Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44 and ill health. The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 48 the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health bees 49 . Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. III. Reading prehension:Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting 50 nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? 51 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off 52 hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt 53 the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more 54 : hitchhiking happens where people dont have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of 55 in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why cant they afford cars? Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The 56 hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves its still 57 to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer, retired surgeon, tank mander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My 58 is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldnt help 59 .The 60 of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didnt do much of that, 61 just to hold up my destination sign) and people wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I dont think Ill make a 62 of it. But having 63 it so much, Im ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wifes hitchhiked to India.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)London has bee a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and bee as monplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the ments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “My campaign for the capital to bee the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”65. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to _.A. reduce the air pollution of the city B. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the citys traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities66.If you want to hire a bike, what would you do first?A.

From the passage we can infer that _.A. the London Mayor is confident in the schemeB. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successful(B)Sabina Caste Franco Rome October 16,2011The U.N. World Food program says there are growing concerns over food insecurity in the developing world. Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World Food Day.The theme for World Food Day 2011 is “Food Prices From Crisis to Stability”. A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political instability are deepening the struggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations. This years “State of Food Insecurity in the World” report, published last week, focuses on the impact of food price volatility, confirming that high, unpredictable prices are likely to continue. The report highlighted how poor consumers, small farmers and countries dependent on imports, especially in Africa, have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises.Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome. “If you look at the places where World Food program works particularly in developing countries, you see populations of people who might be spending 60, 70, 80 percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families”. Barrow added that if prices bee changeful and generally start rising, even by a small amount, it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutritious food on their tables.The report also showed that even short-term fluctuations (波动) in prices can have a long-term effect on development, and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first 1,000 days of a childs life can affect mental and physical development and finally, future earning capacity. The United Nations has programs in place aimed at reducing the number of hungry people by one-half by 2015. But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached.69.The U.N World Food program aims to _.A. hold a ceremony to mark World Food DayB. provide food for developing nationsC. show concerns over food insecurity in the developing worldD. introduce the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome70.The underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 2 means _.A. supply B. instability C. quality D. control71.According to the report, we can learn that _.A. people in Africa have been influenced by the food and economic crisesB. the short-term change in prices has nothing to do with developmentC. food price changes have little effect on householdsD. childrens development can be affected by the taking of nutritious food(C)In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behaviour and organizational psychology has been that happy workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more productive.Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair and his former PhD student Carrie Lavis recently conducted a series of four studies addressing the effects of experimentally induced (诱发的) happiness versus sadness on work productivity by asking the participants to build circuit boards (电路板). In the first study, sad people mitted significantly fewer errors than did happy people (approximately half the number of errors) but there was no difference in the number of boards pleted. Thus, sad people were more productive.In similar studies Sinclair and Lavis found the same results along with evidence that happy people might not devote as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods they considered that task as something that might detract (减去) from their present feelings. Conversely, sad people appeared to be devoting energy to the task in order to divert themselves from their sad feelings. “It is important to know that the moods were unrelated to the task,” said Sinclair. “Unhappiness is ing from something else.”These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology demonstrating that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and, often, more thoughtful or accurate judgments.In Sinclai
