Everyone may all have the experience of feeling anxious and stressed when having a rough day or having some troubles. Different people may choose different ways to deal with it, and for most people a break for a 10-minute walk may be quite useful.
Anyway, here is another way around: to get a piece of chewing gum, and chew it. According to a Swinburne University of Technology study, gum-chewing has been found to “relieve anxiety, improve alertness(机敏性) and reduce stress among individuals in a laboratory setting.”
Some may argue that a laboratory is not the same as an office. But check out the conditions of the study: individuals were monitored while performing “a group of ‘multi-tasking’ activities.” Doesn’t it sound like the situation in the office?
Here’s a summary of some of the study’s findings:
Gum chewers showed a reduction in anxiety as compared to non-gum chewers by nearly 17 percent during mild stress and nearly 10 percent in appropriate stress.
Gum chewers showed improvement in alertness over non-gum chewers by nearly 19 percent during mild stress and 8 percent in moderate stress.
Improved Performance: Chewing gum resulted in a big improvement in overall performance on multi-tasking activities.
Although these aren’t major improvements, every little bit works and chewing a piece of gum is a lot quicker and easier than slipping outside for a 10-minute walk. So, how does gum work this magic? In part it does so by lowering the level of cortisol(皮质醇)—a steroid(类固醇) hormone that is released in response to stress in your system.
A few words of advice before you reach for the gum: don’t crack your gum, and be sure to chew it with your mouth closed. In fact, I’d say keep the gum out of meetings, because it really looks impolite to others around you.
1.From the study in the text we know that_________________.
A. gum chewers may lack alertness
B. gum chewers tend to be less stressed
C. gum chewers can finish many jobs perfectly
D. gum chewers can reduce their anger easily
2.How does gum work to reduce stress according to the text?
A. It works by improving alertness.
B. It works by allowing a 10-minute walk.
C. It works by reducing one’s level of cortisol.
D. It works by being chewed in a laboratory setting.
3.Which one may the author probably agree with?
A. People can crack gum freely when meeting friends.
B. People should be careful when chewing gum at home.
C. People should chew gum with their mouths closed in a meeting.
D. It is impolite to chew gum in a meeting with people around you.
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to chew gum.
B. How to relieve stress.
C. Chewing gum can relieve stress.
D. Why people love chewing gum.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on Google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．
1.The writer himself felt surprised at ______．
A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”
B．“Long time no see” used as standard American English
C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
D．finding out Americans use the expression every day
2.The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．
A．mixture literature
B．Confucius’ words
C．a kind of cooked dish
D．American changing cultures
3.According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．
A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”
B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
4.The main idea of the passage is that ______．
A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English
B．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America
C．some American expressions can be used in China
D．American English keep being enriched from different cultures
