9、.Bob Dylan was awarded the big prize this morning, and my social media has been alive with indignation ever since. The Nobel did not go to those excellent novelists but to a songwriter.

15、ual blessing. D. Judge not according to the appearance.CSir William Osler has a few words for you: “In the Life of a young man, the most essential thing for happiness is the gift of friendship.” Truer words were never spoken. For what more could you ask than comradeship during the peaks and valleys

16、of life? To whom else but a close, valuable friend can you show off your successes and complain about your failures or losses?What is a “good friend”? How is he best described? Well, it has been my observation that although many will cry with you, few can sincerely rejoice (欣喜) with you. Therefore,

17、in my opinion, a good friend is one who can enjoy your successes without envy; one who can say, “That was wonderful! You can do it again, even better if you want!” and mean it. Nothing taxes a friendship more than the success of one and not the other. Even the closest of friendships often cannot res

18、ist such pressure and fail. No wonder many minor friendships go down day by day for the same reason.A person of good character and sound moral, of honor and humor, of courage and belief is a friend to be sought and treasured for there are few. Too often we hear, “If you can count your good friends o

19、n more than one hand, consider yourself blessed.” And even then I would add, “Even if you have lost two fingers of that hand to the electric saw.What makes a friendship last? Well, I dont know all the answers, but one of my observations is that most good friends usually have similar tastes. They gen

20、erally like and dislike many of the same things. There also usually seems to exist a similarity of personality types - especially in the fundamental values of life such as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, and dependability. More often than not, birds of a feather do fly together. I dont think it matters

21、 a lot whether one prefers jazz or hockey to anothers Mozart or ballet. Much other matters far more: relying, sharing, giving, getting, enjoying; a sympathetic ear always there; criticism when it can help; praise - even if only because it would help. With not many people on this earth will you find

22、this much in common. When you find one, hang on to him, for a good friend found is a rare treasure.8. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph two?A. People dont have to pay taxes to develop friendship with others.B. Success of one person can promote his friendship with others.C.

23、Friendship can be affected by the difference in success between friends.D. Nothing can affect friendship because it has gone through the peaks and valleys of life.9. What is the main idea of Paragraph three ?A. One is lucky to have many friends. B. A friend should have a good character.C. We should

24、count our friends on more than one hand.D. A true friend should be treasured because there are few.10. According to the passage, which of the following plays the LEAST important role in a long-lasting friendship?A. Hobbies. B. Tastes. C. Personality. D. Sympathy.11. The passage maily tells us _.A. H

25、ow good friends share the same taste and hobbies?B. Why is friendship essetial in ones life?C. What is friendship and what makes it last?D. What one can do to keep friendship last?DWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging

26、in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of peopl

27、e who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement wit

28、h what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely t

29、o live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your pe

30、rsonality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That stu

31、dy looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.P

The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is_.A. to see whether peoples persona

33、lity affects their life spanB. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity13.

34、standing of evolution.B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They generally appear more resourceful.D. They are more likely to get over hardship.14. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B. Personali

35、ty characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.15. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A.Childrens personality character
