Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk for death from any cause than those who are more relaxed. How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something. If you notice these signs in yourself or your loved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, experts say you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and shutting out the world for a while. 1.According to the passage, almost all people know how to get rid of stress. A.T B.F 2.Stress at work affects your life and makes you unhappy at work. A.T B.F 3.Failing memory is a sign showing that your job is doing harm to your health. A.T B.F 4.Stressed-out people have higher blood pressure only when they are at work. A.T B.F 5.You should see a doctor and try to relax more if you've noticed some of the signs of stress. A.T B.F KEY: BAABA Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 1.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________ A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions. C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments. D.Shy people think they are different from others. 2.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________. A.a good quality B.the cause of unhappiness C.harmful to people D.a weak point of shy people 3.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________. A.good B.unreal C.very reasonable D.harmful 4.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A.Shyness helps us to develop our potential B.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C.Shyness can block our chances for a rich life D.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem 5.It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________. A.should find more of their weakness B.should understand themselves in the right way C.had better ignore their weakness D.can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem KEY: BADCB Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead. 6.Satellites travel above space. A.T B.F 7.We use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere because the weather forms there. A.T B.F 8.Meteorologists forecast the weather after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones. A.T B.F 9.Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for five days. A.T B.F 10.The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in weather forecasting. A.T B.F KEY: BAABA In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________ A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. B.The role of time in social life over the world. C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S. D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same. 12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______ A.A matter of work. B.A matter of life or death. C.You want to see him or her.

Scuba(戴水肺) diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world. You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are like a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth. During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It is cold, and it is dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. Besides the coldness and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger - other animals. Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal. 6.People want to dive in the sea because they want to find the secrets of the undersea world. A.T B.F 7.In the daytime, when you dive in the sea, you can see everything green and blue. A.T B.F 8.Animals will meet four types of danger under the deep sea.

A.T B.F KEY: AABBB There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 11.Our long-term goals mean a lot _______. A.if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B.if we complete the short-term goals C.if we have dreams of the future D.if we put forward some plans 12.New short-term goals are built upon______. A.a daily basis B.your achievement in a week C.current activities D.the goals that have been completed 13.When we complete each step of our goals, ________.

B.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. C.Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us. D.We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed. KEY: BDCCC The word "horsepower" was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world's first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air on one minute. His engine could lift a 33-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. 6.The passage says that Watt made the first widely used steam engine. A.T B.F 7.Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight. A.T B.F 8.He made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse. A.T B.F 9.One horsepower would equal the weight of one horse. A.T B.F 10.The possible title for this passage is The Origin of the Term "Horsepower". A.T B.F KEY: ABABA In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________ A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. B.The role of time in social life over the world.

After hours of searching, Roosevelt and his group had not come across any wild animals. Finally, the group did track down and surrounded a helpless bear. One of the guides asked the president to shoot the bear so he could win a hunting trophy (奖励). The president raised his riffle first and then put down his gun, letting the poor bear go. News reporters throughout the country reported the story, spreading Roosevelt's kind act. Not long after this report, a famous cartoonist named Clifford Benyman drew a cartoon based on Roosevelt's rescue of the bear. When a store owner in Brooklyn saw the cartoon, he decided to make toy bears to sell in his shop. He asked the president Roosevelt for permission to use the name. "Teddy's Bear" for his toys, as a reminder of the bear Roosevelt had set free. Nowadays, everyone knows these toys as Teddy Bears, but few people know that they were named after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. 6.Roosevelt and his friends went to Mississippi for hunting in November 1902.

A.T B.F KEY: AABBA Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king's palace in England. Then workers were sent for and a big platform(台子)was made. With the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole year and at last the pictures were ready. Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform, but he didn't know it because he was thinking of his pictures. The worker saw everything. "What should I do?" he thought. "Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed. "So the worker quickly took some paint(漆)and threw it at the pictures. "What are you doing?" cried the painter, running quickly forward to his pictures. 11.James Thornhill was an English ______.

An important way of reading a large, big-city newspaper is to put it into different sections. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, ads? Does your newspaper have other sections? News stories give facts, not the reporters' opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without putting the writers' names on. You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines (新闻标题) to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages. Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper. Important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently. 6.Important news items are usually on the inside pages. A.T B.F 7.A good way to read a newspaper is to find separate sections and read according to your needs. A.T B.F 8.Newspaper headlines contain no unnecessary words.

A.T B.F KEY: BAABA What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________ A.The tools he uses. B.The way he uses his tools. C.His ways of learning. D.The various tools he uses. 12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______. A.the importance of information B.the importance of thinking C.the difference between scientists and ordinary people D.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs 13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _________. A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times B.does not allow any changes even under different conditions C.can be used for many purposes D.leaves no room for improvement 14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________. A.that measurements are keys to success in science B.that accuracy of mathematics C.that investigations are important in science D.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations 15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________ A.The theory of relativity. B.Exactness is the core of science. C.Scientists are different from ordinary people. D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. KEY: BCACD In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu above the counter, and say what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip. In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier as you leave. In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her yours. If you don't eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip. In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you don't like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter. 6.There are three types of restaurants mentioned here.

But few people think of the wonder a needle works in the hands of those who practice acupuncture. During the past ten years of so, I have been suffering from a terrible headache. It seems to be getting from bad to worsethese days. Last night I got a sudden pain in my head. It was so terrible that I could hardly bear it. Although I swallowed all kinds of pain-killers, I didn't feel any better. It seemed that there was nothing I could do but phone for a doctor. One of our neighbors happened to be with us. He was not a doctor, but he timidly offered his help, saying "Do you mind if I tried acupuncture on you? These needles may possibly do you some good."I agreed. In a moment, he had taken out a few needles from his purse. Without a moment's delay, he fixed a few needles into the skin on my head here and there. Before long, I felt thoroughly relieved. Just then, the doctor sped through my house and said,"Where is our patient?" "Sorry, Doctor, You are too late. It's killed!" I answered in delight. It's a miracle, isn't it? 6.The word ''name'' in the first paragraph means to give a name to the needles.

English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We come from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers". Today "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too.
