If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life，one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have.

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（叙旧，更新）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 assured 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 because you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）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 over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist 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.

You know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.

“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.

So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).

“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”

Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.

1.Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?

A. We waste too much time on phones.

B. Phones have become part of some users.

C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.

D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.

2.According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because　　　　 .

A. we are accustomed to having a phone on us

B. we need our phones to help us store information

C. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing

D. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble

3.Where can you probably find the above passage?

A. In a research report. B. In a fashion brochure.

C. In a science textbook. D. In a popular science magazine.

One major reason Americans don’t get enough exercise is that they feel they don’t have enough time. It can be difficult to squeeze in the 75 minutes of aerobic (有氧的) exercise per week that federal guidelines recommend.1..

In a new analysis of 14 studies, researchers tracked deaths among more than 232,000 people from the U.S., Denmark, the U.K. and China over at least five years, and compared the findings with people’s self-reports about how much they ran. People who said they ran any amount were less likely to die than those who didn’t run at all.2. This was true even for those who didn’t log a great deal of time. The analysis divided people into groups, with 50 minutes or less per week representing the group that ran the least―but still ran. ‘‘Regardless of how much you run, you can expect such benefits,” says Zeljko Pedisic, one of the authors of the new analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The analysis is the latest to illustrate the benefits of running on the human body. It’s what we evolved (进化) to do. 3. But as leisure-time exercise, running keeps us healthy. “One of the best ways to avoid having to see a doctor,” Zeljko says, “is to stay physically active.”

4. Running is good at guarding against cancer partly because it uses up blood sugar, starving the cancer cells that rely on it for fuel. And it protects you in other ways not necessarily measured in the latest research: by decreasing inflammation (炎症), for example, which is at the root of many diseases, and stimulating the production of a protein that improves brain health.

5. Neither were how often people ran and the pace they kept. As long as you’re running, more isn’t always better, especially given that the risk of injury increases with repetition.

A.People may no longer hunt wild animals for their next meal.

B.The physical demands of running affect our body in a beneficial way.

C.Some people run to prevent disease, and others run because it makes them feel better.

D.Runners were 27% less likely to die for any reason, compared with nonrunners.

E.But researchers point out, to infer something like that, they need the whole population measured.

F.But new research suggests people may be able to get life-lengthening benefits by running for far less time.

G.The good news is that running more than 50 minutes per week wasn’t linked to additional protections against dying.

In an adult’s opinion, sleep is a precious commodity. Usually we don’t feel as if we get enough sleep, which is something we are always longing for.1. For some reason, kids never acknowledge the feeling of “tiredness” as meaning “I need sleep”. What’s more, for many children, sleep represents an unwanted separation from the important people in their lives.2.

How do parents make the problem worse? I hear so many parents complain that they can’t get their children to go to sleep. Let’s take a close look at this concept. We cannot make a child go to sleep, but we can make them go to bed.3. If you even try to control a child’s ability to go to sleep, you are losing the battle before you begin. Even our children themselves cannot really control when they go to sleep. The most we as parents can do is to make the environment helpful to sleep.4.

It’s time that you decided what your own feelings are about bedtime and analyzed your feelings and needs, and your child’s feelings and needs. 5. The most important guideline is that you decide what you are going to do, and then stick with it. Parents usually create their own problems by dancing around and between all the different bedtime methods until they get themselves angry and their kids confused. So, the first step is to decide exactly how you will handle bedtime. The second step is to communicate your rules to your child. The third step is to carry out the plan.

A. Being in bed is too lonely, too boring, and no fun at all!

B. I’m going to give you three ideas for solutions

C. In kids’ opinion, sleep plays an important role in childhood.

D. There’s a big difference between the two.

E. Sleep will then come on its own.

F. Can you give me some examples to deal with kids’ problem?

G. But to kids, sleep is purely and simply an unwanted interruption in a life full of fun.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Four students at the University of Hefei, in eastern China, recently proved that you don’t have to spend a small fortune on a designer dress to look attractive. You can make it yourself, for free, using only plant leaves. Photos of the leaf dress have been posted on social media for about a week, and people still can't stop gushing (交口称赞) over them.

The team behind the unique dress ---two girls and two boys--- got the idea for it over six months ago, while trying to come up with an interesting project for the annual “Animal and Plant Specimen Contest” at the University of Hefei. During that time, the girls couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the dress worn by actress Zhang ziyi at the Cannes Festival looked, and one of them suggested they try to recreate it out of plant leaves.

They asked for their teacher’s advice, and even though he considered it difficult to succeed, they went with it anyway. After researching the best way to use plant leaves as fabric (衣料), and coming up with a design for their dress, they started collecting the leaves. Some species were readily available on campus, but others were not. So they had to travel to Tianzhu Mountain to collect them.

To ensure that the collected leaves didn’t shrivel orrot (枯萎或腐烂), they removed the flesh by boiling them in alkali and sodium carbonate solution (碱和碳酸钠溶液) for about two hours. They struggled to get the proportions of alkali and sodium carbonate and the boiling time just right, to ensure that the flesh could be easily removed without damaging the skeleton of the leaf. Through trial and error, and with their teacher’s guidance they were able to come up with a perfect formula (配方).

They could only work on their special dress after class and on weekends, so it took them nearly four months to complete. That’s a pretty long time, but it all paid off when one of the girls got to finally put on the leaf dress and show it off to everyone.

1.What's the best title for the passage?

A. Chinese students make a great achievement in science.

B. Chinese students make a nice dress for fashion.

C. Chinese students make a nice dress from leaves.

D. Chinese students make a nice dress with less money.

A. It is popular with users of social media.

B. They got the inspiration for it from their teacher.

C. Actress Zhang Ziyi gave them a lot of guidance on designing.

D. The annual “Animal and Plant Specimen Contest” required them to design it.

3.In order to complete their work, the four students ________.

A. persuaded their teacher to join them in collecting leaves

B. gave up the opportunity of attending the colleges annual contest

C. spent much of their school time in researching

D. collected leaves both on campus and on mountains

4.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?

A. It was hard for the four students to get the perfect formula.

B. The four students finally succeeded through their own efforts.

C. The four students’ work was mainly made of the plant leaves’ flesh.

D. The four students boiled the shriveled and rotten leaves to remove their flesh.

5.Which of the following words can best describe the four students?

A. Strong-willed but conservative.

B. Creative and determined.

C. Warm-hearted and ambitious.

D. Fortunate and helpful.
