the things you haveIt is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video，and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave ovenYour bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you needYou almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer，holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week Nowperhaps，more than ever before，people are wondering what life is all about，and what it is forSeeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the worldThey feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives，leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimesMany are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last yearOne couple who downshifted is Daniel and LizThey used to work in central LondonHe was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bankThey would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区)，leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆)Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock，and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetingsThey both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by Nowadays，they run a farm in the mountains of Wales“I always wanted to have a farm here”says Daniel，“and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshiftIts taken some time getting used to，but its been worth itWe have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidaysHowever，I think its made us stronger as a family，and the children are a lot happier” Liz，however，is not quite sure“I used to enjoy my job，even though it was hard work and long hoursIm not really a country girl，but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animalsOne thing I do like，though，is being able to see more of my childrenMy advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all”51What do the first two paragraphs tell us? APeople seldom work long hours to make money BPeople hardly buy more things than necessary CPeople are sure everything they own is in the right place DPeople realize there is more to life than just making money52When Daniel was a reporter he _ Alived in central London Bdisliked his job Cmissed his children Dwas well paid53Daniel and Liz both agree that me move to the farm _ Awas easy to organize Bhas improved family life Cwas extremely expensive Dhas been a total success54The underlined word“downshifting”in the second paragraph means _ Arepairing your car by yourself Bspending money carefully Cmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life Dliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a weekBSleep StruggleDRMAEJORIE SEIDENFELD ANSWERS YOUR HEALRH OUESTIONS I have such a terrible time falling asleep every night that Im always tired and its affected my schoolworkWhat should I do? Mindy in Nevada One in every five young people has a sleep problem，so youre not aloneGetting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularlyIts very important for your body Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night，when they actually need nine hoursAnd making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping in on weekends doesnt really workIn fact，sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good，if you have sleep problems What happens if you dont get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights，you could suffer serious problemsLack of sleep can affect learning and memoryWorse，if your sleep difficulties last a long time，that could lead to anxiety or depression (抑郁)Therefore，youve got to have some healthy sleep habitsBelow are some suggestions： GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIMEincluding weekends，if possible WAKE UP AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY MORNINGWhen you sleep late just one morning during the week，it may disturb your body clockThis will make it hard for you to sleep that night DO SOMETHING RELAXING before going to bed EXERCISE DURJNG THE DAY Dont exercise right before going to bed AVOID DRINKING ALCOHOLAlcohol makes you excitedThis prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night DONT SMOKESmoking is always bad for the bodySmoking before bedtime keeps you awake If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you，speak to your doctorDo not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctorMany have strong side effects55According to the passage，if you have sleep problems for a few nights，you could be _ Alonely Bserious Cforgetful Ddepressed56The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _ Aeat vegetables and exercise regularly Bmake up for lost sleep on weekends Cfollow a fixed timetable for sleep Dsleep seven hours every day57We can learn from the suggestions that _ Agetting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night Blistening to soft music before going to bed may help you fan asleep Csmokers and those who drink alcohol usually have sleep problems Dexercising in the evening will help you get to sleep58Which of the following is true according to the passage? ASleep problems are serious among young people BSleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep CYour eating habits will be broken due to lack of sleep DYoull no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tipsC A few years ago I had an“aha!”moment regarding handwriting I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial taskIt occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must beI finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point It was a very important event in the computerization of lifea sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emailsThere was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one anothers handwriting the way we knew voices or faces As a child visiting my fathers office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridgeexcept that those notes were signed“dad”instead of“RFW” All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by FloreyShe shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age cant be expected to learn to hold a pen I dont buy it I dont want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal association that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard doesFor many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century ItalyThat may sound impossibly grandas if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintingsHowever，they have worked in many school systems59Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleagues handwriting? AHe had worked with his colleague long enough BHis colleagues handwriting was so beautiful CHis colleagues handwriting was so terrible DHe still had a lot of work to do60People working together in an office used to _ Atalk more about handwriting Btake more notes on workdays Cknow better one anothers handwriting Dcommunicate better with one another61According to the author，handwritten notes _ Aare harder to teach in schools Battract more attention Care used only between friends Dcarry more message62We can learn from the passage that the author _ Athinks it impossible to teach handwriting Bdoes not want to lose handwriting Cputs the blame on the computer Ddoes not agree with FloreyD Next time a customer comes to your office，offer him a cup of coffeeAnd when youre doing your holiday shopping online，make sure youre holding a large glass of iced teaThe physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth，while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical lessons being drawn from recent research by psychologist John ABargh Psychologists have known that one persons perception (感知) of anothers“warmth”is a powerful determiner in social relationshipsJudging someone to be either“warm”or“cold”is a primary consideration，even trumping evidence that a“cold”person may be more capableMuch of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences，Bargh argues，when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations，particularly warmth and coldnessClassic studies by Harry Harlow，published in 1958，showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth“mother”rather than one made of wire，even when the wire“mother”carried a food bottleHarlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills Feelings of“warmth”and“coldness”in social judgments appear to be universalAlthough no worldwide study has been done，Bargh says that describing people as“warm”
