Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship. It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.
Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single, with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.
A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park, cooking, playing sport or going to a football match. These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop positive self-respect, confidence and life direction.
Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations exist throughout the world. It is the largest and most well-known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.

Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smartphones.
When they are gathering together, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.
8. The purpose of this text is to ______.
A. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone B. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving C. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
D. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone 9. The second paragraph is developed by ______.
A. listing figures B. giving examples C. analyzing the effects D. comparing facts 10. The author advocates us to make new friends ______. A. under a free circumstance B. by using smartphones C. in different ways D. in a face-to-face way
11. Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______.[] A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle B. people are more and more narrow-mindedgkstkCom C. people's communication skills are weakened D. face-to-face communication becomes less important D
Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is one important way to protect the health of your heart.
Poor sleep is associated with a range of cardiovascular(心血管的) problems, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and heart failure. Both men and women are at increased risk for these conditions. But we continue to learn that when it comes to health problems associated with sleep, the particular risks to men and women are not always the same. A new study suggests that for women who already have heart disease, poor sleep may be particularly dangerous to their heart health.
Research indicates that poor-quality sleep—and waking too early in particular—is associated with increased inflammation(炎症) among women with heart disease. There was no similar association found for men, suggesting that women with heart disease and sleep problems may be at particular risk for inflammation that can be damaging to the heart.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco investigated the relationship between sleep quality and inflammation linked to coronary(冠状的) heart disease. They also sought information about how an association between sleep and inflammation might differ between men and women. Their investigation included 980 men and women at first, and 626 completed the 5-year study. All of those included were suffering for coronary heart disease. The average age of men in the study was 66. Women were slightly younger, with an average age of 64. Researchers measured sleep quality by asking participants to rate their sleep over the previous month. They also asked for reports of some of the most common sleep problems, including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, waking frequently throughout the night, and waking too early in the morning.
After 5 years, researchers repeated tests for inflammation and once again sought reports on sleep quality and sleep problems. When they analyzed data for both men and women together, researchers found no links between inflammations and sleep quality. However, when they analyzed data taking gender(性别) into account, researchers found a relationship between inflammation and sleep existed for women, but not for men.
12. When a person suffers from sleep disorder _______.
A. he/she is sure to have cardiovascular problems B. he/she may be in a state of poor health C. he/she must be in danger of heart disease D. he/she might get on poorly with others
13. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A. To stress how to have a good sleep in daily life. B. To show a good sleep is more important to women. C. To describe different kinds of sleep problems. D. To encourage readers to sleep more. 14. The researchers did the study _______.
A. to find a cure for women with heart disease B. to know what contributes to inflammation
C. to look into the relationship between sleep quality and inflammation D. to track the lifestyle of men and women
15. Which of the following is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Poor Sleep Results in Problems Only for Adults B. Lack of Sleep Can Lead to Much Inflammation C. Sleep Loss Is to Increase Anxiety Disorders D. Women’s Sleep Habits May Affect Heart Health
