Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.

Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don't want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and protected against the symptoms(症状）of depression and loneliness.

Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men while men are more likely to have a "fight or flight” reaction. Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically (心理上）_, friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the differ­ence in the length of one's life time.

1.In the author's opinion, a real friend should________ .

A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it

B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly

C．judge your decision according to his, her experience

D．give you advice but respect your own decision

2.Women benefit more from friendship than men because________.

A．women are always cared for by more people than men

B．women are usually less stress-out when staying with others

C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help

D．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men

3.According to the passage we can infer that ________.

A．it's good for women to tell men what they should do or not

B．friends are always more important than family members

C．men don't want to share their problems with many people

D．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed

4.This passage mainly talks about________.

A．why people should develop friendship

B．when friendship affects people's health

C．people’s different attitudes towards friendship

D．the friendship which can make people live longer

It was a bad time for me . I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against.

That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. “Wow !” I thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied,” You look like you’ve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!

Watching him go, I also looked at the bus－load of people between me and his seat. He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

That’s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

1.Why did the young woman offer her seat to the writer?

A. Because she thought the writer looked very old.

B. Because the writer looked very friendly.

C. Because the writer looked humorous.

D. Because the writer looked exhausted.

2.What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 3 ?

A. He was an acquaintance of the writer.

B. He felt familiar with the writer.

C. He might took drugs heavily.

D. He lacked confidence in life.

3.The underlined words “this stranger” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to“　　　　 .”

A. the young woman　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 B. one passenger

C. the writer　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 D. the driver

4.Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

A. Unusual Appearance Interests Strangers.

B. Meet Them Where They Live.

C. Small Talks Make a Difference.

D. Accept What They Are.

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

My father and I have been separated for over two years. He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.

How he would hold my fringe (刘海) back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school. How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had published, even during our many estranged (疏远) periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.

Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia (厌食症), my cutting, my anxiety, my depression... He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.

I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, then three, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.

When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in 1930s America during the Depression, he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but my mother said he didn’t want to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?

It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand, far too warm, and ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was conscious, though it’s hard to say the words: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement. And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a father to me when I was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is dying estranged from his daughter.

I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasise that his eyes will open, and that he will be conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the letter, I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.

1.The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ______.

A.Father’s cruelty towards the daughter

B.Father’s irresponsibility for the family

C.the daughter’s protection of her kid from harm

D.the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father

2.Father rejected his daughter’s offer to get in touch with him because ______.

A.he was too ashamed to face his daughter

B.he couldn’t support his daughter any more

C.he couldn’t pardon his daughter’s ignorance

D.he was content to live away from his daughter

3.The author’s father can be described as ______.

A.generous, cold and stubborn B.strict, caring and stubborn

C.generous, strict and inconsiderate D.caring, cold and inconsiderate

4.What message does the author want to convey in the underlined part?

A.The granddaughter will break the family chain to live freely.

B.The previous way of family education will no longer continue.

C.There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.

D.Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.

5.What might be the best title of the passage?

A.East or west, home is best B.A good medicine tastes bitter

C.It’s no use crying over spilt milk D.Where there is life, there is hope

Telling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally. Anita E. Kelly, study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, employed 110 adults for her study. She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10 weeks. Lies included big ones and tiny ones—any false statements—but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth, keep secrets and avoid questions they didn’t want to answer, etc. The other group wasn’t given any special instructions about lying.

It turned out that both groups reduced their lying, but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more. "We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies. That in turn was associated with significantly improved health," said Kelly.

When participants in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced, on average, fewer mental-health complaints and physical complaints. They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. They also reported that personal relationships improved. Additionally, participants found themselves honest about their daily accomplishments, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task, for example.

" It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way,” says University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert Feldman. “That would be beneficial. I'm a little doubtful whether it makes us all healthier, but it may make us healthier in a psychological way."

1.The participants of the two groups 　　　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. told as many lies as before　　 B. were almost equally healthy

C. tended to lie less about their activities　　 D. experienced tenser personal relationships

2.From Robert Feldman, we can learn that 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. white lies might make people have more complaints

B. honesty is likely to help people become mentally healthier

C. people should not be honest with others but with themselves

D. telling the truth can make people physically and mentally healthy

3.The text is mainly about 　　　　　　　　 .

A. the connection of honesty and health　　 B. research on physical and mental health

C. advice on being an honest person　　 D. effects of honesty on personal relationships
