閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。

Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”

So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.

After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. It's safe to say that this is a book for teens that they'll enjoy. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All about Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I was stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn’t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”

In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when people tell you that you can’t do it, because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”

1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? (within 10 words)

2.What does the underlined word “l(fā)aunched” mean in English? (within 2 words)

3.According to Paragraph 3, what did Ashley do after GooseHead closed down?(within 10 words)

4.How did Ashley feel as a young boss of a company? (within 5 words)

5.According to Ashley’s advice to success, what do you think is the most important?Why? (within 15 words)

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆海南海口湖南師大附中海口中學(xué)高三第四次模擬考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困難). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (擋開) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

1.Research shows that people’s physical and mental health ________.

A. relies on the social welfare systems which support them

B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles

D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives

2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”in paragraph 2?

A. adds up to.

B. does away with.

C. lessens the effect of.

D. Lays the foundation for.

3.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ________.

A. instrumental support

B. informational support

C. social companionship

D. the strengthening of self-respect

4.Social companionship is beneficial in that ________.

A. it helps strengthen our ties with relatives

B. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes

C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable

D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles
