AD,and not until the year 1454AD (70)was the first book printed in Europe.

20.I think of myself as the happiest person whenever I walk into a room and people notice my smile right away.Here are six ways that can help you to be as happy as I am.
1.Let it go.
When someone criticizes you,or says something unkind,Just forget it.(36)E Even when you know the person means it,remember that you become stronger by accepting them for who they are and knowing your capabilities.
2.Be kind and helpful.
People who are mean and feel the need to put others down are insecure about themselves.But when you are kind to others,kindness returns to you.So never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful.
3.(37)D   
When you come up against a problem,whether a person or an event,consider what you will learn from it.I believe Nietzsehe who said,"What doesn‘t kill me makes me stronger''
4.(38)C    
Sure,1 wish I were taller,smarter,and looking better.But I'm not.As soon as I realized that I wasn't going to be the President of the U.S.A.,I figured out what I did want to do in my life:write.
5.Keep in touch with your friends and family.
Your family,in most cases,loves you unconditionally.It's important to keep in touch with them,whether it's a weekly phone call or an annual visit.Friends too help to inspire and support happy people.(39)F   
6.Eat well.
(40)B If you're stuffing yourself with cheeseburgers and hot dogs every day,chances are that you are overweight and you lack energy and mental clarity(清晰).So you should eat enough fruit and vegetables,protein and carbohydrates(含碳水化合物的食物),which can provide you with nutrients and energy.

17.If you've been joining in chat room conversations,or trading e-mail with net pals,you have become one of the millions who write in a special,short form of English.
Throughout the world,every night children and their elders are"talking"online-many of them are talking at the same time.
It's fast:trying talking to six people once.It's convenient:three or four words per exchange.It takes cleverness,concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language.There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation?Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you're talking to?Type A/S/L,the common request to know your pal's age,sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh,say you're OTF (=on the floor),or LOL (=laughing out loud),or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed,you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible,and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust,except when expressing feeling,as it takes more time to hold down the"shift"key and use capitals.Punctuation (标点) is going too.

24.When people are online,they talk byD.
A.using body language     
B.drawing some strange pictures
C.making phone calls      
D.making use of an especially short form of English

18.As a Fulbright(富布莱特法案基金)scholar at Yale,I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors,but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside.At first,I was too polite to get their help.Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society.I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted.I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor,asking questions and dominating the discussion.The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class.The professor didn't act as an authority,giving final conclusions,but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students.One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai.When answering questions,he usually said:"this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day."Or,"You may find the book I recommended helpful."Or,"You could be right,but you might find this point of view also interesting."When making comments on students'performances,the professor usually said:"It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester."
In China,authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions.Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question.I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer.Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students.Once the Chinese students got the answer,they were sure about it.That is why they make far more certain statement than American students.That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.

1.The American professors use many modal verbs because they want toD.
A.argue with their students
B.be more sure about their answers
C.express their ideas more clearly
D.develop their students'own way of thinking
2.Which of the following statements best expresses the author's idea?D
A.Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.
B.American professors are not responsible since they don't give students answers.
C.American education produces aggressive students.
D.Education in China is not helpful in developing students'creativity.
3.Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A
A.Comparison and contrast.
B.Cause and effect.
C.Giving examples.
D.Description.
4.What is the author's attitude towards education in U.S.?C
A.Positive 
B.Negative
C.Neutral
D.Unsure.
