How do you feel about watching other people work?

  Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.

  Right now, I'm sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling(打捆)the big field on top of the hill.She's been haying that field for over ten years.I know:I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.

  She picked a great day for baling.It's not too hot, and there's a nice breeze.On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field.Didn't stop her, though.She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work.I remember when I would have done the same thing.

  While I'm here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay(干草)train,” a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon.You'd think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor.But somehow she manages.When she's finished, her tracks are very straight.

  The whole time she's haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he's afraid she'll drive away without him.Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.

  The way the machine works is pure poetry.Each row is pushed into shape.When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together.A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon.The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.

  That's not to say it works perfectly.Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row.That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.

  I can remember when Beth's mother was her age.She looked an awful lot like Beth does now.Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.

  Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again.Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.

(1)

We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ________.

[  ]

A.

bought the tractor for Beth

B.

(2)

C.

unforgettable

D.

changeable

(3)

Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be ________.

[  ]

A.

tied up

B.

dried up

C.

cut up

D.

lined up

(4)

A.How much sleep you need

Sleep cycles & stages, lack of sleep.

Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind.

Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood, energy, efficiency and ability to handle stress.

B.Panic attacks and panic disorder

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear.Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems.They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities.But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps, the better.

C.How to stop worrying

Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing, not motivating or productive.Worrying can be, when it spurs you to take action, helpful to solve a problem.You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief.

D.Generalizes anxiety disorder

Everyone gets worried sometimes, but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder(GAD), worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax.

E.What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs

Under guidance from a health professional, medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety, but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety.Medication doesn’t cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution.Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns, including the risk of addiction.

F.Understanding stress

Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands.For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life.Stress isn’t always bad.In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best.But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.

以下是相关人物介绍,请把人物与其要求对的身体不适症状匹配起来。

1.Jane seldom goes out.Her heart may pound violently and she may stop breathing.She may feel dizzy and sick to her stomach.She may even feel like she’s dying or going crazy.That may even cause her to withdraw from normal activities.With the help of her doctor, she can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of panic and regain control of her life.

2.Thomson is a middle-aged architect.He used to be quick-minded and could come up with good ideas in group meetings.But recently, he finds it difficult to have a good design and he has much more hesitation before taking action, which worried him a lot.After lots of thinking, Thomson decides to try solving his problem himself first.

3.James is a 100% workaholic.As the boss of a small firm competing with other big companies, James feels that he’d better work 24/7 or he may never succeed, or even worse, fail.So he and his employers often work overtime.But lately, James finds himself not as efficient as before and even dozes off during the day.He is always tired and sleepy.Worse still, he is under a lot of stress.

4.Linda is a single working mum who is showing symptoms of anxiety.She is talking to her doctor and she is weighing the benefits of taking drugs against its drawbacks.Her doctor insists that other therapies and lifestyle changes may help her.So she must make a careful decision whether to take drugs or change her lifestyle.

5.Sandy is a journalist of a fashion magazine, who has to spend a lot of time looking for interesting news and stories every day.She has to present high-quality articles before deadlines and her boss, the chief editor, is quite demanding and harsh on her.She used to think that stress urged her to work more productively but now it seems more than she can take.
