14、 CGeorge Herbert Mead said that humans are talked into humanity. He meant that we gain personal identity as we communicate with others. In the earliest years of our lives, our parents tell us who we are. Youre (36)intelligent. re so strong. We first see ourselves through the eyes of others, so their
15、 messages form important (37)foundations of our self-concepts. Later we interact with teachers, friends, (38)romantic partners, and co-workers who communicate their views of us.Thus, how we see ourselves (39)reflects the views of us that others communicate.The (40)profound connection between identit
16、y and communication is (41)dramatically evident in children who are (42)deprived of human contact. Case studies of children who were isolated from others reveal that they lack a firm self-concept, and their mental and psychological development is severely (43)hindered by lack of language.Communicati
17、on with others not only affects our sense of identity but also directly influences our physical and emotional well-being. Consistently, (44)research shows that communicating with others promotes health, whereas social isolation is linked to stress,disease,and early death. People who lack close frien
18、ds have greater levels of anxiety and depression than people who are close to others. (45)A group of reseachers reviewed scores of studies that traced the relationship between health and interaction with others. The conclusion was that social isolation is statistically as dangerous as high blood pre
19、ssure, smoking and obesity. Many doctors and researchers believe that (46)loneliness harms the immune system, making us more vulnerable to a range of minor and major illnesses. 听力原文11.

26、 is a must.Long ConversationsConversation 1 I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy. So you are not sure which to go for? Thats it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offe
27、ring two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a years contract, and thats a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know. I see. So its much less secure. But you dont need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23. Thats true. What
28、 about the salaries? Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. Ill be getting the equivalent of about 22,000 a year there, but only 20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic Id have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, wherea
29、s the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching. Mmm Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of childrens classes. Oh, an
