Since 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 tendency to get --S1-- and receive support from one another under stressful situations. Social support consists of the exchange of resources --S2-- among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with weak social --S3-- ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveals that the presence of social support helps --S4-- people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more alike. --S5--
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others for our faults and difficulties. Second, other --S6-- people often provide to us with informational support. They --S7-- help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaged in leisure-time activities --S8-- with others helps us to meet our social needs when at the same --S9-- time distracting us from worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid, material resources, and needed services-that reduce stress by --S10-- helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
答案: S1. get -- give :既然是from one another ,就应该是相互“给予和获取支持”(give and receive support)。 S2. situations -- circumstances :under 与circumstances 搭配,in 与situations 搭配。 S3. weak -- strong :根据上下文的语义逻辑,应该是社会关系强的人生活得更好。 S4. reveals -- reveal :此句主语是studies,谓语动词应该用复数。 S5. alike -- likely :alike 是“相似的”;此句结构应该是“make…. likely ”,意思是“使…..更加有可能”。 S6. for -- despite :此句正常的逻辑应该是“尽管我们有缺点和困难,但还是被他人接纳”,而不是“因为有缺点和困难而被接纳”。 S7. to :provide的用法是 provide sb. with sth. 或provide sth. to sb. S8. Engaged -- Engaging : 现在分词可以作主语,过去分词不可以。 S9. when -- while :while 可与at the same time 连用表示“与….. 同时”,when 则不可。 S10. reduce -- reduces :主语是support,谓语应该用单数。
