bone evening a few years ago i found myself in anxiety. nothing was really wrong my family and i were healthy, my career was busy and successful i was just feeling down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let me shout until the clouds lifted. i dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in california, and got her voicemail. thats when it started to dawn on me loneliness was at the root of my sadness. my social life had lessened to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment id been too busy to notice. now it hit me hard. my old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on ones health. so i resolved to acquire new friends women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as i did. since id be making friends with more intention than id ever given the process, i realized i could be selective, that i could in effect design my own social life. the down side, of course, was that i felt pretty frightened.after all, its a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife than it is when youre younger a fact women ive spoken with point out again and again. as leslie danzig, 41, a chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when youre in your teens and 20s, youre more or less friends with everyone unless theres a reason not to be. your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. now there needs to be a reason to be friends. “there are many people im comfortable around, but i wouldnt go so far as to call them friends. comfort isnt enough to maintain a real friendship,” danzig says.at first, finding new companions felt awkward. at 40 i couldnt run up to people the way my 4-year-old daughters do on the playground and ask, “will you be my friend? every time you start a new relationship, youre vulnerable again,” agrees kathleen hall, d min, founder and ceo of the stress institute, in atlanta. “youre asking, would you like to come into my life? it makes us self-conscious.”fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. i realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. if someone didnt take me up on my offer, so what: i wasnt in junior high, when i might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. at my age i have gathered enough self-esteem to realize that i have plenty to offer.a new friend, chosen right, can help you turn over a new leaf and point your boat in the direction you want to go. hanna dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in los angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. in addition to liking and respecting julia, dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.while youre busy making new friends, remember that you still need to care for your old ones. we asked marla paul, author of the friendship crisis, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. keep in touch. your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. know her business. keep track of important events in a friends life and show your support. call or e-mail to let her know youre thinking of her. speak your mind. tell a friend (politely) if something she did really upset you. if you cant be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. accept her flaws. no one is perfect, so work around her quirks shes often late, or shes a bit negative to cut down on frustration and fights. boost her ego. heartfelt praises make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.59. what is the major function of the first paragraph?a. to summarize the whole passage.b. to introduce the topic of the passage.c. to tell the readers why we need friends.d. to inform the readers of what the author is.60. leslie danzig thinks making friends at ones middle age _.a. is easier than that at a young age b. needs some reasonsc. makes others feel comfortable d. isnt a real friendship61. according to the passage, with newly made friends, you can have a chance to _.a. take on a new look in your life b. get rid of your bad habitsc. contact with more old friends d. gather enough self-esteem62. what can be the best title of the passage?a. a mature friend seekerchoosing right friendsb. a well-chosen friendhelping gather enough self-esteemc. comfortable friendshipcutting down on frustrationd. the art of friendshipmaking friends in middlecthe term “industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. the first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolutionthe use of electronics and it in production. industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing. the basic principle of industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. the goal is the smart factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. technological basis are the internet systems and advanced factories. experts believe that industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.so, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? according to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. but in the time of industry 4.0, the boundaries of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.how is an industry 4.0 factory different from a todays factory? in current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. in the time of industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. the sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.the good news is that europe is much better prepared for the industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the german government. meanwhile, in the u.s., some companies are also working hard on it. but the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. its not only politics that needs to help open the door for industry 4.0. every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities. 63. what marks the coming of industry 4.0? a. steam engines. b. mass production.c. use of electronics. d. intelligent networks.64. industry 4.0 will probably result in _ in the world of manufacturing. a. production limited to an individual factory b. everything connected with everything else c. networks and processes no longer existingd. classic factories stopping their competition65. whats the meaning of the underlined part in para. 4? a. sharing information of the world time.b. global news broadcast at any time. c. instant worldwide information exchange.d. spreading news widely on the hour. 66. according to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing industry 4.0? a. the european companies.b. the american government. c. the american companies.d. the german government.dking learpart 3narrator: as soon as goneril has got all she
