have psychological(心理的) benefits for teens suffering from social anxiety, improving their self-esteem and helping them relate better to their friends, according to the new research published by the american psychological association. research has shown that writing a personal diary and other forms of expressive writing are a great way to release emotional stress and just feel better, said the studys lead author, meyran boniel-nissim, phd, of the university of haifa, israel. teens are online anyway, so blogging enables free expression and easy communication with others.blogging has a stronger positive effect on troubled students well-being than merely expressing their social anxieties and concerns in a private diary, according to the article published online in the apa journal psychological services. opening the blog up to comments from the online community strengthens those effects.the researchers randomly surveyed high school students in israel, who had agreed to fill out a questionnaire about their feelings on the quality of their social relationships. a total of 161 students - 124 girls and 37 boys, with an average age of 15 - were selected because their scores on the survey showed they all had some level of social anxiety or stress. all the teens reported difficulty in making friends or relating to the friends they had. the researchers assessed the teens self-esteem, everyday social activities and behaviors before, immediately after and two months after the 10-week experiment.four groups of students were assigned to blog. two of those groups were told to focus their posts on their social problems, with one group opening the posts to comments; the other two groups could write about whatever they wanted and, again, one group opened the blog up to comments. the number and content of comments were not evaluated for this experiment. the students could respond to comments but that was not required. two more groups acted as controls - either writing a private diary about their social problems or doing nothing. participants in the writing and blogging groups were told to post messages at least twice a week for 10 weeks.four experts, who held masters or doctors degrees in consulting and psychology, assessed the bloggers social and emotional condition via their blog posts. students were assessed as having a poor social and emotional state if they wrote a lot about personal problems or bad relationships or showed evidence of low self-esteem.self-esteem, social anxiety, emotional stress and the number of positive social behaviors improved significantly for the bloggers when compared to the teens who did nothing and those who wrote private diaries. bloggers who were instructed to write specifically about their difficulties and whose blogs were open to comments improved the most. all of these results agreed with the two- month follow-up.the authors admitted that the skewed（有偏向的） sex rate was a limitation to the study. however, the researchers analyzed the results separately by gender and found that boys and girls reacted similarly to the experiment and there were no major differences. however, they said future research should attempt to control the subjects sex.46. theselectionofstudentsfortheexperimentwaslargelybasedon_. a. theirsocialrelationships b. theirself-esteem c. theirproblemsinsociallife d.

(or heavenly palace) space module（舱） is the first step toward chinas plan to build a space station around 2020. its launch by china has upset some countries, which are asking why china did not add on to the international space station that has been in place since 1998. after all, the americans, russians, europeans and japanese are using one platform to experiment in space. questions have also been asked about chinas ultimate purpose in space and suggestions made that there is something as unpleasant as the theme in a james bond movie, in which chinese-looking enemies were at the root of some evil plot to control the world. chinese dont see themselves that way, and never in history have they been flag-planting colonialists. most westerners are schooled in the exploits of the great european explorers, headed by christopher columbus and james cook, and followed closely by the groups of culture egotists(自大者) with a mix of guns, gold and the bible in their hands. in contrast, zheng he, the great chinese navigator, took fleets to africa and the middle east to promote goodwill, with gifts of chinaware and art. no flags claiming possession of distant colonies. but this is strange to western society. in this century, it is clear that space cannot be claimed by one nation. yet advantage of technology in space does seem to be on some minds. former us president ronald reagan caused shocks and worries with his ambitious star wars program. so when china shot down its own satellite as a test in january 2010 there were anxieties in the west about star wars-like scenario(剧本) becoming reality in the near future.50. the launch of tiangong-1_. a. is appreciated by countries like the usa and japan b. will bring trouble to the western countries in space c. is part of chinas plan to set up a station in space d. will help china be a member of the space station51. it is most probable that the us, russia, europe and japan_. a. are competing against one another in space wars b. feel anxious about chinas setting up a space station c. are cooperating to compete against china in space d. have warned the world of chinas final purpose52. the author of the passage mentions zheng he_. a. to tell people china will never be enemies of world peace b. to compare him to the great european explorers like columbus c. to indicate that he is the pride of the chinese people d. to show that the chinese people are as great as other peoples53. from the last paragraph, we can infer that_. a. chinas shooting down its satellite made the scenario become reality b. some countries are trying to be ahead of the others in space exploration c. china will be in control of the world if she starts space exploration d. if a nation has a better technology in space, it will start a star warca yoga master made a shocking statement that abraham lincoln had been a himalayan yogi in a past lifelincoln delivered a proclamation setting up thanksgiving as an american holiday in 1863research throws light on a possible hindu （印度的）origin for the american celebration of thanksgivingthe holiday of thanksgiving has a hindu origin, says richard salva, author of a book on the reincarnation （转世）of abraham lincoln entitled soul journey ： from lincoln to lindbergh which is based on a statement by the great master of yoga, paramhamsa yogananda， who declared that abraham lincoln had been a himalayan yogi in a past life, and that he was reborn as the famous pilot, charles lindbergh“during my search for signs of a past-life yoga practice,” saiva said, “i noticed that president lincoln repeatedly chose thursdays as national days of prayer, fasting （禁食），and thanksgivingthis was interesting, because thursday is considered a holy day a day for prayer, fasting, and spiritual reflection among hindus, who call itguru day”“ lincoln also set aside time on thursdays to grieve for his son，willie, who died in washingtonclearly, thursdays had a spiritual significance in lincolns mind”in his book, richard salva presents more than 500 connections between lincoln, lindergh, and the ancient spiritual science of yogathe connections run through every aspect of the human condition and provide convincing evidence that lincoln had had a hindu past life.more than one out of every five americans today believes in reincarnationyet few are aware of how past-life patterns affect themsoul journey tries to fill this gap, by offering a substitute experience of reincarnationthrough clear and persuasive similarities between the lives of lincoln and lindbergh, the book discovers how the hidden laws of fate and reincarnation impact the events of his or her daily lifeit addresses other issues, such as the secret spiritual history of americas greatest president, including his past life as a himalayan yogi; the hidden clues that reveal past lives； the greatness he achieved； and the spiritual principles behind the yoga postures that millions now practice54. basedonrichardsalvasview,_. a.
