One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumsta

26、nces. Social support consists 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 hassles (困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those w

27、ithout such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relativ

28、es, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite 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

29、. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in free-time 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 supportfinancial aid, material resour

30、ces, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.56. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can _. A. make people live more easily B. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changes D. cure types of illnesses57. The researches show that

31、 peoples physical and mental health _.

32、.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. Breaks away from59. Helping a sick neighbor with repair work in spare time is an example of _. A. instrumental support B. informational support C. social compa

33、nionship D. the strengthening of self-respect BCloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, f

34、or the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fa

35、ir to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personali

36、ty is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遗传), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. Wh

37、at if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual.
