1、江苏高中英语任务型阅读5 篇一 .任务型阅读(2014 淮安调研 )You say you want to be alone? Think again. Researchers have found that older people with fewer human contacts are more likely to die even if theyre happy in their isolation (孤立状态 ) than people with richer social lives. The study adds to the debate over whether lonel

2、iness, social isolation, or some combination of the two leads to higher death rate. Social isolation is an objective condition in which people have little communication with others. Loneliness, on the other hand, is an emotional state felt by people who are dissatisfied with their social connections

3、. To find out the effects of being alone versus (比对 ) just feeling lonely, Steptoe of University College London and his colleagues examined data from 6,500 Britons aged 50 and up who had filled out questionnaires evaluating their levels of loneliness. The most socially isolated subjects had a 26% gr

4、eater risk of dying, even when sex, age, and other factors linked to survival were taken into account, the researchers report online today. They then made changes about their model to determine whether the connection to death was due to the fact that isolated people are often lonely. It wasnt. The r

5、esearchers then explored the connection between loneliness itself and death. Intense loneliness also appeared to raise the risk of death by 26% until the team took into account a host of other factors linked to survival, including wealth, education, and the presence of health problems. Once their im

6、pact had been explained, the scientists discovered that loneliness on its own didnt make people more vulnerable ( 脆弱的 ) to death. The researchers suspect that older people who have few social ties may not be getting the care they need. No one is urging them to eat right or take their medicine, and i

7、n a crisis no one is there to help. Other researchers praise the new work as rigorous (严密的 ) and well- controlled. But they say its far from clear that social isolation, not loneliness, is always the real cause of increased death rate. Other studies, including an analysis of older Americans led by J

8、ohn Cacioppo, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, have shown a link between loneliness and a higher death rate. Cacioppo suspects that the disagreement between his study and the new research could lie with cultural differences between Steptoes British subjects and Americ

9、ans, and that Britons and Americans may define friends differently, too. Health psychologist Bert Uchino of the University of Utah praises the new study, but he says that researchers are still far from understanding how those two factors affect one another and other health-related behaviors. 精品资料 -

In what kinds of situations are you most effective? What

14、factors strengthen or weaken your motivation? People answer these questions in many different ways. Now studies show us a way of grouping people into types on the basis of personality nature that does predict performance: promotion focus or prevention focus. 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下

15、载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 9 页 - - - - - - - - - - Motivational focus affects how we approach lifes challenges and demands. Promotion- focused people see their goals as creating a path to gain or advancement and concentrate on the rewards that will accumulate when they achieve them. They are

16、eager and they play to win. Youll recognize promotion-focused people as those who are comfortable taking chances, who like to work quickly, who dream big and think creatively. Unfortunately, all that chance taking, speedy working, and positive thinking makes these individuals more likely to make mis

17、takes, less likely to think things through and usually unprepared with a plan B if things go wrong. Thats a price they are willing to pay, because for the promotion- focused, the worst thing is a chance not taken, a reward unearned, a failure to advance. The promotion-focused are likely to find “ ar

18、tistic and investigative” careers, as musicians, copywriters, inventors, and consultants. These tend to be think- outside-the-box jobs, in which people are rewarded for creative thinking, and being practical isnt emphasized. Prevention-focused people, in contrast, see their goals as responsibilities

19、. They worry about what might go wrong if they dont work hard enough or arent careful enough. They are cautious and play to not lose, to hang on to what they have, to maintain the status quo (现状 ). They often try to stay safe, so their work is more thorough, accurate, and carefully considered. To su

20、cceed, they work slowly and carefully. They arent usually the most creative thinkers, but they may have excellent analytical (分析的 ) and problem-solving skills. While the promotion- minded bring lots of ideas, good and bad, it often takes someone prevention- minded to tell the difference between the

21、two. Studies show that prevention- focused individuals are likely to take up what organizational psychologists call “ conventional and realistic” work, as administrators, bookkeepers, accountants, technicians, and manufacturing workers. These occupations require knowledge of rules and regulations, c

22、areful performance, and a propensity (癖好 ) for thoroughness they are jobs in which attention to detail is what really pays off. Although everyone is concerned at various times with both promotion and prevention, most of us have a dominant ( 占支配地位的 ) motivational focus. It affects what we pay attenti

It determines our strengths and weaknesses, both personally and professionally. 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 3 页，共 9 页 - - - - - - - - - - 三 .任务型阅读(2014 苏州五市四区高三月考) Goals are the guides all through

24、 our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focu

25、s on our present situation. Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We dont take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our at

26、tention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but w

27、ill watch others achieve our goal instead. What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our cur

28、rent job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our

29、 current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give

Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and benef

Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicatin g with their “host parents”， who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the local way of life

38、, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation

39、 can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost. The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. One problem is that the majority o

On the other hand, students expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ev
