仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress(紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities(责任) Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇) in our lives Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations(失意, 挫败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制)their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard(标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude(态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching is the Bible(圣经)"Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒). " is good advice from the health point of view.

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. I am Cathy Brown. I am now working for the Sunshine Travel Service(旅行社) in Changsha. I have just come back from Taiwan, the biggest island of china. It is in the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) to the east of Fujian. Last week I took a group of French Holiday-makers for a week's trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of the country. And there are a lot of places of interest. My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island. People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake. There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. One our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful sunrise(日出). Taiwan is a wonderful place to visit.
