     [1] "Having a Sister Makes You Happier" was the headline on a recent article about a study finding that
adolescents who have a sister are less likely to have such feelings as "I am unhappy, sad or depressed". But
why?
     [2] The usual answer that girls and women are more likely than men to talk about emotions is somehow
unsatisfying, especially to a researcher like me. Much of my work over the years shows that women's styles
of friendship and conversation aren't better than men's by nature, simply different.
     [3] My own recent research about sisters suggests a more subtle dynamic. Together with my students I
interviewed more than 100 women about their sisters, but if they also had brothers, I asked them to make a
comparison. Most said they talked to their sisters more often, at greater length and, yes, about more personal
topics. This often meant that they felt closer to their sisters, but not always. One woman, for example, says
she talks for hours by phone to her two brothers as well as her two sisters. But the topics differ. She talks to
her sisters about their personal lives; with her brothers she discusses history, geography and books. And talking for hours creates and reinforces connections with both brothers and sisters, regardless of what they talk about.
     [4] So the key to why having sisters makes people happier-men as well as women - may lie not in the kind of talk they exchange but in the fact of talk.
     [5] So maybe it's true that talk is the reason why having a sister makes you happier, but it needn't be talk
about emotions. When women told me more often, at greater length and about more personal topics, I suspect
it's that first element - more often - that is crucial rather than the last.

[1]An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.
[2]They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success.
[3]The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境). They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance(差额) $400. They promised to pay the cheque at the soonest possible.
[4]“No,” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct（扣除）whatever expenses you have spent on. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him a lot.
[5]It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being.
[6]Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do.
[7]Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was regarded as a great leader in Poland’s history.

【1】If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.

【2】Dr Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that ____________. Dr Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”

【3】So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

【4】Dr Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out, ” Dr Winkle says, “Concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll asleep before you know it.”

【1】The air was pleasant and the music was loud in the vast square in front of the New York State office building in Harlem(哈莱姆，美国纽约市黑人居住区) as health advocates（支持者，提倡者） set up information tables for Harlem wellness Week. It was a wide-ranging effort to educate people about non-communicable diseases: Heart disease, cancer, lung disease, obesity, and so on.

【2】There is an economic effect caused by these diseases, especially in Harlem, one of the city’s poorest districts. Without healthy employees and healthy customers, you cannot have healthy business, says Patricia Ricketts of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors Wellness Week.

【3】Dr. Jo Ivy Boufford is president of the New York Academy of Medicine, a Wellness Week partner. She says education about better nutrition is important, but that people with low incomes often lack the means to put what they know into practice. But there is hope. New York is very active in adovating good, effective public health policies. “New York City has banned smoking in public places, both indoors and outdoors. That is a fantastic example of what can be done, without having any impact on the economy. It is a city where you have bike paths. That is a good message for the world, because bikes make your transport active. That is good for your health and lowers air pollution,” she said.

【4】“It is not enough to focus on the management of disease through medication,” Dr. Boufford says. “That’s why health advocates will be trying to persuade UN officials during Wellness Week to pass resolutions that deal with road and transport design and construction and other potential causes of non-communicable diseases.”

56． What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8words)

57Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph【4】.(no more than 3words)_______________ the management of disease through medication is not enough.
