For 45 an hour, the false mourners can be rented to cry for the duration of a funeral service in order to add to the numbers at funerals.Ian Robertson, the founder of RentaMourner, in Braintree, Essex, admits the idea may be unfamiliar to the British, although the phenomenon is popular in places such as Asia. The mournersforhire are briefed on the life of the deceased and would be able to talk to friends and relatives as if they really had known their loved one.RentaMourner has 20 staff on its books to hire out for funerals, which Mr. Robertson said were friends of his rather than professional actors. He added that they are not required to well up, but are mainly there just to make up the numbers.“We were actually inspired by the market growth in China，” said Mr. Robertson. “The Middle Eastern way is to provide wailerscrying women as opposed to the quiet, dignified methods we use. Our staff will meet with the client beforehand and agree the story, so our staff will either have known the deceased professionally or socially. They will be informed of the deceaseds background, achievements, failures etc. So they can talk with other mourners with confidence.”Mr. Robertson set up RentaMourner in January last year, and said he has had 52 bookings since the company began, with 15 in the first six months. “It is growing in the UKour bookings are up 50 percent year on year，” he said. He added that his biggest source of his bookings were for funerals in Hull, and has sent staff to 12 funerals there, adding that he could not explain why that area showed the biggest demand. The company also has plans to expand, after having to turn down more than 60 requests because the funerals were too far away and the nearer funerals were waiting there.Consumer expert Jasmine Birtles, who conducted the research, believes multicultural Britain is experiencing a “cultural shift” in the way its mourners say their final goodbye. Birtles, the founder of personal finance site MoneyM, said: “Hiring a stranger to weep at a funeral may seem strange, but its a deepseated tradition in the East.” Its still a potential market at the moment but demand for professional mourners is increasing year on year as more people from East Asian and Middle Eastern countries move to the UK, bringing their customs with them.“The rise in popularity shows a cultural shift taking place in how we choose to pay our last respects and like with many other cultural imports, its only a matter of time before it crosses over into mainstream culture.”“At the moment its not the sort of thing most people can treat as a career, but if it continues to increase in popularity then crying on demand could soon become a highlyprized skill.”()56. In Britain people rent false mourners to cry at the funeral to show _A. their deep sorrow at their loved ones deathB. their rich property and high social position C. the deceased is loved by so many peopleD. the deceased is so important to their family()57. The rented mourners are required to _A. to cry as sadly and loudly as they can B. to behave like professional actorsC. to talk with all the other mourners D. to be familiar with the deceaseds life()58. According to Mr. Robertson, what is the main reason for them to refuse some service requests?A. Some of the funerals are too far away for their mourners to get to.B. His company is too shorthanded to meet the increasing demand.C. They want to spread their service to more places across the country.D. Some of his mourners are not qualified enough for the challenging job.()59. What can we infer from the passage?A. Some customs originated in the east but become more popular in the west.B. Cultural influences between countries can happen in every aspect of society.C. Imported customs may come but will never be rooted in mainstream culture.D. China contributes so many good customs to the other parts of the world.BUrgent MessageGet the Emergency World Radio FREEThe US.

But how can Emotional Intelligence help in stress management? Our emotions are good indicators of our stress level. If we are aware of our own emotions, we can identify the signs of unusually high stress earlier. Then we can take steps to relax or to control our emotions, and avoid further stress. For example, getting angry ten times in one single day at our team members, peers, or other people we interact with is most likely not a sign that they have suddenly become more annoying or incapable. It is more likely to be a sign that our level of stress has increased, and that our tolerance for anything that doesnt go our way has decreased.Selfmanagement, the second dimension of Emotional Intelligence, also helps decrease our stress. Selfmanagement is our ability to prevent the waves of our negative emotions from rising too high. An example of selfmanagement is keeping our sadness or anger from reaching an intensity when we can not function and work normally, and when it can even be painful.Such high emotional waves further escalates stress in two ways. First, stress is expanded by the feeling that we are “losing control”. And then it can be accompanied by guilt.and even more stress. Secondly, decisions we make during these emotional waves are usually not wellthought and usually bring us more trouble and more stress. For example, decisions we make during an period of anger can be expected to result in extra work to repair “additional damages”Social awareness, the third dimension of Emotional Intelligence decreases stress by reducing interpersonal conflicts in the workplace. One serious conflict with one of our team members or peers can eat up a large amount of our energy and result in a lot of stress.How exactly does better social awareness lead to less conflicts? Social awareness is the ability to recognize emotions in other people, and to handle them resourcefully. In situations when conflicts can easily arise, this skill is particularly useful. By identifying the emotions in our counterpart and then acknowledging these emotions, we can prevent a disagreement from turning into an open personal conflict.As a conclusion, if you are feeling that you are too stressed, I encourage you to look at how you could develop your Emotional Intelligence further. ()63. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “escalates” in Paragraph 4?A. Decreases.B. Raises.C. Relieves.D. Substitutes.()64. In how many ways does great EQ help in stress management?A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2.()65. What do we know from the passage?A. Getting angry 10 times a day at other people indicates that theyre annoying.B. Decisions made during emotional waves can be thoughtless and regrettable.C. Social awareness can remove interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.D. When we are feeling too stressed, we had better look at our EQ level.()66. The structure of the passage is _. ( to represent Paragraphs 1 to 7)DRubys RosesThe neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor was that they sat inside and drank whiskey all day. About the only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes！” The rosebushes served as a fence between our house and theirs. Jack and Ruby had a son whom we nicknamed Crazy Jack Junior. He was due to come home from Vietnam. We heard he had been discharged because of a nervous breakdown. The day Crazy Jack Junior was scheduled to come home, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Johnny was trying to catch a fly ball. He stripped over one of Ruby Rednoses rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, the Joneses truck rolled into the driveway. Crazy Jack Junior sprang out and ran toward Johnny. “You little punk！” he screamed. “Look what youve done to our familys roses! Youve always been trouble. Im going to fetch my gun and shoot you！”Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didnt like the Joneses，” we protested. “Theyre mean to us. Besides, Crazy Jack Junior might shoot us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her ou
