问题      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. 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 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 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.  [br] Interpersonal relationships are important because ______.
选项 A、they are indispensable to people’s social well-being
B、they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources
C、they help people to cope with life in the information era
D、they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.
答案 A
解析 根据文章第一段第一句"Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．”，可知人际关系与人的生活质量密不可分，所以它很重要，故A 是正确答案。人际关系不能治病，也不能解决生活中的一切问题，故C 和D 错误。B 中内容在文章中并未提及。答对本题还需了解"well-being"与"quality"是近义词。
