Choosethe best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across thesquare brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneLoneliness has been linked to depression and other health problems. Now, a study says it canalso spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness.And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same.Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also growlike infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in theAmerican town of Framingham, Massachusetts.The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests havebeen added, including measures of loneliness and depression.The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of theFramingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness.The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The lonelinessspreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also foundthat loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, SanDiego, did the study .The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and SocialPsychology.The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. Thestudy found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days .But every additional friend candecrease loneliness by about 5%,or two and a half days.Lonely people become less and less trusting of others .This makes it more and more difficultfor them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject them.John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study .He says it is important torecognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of societyshould receive help to repair their social networks.The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” againstloneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart.31. Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people?A. Friendship B. Happiness C. Depression D. Smoking32.

Lonely people need more friendsPassage TwoCalifornia has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative. “Starting this fall withhigh school math and science .we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a stateapproved list of digital textbooks.” That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June, talkingabout his effort to get schools to use materials available free online .He listed reasons why hethinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital one can offer the latestinformation. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learningmore fun and interactive .And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems.More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and sciencematerials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90%of the states learning requirements.Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them.Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had beendeveloping digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers andother education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed bythe Khosla Family.California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts willhave to decide for themselves.Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expectwidespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be thefirst to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way toaccess them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, butthat would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digitaltextbooks effectively.37.
