supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life: their friends.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age."In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn't well appreciated," said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. "There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological well-being than family relationships."Bella DePaulo, a visiting psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.It isn't entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. It may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels.Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone.The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared."People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to," said Karen A. Roberto, director of the center for gerontology(老年医学) at Virginia Tech." Friendship is an undervalued resource. The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better."1.

The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and getting important information. But do not overdo it. 1.____________ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work.(2)On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 2. ____________ Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. 3. ____________ It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to deal with, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. 4.____________ Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical(陈腔滥调) answers.(3)Try not to look at those around you, or at the clock. If you do need something else to focus on to help collect thoughts, choose the ceiling or anything else that will not draw your attention away. Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 5. ____________A. Getting all the information in one day is not necessary.B. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.C. Go and have a good rest, then prepare for your next exam.D. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question done on paper.E. When you get home, look up the new words in the paper and prepare for your next exam.F. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can spread, and you may suffer from panic.G. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）1 ; most students don’t.
