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 give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources 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 (困难). 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 fend off (挡开) 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 coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. 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 (转移......注意力) 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. (257 words)
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "cushions" (Line 1, Para. 2)?
选项
A、Adds up to.
B、Does away with.
C、Lessens the effect of.
D、Lays the foundation for.
答案
C
解析
本题属于词汇理解题。虽然我们不认识此词,但我们通过阅读这一段后面的内容,知道是在论述良好的社会关系可在四个方面不同程度地帮助我们;我们也知道这个词所在的句子是这段文字的主题句。由此我们可推测“cushion”为“减少,减弱”之意。B“去掉”夸大了社交关系的作用,A“增加”和D“为……奠定基础”都不符合文意。
