It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid?off (下岗) co?workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.

Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve,the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse,” Burchell says.

Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from — even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress.

But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job — it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure — gives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a man's self?worth depends on his job.

1.Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?

A.They have to do more work since then.

B.They have no chance to find better jobs.

C.They have to work with inexperienced workers.

D.They constantly worry about losing their job.

2.What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A.Not having a paid job.

B.Fierce competition for jobs.

C.Not knowing what will happen.

D.Pressure to work longer hours.

3.What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?

A.Advice on preparing a job interview.

B.Advice to those in insecure industries.

C.Some knowledge of psychology.

D.Difference in men and women.

4.What could be the best title for the text?

A.Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?

B.Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless?

C.Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?

D.Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?

I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt. You might think that means I'm not as safe as someone who passed on their first attempt. But would you feel safer with no driver at all? Maybe not, and that's why automotive firms have included driver?assist functions in their driverless cars. This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.

Google is one producer that has prototype driverless cars. These cars have been newly equipped with auto?steering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving. But this is just a stage — the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon. The director of Google's self?drive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11?year?old son will never have to take a driving test. To achieve that, the cars need to be on the roads in five years. He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.

According to Chris, about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year. That number is equivalent to a jet falling out of the sky every day. He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problems. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities, get rid of parking lots, we need self?drive cars,” he says.

Google's prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the car reacted safely.

Some are not convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances.

1.According to Paragraph 1, what is the author's chief concern about driverless cars?

A.Functions. B.Safety.

C.Price. D.Appearance.

2.Chris Urmson mentioned his 11?year?old son in order to show that ________.

A.traditional cars are harmful for kids

B.his son is not good at driving

C.his son is a slow learner in driving

D.driverless cars will come soon

3.What is Chris Urmson's comment on self?drive cars?

A.They can solve many existing problems.

B.They are safer than a jet plane.

C.They can completely change our cities.

D.They should change gradually.

4.What can we learn from the text?

A.Google's prototypes will be tested on the roads soon.

B.Self?drive cars are not designed for children or women.

C.Concerns remain about the reliability of self?drive cars.

D.Driving tests will be easier to pass in the near future.

】七选五填空。

We all face quantities of stresses in day-to-day living, whether at work, in the home, or anywhere in between. 1. Here's how stress can help us on an everyday basis.

◆ Sharpen your memory.

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve? Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere? 2. It's because of stress hormones(荷尔蒙)that increase your alertness(机敏) when it's most needed.

3.

Successful employees turn stress into motivation. Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines? Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.

◆ Helping you resist the attack of illness.

4. Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body's defenses against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.

◆ Making your life more interesting.

Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date, conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 5.

A.Helping you get an advantage at work.

B.Helping you get through difficult times.

C.This will happen whenever you are stressed.

D.That's one way your brain responds to stress.

E. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.

F. But they're the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.

G. But handled properly, stress can have many benefits for the body and mind.

Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions. Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world. 1.. Here is a short list of main reasons trees are necessary for improving our living conditions.

●Trees produce oxygen

2.. A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter (过滤器) that cleans the air we breathe. Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants.

●Trees clean the soil

The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. 3.. Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and so on.

●Trees are carbon sinks

To produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. 4.. This locking?up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas.

5.

Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.

A.We could not exist as we do if there were no trees

B.Trees help clean the sky

C.A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces

D.Trees control noise pollution

E.Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world

F.The modern human community has other more practical reasons to admire and honor trees

G.Trees can either store harmful pollutants or change the pollutants into less harmful forms

It is 7 am and the alarm is going off. You know you have to be out of bed to catch the bus. But the urge to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong.

Sounds familiar? Why is it that teens find it difficult to get themselves out of bed in time every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?

During adolescence, the body goes through many changes and these include a shift in sleep patterns. Researchers from MIT have been tracking the body's need for sleep in teenagers. They found that though adolescents need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day, they get to bed later and later with each passing year. In fact, the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20! So by the time a 10?year?old who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18, his body naturally wants to stay up till 10:30 pm or 11 pm.

According to researchers, this is because of a hormone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland — a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin regulates the body's natural day?night rhythms. It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering his body's core temperature. In teens, melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Likewise, the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning, making it hard for them to wake up early.

A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week. During sleep, important body functions and brain activities happen. So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later — not before 8:30 am. This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.

1.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that if you sleep late, the next day you should ________.

A.stay sharp B.skip breakfast

C.get up late D.stay up late

2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The students want to stay up.

B.The shifts of the sleep cycle.

C.The pineal gland secretes melatonin.

D.The adolescents sleep late.

3.The teens go to sleep later than before because ________.

A.melatonin is secreted much later

B.melatonin regulates the sleep time

C.they sleep a lot in the daytime

D.they need to finish their homework

4.According to AAP's recommendation, middle and high schools should ________.

A.let teens sleep in the day

B.let the students be active

C.delay the start time

D.start later at 8 am
