19．I loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters．Looking at the ink bottle，pens and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world．
    Years later，during her final illness，mother kept different things for my sister and brother，"But the desk，"she said again，"is for Elizabeth．"
    I never saw her get angry，and never saw her cry．I knew she loved me，and she showed it in action．But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．
    They never happened and a gulf opened between us．I was"too emotional （易动感情的）"，but she lived"on the surface"．
    As years went by and I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive （原谅） me．
    I posted the letter and waited for her answer．It didn't come．
    It seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to her．
    I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
    Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work，though she had never been able to．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside…a photo of my father and a one-paper letter．Folded （折叠） and refolded many times．
    Give me an answer，my letter asks，in any way you choose．Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．

20．"You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner，but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death，"said Joshua Jackson，an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences．
Published in the journal Psychological Science，the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits．"Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend's personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road，"Jackson said．"It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were，for the most part，healthy and many years from death．"
While other studies have shown that a person's view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks，there has been little research on whether a close friend's personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life．
To explore this question，Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s．The study included wide-ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities，both self-reported and as reported by close friends．
Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates（证书），Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants．Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality．
"There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self-evaluations，"Jackson said．"First，friends may see something that you miss； they may have some insight that you do not．Second，because people have several friends，we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality．With self-reports，people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you，only one self-report．"
The study also shows some gender differences in self-evaluation：Men's self-evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命），whereas the self-reports of women had little predictive value．
"This is one of the longest studies in psychology，"Jackson said．"It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health，and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person's health issues．

52．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？B
A．People's health is related to their friends．
B．Friends can predict lifespans better than us．
C．An early personality evaluation helps us live longer．
D．The study shows most people can live across 75years．
53．The underlined word"insight"in Paragraph 6probably means"D"．
A．advice
B．influence
C．imagination
D．understanding
54．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．People with more close friends have better personalities．
B．Self-evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations．
C．Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women．
D．The findings are based on participants'disease data．
55．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A
A．Friends'personality evaluations can help recognize health risks．
B．Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases．
C．Psychology studies may influence personality development．
D．Personality has little important effect on people's health．
