Unit 4课下题型练（四）Writing an ending to a storyI .阅读理解When you feel like everyone around you is having more fun and spending more time with friends, it can make you feel bad about yourself - even if it's not true.A study published by Whillans and her colleagues on Thursday found that 48 percent of college freshmen in their second semester at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver believed that their friends had made more friends than they had since school began.31 percent felt the opposite.a Since social activities, like eating or studying with others, tend to happen in cafes and libraries where they are easily seen, students might overestimate （过高估计）how much their friends are socializing because they don，t see them eating and studying alone, “ says Frances Chen, the study's senior author and an assistant professor in the UBC psychology department.A second, smaller study they published at the same time indicates that feeling left out made the students pretty unhappy.This was surprising, Whillans says, because many high-achieving people i e.the ones most likely going to college believe they* re better equipped than their peers to handle challenges.But when peers appear to be doing better socially, that can contribute to feelings that there，s something wrong with us.Greg Walton, a psychologist at Stanford University, studies how to correct the belief that we are alone in our fears of being left out.His work focuses on helping minority students who are underrepresented （代表性不足）in STEM fields to overcome their own fears that they don，t belong, and has showed that doing so helps them improve academically and healthwise.He says Whillans' study indicates that a lot of people could benefit from things like having older students share stories of how they felt left out socially as freshmen, or encouraging teachers to put criticism of students' work in a more positive way.He says, “Everybody starts in different places.lf s critical （in college） to explore and Hnd new communities and places and new ways to develop.Sometimes that goes faster and sometimes that goes slower/9话篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。很多大二新生都有孤独感，认为同龄人比自己交的朋友多。 Whillans教授及其同事对这一课题进行了研究。1.
