I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didnt earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasnt a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing. Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didnt have any time for things like that any more. Theres a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps thats why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldnt believe it. Luckily it wasnt very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just havent any time! My job takes everything out of me! Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something as I used to. But if I do that, I wont earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just dont know what I should do. What do you think?39. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now?A. His job. B. His pay. C. His means of transport. D. His health.40. According to the passage, when the author got the better job, which of the following is NOT true?A. He got higher pay. B. His working hours werent long.C. He found it very stressful. D.

What can we learn about the author?A. The author is not sure what he should do now.B. The author has taken the doctors advice already.C. The author has got another new job.D. The author feels much better now.CPeople have been listening to music to get in the mood for hundreds of years. Recently, there is scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite happens when people feel aggressive (好斗的) or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers (传单) in support of the local disabled athletes foundation.The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to hand out flyers. But in the group that heard the aggressive music, less than 20% were willing. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate (合作).While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can increase with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates (刺激) workers minds, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood report more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a persons ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence on cooperation and job satisfaction, etc. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business. 43. The underlined word “back up” in the first paragraph can be replaced by“_”.A. support B. leaveC. refuse D. compare44. According to the text, people who are in a good mood _.A. can understand the musicB. have a good taste in musicC. might do well in their workD. are influenced by others 45. The text is mainly about _.A. effort and success B. music and science C. work and lifeD. music and mood第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。答案写在答题卡上。Here are some top tips for world travelers.Travel light. 46 Its no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city.
