Passage Three

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on out interpesonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one

among people

of the exchange of resources another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists

based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with

major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than

those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the

presence of social support helps people fight off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us

know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults

and difficulites. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and

understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support – financial aid, material resources, and needed services – that reduces stress by helping us resolve

and cope with our problems.

VII. Translation from English into Chinese

71. The biggest single need in computer technology is not for increase speed, or enlarged capacity, or prolonged memory, or reduced size, but for better questions and better use of the answers. Without taking

anything away from the technicians, we think it might be fruitful to effect some sort of junction between the

computer technologist and the poet. A genuine purpose may be served by tuning loose the wonders of the

creative imagination on the kinds of problems being put to electronic technology. The company of poets may

enable the men who tend the machines to see a wider range of possibilities than technology alone may inspire.

A poet, said Aristotle, has the advantage of expressing the universal; the specialist expresses only the

particular. The poet, moreover, can remind us that man's greatest energy comes not from his dynamos but

from his dreams. But the quality of a man's dreams can only be a reflection of his subconscious. What he

puts into his subconscious, therefore, is quite literally the most important nourishment in the world.
