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 illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect 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 free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.21. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can _.A. make people live more easilyB. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changes D. cure types of illnesses22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”?A. takes place ofB. lessens the effect of C. makes up of D. gets rid of23. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of _.A. instrumental support B. informational supportC. the strengthening of self-respect D. social companionship24. The researches show that peoples physical and mental health _.A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changesC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersBAccording to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause, to exist something each of us does daily”We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun”, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our daytoday activities.25. Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?ATo prepare for a meal.BTo buy some books from a bookstore.CTo arrange the furniture in a special way.DTo “write” a letter with the computer.26. “There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _.Awe can seldom create new thingsBa new thing is only a taleCa new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest thingsDwe can hardly see really new things in the world27. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?AIts more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.DA man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.28. The best title for this passage is _ .AHow to Develop Ones CreativityBThe Importance of CreativityCWhat Is CreativityDCreativity，a Not Faraway ThingCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken-belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（缓解）can we discover a new meaning in competition.29. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Opinions about competition are different among people.B. Competition helps to set up self-respect.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.30. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means_.A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who rely on others most for successD. those who are against competition most strongly31. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A. Ones success in competition needs great efforts.B. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.C. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.32. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.B. Every effort should be paid back.C. Competition should be encouraged.D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.DOne of the best ways to learn a foreign language is to follow the method you use to learn your native language. As a child you hear the sounds of your own language and you repeat it. You see the written form of the language around you and little by little you are taught to link the two forms of the language. The BBC uses this method in many different ways.English teaching radio programmesWith explanations in 37 languages as well as completely in English, these programmes are broadcast to most areas of the world from London and by some 300 overseas radio stations in more than 100 countries.Courses of textbooks and audiocassettesThese audio courses are for people who wish to learn English at home or in the classroom. They can all be used for studying English from beginners level to advanced.Video coursesBBC English programmes have been broadcast successfully on television in more than 100 countries. They can also be got on video, with supporting textbooks and audiocassettes; they form complete courses for home study or teaching.A magazineThe BBC English magazine is a bi-monthly publication and is a companion to BBC English radio broadcasts. It is written by the programme makers and includes programme details, practical home study exercises and features, as well as items of general interest from BBC programmes dealing with science, medicine, technology, etc.English language summer schoolThis popular course for learners and teachers of English is held in London every summer.For information on any of the above, please write to：BBC English, PO Box 76, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1.In London, personal callers can see BBC English courses on display at the BBC World Shop, Bush House, London WC2B4PH1.33.

Audiocassettes are things that you can_.A. look at B. listen to C. read D. watch35.

The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago._36_In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural(乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in historya society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning._37_The process of urbanizationthe migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the citywas the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. _38_Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities._39_Until modern times，those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country._40_ Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non- farmers.A. That kept cities very small.B. The rest live in small towns.C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers moreproductive.G.
