18.As the pace of life continues to increase,we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from looming till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential 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 it is often supposed 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 performance 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 material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically.In fact we make a choice between"fight"or"flight",and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress is,it involves the same response.It is when   such a reaction  lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot 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.

A.not fearing stress                      B.not depending on others

6.The round-the-clock(24小时不断的) availability that cell phone have brought to people's lives may be taking a toll on family life,a new study suggests.The study,which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years,found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout die study period were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and,in turn,less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essenrially(本质上) means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear.Work life may invade home life when a parent ia taking job-related calls at home,for instance-or family issue may start to take up work time.For example,a child may call mom at work,telling her"microwave exploded",explained Noclle Chesley.an assistant professor of sociology at the Univcisity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study.The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing forever 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 hours to make sure their expectations are‘reasonable'"."For their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time,"Chesley said.
61.What does the underlined phrase"taking a toll on"probably mean in Paragraph 1?D

C.Extending.                          D.Damaging.

A.less satisfied with their family life                
B.less satisfied with their work
C.angry with their troublesome children             
D.unwilling to get married at an early age
64.According to Chesley,what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?B
A.Refuse to use cell phones.                       
B.Separate work hours from family time.
C.Ignore coming calls during family time.

10.Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day,and mine is no difference.Once the national holiday arrives,my mom rises early to make the meal.She puts a turkey in the oven,chops carrots and bakes pies.I'm sorry to say that the men in the family-my dad,my younger brother and myself-rarely pitch in to help.Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2pm every Thanksgiving Day,family members seat themselves around the kitchen table.Plates of turkey,vegetables,salad,rolls and pies cover it.At this point,we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes,but it's not yet time to eat.
First,we must bow our heads,close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have.Under normal circumstances,I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for.I grew up in a loving family.My parents,who aren't wealthy,took out loans to help me pay for university.
But,the funny thing is,every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks,my mind usually goes blank.I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually,though,we all finish our short prayers and dig in.To be sure,the day includes other highlights-visiting with family and watching football.But usually around 6pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.

36.The purpose of the text is toB.
A.tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day

C.having a big meal                   D.watching football
38.Why does the author's mind usually"go blank"when saying a prayer of thanks?B
A.He is too thankful to say a word.
B.His mind is on the food before him.
C.He feels too excited to speak.
D.He is shy to speak in public.

A.chat with others                   B.make a hole
C.mix things up                      D.start eating
40.What can we conclude from the text?C
A.On Thanksgiving Day,men do nothing but eat.
B.The author is a middle school student.
C.The author's family is not rich,but it's a loving one.

8.On the first day of the 11th grade,our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem.I told him that I couldn't do it.He asked,"Why not?"I paused,and then I said,"Because I'm educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞)."
    He came from behind his desk and looked at me."Don't ever say that again.Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality,"he said.
    It was a very special moment for me.Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade,and I was put back into the fourth grade.When I was in the eighth grade,I failed again.
    But Mr Washington changed my life.This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them,and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were.He often said,"You have greatness within you."
    One day,I caught up with him in the parking place and said,"Mr Washington,is there greatness within me,sir?"
    He said,"Yes,Mr Brown."
"But what about the fact that I failed English,math,and history?What about that,sir?I'm slower than most kids."
"It doesn't matter.It just means that you have to work harder.Your grades don't determine who you are or what you can produce in your life."
"I want to buy my mother a house."
"It is possible,Mr Brown.You can do that."And he turned to walk away.
"Mr Washington?"
"What do you want now?"
"Uh,I'm the one,sir.One day you're going to hear my name.I'm the one,sir."
    School was a real struggle for me.Mr Washington put many demands on me.He made me believe that I could do it.At the end of that year,I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
    Years later,I produced five programs on public television.When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel,I had some friends call him.I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me.He said,"May I speak to Mr Brown,please?"
"Oh,Mr Washington,is that you?"
"Yes,it's me.You were the one,weren't you?"
"Yes,sir,I was."
56.What does Mr Washington mean by saying"Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality"?C
A.You needn't have the same opinion as others
B.You should believe what other people say.
C.What other people say about you may not be correct
D.The doctor made a mistake.
57.What happened to the author at last?D
A.He entered a good university
B.He earned much honor.
C.He got a good job
D.He made television programs.
58.In the passage,the author implies thatD.
A.people shouldn't believe what doctors say
B.no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C.no one is really educable mentally retarded
D.a good teacher can change a student's life
59.The best title for the passage would be"B".
