Researchers who study relationships have discovered that a big difference between those who make new friends easily, and those who don’t, is that socially successful people tend to make eye contact with their conversation partners much more frequently than those who are less successful socially. In fact, you may be able to become much more socially successful by making this one simple change to your behavior.

Most Americans prefer to have a lot of eye contact when they are talking with someone. When a person doesn’t make eye contact with them, they tend to think that the person is hiding something or the person doesn’t believe in himself/herself.

When you are having a conversation and you want to leave a friendly impression, be sure to keep looking at that person frequently while you are talking. If it really bothers you to look directly into another person’s eyes, you can gaze generally at, not above, the eyebrow area or the bridge of the nose; this is close enough to the eye region that you will appear to be looking at the person’s eyes. But neither the hair or the shoulders have the same effect. Don’t stare at other people too intensely, otherwise, you will look aggressive(攻击性).

Keep the majority of your focus on the other person. If you glance around the room too much, or look too frequently at other people, your conversation partner may guess that you are looking around for someone else you would rather talk with.

You can lighten your nervousness by smiling more often, nodding, and by gazing at the entire face as well as the eyes. In addition, you can frequently look away for very short periods.

When people get the sense that you are really paying attention to them, they will be much more likely to want to have conversations with you!

1.Which of the following is NOT the impression left by those who don’t make eye contact during the talk?

2. Besides the eyes of the partner, during the talk, you can look at his/her ___________.

3. From the passage, we can learn that ____________________.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

Several recent studies have found that being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.

An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.

In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."

Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."

"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

1.What can we learn from some recent studies?

A. Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.

B. Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

C. Interracial lodging does more harm than good.

D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

2.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?

A. White students tend to look down upon their black peers.

B. Black students can compete with their white peers academically.

C. Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the        freshman year.

D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

3.What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?

A. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

B. Students of different races are required to share a room.

C. Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

D. Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

A recent study suggests that teens’ relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don’t get a good night’s sleep.

David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. He found that family dynamics (动态) have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens’ sleep.

And problems at school also affected teens’ sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good night’s sleep.

These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If we’re happy and contented, we’re much more likely to sleep better than if we’re sad and anxious.

Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. It’s a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.

Clearly, teenagers aren’t getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Teens’ sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.

B. Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences.

C. Modern technology has something to do with teens’ sleep problems.

D. It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.

2.According to Maume’s analysis, who will probably have a poor night’s sleep?

A. Teens who feel like talking with their parents.

B. Teens who have friends sharing their dreams.

C. Teens who feel contented about themselves.

D. Teens who lack a sense of security at school.

3.Para 5 functions as 　　　　　　　　 .

A. a comparison     B. an introduction        C. a conclusion        D. an addition

4.Parents are supposed to 　　　　　　　　 when their kids are growing up.

A. continue their broken marriage            B. allow children to decide when to sleep

C. limit teens’ using new technology        D. force teens to have 10 hours’ sleep daily
