Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨)than those who have a support system of friends.
Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don't want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and protected against the symptoms(癥狀)of depression and loneliness.
Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men while men are more likely to have a "fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically (心理上), friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the differ­ence in the length of one's life time.
小題1:In the author's opinion, a real friend should          .
A.tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it
B.try to persuade you to change your mind quickly
C.judge your decision according to his, her experience
D.give you advice but respect your own decision
小題2:Women benefit more from friendship than men because         .
A.women are always cared for by more people than men
B.women are usually less stress-out when staying with others
C.women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
D.women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
小題3:According to the passage we can infer that          .
A.it's good for women to tell men what they should do or not
B.friends are always more important than family members
C.men don't want to share their problems with many people
D.the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
小題4:This passage mainly talks about         .
A.why people should develop friendship
B.when friendship affects people's health
C.people’s different attitudes towards friendship
D.the friendship which can make people live longer

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:D

But that’s not the   小題16: . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M.

At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   小題19: to me as my Social Security number.

If you have ever gone through a toll booth(收費所), you know that your relationship to the person in the booth is not the most intimate you'll ever have. It is one of life's frequent affairs: You hand over some money; you might get change; you drive off.
  Late one morning in 1984, headed for lunch in San Francisco, I drove toward a booth. I heard loud music. It sounded like a party. I looked around. No other cars with their windows open. No sound trucks. I looked at the toll booth. Inside it, the man was dancing.
  "What are you doing?" I asked.
  "I'm having a party," he said.
  "What about the rest of the people?" I looked at the other toll booths.
  He said, "What do those look like to you?" He pointed down the row of toll booths.
  "They look like……toll booths. What do they look like to you?"
  He said, "Vertical coffins. At 8:30 every morning, live people get in. Then they die for eight hours. At 4:30, like Lazarus from the dead, they reemerge and go home. For eight hours, brain is on hold, dead on the job. Going through the motions."
  I was amazed. This guy had developed a philosophy, a mythology about his job. Sixteen people dead on the job, and the seventeenth, in precisely the same situation, figures out a way to live. I could not help asking the next question: "Why is it different for you? You're having a good time."
He looked at me. "I knew you were going to ask that. I don't understand why anybody would think my job is boring. I have a corner office, glass on all sides. I can see the Golden Gate, San Francisco, and the Berkeley hills. Half the Western world vacations here……and I just stroll in every day and practice dancing."
小題1:According to the first paragraph, in most cases, how do you describe the relationship between drivers and toll booth?
A.most intimateB.very tenseC.pretty ordinaryD.extremely hostile
小題2:Why did the author go to San Francisco?
A. To attend a party
B. B. To have a meal
C. To dance with the worker in the toll booth
D. To hand in the repair fee of his car
小題3:The underlined name “Lazarus” mentioned in the eighth paragraph probably refers to a person___________.
A. who was very active in his life
B. B. who was dead and revived from death
C. who was going to San Francisco
D. who liked dancing at work
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.The author passed by the toll booth every day.
B.The worker enjoyed his work very much.
C.Only western people like to spend their holidays in the Berkeley hills.
D.The dancing worker was getting badly along with his colleagues.
小題5:After hearing what the worker said, the author would probably_________.
A.go to the worker’s senior to complain about his bad attitude towards job.
B.go climbing the Golden Gate and the Berkeley hills to have a vacation.
C.learn to take a positive attitude to job and appreciate valuable things in life.
D.go back home instead of wasting time traveling to San Francisco.
