Americans circle of close confidants has shrunk dramatically in the past two decades but
the number of people who say they【M1】______ have no one with whom to discuss important matters has more than doubled, according to a new study by sociologists at Duke University and the University of Arizona " The evidence shows that Americans have more confidants and those ties are also more【M2】______ family-based than they are used to be," said Lynn Smith-Lovin,【M3】______ Professor of Sociology at Duke University and one of the studys authors of Social Isolation in America: Changes in Core Discussion Networks Over Two Decades. The study compared data from 1985 to 2004 and found which【M4】______ the mean number of people with whom Americans can discuss matters important to them dropped by nearly one-third, from 2.94 people in 1985 to 2.08 in 2004. The study paints a picture of Americans social contacts a "densely connected, close,【M5】______ homogeneous set of ties slowly closing in on themselves,【M6】______ becoming smaller, more tightly interconnected, more focusing on【M7】______ the very strong bonds of the nuclear family." That means less contacts created through clubs, neighbors and【M8】______ organizations outside the home—a phenomenon popularly known as " bowling lonely," from the 2000 book of the same title by【M9】______ Robert D. Putnam. The researchers speculated that changes in communities and families, such as the increase in a number of【M10】______ hours that family members spend at work and the influence of Internet communication, may contribute to the decrease in the size of close-knit circles of friends and relatives.

Disease can be one of the most powerful factors in checking population growth. In crowded
conditions where many individuals of a species are living close together, the spread of pathogens(病原体)from one individual to another, occurs read fly. History shows many instances where human populations, crowded together in cities, have been almost wiped out by the rapid spread of disease. Modern orchard and forestry practice recognizes this fact and the close planting of trees of the same species is avoided. Mixed forests and orchards are the recognized procedure these days.

Apart from regulating population numbers in other species, disease has probably been the greatest factor in controlling the growth of the human population. In the mid-14th century, the Black Death wiped out 25 million people in Europe a lone, while as recently as 1918 over 21 million people died in a single year as a result of the influenza epidemic. The relative stability of the human population has been upset by advances in medical science. No longer does disease regulate human population growth in many parts of the world. Medical cures have prolonged life and upset the age structure of many populations, increasing the proportion of individuals in the reproductive age group.

The decrease in distribution and numbers of some species of native birds in New Zealand-the bellbird for example-has been attributed to disease rather than predation. Indeed, there are examples to show that disease has deliberately been used to control some animal populations. In Australia, for instance, the introduction of the myxomatosis(多发粘液瘤病) virus has drastically reduced the rabbit population in many areas, although increasing resistance to the disease is be coming apparent. Attempts to introduce myxomatosis into New Zealand as a means of rabbit population control have failed, mainly because the species of flea and mosquito that transmit the disease are absent in this country.

Research is currently being carried out to discover whether selected strains of virus can be used to control pathogenic bacteria that have developed a resistance to drugs. It is hoped that the virus will parasite(寄生于)and kill the bacteria without harming the organism that the bacteria has infected.

Why is the close planting of trees of the same species avoided in modern orchards and forests?

A.Because mixed forests and orchards are the recognized procedures these days.

B.Because trees of same species may cause the spread of disease.

C.Because modern orchards and forests are more specialized.

D.Because trees planted crowdedly do not have enough room to develop their roots.

Although most of us believe that we communicate almost exclusively with words, research ha
s shown that nonverbal communication is at least as important. Gestures and tone of voice are important cues in determining others' responses to us. Individuals who are not aware of information conveyed nonverbally are at a social disadvantage. In fact, children who fail to "read" such messages tend to be unpopular and underachievers. Children who are overeager or speak loudly, for example, may offend other children, or adults. When they fail to adjust their behavior. on the basis of others' responses, they aggravate the situation.

Adults may offend their peers also by their inattention to nonverbal responses. The sense of personal space varies among individuals and cultures. The salesman who puts his arm around the shoulder of a prospective buyer should realize the possible consequences of his gesture. Physical contact conveys sense of intimacy that the relationship may or may not warrant. Standing very close to someone during a face-to-face conversation may produce a negative reaction. In fact, you may observe the person back away.

Practice and traditions are more permissive in some cultures than in ours. In most situations, those people of power often take or receive more space. Think of the teacher whose large desk is surrounded by more space than the students' smaller desks.

Tone of voice also conveys messages and emotions. "Beautiful" may be used to describe bouquet of roses or a black eye, but the tone of voice will not be the same. "Thanks a lot" can be said with genuine gratitude or with sarcasm.

Dog trainers report that dogs respond to tone of voice than to the particular words that are said. Dogs are often praised in a consistent tone of voice that may be slightly high-pitched and somewhat singsong. They will respond to this tone of voice with wagging tails even if the words don't match.

The main point of the article is that

A.dogs and humans communicate the same way.

B.gestures and tone of voice convey a great deal of information.

C.our system of communication is changing rapidly.

D.only human beings are capable of verbal communication.

Friendly Relations with the people Around

1 You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness(归属)that you must have to feel secure. But, In fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to give that feeling to them. A person who shows that he wants everything for himsefl in bound(一定的)to be a lonely wolf.

2 The need for companionship is closely realated to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.

3 Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don’t know them. When the game is over, you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win.

4 An experience of this kind gives the clue(线索)to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed.

5 When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances(熟人), you may not know with whom you will make friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.

People have always wondered about these pictures inside their heads. But dreams come only
with sleep. It has been hard to find out more about them. People have tried to make their dreams work for them. Some people have thought dreams were a way into the past. Others have seen dreams as a path to follow. Some have even thought dreams could help the sick.

Dreams start when the" inner mind" is opened. This is the place where memories are stored. Often dreams are hard to understand. This is because the inner mind sometimes uses symbols.

Symbols are words or pictures that stand for something else. Most symbols stand for things that have just happened. They can also stand for thing that happened a long time ago. By using symbols, the inner mind can show people things in dream5 that they did not know about themselves. The symbol is another way of showing what really happened.

Dreams have close ties with sleep. People sleep 33 percent of their lives. This is called sleep time. People dream during 25 percent of sleep time.

While they are sleeping, people "tune out" the things around them. But when they dream, people may seem to sense the same things they de when they are awake. They may sometimes see, hear, taste, smell, and feel things in their dreams. These things often seem as real to people when they are asleep as when they are awake.

Even though sleeping people seem to be resting, their bodies are working. Scientists have found that the eyes of sleeping people are moving. They have also found out that their brains are sending out waves.

Why has it been difficult for people to find out more about dreams?

A.Different people have different ideas about dreams.

B.Different dreams have different meanings.

C.People can only have their dreams studied when they are sleeping.

D.People only have dreams when they are sick.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. 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 cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困难).

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. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-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.
