person is angry，it can speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure and many medical problemsdoctors thought that when people were angry，they could prevent these medical problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freelybut recently some doctors didnt agree on thisthey said that if people who express anger repeatedly would harm themselvesthey said these two can cause many medical problems they believe that those who express their anger repeatedly may be more likely to develop heart disease and nervous diseases，and they believe that those who keep their angel inside may face a greater danger

heart canger can cause medical problems unless dealt with properlydexpressing ones anger frequently will benefit your health46which of the following is the best way to deal with anger according to doctors? aadmitting being angry and knowing the reason why you are angry bkeeping yourself calm and try not to lose temper whatever happens ctelling jokes or finding humor whenever you get angry dmanaging to cool down and expressing yourself calmly47the title for the passage may be aways for keeping fit banger is dangerous to your healthcthe cause of anger ddamaging emotioncthe day after thanksgiving is considered the first day of the holiday shopping season in the united states.it even has a name “black friday.” the name comes from the idea that this is the day when store owners begin to show a profit（利润） for the year.in the past, before calculators（计算器） and computers, workers recorded the profits and losses of american businesses in special books.they used red ink to record losses. they used black ink to record profits.they used the term “in the red” to mean losing money. “in the black” meant making a profit.so “black friday” was the day when the store owners moved from being “in the red” to “in the black.”a marketing services company carried out a public opinion study about shopping last month. it asked almost one thousand americans about their gift buying plans. one-third said they plan to go to stores to shop on the day after thanksgiving.the study found that these shoppers are mainly young people, probably because older people do not want to deal with huge crowds.in fact, business leaders say many older americans are doing their shopping at home - on the computer. they say the day most people shop online is the monday after “black friday.”they even have a name for it - “cyber (网络的)monday.”48. which is the busiest shopping day of the year according to the text?a. black fridayb. the day before christmasc. the saturday before christmasd. cyber monday49. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. businessmen prefer the term “in the red” to “in the black”.b. “black friday” means store owners begin to earn money.c. the largest amount of sales is made on “black friday”.d. the largest number of people go to stores on “black friday”.50. why dont people spend money on “black friday”?a. they are not satisfied with the quality of the goods sold.b. some shops secretly increase their prices on that day.c. too many people in the store discourage their shopping desire.d. they are waiting for a more competitive price.51. from the passage we can conclude that _.a. stores failed to earn much money from older people on “black friday”.b. “cyber monday” has a larger amount of sales than “black friday”.c. all young people prefer going to stores on “black friday”.d. older people like shopping on-line because of cheaper prices. dlike many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. there are two ways to go about getting one. first there is the traditional (传统的) way. find some friends and form a group. learn to play the guitar or the drums. write your own songs. spend hours arguing about the band name, then go out on the road. the next step is to spend a year or two touring. if you are any good, the crowds will get bigger. in the end an artist from a record (唱片) company may come to a show. if he or she likes you, there may be a deal (交易). this is the path traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. success means fame and wealth. and failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children. over the last few years a different path to success has become known. boy bands like boyzone and girl bands like spice girls dont come together on their own . they are created by managers and record companies. their image (形象) is strictly controlled. professional (专业) song writers usually write their music. this is a convenient arrangement (安排) and the public seems to love the result. though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way. in the early 1960s an american businessman called berry gordy founded motown records. motown is short for “motor town”. the record company was based in the city of detroit(底特律), where thousands of african-americans had moved to work in the car industry. they brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. this style later became known as “soul music”. berry gordy was a diamond miner. motown stars were not just given songs to sing. they were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.52. the passage is mainly about _. a. why the record company is forming more bands b. how the band has developed and become popular c. what is the traditional way of forming a band d. when the band became popular53. if a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance _. a. to travel in big citiesb. to meet an businessman c. to perform before an artistd. to experience failure again and again54. from the fourth paragraph, we can draw a decision (推论) that _. a. motown was only enjoyed by the workers in detroit b. motown showed the style of the black americans c. detroit used to be famous for its music industry d. detroit was founded by african-americans55. the underlined word “where” in paragraph 4 refers to _. a. the city of detroit b. the record company c. motown d. the diamond mine第二节： 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （zhang=z mr. smith=m）z: hello, are you mr. smith from the united
