Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assur ed of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven't seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over­committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you in sist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.1．In this passage the author mainly discusses ________.A．how to balance friendship and workB．how to spend our spare timeC．whether we should keep friendshipD．w hether we should invite friends to dinner2．Which of the following doesn't indicate a good relationship?A．You have someone to count on when you are in trouble.B．You have someone to have close talks with.C．You feel depressed with others in life.D．You have fun when you are with someone.3．The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following EXCEPT that ________.A．you spend too much time seeking material toys in your lifeB．you feel it difficult to keep friendshipC．you stick to doing everything all by yourselfD．you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Too Busy for Friendship?B．Too Busy with Work?C．How to Spend Your TimeD．How to Make New FriendsB(2014·扬州中学第二学期期中考试)Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.1．Take picturesOne of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it's very easy after taking a picture to say “If you'd like I can email it to you.” This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.2．Eat alone in publicYou might feel self­conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self­conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they've read it.3．Join a class, sports team, or clubYoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.Tips：*In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it's something you wouldn't normally do.*Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend)．*Don't let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don't want to be around someone like that!5．When having meals, you'd better ________ if you want to make new friends.A．approach others to show conscious friendlinessB．start a conversation with those who have friends asideC．invite others to your apartment to eat togetherD．sit on your own in public places6．According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?A．It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.B．It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.C．It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.D．It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.7．Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?A．Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.B．Never turn down an invitation from your friends.C．Offer suggestions on how to spend time together.D．Always give a positive response to any request.8．By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.A．why you should change when you move to a new cityB．how you can make new friends in a new cityC．why you should make new friends in a new cityD．how you can keep in touch with strangersGetting along with others 单元检测(B卷——自主选做) Ⅰ.完形填空(2014·太原一模)England was one of the first countries to set aside a day to recognize mothers.

What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example？”For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone­users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.1．The underlined word “candid” in Para. 1 probably means ________.A．straightforward B．criticalC．ambitious D．subjective2．Why is it surprising that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages?A．Because many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information.B．Because others might see the text messages on the phone.C．Because people are less likely to engage in “satisficing”．D．Because respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.3．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．people fond of text messaging are more honestB．texting will give away less sensitive informationC．different variables might affect the responses of messagingD．about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers4．Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could ________.A．present their best to the interviewersB．have more time to make a replyC．pay less for sending a messageD．enjoy more freedom of speech5．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Texting Downs ResponsesB．Texting Exposes IdentityC．Texting Benefits IntervieweesD．Texting Ups TruthfulnessⅢ.任务型阅读(2014·淮安调研)You say you want to be alone? Think again. Researchers have found that older people with fewer human contacts are more likely to die — even if they're happy in their isolation (孤立状态) —than people with richer social lives. The study adds to the debate over whether loneliness, social isolation, or some combination of the two leads to higher death rate.Social isolation is an objective condition in which people have little communication with others. Loneliness, on the other hand, is an emotional state felt by people who are dissatisfied with their social connections.To find out the effects of being alone versus (比对) just feeling lonely, Steptoe of University College London and his colleagues examined data from 6,500 Britons aged 50 and up who had filled out questionnaires evaluating their levels of loneliness.The most socially isolated subjects had a 26% greater risk of dying, even when sex, age, and other factors linked to survival were taken into account, the researchers report online today. They then made changes about their model to determine whether the connection to death was due to the fact that isolated people are often lonely. It wasn't.The researchers then explored the connection between loneliness itself and death. Intense loneliness also appeared to raise the risk of death by 26% — until the team took into account a host of other factors linked to survival, including wealth, education, and the presence of health problems. Once their impact had been explained, the scientists discovered that loneliness on its own didn't make people more vulnerable (脆弱的) to death.The researchers suspect that older people who have few social ties may not be getting the care they need. No one is urging them to eat right or take their medicine, and in a crisis no one is there to help.Other researchers praise the new work as rigorous (严密的) and well­controlled. But they say it's far from clear that social isolation, not loneliness, is always the real cause of increased death rate.Other studies, including an analysis of older Americans led by John Cacioppo, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, have shown a link between loneliness and a higher death rate. Cacioppo suspects that the disagreement between his study and the new research could lie with cultural differences between Steptoe's British subjects and Americans, and that Britons and Americans may define friends differently, too.Health psychologist Bert Uchino of the University of Utah praises the new study, but he says that researchers are still far from understanding how those two factors affect one another and other health­related behaviors.Dangers of IsolationPassage outline Supporting detailsThe finding of a new st udy andits impact •Social isolation may (1)________ older people's risk of death. •More (2)________ is caused over older people's higher death rate.The differences between social isolation andloneliness •Social isolation means that people hardly (3)________ with others or stay alone.•Loneliness means that people are not satisfied with the ir social connections or (4)________ lonely.The conclusion of the research •The isolation actually led to a greater risk of dying, but (5)________ itself couldn't cause the higher death rate.•The cause of higher death rate might lie in their lack of go od care and timely (6)________．The (7)________ of other •It was still (8)________ that social isolation rather than loneliness is the real cause of higher death rate.答案Getting along with others 单元检测(A卷——全员必做)Ⅰ.1.选C 当表示“与某人结识”时用make the acquaintance of sb.，该短语中的名词前要用定冠词，表示特指。
