teens suffering from social anxiety improving their self esteem 自尊 and helping them relate better to their friends according to 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 distress and just feel better said the study s 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 intensified 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 distress All the teens reported difficulty 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 master s or doctoral degrees in counseling 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 extensively about personal problems or bad relationships or showed evidence of low self esteem for example Self esteem social anxiety emotional distress 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 were consistent at the 用心 爱心 专心9 two month follow up The authors conceded that the skewed 有偏向的 sex ratio 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 interventions and there were no major differences They said future research should attempt to control the subjects for sex 50 The selection of students for the experiment was largely based on A their social relationshipsB their self esteem C their problems in social lifeD their willingness to fill out a questionnaire 51 What s the function of controls Paragraph 4 in the experiment A To write down some social problems in a private diary B To post messages to the blog and respond to comments C To help evaluate the number and content of blog comments D To offer a comparison for checking the experimental result 52 From the experiment we can know that A writing private diaries makes no difference to the relief of one s emotional stress B teenagers opening their blogs up to comments have more psychological benefits C the positive effects of expressing one s emotions by blogging don t last very long D those describing bad relationships on blogs tend to develop more mental problems 53 What can be inferred from the last paragraph A The authors insisted that all the research findings were accurate B Sex rate had been taken into account before the survey was conducted C The authors were intended to improve the experiment in the future D Similar reactions of boys and girls indicated the failure of the experiment 54 What is the main idea of the passage A Blogging can help reduce social stress and anxiety B The research into blogging attracts public attentipon C Blogging provides a simple way for communication D Blog comments have a positive effect on teenagers D It s just a small white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree No name no identification no inscription It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas oh not the true meaning of Christmas but the commercial aspects of it the overspending the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma the gifts given in desperation because you couldn t think of anything else 用心 爱心 专心10 Knowing he felt this way I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts sweaters ties and so forth I reached for something special just for Mike The inspiration came in an unusual way Our son Kevin who was 12 that year was wrestling 摔跤 at the junior level at the school he attended Shortly before Christmas there was a non league match against a team sponsored by an inner city church These youngsters dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes As the match began I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear a kind of light helmet 头盔 designed to protect a wrestler s ears It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford Well we ended up walloping them We took every weight class And as each of their boys got up from the mat he swaggered around in his tatters with false bravado a kind of street pride that couldn t acknowledge defeat Mike seated beside me shook his head sadly I wish just one of them could have won he said They have a lot of potential but losing like this could take the heart right out of them Mike loved kids all kids and he knew them having coached little league football baseball and lacrosse That s when the idea for his present came That afternoon I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner city church On Christmas Eve I placed the envelope on the tree the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years For each Christmas I followed the tradition one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas and on and on The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children ignoring their new toys would stand with wide eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents As the children grew the toys gave way to more practical presents but the envelope never lost its
