In fact fans of the shows have 【6】 much stronger desire for status．They are much more likely to agree with statements such as “Reputation is important to me”．It represents a means to get attention．And more attention increases one’s sense of 【7】 (important)．We think we are important if others pay attention to us and unimportant if 【8】 (ignore)．

Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(漢堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.

Dear Wang Mei,

I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Don’t be too concerning about it. Now I’d like to give you some advice. Firstly, you may have the heart-to-heart talk with your roommates. Perhaps they will realize their mistakes or correct them. Secondly, if you find hard to have a good talk with them, you may write a letter about them. Lastly, if these ways don’t work, you’d better to report it to your teacher, whom will help solve the problem. Good communication is the key to deal with the relationship with others. Maybe someday you should become good friends. I hope my advice will be of greatly help to you.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments. Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology （心理學(xué)）. Before beginning a study, however, any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method.【1】

◆ Form a hypothesis （假設(shè)）. It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study.【2】Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment.

◆ Plan out a study. Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time, materials, and testing area prepared beforehand. This step also helps the scientist to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research. The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research.【3】Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data.

◆ Collect data.【4】If the data collected is not recorded and organized, the entire efforts of the study may be wasted. The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost.

◆ Analyze the data. Once all the data has been collected and organized, it must be analyzed. Using previous research or scientific information about the problem, the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.

◆ Publish the information learned. The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study.【5】Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.

E. The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.

F. To fully understand the study, each part of the experiment must be recorded.

G. Sometimes, however, this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.

A. long before; before long that B. long before; long before that

C. before long; not long before D. before long that; not long before

注意：詞數(shù)：100左右 2.可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫。

“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain.” Christopher Reeve

Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards.

Today I walked 5 miles.

My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope.

A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.”

“They could have all been wrong.”

“They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(復(fù)原). No physical therapy(治療). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.”

“Trying is never failure.”

What made me finally try? The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not?”

When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams.

One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again.

Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too?

Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Bengay.
