AMany people turn to doctors or self－help books，but they ignore a powerful thing that could help them fight illnesses: their friends.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in 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 2014 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 (关系) could improve brain health as we age.“In general，the role of f riendship in our lives isn’t well realized,” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women，some research shows that it can do good to men, too. In a six－year study of 736 middle－aged men，having friendships reduces the risk of heart attack. Only smoking was as important a risk factor (因素) as having little social support.The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn't entirely clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine，the advantages go well beyond physicalhelp. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen，a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”21. The three studies in Paragraph 2 show that ________．A. old people need friends the mostB. friends can help us lose weightC. social ties are connected to healthD. more friends make us healthier22. Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined word “obesity” in Para. 2?A. Fatness.B. Unhappiness.C. Excitement.D. Health.23. What do Rebecca’s words in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Friendship is more important to women than to men.B. What people need most is a friend’s care.C. Friendship is more important than family relationship.D. The value of friendship hasn’t been fully understood.24. What would be the best title of the text?A. Friends Are the Best MedicineB. Friends Are as Important as a FamilyC. Having Good Friends Leads to a Better LifeD. Friendship Clearly has a big physical helpBTeacher trainingThe UCL(University College London) Institute of Education (IOE) has been providing first-class teacher education, in partnership with schools and colleges in the London region for over 100 years. Centrally located in London, we are England’s only university devoted to education and are the first choice for many students wishing to become teachers.Outstanding reputationThe IOE’s initial teacher education (ITE) partnership is recognised by Ofsted as “outstanding”in every criterion across primary, secondary and further education (FE). Ofsted found that the IOE produces consistently good, and often outstanding, newly qualified teachers who significantly enhance education in London schools and colleges and contribute to the risingachievement of learners.Leading centre for teacher educationWe train more than 1,500 student teachers every year.We have the UK’s biggest range of teacher training courses.We offer training placements with 600 schools and colleges in Greater London.Excellent employ abilityOur graduates are highly sought after. 95% of them were employed as teachers within the first six months of them completing their programme in 2012.Find a courseStudy with us full-time or part-time, on our:· PGCE Primary courses, to teach pupils aged 5-11· PGCE Secondary courses, to teach pupils aged 11-16 or 14-19·PGCE Post-compulsory courses, to teach learners of all ages over 14, studying in FE colleges, sixth form colleges, prisons, health centres, community centres, PRUs, workplaces, adult education institutes, independent training providers, etc.25.

A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other pe ople’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make theneeded changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for his act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine (daily) work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that they can’t find the way to get to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.28. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ______.A. listening to the advice of grown-ups.B. asking adults many questions.C. making mistakes and having them corrected.D. doing as other people do by themselves.29. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A. Tell the children what is wrong with their work as often as possible。
