For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress（22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though, further stresswill only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your life. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___31___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the____32___ that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33____and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values ___39____ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to （41）our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely（43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44）to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear that your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not （46）would probably stop your trying．And that would be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dream．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable（51） we sometimes think．There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our （52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the（53） opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we （55） the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper．41．A．simplify B．challenge C．eliminate D．maintain 42．A．possessed B．trusted C．objected D．missed 43．A．reject B．preserve C．deny D．share 44．A．willing B．sorry C．reluctant D．ready 45．A．success B．knowledge C．profession D．investment 46．A．devoted B．talented C．concerned D．interested 47．A．obstacle B．excuse C．chance D．principle48．A．important B．fixed C．changeable D．stimulating 49．A．enhance B．reserve C．release D．follow 50．A．energy B．hobby C．expense D．belief 51．A．guide B．ability C．goal D．policy 52．A．aim B．faith C．task D．dream 53．A．unacceptable B．strange C．unbelievable D．common 54．A．questioning B．understanding C．interpreting D．believing 55．A．stick to B．lead to C．free up D．leave outSection B（11×2=22分）Directions: Read the following three passages.

These programs take longer to complete.Business is one of the most popular areas of study for foreign students in the United States. To be admitted to an MBA programs, foreign students must show a clear understanding of English by taking the TOEFL test. All students must also take theGraduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Safety Department.（C）Talking to human-like devices can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time w hen they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If som eone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personalconnections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that________.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect”in Paragraph 7 refers to the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on realsocial interaction.C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their currentrelationships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improvetheir products.Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally havemore than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I. Translation（3+3+4+5=15分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words givenin the brackets.71. 据说他不久就要被提升为总经理。

Research papers B．News reports．C．Private e﹣malls． D．Daily conversations．10．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？A．They're socially inactive．B．They're good at telling stories．C． They're careful with their wordsD．They're inconsiderate of others．11．Which tended to be the most e﹣mailed according to Dr。

（每小题2分，15小题共30分）AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addam s to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) bycreating shelters and promoting education and services for people in n eed. In 1931, Addams becamethe first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might n ot exist today.Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects ofchemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O'Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford La w School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because s he was a woman. She became Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'C onnor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 y ears on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not g ive up herseat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lastedfor more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.1. What is Jane Addams noted（提及） for in history?A: Her social work. B: Her teaching skills.C: Her efforts to win a prize. D: Her community background.2. What was the reason for O'Connor's being rejected（拒绝） by the law firm?A: Her lack of proper training in law. B: Her little work experience in court.C: The discrimination against women. D: The poor financial conditions.3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?A: Jane Addams. B: Rachel Carson.C: Sandra Day O'Connor. D: Rosa Parks.4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A: They are highly educated. B: They are truly creative.C: They are pioneers. D: They are peace-lovers.BIt's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!The male giant water bug doesn’t seem to mind a heavy load on his back for hiskids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39° C. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!5.What do we know about the giantwater bug?A．It is unable to fly.B．The eggs grow on the father's back.C．The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.D．The female looks after her eggs together with the male.6.

What is the best title for the text?A．Mr. Moms in the WildB．Animals Do Have FeelingsC．Nature Loves Us like Our DadD．Childbirth in the Animal Kingdom8. What does the underlined wo rd “tends” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Waits forB. Forgets aboutC. Takes care ofD. Loses control ofCWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some otherthe warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it isusually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she ha s a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get tothe place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights.A. complain personally to the managerB. threaten to take the matter to courtC. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD. show some written proof of the purchase to the storeA. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.B. Threaten to take the seller to court.C. Make polite and general statements about the problem.D. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.11. The phrase “live up to” in this context means ________.A. meet the standard ofB. realize the purpose ofC. fulfill the demands ofD. keep the promise of12. The passage tells us ________.A. how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC. how to avoid buying a faulty itemD. how to deal with complaints from customersDPeople are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself can be a good choice, which can help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale, it does not necessarily have to be.If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. So marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself!The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.Marketing yourself is a useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary ways that you carry out. The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.To reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others. When you market yourself, youtell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message.In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing. Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!13. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Marketing yourself is a business.B. The subject of marketing yourself.C. The ways of marketing yourself.D. The problems of marketing yourself.14.In order to market yourself well, you can do these things EXCEPT ______.A. be open to othersB. praise yourselfC. wear appropriatelyD. have a brief and clear message15.From the passage, we can infer that people good at marketing themselves mustbe______.A. communicativeB. humorousC. hardworkingD. beautifulFour simple ways to stay positiveTrying to stay positive，both in good times and bad，is a great way to improve your quality of life．Try these four methods on a daily basis．(1) Don't think a lot about negativity．Of course．Staying positive 24 hours a day，seven days a week is a bit difficult．Letting things get to you is normal，and it's actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while．It's when those negative moments control your life that yourin your day．What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside．Fill yourself with good，healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking．Exercise is equally of great importance．Take a few days out of your week(3) Be kind to others．19 Making someone's day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face．but also yours as well．Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect．Good deeds are contagious （传染的），and your positive attitude may spread among others．(4) Take it one day at a time．Being positive isn't an instant thing．It's a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day． 20 Instead，focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better．A．Eat healthy and stay fit．B．Take your lunch breaks outside．C．Don't worry about what the future may bring．D．Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times．E．Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness．F．Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened．G．Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood．二．完形填空（共40分）第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出能填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Put an advertisement for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.Rent（出租）a roomSpare room Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500 you make per year.

If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.BDanielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write onebook at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times bestselling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the reallife problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her was shot to the top of the New York Times bestselling list as soon as it came out. Twentyeight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her books being the Times bestseller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by email. While she is often compared to the heroines（女主人公）of her own invention. Her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的）style. There is only one Danielle Steel.25．Children who have read “Max and Martha” pictu re books may know ________.A．how to deal with affairs at schoolB．what to do if Max and Martha dieC．what to do when new babies are born into their familiesD．how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes 26．One of Danielle Steel' s achievements is that ________.A．some TV plays were based on her booksB．her picture books attracted a lot of young menC．one of her books became a bestseller in 1998D．she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records27．We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.A．lives an exciting life B．values her readers a lotC．writes about quiet women D．is pleased with her achievementsCHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers（移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussedtelephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.28.

Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy，the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said，“Wha teverthe reason is，actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness.”Dr.Tunney，of Nottingham University，quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy.In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends，according to the study，which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票)．For women，this meant having 33 friends；for men，the number was 49. Dr.Tunney said，“People who were extremely satisfied with their li ves had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships.Interestingly，the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners，however，have a different opinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time. 32．What’s the best title for this passage?A．The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New FriendsB．Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People HappyC．Why Most People Like to Make Friends RegularlyD．Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different33．Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?A．People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.B．Our friends can make us happy.C．Happiness may come from a good marriage life.D．We may become happier if we have more friends.34．According to the passage，lottery winners ________.A．enjoy making new friendsB．make new friends easilyC．like staying with old friendsD．have no time to make friends35．We can conclude from the passage that ________.A．it’s enough for one person to have ten friendsB．unhappy people must have few friendsC．childhood friends make people happier than adulthood onesD．friendships play a major role in people’s life第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
