Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry，keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being.A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity”.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍和不同的陌生人交流会带来幸福感。
Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization，the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits，schedules and interactions.They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.
Hanne Collins，a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study，says that relational diversity is composed of two elements：richness and evenness.Richness measures relationship categories，or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day.That could be your romantic partner，a family member，a neighbor or a stranger.“The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories，the happier they are.And we find this in a large sample across many countries，”
Collins said.Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories.Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than，say，their family members.“If you have a few conversations with colleagues，a few with friends，a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers，that’s going to be more even across these categories，” Collins explained.
Ultimately，Collins says，the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart.Having a support system is important，but it goes beyond your inner circle.“It’s about this mix.It’s about connecting with people who are close to you，who are maybe less close to you，who connect you with other people，who provide different kinds of support，” she said.“Essentially，the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio，the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”
1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The research method.
B.The supporting evidence.
C.The analysis of the research data.
D.The application of the research findings.
√
段落大意题。根据第二段“Using public data from sources like...the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from...They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.”可知，这一段主要介绍此项研究的研究方法。故选A。
解析

A.By illustrating concepts.
B.By presenting questions.
C.By using an expert’s word.
D.By referring to another study.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段“Hanne Collins...says that relational diversity is composed of two elements：richness and evenness.Richness measures...Evenness relates to...”可知，柯林斯主要通过阐释丰富性和均匀性这两个概念来解释她的发现。故选A。
解析
3.What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph
A.Live a more active life.
B.Expand the inner circle.
C.Gain as much support as possible.
D.Connect with all kinds of people.

Two managers in the same organization were coming into conflict when having disagreements in their work.After thinking about a particularly troubling issue throughout the night，the first manager wrote a letter to the other one，outlining his thoughts as reasonably as possible.He gave it to the other person and asked him to read it later and suggested that after working through their anger，they discuss it again.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过生活事例表明：通过控制自己的情绪才能进行有效的沟通，更好地解决生活中的冲突。
The following day the first manager stopped by the office of the other and asked how it would go.The second one admitted that he was very upset at first，but after thinking it over he realized that most of their disagreements were for a lack of understanding.He stated that he felt if they could discuss it without losing their tempers，they could work things out.That is exactly what they did later and got the issue settled with flying colors(成功地).
American president Abraham Lincoln was known for writing two letters when he needed to communicate with someone else who had made him angry.He first wrote a letter that severely conveyed just what he thought.Then he tore up that letter and wrote a second one that was appropriate and reasonable，and sent the letter out.
Effective communication is the key to any relationship.When we allow ourselves to become emotional and react immediately to what we feel without thinking，emotions overwhelm(压倒) the situation and prevent true communication.Step back，think，evaluate what happened or what was said，and ask to clarify questions if it is needed.Then，you can respond appropriately.
Don’t let overwhelming emotion control your life.Instead，choose to think and process internally whatever comes your way before externally responding.That is when you can communicate with others effectively and you will be able to keep good relationships with them.
5.What did the first manager do in his letter
A.He expressed his general ideas reasonably.
B.He explained why the issue was troubling.
C.He apologized to the second manager sincerely.
D.He invited the second manager to discuss the issue.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“After thinking about...reasonably as possible.”可知，在考虑了一个特别棘手的问题一整晚之后，第一个经理给另一个经理写了一封信，尽可能合理地概述了他的想法。故选A。
解析
6.What is the story of Lincoln intended to express
A.Any great man can get angry.
B.Making plan B is necessary in work.
C.Writing letters was very popular in the past.
D.We should deal with matters after calming down.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段“American president Abraham Lincoln...sent the letter out.”可知，当美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯需要和让他生气的人沟通时，他会写两封信。他首先写了一封信，严肃地表达了他的想法。然后他把那封信撕了，又写了一封合适而合理的信，然后把信寄出去了。所以通过这个故事并结合最后一段可推知，我们应该冷静之后再处理问题。故选D。
解析
7.What will reacting immediately without thinking probably lead to
A.A bad first impression.
B.Ineffective communication.
C.The high chance of failure.
D.The breakdown of a relationship.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When we allow ourselves...prevent true communication.”可知，当我们让自己变得情绪化，不假思索地立即对自己的感受做出反应时，情绪就会压倒局面，阻碍真正的沟通，即导致无效沟通。故选B。
解析
8.What should people do for better communication
A.Learn to answer questions indirectly.
B.Avoid anger to keep good relationships.
C.Never be overwhelmed by your emotions.
D.Think reasonably before making a decision.
√
细节理解题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段第一句“Don’t let overwhelming emotion control your life(不要让压倒性的情绪控制你的生活).”可知，为了更好地沟通，人们要控制自己的情绪，不要被情绪奴役。故选C。

There have been too many annoying violent conflicts in modern history which have led to loss of lives and properties.I recently watched a bitter documentary online that showed the horror of wars.It was about World War Ⅱ，when millions of young men spent years in mud trenches fighting with each other.There was a British general who was assigned to lead a group of soldiers to detect the enemies and protect the civilians in a village.They were based near the frontier of the war in Eastern France.One midnight，many German bombs were dropped around the area.They had no choice but to withdraw.The villagers in panic attempted to flee overnight.Sorrowfully，they were all killed by machine gun fire.The incident caused the general so much permanent suffering physically and mentally，from which he would never make a recovery.Dozens of years later，when he was interviewed in a small ward and requested to recall that experience，he couldn’t tolerate that inner pain and wept bitter tears.Although it was a miserable documentary，it made me appreciate the value of peace.The world would be a better place without any war or conflict.
近代历史上有太多令人讨厌的暴力冲突，造成了无数生命与财产的损失。最近我在网上看了一部令人痛心的纪录片，展现了战争的恐怖。影片讲述第二次世界大战期间，数百万年轻人在泥泞的战壕里常年厮杀的故事。其中有一位英国将军，奉命率领士兵在法国东部战区边境附近的村庄执行侦察敌情、保护平民的任务。某个深夜，德军向该地区投下大量炸弹，他们不得不撤退。惊慌的村民们试图连夜逃亡，却不幸全部死于机枪扫射。这件事给将军造成了永久性的生理和心理创伤，余生都未能痊愈。几十年后，当他在一间狭小的病房里接受采访，被要求回忆这段经历时，他再也无法承受内心的痛苦，流下了伤心的泪水。虽然这是一部悲惨的纪录片，但它让我更加认识到和平的珍贵。如果没有战争和冲突，世界会更美好。

A
Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry，keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being.A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity”．
Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization，the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits，schedules and interactions.They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.
Hanne Collins，a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study，says that relational diversity is composed of two elements：richness and evenness.Richness measures relationship categories，or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day.That could be your romantic partner，a family member，a neighbor or a stranger.“The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories，the happier they are.And we find this in a large sample across many countries，” Collins said.Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories.Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than，say，their family members.“If you have a few conversations with colleagues，a few with friends，a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers，that’s going to be more even across these categories，” Collins explained.
Ultimately，Collins says，the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart.Having a support system is important，but it goes beyond your inner circle.“It’s about this mix.It’s about connecting with people who are close to you，who are maybe less close to you，who connect you with other people，who provide different kinds of support，” she said.“Essentially，the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio，the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”

B
Two managers in the same organization were coming into conflict when having disagreements in their work.After thinking about a particularly troubling issue throughout the night，the first manager wrote a letter to the other one，outlining his thoughts as reasonably as possible.He gave it to the other person and asked him to read it later and suggested that after working through their anger，they discuss it again.
The following day the first manager stopped by the office of the other and asked how it would go.The second one admitted that he was very upset at first，but after thinking it over he realized that most of their disagreements were for a lack of understanding.He stated that he felt if they could discuss it without losing their tempers，they could work things out.That is exactly what they did later and got the issue settled with flying colors(成功地)．
American president Abraham Lincoln was known for writing two letters when he needed to communicate with someone else who had made him angry.He first wrote a letter that severely conveyed just what he thought.Then he tore up that letter and wrote a second one that was appropriate and reasonable，and sent the letter out.
Effective communication is the key to any relationship.When we allow ourselves to become emotional and react immediately to what we feel without thinking，emotions overwhelm(压倒) the situation and prevent true communication.Step back，think，evaluate what happened or what was said，and ask to clarify questions if it is needed.Then，you can respond appropriately.
Don’t let overwhelming emotion control your life.Instead，choose to think and process internally whatever comes your way before externally responding.That is when you can communicate with others effectively and you will be able to keep good relationships with them.
