beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.one strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions.social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.people with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.studies over types of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illnesses，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.social support cushions stress in a number of ways.first，friends，relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us.our selfrespect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.second，other people often provide us with informational support.they help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.third，we typically find social companionship supportive.taking part in freetime activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.finally，other people may give us instrumental supportmoney aid，material resources，and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.56interpersonal relationships are important because they can _.amake people live more

had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.it occurred at first that i did not recognize the handwriting，and then i realized whose it must be.i finally became aware of the fact that i had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet i did not recognize her handwriting at that point.it was a very important event in the computerization of lifea sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messaging and emails.there was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.as a child visiting my fathers office，i was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting i would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridgeexcept that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “rfw”all this has been on my mind because of the talk about the rise and fall of handwriting，a book by florey.she shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age cant be expected to learn to hold a pen.i dont buy it.i dont want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.for many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.what some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16thcentury italy.that may sound impossibly grandas if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.however，they have worked in many school systems.60why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleagues handwriting?ahe had worked with his colleague long enough.bhis colleagues handwriting was so beautiful.chis colleagues handwriting was so terrible.dhe still had a lot of work to do.61people working together in an office used to _.atalk more about handwritingbtake more notes on workdayscknow better one anothers handwritingdcommunicate better with one another62the authors father wrote notes in pen _.ato both his family and his staffbto his family in small letterscto his family on the fridgedto his staff on the desks63according to the author，handwritten notes _.aare harder to teach in schoolsbattract more attentioncare used only between friendsdcarry more messagecthe tang dynasty was probably the period when the silk road was at its busiest.one important center on the road was the city of chang an，where present day xian now stands.changan was the capital city of this dynasty and by about 750 ad it had become a strong and successful capital of around two million people.because of the chances for trade，a number of foreigners from countries bordering china lived in the city.the markets at this time in changan were perhaps the most exciting markets anywhere in the world.they sold goods from india，africa，japan，korea，turkey，iran and other arab countries and many items in the markets would have been completely new to some of the buyers.interesting animals were sold together with exotic(奇异的) plants and strange medicines.dried animals，dried foods and dried plants were laid out for sale next to rare seeds and spices.but besides the hope to trade，which drew people together，china was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world and certainly the secret of the silk making was still unknown.the route to the west followed different paths but the traders would have traveled from places to places，always looking for routes both to water and protective.however，the ming dynasty had its policy of isolation(闭关)，together with the growth of islam(伊斯兰)，reduced the traffic along this ancient land route.instead，sea routes became more popular and in the early 15th century there were many chinese ships trading silk and other goods along the coasts of india，arabia and africa.64according to this passage，we can know the silk road _.aonly refers to the one through the desertbran not only by land but also by seacstarted just from changandbegan in the tang dynasty for the first time65this passage mainly wants to tell us _.athe silk trade in the pastbthe rise and fall of the silk roadcthe hard life the traders on the silk roaddwhy sea routes became popular in the early 15th century66according to the passage，people at that time would buy all the following objects on the markets in chang an except _.adried food banimalscships dstrange medicines67by saying “china was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world”，the author refers to the fact that _ mean.aa large part of china was mysterious to the outside worldbchina was a large country that was totally unknown to the outside worldcto a great extent china was little known or understood by the outside worlddmost of china was misunderstood by the outside worlddpierre is a 25yearold penguin at the california academy of sciences.due to his old age，he was going bald，which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.therefore，biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.unlike marine mammals，which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm，penguins depend on their waterproof feathers.without them，pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.“he was cold；he would shake，” said pam schaller，a senior biologist.schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep pierre warm.then she got another idea：if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold pacific，why not make one for pierre?schaller designed the suit，which covered pierres body and had small openings for his flippers.“i would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps，and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable，” she said.one concern was that the other penguins would reject pierre in his new suit，but in fact，they accepted his new look.he swam freely and got along with others well，although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.schaller couldnt say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed pierre to recover his fine feathers，but certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable.pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.68pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of _.anot having a layer of blubberbhaving few feathers due to old agechaving no wetsuitdother penguins rejecting him69the idea of making a wetsuit for pierre came from _.atotal inventionbthe use of wetsuits on humanscthe use of heat lampdwaterproof feathers70schaller followed pierre in order to see _.awhether other penguins would reject

new book by nutritionist zoe harcombe.in the book, harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固) dietary adviceand her myth(误区)breaking conclusions are surprising.myth：_72_.“real fat is not bad for us，”says harcombe.“its manmade fats we should be demonising.”why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? in a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.myth: we should eat more fibre.for three decades, we have eaten fibre into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.“_73_”， says harcombe.the advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems.but essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines (肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? concentrate on not putting bad foods in.myth: you need to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day.“fiveaday is the most wellknown piece of nutritional advice，” says harcombe.“youd think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit._74_.fiveaday started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and veg companies and the american national cancer institute in 1991.there was no evidence for any cancer benefit.”myth: fruit and veg are the most nutritious things to eat.apparently not.harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to
