         Since we are social 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 heartdisease, 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 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, otherpeople 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 support-money aid, material resources, and needed services-that
    reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
    1. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can________.
    A. make people live more easily
    B. smooth away daily problems
    C. deal with life changes
    D. cure types of illnesses
    2. The researches show that people's physical and mental health________.
    A. lies in the social medical care systems which support them
    B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
    C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
    D. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes
    3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "cushions"?
    A. takes place of  
    B. makes up of
    C. lessens the effect of  
    D. gets rid of

    London—British supermodel Kate Moss quitted modeling for a time last year after becoming disillusioned (be set free from mistaken beliefs) with the industry's hedonistic(享乐主义的) and drug-fuelled lifestyle.

        “I quit because I thought: 'I hate ... it'. I didn't want to have to say I am a model ever again.” Moss said in an interview with Britain's Time Out magazine published Tuesday. The Londoner told the magazine the only way she could deal with life in the fashion industry was to “get out of it” in an apparent (显而易见的) reference to her much-publicized battle with alcohol and drugs.

        “In fashion, excess (无节制的) is not for creative purposes, whatever people may say. It is about escapism. You just have to get out of it to deal with it.” Moss said.

        It was the only way that you could go out night and night and do all these boring dinners. You are never allowed to be tired. It is a sin to be tired.

        But Moss, whose skinny (瘦骨嶙峋的) frame and delicate features have adorned (装饰) countless magazine covers over the last 10 years, was eventually persuaded to return to the job that made her a superstar and one of the wealthiest women with an estimated fortune of 15 million pounds ($ 21. 84 million).

        Moss said that this time round, she was determined to do things differently and have more control over the type of the work she did.

        “I have made my mistakes and I have learned my lesson.”

    1．Who does “the Londoner” in the second paragraph refer to?

        A. Kate Moss.

        B. The reporter.

        C. The reader.

        D. Kate's boss

    2．Why did Kate Moss quit her job?

        A. Because she wasn't able to earn her living by doing it.

        B. Because she didn't like this kind of way of life any longer.

        C. Because she wasn't popular any longer.

        D. Because she fell into the habit of taking drugs.

    3．Which of the following is implied in the passage?

        A. Kate Moss is a popular model and she used to be burdened with too much work.

        B. Kate Moss accepted an interview from a magazine.

        C. Kate Moss is very rich.

        D. Kate Moss isn't a model any longer.

    　　No woman can be too rich or too thin．This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times．Being thin is deemed as such a virtue．The

    　　problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it．I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes．Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better－or worse－part of my life．Being rich wouldn't be bad either, but that won't happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars．Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity's seven deadly sins．However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat．In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well－being．Today the opposite is true．We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue．The result is that being fat –or even only somewhat overweight－is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength．

    　　Our obsession(迷恋)with thinness is also fueled by health concerns．It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease．These diseases．, however, may as much to do with our way of life and our high－fat diets as with excess weight．And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem－too much fat and a lack of fiber－than a weight problem．The real concern, then, is not what we weight too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well．Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health．A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases．We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight．Simply being thin is not enough．It is actually hazardous if those who(or already are)thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life－style．Thinness can be pure vainglory(虚荣)．

    (1)

    In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue

    B．

    looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortune

    C．

    being thin is viewed as a much desired quality

    D．

    religious people are not necessarily virtuous

    (2)

    Swept by the prevailing trend, the author ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life

    B．

    could still prevent herself from going off the track

    C．

    had to seek help from rich distant relatives

    D．

    had to wear highly fashionable clothes

    (3)

    [　　]

    A．

    were closely related to their religious beliefs

    B．

    changed from time to time

    C．

    varied between the poor and the rich

    D．

    B．

    from sociological and medical points of view

    from a historical and religious standpoint
