Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska，the study's first author，explained：“Women with job authority－the ability to hire，fire，and influence pay－have greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”
The study followed 1，500 middle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.
The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels of authority at work，women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work，however，it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority actually had a 10% lower risk of depression，while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.
Dr Pudrovska continued：“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental health.These women have more education，higher incomes，better jobs，and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet，they have worse mental health than lower－status(地位)women.”
The cause of this discrepancy is not known，but Dr Pudrovska says：“Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety，negative social interactions，negative stereotypes，prejudice，social isolation(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics，they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的)．This causes mental stress.”
Men，on the other hand，do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.

The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness,which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in distant and isolated Arctic regions explorers have reposed being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long periods of time．After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty(通风的) room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to complete tiredness. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．
If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains—taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people are more likely to stay together indoors in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin,but all they do is to relieve the symptoms．
1.The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that ________.
A. colds are really full of myths
B. viruses are the factors causing colds
C. colds are more serious than other illnesses
D. the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up
2.The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that ________.
A. it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds
B. taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired
C. being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body
D. people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily
3.According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because ________.
A. staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on
B. viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter
C. there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature
D. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter
4.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. the experiments on colds
B. the myths about colds
C. the reason and the way people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.
A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also. (from www.nmet168.com)
1.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of self-control.
B. How to conquer oneself?
C. The relation between a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.
D. A man should keep cool.
2.What’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”?
A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.
B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.
C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.
D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.
3.Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?
A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.
B. You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.
C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.
D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.
4.Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?
A. Be calm in arguing.
B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low.
C. Keep your mouth shut.
D. Try to make the other angry first.

In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.
Even though I had lost my family, I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising help though, I did not seek out it found me. The New York Times told my story. In the weeks that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me. She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".
With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.
Before these people — some of them nameless — I just didn't realize how good people could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers. They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.
1.According to the passage, the author ________.
A. tried to change her life
B. often slept in friends’ homes
C. felt lonely because of her illness
D. felt quite desperate for her father
2.What can we learn about the Door?
A. It is an organization helping homeless teenagers.
B. It is an organization seeking profits.
C. It provides entertainment for children.
D. It reports the stories about the homeless.
3.Which of the following is the correct order to describe the author's life?
a. The newspaper reported her story.
b. She graduated from Harvard University.
c. She slept on the cold floor at night.
d. She joined the committee at the Door.
e. Her mother died from the illness.
A. d→e→c→a→b B. e→c→d→a→b
C. e→c→a→b→d D. b→c→d→e→a
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Patience is a virtue.

“Ceci, wake up. It’s an earthquake!” That’s what Cecilia Wallace heard her mother shouting on the early morning of February 27th.
Cecilia is a 7th-grader. She, her parents and her brother, Sam, were in Chile’s capital city, Santiago, the day a big earthquake hit Chile. And like just about everyone else, they were shaken out of their sleep.
“It was so frightening,” Sam wrote. “The shaking was so huge that I will never go on a ride again.” Cecilia and Sam wrote about their earthquake experiences. Their reports were later posted on the website.
Cecilia, Sam and their parents were staying in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building. They were lucky. Their building stayed standing, because it was built to withstand earthquakes.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Wallace family. More than 800 people died. Many older buildings fell down during the earthquake.
The damage in Santiago wasn’t as bad as in other parts of Chile. So the supermarkets were open for business on the morning of the quake. But it wasn’t business as usual. “The supermarkets have been crazy with people rushing to buy their food for the next while,” Sam wrote.
Not everyone was able to get money to buy food that morning. So Cecilia and Sam made food bags to distribute to people who were begging outside the supermarket. “We gave some to a kid of my age. I made sure he got cookies and bread.” Sam and Cecilia’s mother wrote that the kids also collected money for the Red Cross.
It’s certainly an experience Cecilia, Sam and their parents will never forget. Thankfully, they lived to tell their stories.
1.What was Cecilia doing when the earthquake happened?
A．Walking in the street.
B．Having class at school.
C．Sleeping in bed.
D．Playing with Sam in a park.
2.The underlined word “distribute” probably means “_____”.
A．give outB．throw awayC．give upD．sell out
3.Why were Cecilia and her family able to survive the earthquake?
A．Because they escaped before their building fell down.
B．Because they managed to escape from the fallen building.
C．Because they were helped out of the fallen building by others.
D．Because the building they were living in was strong enough.
4.From the text we can see Cecilia is a _____ girl.
A．humorousB．kind-heartedC．braveD．selfish
5.How can we know more about Cecilia’s experiences in the earthquake?
A．By watching TV.
B．By getting online.
C．By listening to the radio.
D．By reading newspapers.
