35、ng? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your so-workers irresistible, youre hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests its because the rumors are all about us. Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to
36、improve, promote, and protect the self, writes a research team led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal PersonalityandSocialPsychologyBulletin, the researchers describe two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured
37、 178 university undergraduates who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident in which a group members shared with them either positive or negative information about
38、 another group members secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip (The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X); others measured its self-promotion value (The information I recei
39、ved made me feel that I am doing well compared to X). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns (The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group).In the second experiment,122 undergraduates were assigned the role of sales agent at a major com
40、pany. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to participants in the first experime
41、nt.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. Positive gossip has self-improvement value, they write. Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve ones own competence. On the other
42、hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride. In addition, the results showed that negative gossip elicited self-protection concerns, the researchers write
43、. Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear. Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: Gossip conveniently provides i
44、ndividuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.58. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense
45、 of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others mistakes.59. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. Ive done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about li
46、ke Mary.C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.60. Whats the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants.B. The number of the participants studied.C. The ti
47、me during which the experiment lasted.D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.61. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers? A. A fear killer B. A motivator C. A protector D. A subject providerC If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds
48、or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline. At first blush, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesnt do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-
49、school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though. Todays instant electronic memossuch as texting and Facebook and Twitter messagesare more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff;
50、we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message
51、 that you pick up later, I can now send you an unobtrusive, easily -consumed message that you can readand respond toon the go.The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era. Instantaneous(及时) written messages are different. These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any t
52、ime: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these notes are invariably brief, theyre a natural for smartphone typing. With these formats, you also have control over who can correspond with you, which you usually dont in e-mail. And especially on Facebook, instant messaging can tak
53、e on the character of a chat room, where several people can talk at once. Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel ephemeralyou read them, then theyre gone, into an endless string, e-mai
54、l still feels like something youhave and that you can file, search and return to later. Its easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations. So, e-mail wont go away completely. Remember, weve been through a tra
55、nsition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. Thats not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller niche, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues. E-mail down, messaging up. Now go cl
56、ean out your in-box.62. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts? A. Contact close friends B. Send long messages C. Fill in some forms D. Communicate with their colleagues63. Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that they _. A. illustrate the preferences of
57、the young generation B. explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail C. reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels D. offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages64. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Conveniently-sen
58、t B. Randomly-written C. Hardly readable D. Short-lived65. What does the author think of e-mail being replaced? A. Negative B. Indifferent C. Ambiguous D. DoubtfulD Last summer, I spent an afternoon with my daughter, Ava Scarlett. As her mother, I know about her true nature, but you can always learn
59、 new things about your child through how she makes the tough I asked, “Which would you rather have? All the Barbies (toys girls like much) or all the cake? Ava had a wrinkle formed on her nose. It wasnt a fair question, of course, but I was curious. My daughter is seven years old, and like many kids
60、 her age, she has a red-hot love of barbies. I sometimes worry about what Mattels plastic princess and her straight, blond hair and unrealistic measurements will don to my daughters developing psyche. My daughter, like many kids her age, is fascinated with cakes of all kinds. But its not about eatin
61、g themor not solely(单独地). She wants to be the person baking amazing shapes and colors. Unblinking, her eyes shine as show watches chocolate. Ava Scarlett turned, staring at me with her answer in mind. And it was good. “Why cant we have both and share with everyone who wants?” My daughter always spli
62、ts her cookie in two so her brother can have some. She offers me her last bite of cucumber, even though its her favorite vegetable. She wants us to know how much she cares for us-each of us. and she even makes the list of loved ones who will get to have her dream cakes. Truth to be told, we dont bak
63、e a whole lot in our house. But given the opportunity, Ava Scarlett is satisfied with baking cakes for the family. Today, its dinner: she has declared herself in charge of beating the egg for dinner. Carefully, she carries her little white chair over to the fridge. The chair isnt heavy, and shes now
64、 big enough to lift it easily-no more dragging it across the floor. Looking into the wire basket of brown and white eggs we keep in the fridge, Ava Scarlett has a question of her own. “Can I choose any egg I want?” “Of course.” She takes a long moment.” I think Ill choose a brown one, because I love
65、 my mother.” I blink-Ava Scarlett often doesnt realize that she is also brown. I remember wanting to be a standard Barbie when I was seven, too, which is really just a way of saying, “I dont want to feel different.” I give my daughter a quick smile. She does her best and then reaches in to pick one
66、out. I know she did so to express her love for me and our family. At this moment, I choose to accept her comment as a generous one. Ava Scarletts desire is for people around her to be as happy as possible. She wants things to be smooth. These days, though shed rather be Barbie than a brown egg, shed
67、 never want me to feel abandoned by her. This little apple hasnt fallen very far from my tree. Its amazing what your children mirror back. I hand Ava Scarlett a fork. “Did you know that eggs come in all kinds of colors and shapes? Theyre all exactly the same on the inside, though. Just like people.”
68、 “I know.” She said.I can almost hear the gears in her head turning my words over and around. Of course, eggs are the same on the inside, just like people, shes thinking. I know she understands this.66. What made the author so worried? A. That her daughter loves only Barbies and ignores other toys.
69、B. That Barbies would have a negative effect on her daughter. C. That she was too busy to be there for her daughter D. That her daughter doesnt know how to share67. How does the authors express love to her? A. By selecting a brown egg B. By sharing her cookie with her C. By giving up her favorite Ba

When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, its called peer pressure. Your peers influence your life, even if you dont realize
87、it, just by spending time with you. Its only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group. Peers can have a positive influence on you. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. You might admire a friend
88、who is always good at sports and try to be more like her or him. Sometimes, your peers can influence you in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to skip class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the
89、ball. Teenagers are the most likely to fall prey to peer pressure. So, their parents and teachers should make sure they dont submit to it. And the solution is not in isolating them from their peers. Its in teaching them to make good choices in life.写作内容： 1用约30个单词写出上文概要； 2用约120个单词就“来自同龄人的影响”这一话题谈谈你的想

She has a positive influence on me. Once she noticed that I was about to give up halfway after spending ages struggling wi

But she kept trying, and worked on the problem for several hours, I was very moved. I was very moved. Since then, her firm determination to overcome difficulties has inspired me
94、 whenever I has been in a tricky situation.From my perspective, since peer pressure is very important, we should get closer to those who have a positive influence on us , and keep away from those who do not.
