Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships.But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior.“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly,his gossip is letting you in on something,”says Dr.Ralph Rosnow of Temple University.“Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.” Seen this way,gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批评)without conflict(冲突),giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand,what about ill-willed gossip,the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and,in nearly every country in the world,gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers.According to researchers,however,this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地).“If we read bad news about well-known people,or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee,our own problems begin to pale in comparison(对比),”says Dr.Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However,that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing,either.Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress.This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people,they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.

解析
试题分析:作者从两句生活中常听到的话引入本文,“管好你自己的事。”我们被告诉。“不要在背后谈论别人。”这一建议的问题在于,它不仅是不现实的,这也是起反作用的。接下来作者从对八卦的正面作用与反面作用进行了事实例举,从中可以选择正确的方式进行闲聊,八卦是一个社会普遍存在的现象。
小题1:细节理解题。问题:短文的目的是什么?分析:通过读全文发现主要目的是讲正确对待八卦的正面认识。故选:D
小题2:细节理解题。问题:根据短文,一般人们的想法?分析原句:“Mind your own business.”we’re told.“Don’t talk about others behind their backs。”句意:“管好你自己的事。”我们被告诉。“不要在背后谈论别人。”其实在生活经常会听到这样的告诫,说明多数是认为闲聊是不好的,故选:A
小题3:细节理解题。问题:在第三段中这个短语的最接近的意思?分析原文:Gossip says:these are the boundaries and you are crossing them.You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.句意:八卦说:这些都是你穿越的边界和你不遵守规则,你最好回来。规则为不遵守,也就是划线的词组为遵守,结合选项making 做;breaking破坏;obeying遵守;changing改变。从中得知答案,故选:C
小题4:细节理解题。问题:通过短文能了解到什么?结合选项:第一项:人们在压力下享受关于别人的闲语。第二项:通过八卦能帮助我们处理自己的问题。第三项:事实上大多数人倾向于相信流言蜚语。第四项:八卦越多,人们之间的关系变得越强。了解短文的内容得知只用第二项符合,故选:B

Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little while people do not notice their danger. Some schoolboys first pick up bad habits in school and on the streets. When they cannot finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they are older, the habits become so strong that they can never get rid of them. From copying, they fall behind, then learn to steal, and smoking is bad for their health. At last they become worse and worse.

The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.
Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse and neglect(虐待和忽略).
No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

You may feel curious (好奇的) about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their spare time? On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.Who studies hardest?
Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend more than two hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than students of the US (26.4%), Japan (8.2%) and South Korea (5.2%).
Who sleeps most often in class?
Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off (打瞌睡) in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China. South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).
Who is the most distracted (分心的)?
American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated (无关的) books in class.
What do they do after school?
In their spare time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet. Most American students hang out with their friends. Most Japanese students do physical exercises. Most Korean students watch TV.
小题1:
Who spent the most time studying according to the passage?A.Chinese students | B.American students |
C.Japanese students | D.Korean students |

The holiday’s upon us.After months of study, you have some time to yourself.So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media(媒体)that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled.There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen _________is a wonderful collection of _______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course.Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The webpage(网页)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed(设计) to make it as easy to read as possible.Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品)for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.Reading can bring us great pleasure.
小题1:在(1)处空白处填上适当的词使句义完整、上下文通顺。_______ _________
小题2:将(2)句译成中文 ________________________________________________
小题3:回答问题:How many reasons for reading books does the text mention?_________________
小题4:在文中找出You can enjoy yourself after studying for months.同意句。__________________
小题5:在文中找出最能表达该短文主题的句子。______________________________
