A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 37 . It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for 38 friendship to 39 . However, there can be 40 disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want. To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our 41 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 42 at arm's length? Do we want to 43 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 44 enoughand that' s all right. But at some point we need to 45 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of 46 experience 47 our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it 48 be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are 49 of interest and action in return. What are some of the 50 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 51 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships 52 actions in return. In 53 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of.

Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked. Dr Adele Juda studied 5, 000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate （比例） of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects. Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it. Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric （精神病的） patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group. Also, the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes. But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution （进化） has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race. Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.  56. Which of the following statements is NOT true？  A. Among the 5, 000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population.  B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.  C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.  D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.  57. What is the writer's attitude toward madness？  A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.  B. A little creative madness is good for us all.  C. All the talented people are mad. D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity. 58.Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that _.  A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems  B. the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group  C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people  D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness  59. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of mental illness？  A. Painters. B. Musicians. C. Poets. D. Bus drivers. 60. The underlined phrase "made a breakthrough" in the 4th paragraph means "_".  A. discover or find something new and important  B. make a way through using force  C.（of the sun or moon ） appear from behind （clouds）  D. suddenly change （from a slower to a faster pace） BA Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life.But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said, “It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues？”61Whats the result of the research mentioned in the text? A. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life. B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life. C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life. D. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.62It was found in the research that_. A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out B. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians C. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians63Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)_way. A. doubtfulB. favorableC. negativeD. objective64What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors. B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
