Instead, they walk away with a reading list of some novels.”引出文章主题,在Courtney办公室,当人们倾诉心事时,医生不会开处方,而是给病人推荐一些小说;再结合第二段“Spending quality time with these characters as you relax on the beach or sit propped up on bed pillows may enhance your EQ (emotional intelligence).”及下文可知,“阅读小说对人的情商有益”可以作为最佳标题。故选C项。

One way to help you spend money wisely is to separate your wants from your needs and spend money primarily on your needs.

People who seek comfort by pouring their hearts out in Courtney’s office don’t get rewarded with a Xanax or Prozac prescription (处方). Instead, they walk away with a reading list of some novels.
Such novels as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Colour Purple teach you complicated topics like racism, poverty, bullying and other issues. They could also help you know your own heart and others’. Keith Oatley, a psychology professor at Toronto University, recommends novels that help us understand the characters from the inside rather than plot-driven novels. We can learn from a literary masterpiece, such as Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, or from popular novels such as Harry Potter. Spending quality time with these characters as you relax on the beach or sit propped up on bed pillows may enhance your EQ (emotional intelligence).
Lab tests seem to show this. Brain scans of people who have been reading these novels show the area that corresponds with emotions lights up. Even if you are not a keen reader, there’s still hope. Past studies have shown serial TV programmes that are character-driven such as The West Wing or The Good Wife also help you better understand what we human beings are up to. Other studies have shown watching character-driven sitcoms can lessen a viewer’s prejudice.
You can be as witty as Sherlock, but to get along well in this life, you really do need to understand people emotionally. And you can’t be as emotionally unavailable as Mr Darcy throughout much of Pride and Prejudice. You have to learn the lesson Jane Austen is trying to teach with that book. Kieth said, “To love people, you really have to know them.” People say you only get one life, but I say read novels and you can live many lives in one.
( )1.Which statement is true according to the passage
A.Reading novels cures diseases.
B.Plot-driven novels are not beneficial.
C.Woolf stands out as a novelist.
D.Brain scans influence people’s EQ.
( )2.How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A.By analysing some data.
B.By following the order of time.
C.By providing some evidence.
D.By making some comparisons.
( )3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Sherlock gets along well in life.
B.Mr Darcy is not very emotionally intelligent.
C.Keith loves reading Austen’s novels.
D.Reading novels can lengthen our life.
( )4.What is the best title for the text
A.The collapse of traditional prescriptions
B.Suggestions on choosing right novels
C.Reading novels benefits EQ
D.Ways to boost EQ

My daughter will turn 17 in three months! As a parent, I feel the urgency (紧迫) to teach her important skills before she goes off to college. 1. . So this article is written for her and other teens.
2. . It’s easy to spend money. What’s not easy is spending money wisely. One way to help you spend money wisely is to separate your wants from your needs and spend money primarily on your needs. Write down what you need with those costs in one column and write down what you want with those costs in another column. Then compare them.
Start the savings habit. Start to set aside money for the future now, while you are young. 3. . This will go towards goals such as buying a new learning reference book(a short-term goal), a laptop computer(a longer-term goal), a rainy-day fund and college expenses.
Be careful with credit cards. When you go to college, you may find credit card companies often attract you to sign up for their credit cards. They will try to convince you that a credit card is like having free money for you to spend while you only pay the smallest amount each month. 4. . Because you may fall into the terrifying dream of high interest rates.

[2024·湖南常德高一期中]
People who seek comfort by pouring their hearts out in
Courtney's office don't get rewarded with a Xanax or Prozac
prescription (处方). Instead, they walk away with a reading list of
some novels.
Such novels as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Colour
Purple teach you complicated topics like racism, poverty, bullying

and other issues. They could also help you know your own
heart and others'. Keith Oatley, a psychology professor at
Toronto University, recommends novels that help us understand
the characters from the inside rather than plot-driven novels.
We can learn from a literary masterpiece, such as Virginia
Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, or from popular novels such as Harry
Potter. Spending quality time with these characters as you relax
on the beach or sit propped up on bed pillows may enhance
your EQ (emotional intelligence).

Lab tests seem to show this. Brain scans of people who
have been reading these novels show the area that corresponds
with emotions lights up. Even if you are not a keen reader,
there's still hope. Past studies have shown serial TV programmes
that are character-driven such as The West Wing or The Good
Wife also help you better understand what we human beings
are up to. Other studies have shown watching character-driven
sitcoms can lessen a viewer's prejudice.

You can be as witty as Sherlock, but to get along well in
this life, you really do need to understand people emotionally.
And you can't be as emotionally unavailable as Mr Darcy
throughout much of Pride and Prejudice. You have to learn the
lesson Jane Austen is trying to teach with that book. Kieth said,
“To love people, you really have to know them.” People say you
only get one life, but I say read novels and you can live many
lives in one.
