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). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off （挡开）illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. 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. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support — financial aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
1)、 46. Interpersonal relationships are important because ______. A. A. they are indispensable to people\ B. B. they waken people\
C. C. they help people to cope with life in the information era
D. D. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc. 2)、 47. Research shows that people\ A. A. relies on the help they get form others
B. B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others C. C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
D. D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives

B. B. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes C. C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable
D. D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles 阅读理解题(单选） 55、 Passage 4
Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors（流星）but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food, which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed（畸形的）children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys; the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
1)、 58. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ______. A. A. is insignificant B. B. seems overestimated C. C. is enormous
D. D. remains unknown
2)、56. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ______. A. A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space B. B. it provides sufficient light for plant growth C. C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival D. D. it screens off the falling meteors 3)、
57. We know from the passage that ______. A.
A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B. B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming C. C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D. D. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

4)、 59. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. A. the Apollo mission was very successful
B. B. protection from space radiation is no easy job
C. C. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D. D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
