gossip appears to be a very important form of behavior in a group of friends, defining their group membership.”
For 18 months, Kevin Kniffin, from the University of Wisconsin, US, researched the behavior of 50 people. He found that gossip levels peaked when a sports team included a slacker, someone who regularly missed practices or showed up late. Other members of the team would soon start to joke about the slacker’s shortcomings behind his back, because they thought they were bad for the whole team.
Gossip about the mistakes of senior members helps newcomers rebuild their confidence after a failure.
It also helps relieve social and professional anxiety. Long-term studies show that people around the world devote from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for gossip as women.
It is hard to judge gossip, but it is more powerful than you think. 68. The author would probably agree that______________. A. gossip is bad manners
B. gossip has many good effects
C. gossip is somewhat like nonsense D. gossip is more powerful than advice
69. What does the underlined word “slacker” mean according to the context? A. Someone who values the team benefit much. B. Someone who does not do what they should well. C. Someone who is active in sports.
D. Someone who shows no much interest in sports.
70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Gossip is a useful way of building group membership. B. Gossip can possibly make someone confident. C. Generally, women are fonder of gossip than men.
D. Actually, everyone gossips to some degree in their daily conversation.

If you understood another culture， it can help you with your language learning. This is because your background knowledge will make easier for you to understand the content of a reading passage. For example, if you have some knowledges about History and geography of Australia, it will make it easier for you to understand passages relating to Australia. In the same way, if you have watched the film The Mutiny on the Bounty you will know the background about the journey of Captain Bligh across the Pacific Ocean. So you will be more better able to appreciate what great Captain Bligh’s achievement was in second unit.
