to doctors or self-help books, but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. a 10-year australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. a large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk (危险) for obesity (肥胖) among people whose friends gained weight. and last year, harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could improve brain health as we age.“in general, the role of friendship in our lives isnt well realized,” said rebecca, a professor at the university of north carolina. “friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”while many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. in a six-year study of 736 middle-aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. only smoking was as important a risk factor (因素) as having little social support.exactly why friendship has such a big effect isnt entirely clear. while friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “people with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said karen, a doctor. “the message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”51the three studies in paragraph2 show that .a. old people need friends the most.b. friends can help us lose weight.c. social ties (关系) are connected to healthd. more friends make us healthier.52what do rebeccas words in paragraph3 mean?a. friendship is more important to women than to men.b. what people need most is a friends care.c. friendship is more important than family relationshipd. the value of friendship hasnt been fully understood.53the author mentioned smoking in the text to discuss .a. the cause of heart attack.b. the risk of having no friends.c. smoking is bad for men.d. friends influence on habits.54what would be the best title of the text?a. friends are the best medicine.b. friends are as important as a family.c. having good friends leads to a longer life.d. friendship makes people happy.bin america, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. it is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. to make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.even though theyve done this already in the middle school, its still important to find where their classrooms are. most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. and, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. this can help students and parents to find different places in the school.one way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. fall activities begin in august before the first day of school. if you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. these clubs allow students from different grades. by joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). the school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.whats more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.55according to the text, most students feel _ when entering the high

city is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. from the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. the volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.the paseo de la reforma(改革大道), running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in mexico city with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. the only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.one of the most popular attractions in this area is the national museum of anthropology (人类学) along the northwest part of the street. there are thousands of artifacts(手工艺品) on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many aztec sites in the area. walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the mexico city zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.across the street from the museum is the chapultepec castle, once an important site in the mexican-american war. its also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep（陡峭的）. its important to keep in mind that mexico city is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.you can take a taxi to the coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. its a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional mexican cuisine（菜肴）. however, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.59the tourists in mexico city may not be

american science teacher, who is thirty-five years old and a forester（护林员）.but he decided he would rather work with growing minds than with growing trees.seven years ago, michael geisen got masters degree in teaching and a job at a middle school. he brought new energy to the science department there. he created school projects, and got parents support in their childrens work. he always tried to be creative with each activity, and he didnt like using textbooks much. one girl in his class said he could probably make it interesting to watch grass grow. during lunch, his students come to his room to talk, get help, visit his turtle（海龟）and sometimes join him in playing the guitar. he writes songs and develops games about science. he says one of his goals as a teacher is to create people who will continue to learn throughout their lives.the national teacher of the year is a professional award（奖）in the united states. the program began in 1952. each state chooses one teacher as the
