Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I dont think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately. Theres no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each others lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You dont get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldnt you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best self as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you arent showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend. It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “Im sorry, but I cant have you in my life anymore.” But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, its often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that its also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently. 1、When experiencing major life changes, people may _. A. join a new social communityB. influence their friends aroundC. choose their friendships purposely D. have their people environment changed2、. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Everyone has at least one friend.B. It is unnecessary to make new friends.C. Friendship still exists though theres less connection. D. You ought to treat your old and new friends equally.3. What is the authors opinion on the loyalty to friends?A. Never betray your close friends whatever happens. B. Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C. Stick by your friends even though they do harm to you. D. Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke. 4. How should we behave when employed by a violent boss? A. We should accept what we are told to do.B. We should stay silent and be in favor of it. C. We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong. D. We should give our boss courage to continue. 参考答案14、DCBC Blogging may have psychological（心理的）benefits for teens suffering from social anxiety, improving their self-esteem（自尊）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 is a great way to reduce 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 controlseither 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 doctoral degrees in consulting and psychology, assessed the bloggers social and emotional condition by way of 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 sex and found that boys and girls reacted similarly to the experiment and there were no major differences. They said future research should attempt to control the subjects for sex.50The selection of students for the experiment was largely based on. Atheir social relationships Btheir self-esteem Ctheir problems in social lifeDtheir willingness to fill out a question naire51Whats the function of“controls” (Paragraph 4) in the experiment? ATo write down some social problems in a private diary. BTo post messages to the blog and respond to comments. CTo help evaluate the number and content of blog comments. DTo offer a comparison for checking the experimental result.52From the experiment we can know that. Awriting private diaries makes no difference to the relief of ones emotional stress Bteenagers opening their blogs up to comments have more psychological benefits Cthe positive effects of expressing ones emotions by blogging dont last very long Dthose describing bad relationships on blogs tend to develop more mental problems53What can be inferred from the last paragraph? AThe authors insisted that all the research findings were accurate. BSexrate had been taken into account before the survey was conducted. CThe authors were intended to improve the experiment in the future. DSimilar reactions of boys and girls indicated the failure of the experiment.54What is the main idea of thepassage? ABlogging can help reduce social stress and anxiety. BThe research into blogging attracts public attention. CBlogging provides a simple way for communication. DBlog comments have a positive effect on teenagers.【参考答案】79.CDBCA As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that tests cores have any relationship with teachers competence.Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their childrens progress. “Im the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond.Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kinder garten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teachers class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughters previous teacher. Her daughters teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.Ms. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teachers performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their childrens learning measured only by
