Stress caused by social situations, such as giving a speech or going to a job interview, can affect some people’s immune system in ways that harm their health, researchers have found.
The study included 124 volunteers who were purposely put into embarrassed social situations. Those who showed greater neural (神經(jīng)) sensitivity to social rejection also had greater increases in inflammatory (炎癥) activity when exposed to social stress.
“It turns out there are important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations,” lead author George Slavich, at the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a UCLA news release.
“For example,” he explained, “we sometimes see giving a speech in front of an audience as a welcomed challenge; other times, it’s threatening and sad. In this study, we sought to examine the neural bases for these differences in response and to understand how these differences relate to biological processes that can affect human health and well-being.”
The findings provide “further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected. We have known for a long time that social stress can get under the skin to increase risk for disease, but it’s been unclear exactly how these effects occur. As we know, this study is the first to identify the neurocognitive (神經(jīng)認(rèn)知) pathways that might be involved in inflammatory responses to sharp social stress,” Slavich said.
Increases in inflammatory activity are part of the immune system’s natural response to potentially harmful situations, but “frequent or chronic (慢性的) activation of the system may increase the risk for a variety of illnesses,” Slavich added.
The study was released online Aug. 2 in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
1. Where do you first find the study?
A. A magazine. B. A website. C. A literature. D. An advertisement.
2. Judging from volunteers, might be more likely to have inflammation.
A. those who were more sensitive to social rejection
B. those who were purposely put into society
C. those who gave a speech before audience
D. those who suffered frequent or chronic illness
3. The author quotes examples of the fourth paragraph mainly to .
A. show further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected
B. prove important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations
C. explain volunteers are sensitive to social rejection when exposed to social stress
D. make clear that how stress caused by social situations breaks down immune system
4. We can infer that if there is inflammatory response in people’s immune system.
A. chronic illness will be caused by the repeated stress
B. doctors can identify the neurocognitive pathways
C. people may avoid being affected by sharp social stress
D. risk of getting various diseases will be reduced

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit(追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(發(fā)起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor(市長) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem came up in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
66.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To involve people in community service.
C.To encourage people to read and share.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.
67.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A.They came from many different backgrounds.
B.They were too busy to read a book.
C.They had little interest in reading.
D.They lacked support from the local government.
68.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A.In large communities with little sense of unity.
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.
D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
69.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean .
A.exchanged ideas with each other B.discussed the meaning of a word
C.gained life experience D.used the same language
70.According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by .
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the number of people who benefit from reading
C.the growing popularity of the writers
D.the number of books that each person reads

Today, the world is rapidly urbanizing.With half of the world population expected to live in cities by the early part of the 21st century, the Shanghai 2010 World Expo's focus on a better city bears profound meaning.
What might future cities look like 28 years from now? Here are some scenarios: things to come, things to go.
Zero waste
Waste disposal is one of the biggest headaches for cities.Apart from recyclable waste, everything is buried or incinerated, only to pollute the environment.Plastic waste remains underground for several decades.The world produces much more garbage that it can dispose of.
Now at the Expo, all waste is delivered to a compression station where the waste is sorted, filtered, decontaminated, deodorized and compressed before finally being disposed of at designated spots.In Beijing, people living in the Asuwei area turn their household waste into organic fertilizers which are used to grow plants at residence communities.
No more transportation problems during Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese.More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making obtaining travel tickets and the journey difficult.
But in 28 years.Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all.China plans to have more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a rapid transportation network that will serve 90 percent of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so migration will no longer be so large-scale.
Newspapers to disappear
American scholar Philip Meyer predicts that newspaper will come to an end in 2043.Utagawa Reizou, former editor-in-chief of The Mainichi Daily News.believes that the newspaper will be gone in 2030.This kind of prediction may worry those in print news business.In the U.K., the circulations of national newspapers are declining.Major Japanese newspapers have gone into debt.In the US, declining circulations and ad revenues have forced several newspapers to stop printing paper
Editions

Oil to run out
In August 2009, Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, said that oil is running out faster than expected and that the world will likely feel the tightness in supply in the next five years.Scientists have found substitutes for oil as fuel,coal,natural gas,solar power, nuclear power and even water can replace oil as sources of energy.Flammable ice reserves alone can support humans for the next 1,000 years.
