Loneliness increases a persons risk of death by 26 percent, an effect comparable to the health risks posed by obesity.So some researchers are investigating what it is, exactly, that makes lonely people stay lonely. One longheld theory has been that people become socially isolated because of their poor social skills as they spend more time alone, the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use. But new research suggests that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the socially isolated. Its just that when theyre in situations where they need those skills the most, they choke.Professor Megan L. Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates, showing them 24 faces on a computer screen and asking them to name the basic human emotion each face was showing：anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. In the end, the lonelier students did worse than the nonlonely students on the emotionreading task but only when they were told they were being tested on their social skills. When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test, they performed better than the nonlonely.So the lonelier people are, the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice. Lonely people may be paying closer attention to emotional cues (暗示) precisely because of their willingness to belong somewhere and form interpersonal connections, which results in technically superior social skills.This presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people. Its not that they need to improve the basics of social skills, which theyve likely already shared. Instead, lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads, so they can actually use the skills theyve got to form friendships and begin to find a way out of their isolation.语篇解读：本文是说明文。一项研究表明孤独的人更擅长解读人的情感。1.According to the traditional point of view, why do lonely people stay lonely?AThey are happy to stay alone.BThey are difficult to get along with.CThey have few chances to practice social skills.DThey are likely to misunderstand others opinion.解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段中的“One longheld theory .the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use”可知，传统观点认为，孤独的人之所以孤独是因为他们缺少与人交往的机会，导致社会技能退化。2In the test mentioned in Paragraph 3, the lonely performed better when they_.Afelt not very lonelyBwere under great pressureCwere told it was a test on social skillsDdid not know the real purpose of the test解析：选D细节理解题。由第三段末句“When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test，they performed better than the nonlonely”可知，当孤独的人不知道测试的真实意图时，他们在测试中的表现更好。3Compared to nonlonely people, lonely people_. Acan better control their emotionsBcan better express their emotionsCcan better read peoples emotionsDcan better handle peoples emotions解析：选C推理判断题。由第三段中的实验结果及第四段首句“So the lonelier people are, the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice”可推断，孤独的人更擅长解读人们的情感。4What inspiration may lonely people get from the text?ABe brave to make friends.BShow sincerity in friendship.CFind ways to learn social skills.DMake good use of your lonely time.解析：选A推理判断题。由最后一段中的“lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads, so they can actually use the skills theyve got to form friendships .”可推断，孤独的人应该勇敢地交友。 BNot all awards are as noble as the Nobel Prize, which is worldfamous for giving prizes to people who made progress in literature, science, economics and perhaps most importantly peace. Even though most countries have a system for recognizing, honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things.The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. The awards are not only for films Now there are also Grammies, Brits, the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music. In Britain, a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult, literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with The Da Vinci Code for popularity. The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds, putting animals in glass cases or this year building a garden shed.Awards dont only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it, or to help people who are on tight budget carry on their work without worrying about finances, but professional soccer players these days are_not_shy_of_fund!Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo Da Vinci.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that not only the person who wins the award benefits from it but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicizing not only music, but also MTV itself!On the surface, it seems to be a “winwin” situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?语篇解读：本文作者对种类越来越多的奖项及颁奖庆典提出了自己的疑问和看法。5Why does the writer write Paragraphs 2 and 3?ATo show the importance of giving awards to people.BTo sh
