But the results of a new study show that a mothers voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact(接触).In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judgesa stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the love hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didnt see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well theyd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the childrens anxietybut, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if youre feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.（1）If a girl is under stress, . A . she cant solve math problemsB . she will have high levels of hormoneC . oxytocin will remain at a high levelD . cortisol will go up with oxytocin down（2）Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out? a.

A . it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB . the girls who had watched the movie remained anxiousC . mothers should hug their kids as often as possibleD . older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones（4）Whats the main idea of the passage? A . A mothers voice can comfort her anxious kids.B . Mothers should often hug their kids.C . Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D .

With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, were able to get a quick fix and present the best pictures of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, were also changing the way we look at our ourselves. Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality and fantasy. These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty. the article says. In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for todays young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look, a British doctor Escho told The Independent.Now youve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media, Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparison, they may become beauty sick and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldnt think to ourselves, Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam? Instead, we should think, I feel good, I have my health.（1）What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media? A . Smoothing their skin in the morning.B . Using apps to edit photos.C . Wearing false eyelashes.D . Redding their lips before going out.（2）Where should we put the sentence This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.? A . B . C . D . （3）The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that _. A . people today focus(关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB . in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC . social platforms help people learn about self-worthD . self-worth is related purely on followers people have（4）What did the writer write this passage for? A . To call on people to care more about appearance.B . To call on people not to use apps on mobile phone.C . To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.D . To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with others.19. （8分）阅读短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Welcome to the 26th century! Cyborg technology is a way of life.
