decide if they could trust the statements said
with the non-native accents.When the study
participants heard the Australian or French
accents,blood flow increased to the part of the
brain that we use to process sound.They
seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more
carefully,or for a longer period of time to
make this decision about whether they truly
believed the speaker,especially when the
speaker sounded doubtful.When asked,the
participants reported not trusting either
Australian or French accents-except when the
statements were said confidently.It seems that
confidence speaks for itself.
l.What does the underlined word“it”in
Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A person's accent.
B.A person's identity.

Since we are social beings,the quality of
our lives depends in large measure on our
interpersonal relationships.One strength of the
human conditions is our possibility to give and
receive support from one another under
stressful(有压力的)conditions.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 deal with major life changes and daily
problems.People with strong social ties live
longer and have better health than those
without such ties.Studies over types of
illnesses,from depression to heart disease,
show that the presence of social support helps
people defend themselves against 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 in spite of 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.Taking part
in free-time activities with others helps us to
meet our social needs while at the same time
distracting(转移注意)us from our worries and
troubles.Finally,other people may give us
instrumental support -money aid,material
resources,and needed services-that reduces
stress by helping us resolve and deal with our
problems.
1.Interpersonal relationships are important
because they can
A.deal with life changes
B.smooth away daily problems
C.make people live more easily
D.cure types of illnesses
2.The researches show that people's physical
and mental health
A.has much to do with the amount of
support they get from others
B.lies in the social medical care systems
which support them
C.depends on their ability to deal with daily
worries and troubles
D.is related to their courage for dealing with
major life changes

or,is a big dream something that provides only
entertainment?Children dream big dreams,
but there are three barriers to realize dreams.
They often kill them before they ever have a
chance to grow
The Self.
Immediately following the birth of a big
dream,a negative self-talk takes over and gives
all the reasons why it cannot happen.This
inside voice is the ego(自我).It's there for
protecting and should be listened to.2
Most people are influenced by the inside voice.
That's why only a handful of people make their
dream come true.
3
Family and friends are a lot like the ego.
They want to protect those they love,so they
will often list all the reasons why the big
dreams won't come true.Sometimes,family
and friends destroy dreams of those they love
most,out of their own fear of being left
behind.
The World.
If one gets past the first two barriers,he
has to face the world.4 In the past,big
dreamers were locked up and sometimes even
killed when they were shown to the world.
Fortunately,in most of the world today,big
dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with
confidence and action.When children have
confidence and then take action,they will be
ready to accept any failure.The truth is that
every great dreamer whose dreams have never
