The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husbands “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.24.

Human beings can beat crocodiles sometimesCSince 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 possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions .Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties .Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against 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 in spite of 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. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental supportmoney aid ,material resources, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.28. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can .A. make people live more easily B. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changes D. cure types of illnesses29. The researches show that peoples physical and mental health .A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes30.

What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Interpersonal relationships.B. Kinds of social support.C. Ways to deal with stress.D. Effects of stressful condition.DIf you feel at present that you dont have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we dont get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（叙旧）with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you havent seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason you havent been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.33The author mainly discusses _in this passage.Ahow to spend our spare timeBhow to balance friendship and workCwhether we should keep friendshipDwhether we should invite friends to dinner34Which of the following doesnt indicate a good relationship?AYou have someone to count on when you are in trouble.BYou have someone to have close talks with.CYou have fun when you are with someone.DYou feel depressed with others in life.35The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that_.Ayou feel it difficult to keep friendshipByou spend too much time seeking material toys in your lifeCyou stick to doing everything all by yourselfDyou never refuse whatever other people ask you to do第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。_36_You probably think you will never be a top student.
