When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in angeror hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always wise to express your feelings freely. Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feeling? No!If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health. Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long youd smell them. And if you open the cupboard, chances are youd see little fruit flies hovering all over them. Theyd be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas. 1. It is mentioned in the passage that human beings get into trouble because they_.A. are not as alert as animalsB. sometimes cant control their feelingsC. always do something wrong to other peopleD. dont pay attention to their physical changes2.

The study, which followed more than 1, 300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative“spillover”between work and home lifeand, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life. Spillover essentially (本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instanceor family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “microwave exploded”,explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home. This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected”meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life. Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are“reasonable”. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said. 1. The underlined phrase“taking a toll on”in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. explainingB. protectingC. extendingD. damaging2. What is the purpose of offering the example“microwave exploded”in Paragraph 2? A. To show the microwave is of poor quality. B. To indicate how dependent the child is. C. To indicate family issues affect work hours. D. To show work time creeps into family life. 3. As a result of negative“spillover”, people will feel _.A. less satisfied with their family lifeB. less satisfied with their workC. angry with their troublesome childrenD. unwilling to get married at an early age4. According to Chesley, what is the best solution to the problem caused by cellphones? A. Refuse to use cell phones. B. Separate work hours from family time. C. Ignore coming calls during family time. D. Encourage women to stay at home. 5. We can learn from the passage that _.A. spillover makes the line between work and home unclearB. cell phones seem to be convenient to familiesC. cell phones affect men as much as womenD. we can do nothing to solve the problem【参考答案】30.DCAB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语质量检测】 Sitting for more than three hours a day can decrease a persons life expectancy（寿命）by two years, even if he or she is physically active and gets rid of dangerous habits like smoking, according to a studyWatching TV for more than two hours a day can worsen that problem, decreasing life expectancy by another l4 years The analysis comes just two years after Australian researchers found that people who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause than people who said they spent less than two hours a day watching TVThose watching TV more than four hours a day were also 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular （心血管的） diseaseSedentary （久坐的） behavior is something we need to pay attention to, beyond telling people to get 30 minutes of activity a day ,”said Peter TKatzmaezyk one of the lead researchers But while the evidence of illnesses is increasing, it remains difficult for many people to find time to get on their feet, especially if they do desk jobs Try to stand as much as you can, DrKatzmarzyk saidTypically when youre on the telephone you can stand and use the speakerphone Instead of emailing someone in the office, just get up and So to talk to them However, DrKatzmarzyk added, standing shouldnt be an alternative to exercising, but an alternative to sittingSeveral studies show that when youre sitting, your leg muscles are completely inactive, he said When youre sitting and completely inactive, this is when you run into trouble managing blood glucose （血糖）29What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
