Friends of Friends 朋友的朋友
Back in 1967, social psychologist Stanley Milgram had an idea.时间追溯到1967年，社会心理学家斯坦利﹒米尔格伦有了这样一个想法。Everybody knows at least a few other people, 每个人至少都认识几个人。he reasoned, and those people know another people. 于是，他推论道，其他人也认识另外一些人。Therefore, just going through the people you know, you should be able to contact any person on earth.因此，通过你所认识的人，你就能够联系上地球上的任何人。
Milgram conducted experiments by sending letters to random acquaintances, asking them to pass the letter on through their friends to an unknown person. 斯坦利﹒米尔格伦做过一个实验，通过写信随机给他所认识的人，要求他们通过他们自己的朋友而把信件传递出去给陌生人。His experiments, confirmed later with e-mail tests, showed that we're all connected by no more than \"six degrees of separation\".他的这个实验后来经电子邮件检测并被证实：仅仅通过“六度分离理论”所有的人都是相联系的。That is, you can reach any person in the world through a chain of six people. 也就是说，经过六层人际关系纽带你可以联系任何人。
It might be comforting to know that your friend's friend's friend's friend's friend knows Bill
5
Gates or Jennifer Lopez通过你朋友的朋友的朋友的朋友, 你可以认识比尔﹒盖茨或詹尼佛﹒洛佩慈这样的名人。but it's not really that useful. 但事实上并不那样有用。Tracing the chain is time-consuming and inconvenient.梳理这条纽带既费时，又麻烦。
But that's changing now, thanks to the development of online databases.但是由于有了网上在线数据库，现在情况变了。 While many people use their PCs to keep track of their contacts and address books， new services like Friendster and Spoke combine these address books together. 许多人用自己的家用电脑保存了自己的联系人和通信录象交友对话与通讯录相结合的新的服务。This way you're not only in touch with your own-friends, but with their friends and their friends' friends.这样你不但能够和你的朋友联系，你还可以与朋友的朋友的朋友联系。 Looking for someone who works in marketing at Sony Music in Tokyo？你想找东京索尼 音乐部门搞销售的某个人吗？Going to Paris for the weekend and looking for someone to have dinner with? 到巴黎度周末并找某个人共进晚餐吗？Just check the Friendster files — there's sure to be a friend of a friend of a friend in there.就在交友文档中寻找，你肯定会找到你朋友的朋友的朋友。
So what's the catch? 那么，问题在于什么呢？ If you want to use Friendster or similar services, 如果你想使用“交友” 或类似的服务， you need to build a profile including your real name, where you work, your job, where you went to school and who your friends are. 你得先建立一个简单的文档，其中包括你的真实姓名，工作单位，你曾就读过的学校，你的朋友是谁。 This lack of anonymity might seem likely to scare users off, 这种非匿名文件可能会把一些使用者吓跑。but apparently people are hungry for contact with real people: 但是很明显，许多人都渴望与真名真姓的人联系。in less than nine months, Friendster has already signed up over four million users.在短短不到九个月的时间里，“交友”上就会有四百多万用户签名加入。

Many new students find it hard to do all the studying that has to be done; 许多新生觉得他们很难于对付他们必须学的所有的课程。they find themselves putting off required reading,他们对于必须的阅读课程束手无策。 jumping from one subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session.常常一会儿从一个题目跳到另一个题目，一会儿读这里一会儿又读那里。在某个学习阶段到底读什么很少有个准。 The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work.要克服这个难点，达到有效学习最好的办法是：计划好你的时间，安排好你要学的课程。 When to study（什么时候学习）
Let us assume that you have 15 hours per week of classes (lectures and tutorials)假设你每周你
7
的上课时间15个课时。（讲座，辅导在内） and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour working week (a reasonable figure, leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities). 你每周40小时学习（每周除了睡觉外你还有70小时从事其他的活动，所以这个数字是合理的）。You now have to decide how to allocate and occupy the remaining 25 hours of private study time.现在你搞定如何分配和利用你剩下的25小时的自学的时间。 Naturally the decisions you make will vary from week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. 自然的，根据要写某篇论文、要读某些东西，这个安排，每周会有不同。Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a seven-day timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working independently and the particular subjects that they will be studying on each occasion.列出一个每周的时间表并表示出本周内要独立做的事情，每周将学的某些学科的每个时间段，许多人感到这是非常有用的。 By checking such a plan at times during the week, you can see what work you have done and what you still have to do; the whole enterprise then becomes manageable. 在一周里随时对照时间表，你会发现你已经做了什么，你仍然得做什么；这样整个进程就可以掌控了。 Where to study 在什么地方学习
There are a number of places where you can study — college library, public library, lodgings, home, vacant classrooms, on a bus or train — and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages.有许多可供学习的地方— 学校的图书馆，公共图书馆，宿舍，家里，空教室，公共汽车，火车上，---- 当然，每个地方都有明显的优势和劣势。The college library is least busy in the evenings, on Wednesday afternoons, and all day Friday and Sunday.学校图书馆在晚上，星期三下午，星期五和星期天全天最安静
When you are deciding where to study, keep the following suggestions in mind: 你在选定学习地点时，请记住下面的建议：
* Always try to study in the same places. After a while the familiar surroundings will help you to switch into the right frame of mind as soon as you sit down.尽量坚持在同一个地方学习，因为很快你所熟悉环境有利于你一坐下就能进入良好的心态。
* Find somewhere with as few distractions as possible. 要找一个尽量不会使你分心的地方。
* Make sure that your study place has good light and is warm (but not too warm）and well-ventilated.务必要有一光线好，暖和（但不要太暖和）且通风的地方。 1） We know from the first paragraph that_________________.

Valentine’s Day情人节
February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday. 二月十四日是个复杂而又有趣的日子。First of all, Valentine's Day is not a holiday from work . 首先，情人节是一个不放假的节日。 No one gets a day off. 在这天谁也不休假。On Valentine's Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by.在情人节，人们通常都要向他们所爱的某个人，或向要从其得到爱的某个人送上非常浪漫的贺卡。 The
9
B) A place students are familiar with. D) A well-lighted place.
cards are called \"valentines\".这贺卡被称为“情人节贺卡” They are very colorful, often decorated with hearts, flowers or birds, and have humorous or loving words printed inside. 情人节贺卡非常漂亮，四边常常都饰有心形、花，以及小鸟图案，里面印有幽默、温馨示爱的话语。The basic message is always \"Be My Valentine\My Sweet Heart\" or \"Lover\".这些话语基本上是“做我的情人”“我的甜心” “爱人”等。 A valentine may be anonymous (匿名的) and is sometimes signed, \"Guess who\".送卡人可能是匿名的。有时署名是“猜猜我是谁” The person receiving it has to guess who sent it.收到贺卡的人就会去猜“这是谁送的呀？” This can lead to interesting speculation (揣测). 这样就会引起很多有趣的猜测。And that's half the fun of valentines.情人节有一半的趣味就在于此。 The loving message might be carried by a heart-shaped box of chocolate candies, 情人节贺卡也许会装在有巧克力糖的心形盒子里。or by a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbon.或者放在一束花里，这花得用红色的缎带捆着。But in whatever form, the message is the same \"Will you be my valentine?\" 而无论用哪种方式。它们所表达的信息只有一个“愿做我的情人吗？”
One of the symbols of St. Valentine's Day is the Roman god of Love; called Cupid.情人节的象征之一是罗马爱神—丘比特。 Cupid is often pictured on the card, as a winged infant not wearing any clothes, ready to shoot his arrow into a heart.丘比特常常被画在情人节贺卡上。 在贺卡上他被画成一个裸体的小婴儿，长有一对翅膀。He would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love immediately, 时时把爱情之箭射向一个人的心上使他、她即刻坠入爱河 maybe with the first person to come along. 若是俩人来，兴许射中的是第一个。Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together.有时一箭射穿两颗心，这样就成全这俩为一对。 On February 14th not only do we have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love but we also have pictures of the Christian St. Valentine. 在二月十四日这天，我们不仅要有非基督的丘比特罗马爱神的画，我们还要有圣·瓦仑丁的画。
It is from the Christians that we get the stories about Valentine's Day that most people have come to believe. 我们是从基督教传说中得到了许多有关情人节的故事。并且现在大多数人都相信这些故事。One story is about a Christian man whose name sounded something like \"Valentine\".其中一个故事是关于一位基督神父，他的名字的发音有点象“Valentine” 瓦仑丁. He lived around 250 A.D. 他生活在公元250年。At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever.那时罗马国王克劳迪乌斯无论怎样都不准该国的士兵结婚。Christian couples came to Valentine to be married so Valentine
would marry them in a Christian way. 基督情侣们就到瓦仑丁那里举行婚礼。所以他就按照基督教的仪式为人们举办婚礼。He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. 后来他的行为被发现了，因而被投进了监狱。One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window
10
of his prison. 一种传统的说法是：他将文字写在树叶上从牢房的窗户扔出去传给他的朋友。The leaves were shaped like a heart.而树叶的形状就象一颗心。

American Style Friendship (美国式的友谊)
Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university. 史迪文和依莎尔最初是在美国一所大学的化学课上认识的。 Yaser was an international student from Jordan. 依莎尔是来自约旦的一名留学生。He was excited to get to know an American. 首次结识一位美国人，他激动不已。He wanted to learn more about American culture. 他想了解更多的美国文化。Yaser hoped that he and Steve would become good friends.依莎尔很希望成为史迪文的好朋友。
At first，Steve seemed very friendly.开始史迪文显得很友好。He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. 上课前他总是热情地与依莎尔打招呼。Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser.有时他主动与依莎尔一块儿学习。He even invited Yaser to eat lunch with him.他甚至还邀请依莎尔一块儿吃午饭。 But after the semester was over, Steve seemed more distant.但是在本学期结束时，史迪文与依莎尔就保持一定的距离了。The two former classmates didn't see each other very much at school. 这两个原来的同班同学在学校里再也没有见过面了。One day Yaser decided to call Steve．一天，依莎尔决定打电话给史迪文。Steve didn't seem very interested in talking to him．在电话里史迪文好象没多大兴趣与他交谈。Yaser was hurt by Steve's change of attitude．史迪文这种态度上的变化使依莎尔受到了伤害。“Steve said we were friends,” Yaser complained，\" and I thought friends were friends forever.” “史迪文说过我们是朋友。” 依莎尔抱怨道“我原以为朋友就是永远的朋友。”
Yaser is a little confused. 依莎尔有点困惑不解。He is an outsider to American culture.对于美国文化他毕竟是门外汉。He doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship．他不懂美国人看待友谊的思维方式。Americans use the word friend in a very general way. 美国人对“朋友”这个词用得很随便。They may call both casual acquaintances and close companions “friends”。他们既可以对于随意新结识的人也可以把亲密的伙伴称为“朋友”。Americans have school friends, work friends，sports friends and neighborhood friends. 美国人有学校的朋友， 工作上的朋友，运动场上的朋友，邻里的朋友。These friendships are based on common interests. 这些朋友间的友谊都是建立在共同的兴趣爱好基础上的。When the shared activity ends, the friendship may fade.他们共同进行的活动结束了，这种友谊也就随之消失了。 Now Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates. Their friendship has changed.现在依莎尔和史迪文不再是同班同学了，因此他们的友谊就变了。
In some cultures friendship means a strong life-long bond between two people.在一些文化里，友谊就意味着两个人之间终生的纽带。In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last.在这些文化中，友谊建立和发展都很缓慢。因此，这样的友谊很持久。 American society is one of rapid change. 美国社
12
会是个变化迅速的社会。Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. 研究表明，每年每五个家庭中就有一个家庭搬迁。American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly.美国式的友谊发展得快，同样地，它们的变化也快。
People from the United States may at first seem friendly. 开始美国人看起来很友好。Americans often chat easily with strangers. 通常情况下，美国人很容易与陌生人交谈。They exchange information about their families, hobbies and work. 与他们交谈有关家庭，爱好和工作。They may smile warmly and say, 他们会很热情地微笑和谈话 \"Have a nice day.\" 希望你今过得得愉快。or \"See you later.\" 或者“回见。” Schoolmates may say, \"Let's get together sometime. 同班同学会说“让我们时不时地聚会一下” But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship. 但美国式的友谊并不会意味着真正的友谊。
After an experience like Yaser's, outsiders may consider Americans to be fickle.人们感受了象依莎尔那样的经历后，不了解美国文化的人会认为美国人变化无常。 Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans avoid misunderstandings. 了解美国人对待友谊的观点，也有助于避免对美国人的误解。It can also help them make friends the American way.同样也会帮助我们以美国人的方式来结交朋友。 1) We know from the passage that______________.

When Friendship Hurts
How to Deal with Friends Who Betray, Abandon, or Wound You 当友谊受到伤害：如何对待朋友的背叛，遗弃或伤害
There are positive, wonderful friendships that are mutually beneficial to both friends and that can last a lifetime. 世界上有积极而又美妙的友谊，这种友谊对相互都有益处。But there are other friendships that are negative, destructive (破坏性的,) or unhealthy.世界上也有另外的，消极的友谊，这种友谊是不健康的，甚至是破坏性的。 In WHEN FRIENDSHIP HURTS: How to Deal with Friends who Betray, Abandon, or Wound You, Jan Yager, Ph.D. gives readers the tools to detect and cope with friendships that are harmful, 在《当友谊受到伤害：如何对待朋友的背叛，遗弃或伤害 》 一书中，Jan Yager 博士给读者提供了检验和应对有危害友谊的办法。 provides insight (见识) into why certain friendships have ended or should end, and suggests ways for choosing friends who will enrich your life. 她让读者认识到为什么有些友谊会终结，或应该终结。并提供了如何结识能使你的生活更丰富的方法。

Cell Phone Users Tie Up Traffic
使用手机者与交通息息相关
If you're late for work, a driver using a cell phone may be to blame. 如果你上班迟到了，开车的人打手机，可能会被指责。
U.S. researchers said on Jan.2 that people who use cell phones while behind the wheel impede (妨碍) the flow of traffic, clog （阻碍) highways and extend commute times.一月二日美国研究人员指出，跟随在别的汽车后开着车时用手机，会妨碍汽车顺利行进、堵塞公路，延长人们上下班时间。
Previous (先前的) studies have equated the risk of driving while talking on a cell phone with （与…同等）driving while drunk. 上述的研究将驾车时用手机交谈看成与醉酒驾车一样的危险。Some 50 countries have
16
B) comes D) shows oneself
B) exposition D) none of the above
banned the use of hand-held phones while driving.大约有五十个国家现已禁止驾车时使用手提电话。
The latest study shows the impact of cell phone use on traffic patterns. 最新的研究指出了使用手机对交通秩序的影响 \"It has to do with the reaction to changes in speed,\" said Martin.专家马丁说，“这与反应速度有关。”
\"When a driver who is not distracted (分心) is in a traffic stream and the vehicle in front slows down, the driver will brake in response.如果一个驾驶员在堵车时分心， When a vehicle speeds up in front, the driver will respond and speed up,\" he said.当前面的车减速时，他应当作出反应，减速。“ 马丁说。
Martin and a team of researchers devised（设计） a study involving 36 university students,马丁和一组研究人员设计了包括36名大学生的研究。 each of whom drove through 9.2 mile-long freeway scenarios (场面) in low-to high-density traffic at speeds that resembled (类似的) driving on an interstate highway.大学生中的每个人都驾车经过9.2英里长的高速公路的交通不拥挤到非常拥挤的场面，他们所用的速度与一般公路上的速度类似。
The drivers used a hands-free phone during half their trips and no phone in the other half.在这个过程中，他们前一半路程用免提电话，另一半路程不用电话。 They were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them.他们被要求要遵守路标上的速度限制，要使用相应的信号。而其他要如何驾车的事由他们决定。
What they found was that when the drivers were distracted by a phone conversation, they made fewer lane changes (变道), 研究人员们发现这些驾驶员们受到电话交谈的干扰时，他们的的车行驶起来会变道。drove slower and took longer to get where they were going.车行的更慢，到达目的地所花费的时间更长。
In medium-and high-density traffic, drivers were about 20 percent less likely to change lanes.在交通中度拥挤和高度拥挤的时候他们中20%的人不会变道。They also spent about 25 to 50 seconds longer following slow-moving vehicles before changing to an open lane.在变道之前他们会用25到50秒的时间跟着前方慢行的车辆。 They also drove about 2 miles per hour slower than the undistracted drivers and took 15 to 19 seconds longer to complete the 9.2 mile trip.比起那些未分心的驾驶员来，他们也以每小时2英里的速度行驶，要多花25到50秒完成9.2英里路程。
For an undistracted driver, these accommodations might make driving safer. 对那些未分心的驾驶员，在这个过程行车更安全。“But if you are doing that so you can take your mind off the road and talk on the phone, that isn't safer,”said University of Utah psychology professor Dave Strayer, who led the team.但是如果驾车时打手机，你的心思会离开公路，在电话中交谈。这是更不安全的一种行为。“ 该研究项目的尤他大学的Dave Atryer 说。
Those delays can add up, especially in light of studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of U.S. drivers are
17
using a cell phone at any one time. 这些延误是可以加起来的。在对10%的美国驾车时随时使用电话的驾驶员的研究中尤其明显
\"Delays in traffic streams of very small amounts grow into massive numbers when you project it across a highway and across a nation,”Martin said.“当一个人要驾车在全国的公路上行驶，本来很小的延误就会变得很严重。” 马丁说。
The next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and extra fuel costs that result from traffic delays.研究的下一步是使用计算机模型来确定这些延误会多耗费多少时间，会额外地耗费更多的燃料。
\"What we've done here indicates already that those numbers are likely to be significant,”Martin said. “我们已做的研究表明，这个数字极有可能很大。
1. According to the passage, who may lead to traffic jams? __________ .

The First Four Minutes（最初的四分钟）
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? 人们在什么时候决定他们要不要成为朋友呢？During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. 按照伦纳德祖宁博士写的一本书，是他们在一起的最初四分钟。In his hook Contact: The First Four Minutes, he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: 在《接触：最初的四分钟》一书中，他向那些想建立友谊的人提出了这样的建议：\"Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes, a lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.\"“当你在社交场合遇到某个人时，最初四分钟应把注意力放在对方身上，如果这样做，许多人的一生将得到改变。”
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. 你可能已经注意到，一般人不会把注意力集中到他刚刚遇到的人。He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, 而总是越过对方的肩头向别处看，as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. 仿佛希望在房间的另一侧找到一个更有趣的人似的。If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.如果有人这样对待你，你大概也不会十分喜欢他的。
When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, 作者建议，当我们被介绍给陌生人时，we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. 我们应该力求表现得友好和自信。In general, he says, \"People like people who like themselves.\"他说，一般而言，“人们总是喜欢那些喜欢自己的人。”
On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. 然而，我们也不应该使对方感到我们过于自信。It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes.应该意识到别人也有他自己的需要、忧虑和希望，向对方表示关
19
注和同情，这一点很重要。
Hearing such advice, one might say, \"But I am not a friendly, self-confident person. That is not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way.\" 听到这样的劝告，你或许会说：“可是我不是一个友好而自信的人，那不是我的个性，我那么做是不诚实的。”
In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice could help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. 对于这个问题，祖宁博士认为，稍加练习就能使我们对改变社交习惯感到坦然。We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. \"“我们能够适应在个性上想要做的任何改变。”It's like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than an old one.\"这好比适应一辆新车，开始时可能陌生，但开起来却比旧车好得多。
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? 但是，做出友好和自信的样子而实际上并无这样的感觉，不是不诚实吗？Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, 也许是的，不过照祖宁博士的说法，\"total honesty\" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. “完全诚实”未必总是有利于社交，特别是在最初接触的几分钟内。There is a time for everything and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. 凡事都要把握时机，在与陌生人接触的最初几分钟，少许的做作也许最为合适。That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. 这可不是抱怨健康不佳或谈论别人有什么缺点的时候。 It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.这时把自己的见解和印象和盘托出是不适宜的。
Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. 上述有关与陌生人相处的建议，许多方面也适用于处理与家庭成员和朋友的关系。For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their four minutes together after they have been apart. 丈夫和妻子、父母和子女之间，往往会在他们分别后重新相聚的最初几分钟内产生问题。Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. 祖宁博士提出，必须小心对待相聚后的最初几分钟。 If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.如果有什么不愉快的问题要讨论，留待以后再说。
The author declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. 作者指出，每一所学校都要在进行阅读、写作和数学教学的同时，把人际关系列为一门必修课。 In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other peoples That is at least as important as how much we know.按照他的意见，人一生中的成就主要取决于如何和他人交往。这一点，至少与我们的知识多寡同样的重要。
