     Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress.
Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.
     Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not
happen the way they planned. They are called "Type A" personalities. Studies suggest that these people
often get stress-related disorders. The "Type B" personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with
all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.
     Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better
able to deal with stress than men are. However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop
depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book,
"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." He notes that men and women have Opposite ways of
dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman
suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems.
     Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy
foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing. Exercise is one of the most
effective stress-reduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition,
exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease.
     Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends
or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people
should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.
1. According to the experts, _____.
A. people respond to stress quite differently
B. people make the same response to stress
C. unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily
D. personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress
2. Compared with "Type A" personalities, "Type B" personalities _____.
A. cause more troubles
B. are less able to cope with different situations
C. are more easily affected by stress
D. tend to solve problems more peacefully
3. By saying "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", John Gray means that they _____.
A. experience emotions in a different way
B. cope with stress in a different way
C. suffer from stress in the similar way

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot(情节)and the greatest interests, be as exciting or dramatic(戏剧性)I’m not sure about it.

   Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in  our everyday life too—in the rhythm(旋律)of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.

   It is well said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

1.  What does the writer say more about in the passage?

A. Life full of music.

B. Life without music.

C. Importance of music.

D. Development of music.

2From the text, we know that many people     .

A. don’t realize the importance of music

B. get along quite well without music

C. go to the concert instead of enjoying films

D. think music would be less exciting than films

3In the writer’s opinion, if there was no music in films or TV plays,      .

A. the cinema and theatre would be quiet

B. we would lose some of the audience

C. everything would be as exciting as before

D. it would be hard to imagine the result

4What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?

A. Flying                  B. Looking

C. Singing                 D. Living

Make me laugh, now!

  In a room filled with cigarette smoke and the smell of beer, people are laughing as a little man on stage talks.This is stand-up, a major form of live entertainment in the West.

  It could be held in a theatre or just a bar.The basic idea is that a person, or sometimes two, "stands up" on a stage and makes the audience laugh.

  The performer could tell a story or lots of little stories.He could just tell jokes or discuss the most serious issues of the day.The point is that the audience expects to be made to laugh.

  Audiences at stand-up shows are not polite.If they don't find the person funny they will shout out.These people are called "hecklers"(诘难者).If a comedian

(喜剧演员)is good he will be able to shout back at the heckler with some clever response(应答).

  Normally, the comedian has prepared a script, which he has learnt.But often they might think of something different while on stage.This is called improvising

(即兴发挥).

  Different stand-up comedians have different styles.Some are called straight men.These will never laugh or smile and will try to appear very serious even though what they are talking about is very funny.Others play the fool.These act and say things that are very stupid so that you can't help laughing at them.Another type is

the person who can copy famous people's voices.They will pretend to be someone famous in a funny situation.

Count Me Out

  Call me old-fashioned.Call me old.Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.

  I do not possess a computer at home or at the office.Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone.Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown.Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.

  Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper.It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said:“Awareness is the key.Visit spfulford.com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site.So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?

  There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet.You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online.This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years.There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love.They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.

  And this is by no means all.More amazing things are yet to come in the near future.I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist.“The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said.“But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”

  If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers.As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.

(1)

What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?

[  ]

A.

Get me out of the Internet world.

B.

Computers are trying to take control of life.

C.

Modern technology pushes old people away.

D.

Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.

(2)

According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are _________

[  ]

A.

unnecessary

B.

convenient

C.

expensive

D.

advanced

(3)

What might the author like about the future computer?

[  ]

A.

Taking blames.

B.

Curing illnesses.

C.

Delivering messages.

D.

Responding to emotions.
