Who cares if money can’t buy you love? But it can still be your best friend forever．That’s one of the surprising findings in a new research paper, “The Power of Money”，published in me journal Psychological Science．

Like any best friend forever，money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us，reduce our sense of social exclusion and even reduce life’s painful moments．

“I was surprised” says Katherine Vohs，one of the researchers and professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management．“The findings were surprising because no one had connected the meaning of money to pain．The money wasn’t buying the subjects more friends；it was only psychologically helpful.”

In the research ,students were told they would be participating in a test of finger dexterity(敏捷度)．One group was given some paper money to count，while the other group was given blank pieces of paper．Once the counting was complete, all the test subjects were asked to dip their fingers into bowls of water heated to 122 degrees—roughly the temperature of a very hot bath．

Result? Those who had been counting money reported less pain than those who had not．Subjects also were asked about their feelings．Those who handled actual money reported feeling stronger even 10 minutes after they put down the cash．

Combined with previous experiments，the findings confirmed what researchers have long doubted，that money acts as a general panacea(万能药)in the brain，giving us social self-confidence and reducing physical pain without having to spend a dime on aspirin．

But can we get the same effect by using credit cards? “No，credit cards do not have the same effect，” Vohs says．“They are scary for most people，and they in fact represent debt m many ways．”The findings could have an interesting effect in the business world, where recent trends have been to issue non-monetary rewards and bonuses instead of what was thought of as “cold, hard cash”．

1.The underlined word “soothe” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“____________” .

A．encourage   B．remind     C．calm  D．trust

2.What’s Katherine Vohs’s attitude towards the result of the study?

A．He found it totally unexpected．

B．He had no doubt about it．

C．He thought it needed further experiments．

D．He thought it was not convincing．

3.What do we know about the students involved in the study?

A．They were divided into two groups according to their ages．

B．One group was given paper money while the other was given coins．

C．They were holding the money while dipping fingers into hot water．

D．Both groups were asked to dip fingers into hot water．

4.We can 1earn from the passage that_________．

A．the effect of money can only last until we put it down

B．money is both psychologically and socially helpful to us

C．the result of the research hasn’t been confirmed（证实） by experts

D．credit cards have the same effect on us as money

5.The last paragraph suggests that___________．

A．the recent trend in the business world is to give cash as rewards

B．employers should give non-monetary rewards to employees

C．cash is a better way to reward employees than credit cards

D．more and more employees prefer non-monetary rewards to cash

A: Taking care of yourself is not being selfish. By caring enough to treat your body well, you will be in better shape to take care of those around you. No one can take care of your health except yourself;

B: Believe in yourself and your ability. Have a “can-do” attitude. Make a list of successful changes that you have made in the past. It is easier to achieve a goal when you are optimistic. Use humor and laugh off occasional lapses (过失). Have confidence that you can get back on track with your healthy routine.

In 2000, Jodi had a lot going on: Not only was she working, but she was taking care of her husband, Kevin, who was suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease (重症肌无力). Being a caretaker is never easy, and on one afternoon after Labor Day, her brother decided to cheer her up.

“While a day at the beach sounded great, it was too much to ask from Kevin. A day at the beach was like running a marathon—an extraordinary event. It would mean having help with us, keeping the wheelchair and medical equipment free of water and sand, it would mean keeping Kevin cool and comfortable, and it would mean a tough day for everyone involved. After work, I got home and I saw my brother’s car. After asking me to wait before coming in, he covered my eyes with a scarf and took my hand. Once inside, he asked me to sit down and then took off my shoes and socks. My foot landed on something cool. I soon realized that my toes were sinking into sand. It was a beautiful morning and the sand felt cool and welcoming under my feet. Still blindfolded, Jamie then guided me to sit down on a towel. Then he sat behind me and held me in his arms. Seagulls flew in front of me. Mists of water touched my face.

‘Here you go’, said my brother, handing me a hot latte. We sat there, not needing to say anything. He embraced me while I sipped my coffee. What a miracle of love! I hadn’t made it to the beach but my brother had brought the beach to me! It was the nicest thing that anyone had ever done for me. For 15 minutes, until Kevin woke and needed care as usual, I was at the beach. When this was over, my brother gently removed my blindfold. Now I could see where I really was. The patio (平台) was covered in sand. A CD player gave the sounds of the ocean. He had supported the hose on a bucket and the water was set to mist.

With my eyes open, the beach was gone. But that memory, that sincere gesture of love and hope, kept me happy for a long time.”

1.Which of the following made a day at the beach beyond reach?

A. The terrible weather.

B. Economic pressures.

C. A lack of a wheelchair.

D. Kevin’s physical condition.

2.The underlined word in paragraph 3 may refer to the brand of _____.

A. dessert B. coffee

C. snacks D. tea

3.What do we learn about Kevin?

A. He was mentally disabled.

B. He was crazy about the beach.

C. He was used to taking a nap in the day.

D. He planned a day at the beach for Jodi.

4.In Jodi’s eyes, her brother was _______.

A. strong and optimistic

Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of a loved one.

It may be hard to believe at first, but finally you can use this experience as your advantage—to find another, perhaps even better job, to strengthen your relationship with your family, and to make some much-needed changes in your life. Here are three essential steps.

Step1 Get emotional support. Because it’s easy to feel uneasy and vulnerable（脆弱), turning to others is the key to making a smooth transition(过渡). You’ll need people who will listen and provide a safe place for you to cry, or to express your fears and concerns.

Don’t go it alone. It takes courage to ask for help, and yet, help may be what you need most to move forward.

Step2 Seek professional guidance. Getting assistance from a recruiter（招聘人员) or career adviser will not only help you value your experience and improve your skills, it also will ensure that you put your best foot forward. Once again, your local unemployment office should have helpful resources.

If possible, try not to let fear cause you to grab the first new job you’re offered (unless it’s the right one). Give yourself time to explore different choices.

Step3 Consolidate family ties. Meet with family members to openly discuss your feelings. Listen carefully without interrupting one another, and give everyone a turn to speak. When a man I know did this with his family, his wife agreed to leave the job search planning to him and his outplacement adviser. In turn, he agreed to keep her informed about the process on a weekly basis. When you keep the lines of communication open, you can build stronger relationships.

Once you’ve got a new job, create your own security. Keep your resume up-to-date, stay in touch with recruiters about the job market, and constantly improve your skills to stay marketable in your field.

Although being laid-off can turn your life upside down, many people say that it gave them push they needed to start a new life!

1.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To ask the family for help.

B. To stay in touch with recruiters in your field.

C. To deal with the hurt from losing a job.

D. To keep your resume up-to-date.

2.The underlined title “Consolidate family ties” probably means “________”.

A. find another better job for your family

B. strengthen your relationship with your family

C. make some much-needed changes in your family

D. create your own security to your family

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Losing a job is stressful but is not so painful as the loss of a loved one.

B. Turning to others is the main key to obtaining deepest sympathy.

C. Asking for a career adviser will help you and improve your skills.

D. Keeping the lines of communication open can end your relationships.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author is most likely to ____________.

A. be a life coach

B. be a keeper of family ties

C. memorize his or her loved one

D. work in an employment agency
