I
considered an active social life as basic human
necessity. Yet when it dawned
on me
just how much time I was spending socializing, I
realized I may be taking it
to an
extreme. I calculated that, on average, I was
spending 22 hours or more each
week on
social activities. So, to see what would happen to
my work output, health
and wellbeing, I
decided to try and cut out my social life
entirely.
I knew, at times, I filled my
schedule simply out of fear of missing out (FOMO),
but also as a way to shift focus away
from my work. For one month, I declined all
in-person
activities
with
friends:
going
out
for
drinks;
dinners;
parties
and
non-
work
related
events,
to
see
if
it
would
make
me
more
productive,
improve
my
focus
and
career
prospects.
On
day
one
of
the
month-long
experiment,
I
had
to
fight
some
anxiety
over
missing
out. But as the days
passed, I started to relax. I only had one option
to consider
for Saturday
night
—
to stay
home
—
and this limitation
left me more satisfied in my
decision.
I felt more content working, reading or watching
TV.
While I found more time to work, I
also noticed a change in my overall health.
I found myself cooking more at home,
doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier
each night, reading, and enjoying
moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.
Having
no
social
life
left
me
more
free
time
than
I’d
imagine.
Such
idle
moments
are vital for creativity, and mind
wandering has been linked to creative problem
solving. During the experiment I found
myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and
reimagining existing projects.
Of
course
socializing
is
an
important
way
to
build
work
contacts.
While
one
month
of no
social life did not impact my relationship with
existing clients, if I had
continued,
it may harm my ability to build new ones.
24. What did the author realize about
his socializing?
A. It was difficult
for him to contact people.
B. It’s a
necessary part of his life and work.
C. He had spent too much time in
socializing.
D. He should have spent
more time socializing.
25. How did the
author feel on the first day of his experiment?
- 3 -
A. He felt
anxious that he might be left out.
B.
He felt more energetic to get down to work.
C. He felt relaxed not having to
contact people.
D. He felt doubtful
whether he could hold on.
26. What
benefit did the author find to let his mind wander
lazily?
A. He could have more time with
his family.
B. He could solve problems
in a creative way.
C. He could be more
concentrated on his work.
D. He could
free himself from the work contacts.
27. What would the author do after the
experiment?
A. Live a quiet life with
his family away from the outside.
B.
Make a new social life with any possible
customers.
C. Spare some time regularly
for creative thinking alone.
D.
Continue his work contacts with his customers.

How
much
weight
a
baby
gains
during
its
first
month
could
determine
its
IQ,
as
a
new
research
suggests.
The
study
found
that
children
who
gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly
during the first month of life,
tend to
have a higher IQ when they start school.
Researchers at the University of
Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children
who
were
born
at
full-term.
They
found
that
those
who
put
on
40%
of
their
birth
weight
in the first four
weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who
only put on 15%
of
their
birth
weight.
Those
who
experienced
the
biggest
growth
in
head
circumference
(
头围
) also had the
highest IQs by the age of six.
“Head
circumference is an
indicator of brain
volume, so a greater increase in
head
circumference
in
a
newly-
born
baby
suggests
more
rapid
brain
growth,”
says
the
led author of the study, Dr. Lisa
Smithers.
She
added,
“Overall,
newly
-born
children
who
grew
faster
in
the
first
four
weeks
had higher IQ scores later in life.
Those children who gained the most weight scored
especially high on verbal
(
言语
) IQ at age 6. This may
be because the neural (
神
- 4 -
经的
)
structures
for verbal IQ develop
earlier in life, which means
the
rapid weight
gain during the
first month could be having a direct cognitive
benefit for the
children.”
Previous
studies
have
shown
the
association
between
early
postnatal
(
产后的
)
diet
and IQ, but this is the
first study of its kind to focus on the IQ
benefits of rapid
weight
gain
in
the
first
month
of
life.
Dr.
Smithers
says
the
study
further
highlights
the need for
successful feeding of newly-
born
babies. “We know that many mothers
have
difficulty
establishing
breastfeeding
in
the
first
week
of
their
babies’
life,”
Dr. Smithers said.
“The findings of our study suggest that
if babies are having feeding problems,
there needs to be early intervention
(
干预) in the management of that
feeding.”
28. The study
mainly shows that ________
A. head
circumference is certainly connected to IQ.
B. babies’ heads grow quickly during
the first month.
C. full-
term babies tend to be cleverer than premature
babies. (
早产儿
)
D.
the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher
IQ they are likely to
have.
29. How did the researchers get their
conclusion from the study?
A. By asking
questions.
B. By making comparison.
C. By having a discussion.
D. By referring to documents.
30. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we
can learn that ________
A. a kid’s
verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age
six.
B. this study helps
parents find feeding problems.
C. quick
weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal
IQ.
D. this study reminds parents of
the need for breastfeeding.
31. The
study differs from previous ones that _________
A. it associates early postnatal diet
with IQ.
B. it pays attention to the IQ
of newly-born babies.
- 5 -
C. it emphasizes the significance of
successful feeding.
D. it first focuses
on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the
first
month of life.

Growing up can sometimes
seem like a roller coaster. There are ups and
downs and
unexpected
turns.
Abuse
or
neglect
by
adult
can
make
the
ride
even
rougher.
But
being
bullied(
欺凌
)
by
another
child
can
leave
especially
lasting
scars.
That's
the
finding
of a new study.
Bullied kids face a high risk of mental
health problems as teens and as young
adults. Indeed bullied kids might be
worse off than those who had suffered physical
abuse or neglect, the study found.
Dieter
Wolke
works
at
the
University
of
Warwick
in
England.
Until
recently,
most
studies
of
child
victims
focused
not
on
bullying
but
on
maltreatment,
this
psychologist says. Maltreatment
includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or
other behaviors that can harm a child.
Wolke's
team
wanted
to
better
understand
how
bullying's
long-term
effects
compare
to those due to maltreatment. They
focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom
and
1,420
more
in
the
United
States.
Information
about
bullying
and
maltreatment
was
collected for American
children to age collected the same information
for
British youth up to age 16. The
researchers also gathered data on each
individual's
mental health as a young
adult.
Among
the
Americans,
36
percent
of
bullied
kids
had
mental
problems
later.
Those
problems included anxiety, which is a
state of excessive worry. They also included
depression. That is a feeling of
hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids
who
had
been
maltreated
by
adults,
17
percent
later
suffered
mental
health
problems.
That was less than half the rate seen
in people who had been bullied as school kids.
In the U. K. group, the difference was
less spectacular. Roughly 25 percent of
the
bullied
kids
reported
mental
health
problems
later,
compared
with
about
17
percent
who had been
maltreated.
- 6 -
But however you look at it, the finding
are disturbing, Wolke says. They show
that bullied children have similar or
worse mental health problems later in life.
And
that’s
why
he
says
schools,
health
services
and
other
agencies
must
work
together
to
end bullying.
32. According to the
passage, which of the statements is TRUE?
A. Kids treated cruelly recover soon
after they grow up.
B. All bullied kids
have mental health problems.
C. Most
kids with maltreatment experience tend to become
violent adults.
D.
Most
studies didn’t pay much attention to
bullying until recently.
33.
How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By providing research results.
C. By explaining statistical data.
B. By stating
arguments.
D. By giving
examples.
34.
The underlined
word “spectacular” in paragr
aph 6 could
be best replaced
by _______.
A. slight
B.
dramatic
D. similar
C. specific
35. According to the text, what does
Wolke suggest doing?
A. Taking good
care of children.
B. Joining hands
to stop bullying.
C. Keeping
psychologically healthy.
D.
Comparing different types of abuse.

Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy?
Psychologists
(
心理学家）
have long said that
connecting with others is an
important
part of happiness, but just how much conversation
we require is under
examination. In one
study
，
researchers found
that small talk made up only 10% of
their conversation related with
happiness.
