Paul was dealing with a crisis. The new girl Linda in class really liked him a lot. Paul was not happy about it.
Paul's good friend, Sam, tried to comfort him.  "What's the big deal? I think Linda is kind of cute and nice enough."
Paul glared at Sam. "Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. Go there and ask her to be your honey!"
"She's crazy about you, not me," Sam replied.
"Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a girl like her! "Paul growled.
Sam wouldn't give up.  "The only thing pesky about her is that she keeps writing you those notes ."
"I don't like notes at all!" Paul interrupted. He took another sip of milk.
"Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren't they normal red or pink?"
Sam took another look at Linda. "I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she's very gentle and that's what really matters."
Paul stuck out his tongue. "I think I'm going to be sick!  I'd better save my dessert for later." He crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket.  "The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is getting on my nerves!  "
Sam followed Paul’s example and decided to save his dessert for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box.  "Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?" Tremor asked.
"I'm going to be mean and rude to her," Paul announced.  "I'll call her names and make ugly faces at her."

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (長壽) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡婦)and widowers  were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
　　Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
　　So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.
　　A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”
【小題1】William Farr’s study and other studies show that _________.

A．social life provides an effective cure for illness
B．being sociable helps improve one’s quality of life
C．women benefit more than men from marriage
D．marriage contributes a great deal to longevity
【小題2】Linda Waite’s studies support the idea that _________.
A．older men should quit smoking to stay healthy
B．marriage can help make up for ill health
C．the married are happier than the unmarried
D．unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life
【小題3】It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side” (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to _________.
A．the disadvantages of being married
B．the emotional problems arising from marriage
C．the responsibility of taking care of one’s family
D．the consequence of a broken marriage
【小題4】 What does the author say about social networks?
A．They have effects similar to those of a marriage.
B．They help develop people’s community spirit.
C．They provide timely support for those in need.
D．They help relieve people of their life’s burdens.
【小題5】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．It’s important that we develop a social network when young.
B．To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.
C．Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.
D．We should share our social networks with each other.

閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
首先請閱讀下列人們在工作和生活中出現(xiàn)的一些身體不適癥狀：
A. How much sleep you need
Sleep cycles & stages, lack of sleep.
Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind.
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood, energy, efficiency and ability to handle stress.
B. Panic attacks and panic disorder
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems. They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities. But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps, the better.
C. How to stop worrying
Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing, not motivating or productive. Worrying can be, when it spurs you to take action, helpful to solve a problem. You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief.
D. Generalizes anxiety disorder
Everyone gets worried sometimes, but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax..
E. What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs
Under guidance from a health professional, medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety, but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety. Medication doesn’t cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution. Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns, including the risk of addiction..
F. Understanding stress
Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.
以下是相關人物介紹， 請把人物與其要求對的身體不適癥狀匹配起來。
46．Jane seldom goes out. Her heart may pound violently and she may stop breathing. She may feel dizzy and sick to her stomach. She may even feel like she’s dying or going crazy. That may even cause her to withdraw from normal activities. With the help of her doctor, she can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of panic and regain control of her life.
47. Thomson is a middle-aged architect.  He used to be quick-minded and could come up with good ideas in group meetings. But recently, he finds it difficult to have a good design and he has much more hesitation before taking action, which worried him a lot. After lots of thinking, Thomson decides to try solving his problem himself first.
48. James is a 100% workaholic. As the boss of a small firm competing with other big companies, James feels that he’d better work 24/7 or he may never succeed, or even worse, fail. So he and his employers often work overtime. But lately, James finds himself not as efficient as before and even dozes off during the day. He is always tired and sleepy. Worse still, he is under a lot of stress.
49．Linda is a single working mum who is showing symptoms of anxiety. She is talking to her doctor and she is weighing the benefits of taking drugs against its drawbacks. Her doctor insists that other therapies and lifestyle changes may help her. So she must make a careful decision whether to take drugs or change her lifestyle.
50. Sandy is a journalist of a fashion magazine, who has to spend a lot of time looking for interesting news and stories every day. She has to present high-quality articles before deadlines and her boss, the chief editor, is quite demanding and harsh on her. She used to think that stress urged her to work more productively but now it seems more than she can take.
