preview of the auction（拍卖） of yves saint laurent and pierre berges art collection at the grand palais in paris, france, feb, 21, 2009. chinese lawyers have asked the french court to stop auction house christies putting two bronze relics（文物）looted (掠夺)from china under the hammer, lawyers said friday.a paris court on monday ruled against stopping the sale of twolooted chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at christies on wednesday. under the ruling of the tribunal de grandeinstance in paris, the plaintiff（起诉人）, the association for theprotection of chinese art in europe（apcae）,was ordered topay compensation（赔偿）to the defendant.ren xiaohong, a lawyer for apcae, told xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “we hope to arouse public attention in europe on the fate of numerous chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” ren said.the qing dynasty（16441911）relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort yuanmingyuan. they were looted when the palace was burnt down by anglo-french allied forces during the second opium war in 1860.the pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer yves saint laurent. they have been put up for auction by his partner, pierre berge. the two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.so far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to china, while the whereabouts of five others are unknown.56the two bronze animal heads were displayed at the grand palais in paris so that . athey could be collected and well preservedbthe photographers could take picturescthe public could see them in advancedthey couldnt be sold at auction57the significance to stop the sale of two bronze animal heads is to .afetch between 16 million and 20 million eurosbdraw public attention to the chinese works stolen in the pastcmake the world know more about history of the qing dynastydfind the other five bronze animal heads and return them to china58which of the following is not true?athe 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.bthe 2 bronze animal heads havent been returned to china.cthe 12 bronze animal heads were used as imperial decoration.dyuanmingyuan was once burnt down by anglo-french allied forces.59the passage is most probably taken from .aa newspaperban advertisementca history textbookdan introduction of auctionbhaving one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. but with a little effort, you can forget it much faster often within a day or two.walk it offexercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. a person whos in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.tune it outlistening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences weve had.give yourself a pep talkstop and listen to whats on your mind. bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. write them all down on paper, the pessimistic messages youve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. ( “i still dont have a job.” vs “i have two interviews next week.”)reduce your stressrelaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. these include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but arent. one easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. one reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. by taking control over certain areas, you realize youre not helpless. you can make changes in your mood and life.avoid things that wont improve your mood.tv may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激） your mind something that the tv show “neighbors” wont do. and before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. a better choice? research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta（面食）,produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.60which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?adoing nothing about it.bexercising and enjoying music.cwriting down negative thoughts.dtalking about it with neighbors.61why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?ait helps remove bad mood.bit brings us a new technique.cit is not complicated to do so.dit is an area to be easily controlled.62tv may not improve your mood because it .ashows what happens around youbdoes not energize youcreminds you of eating and drinkingdproduces a calming effect63which would be the best title for this passage?aenergy level and stressbhow to beat a bad moodcbad mood and our lifedhow to control your feeling.cit often happens that a number of applicants with almost the same qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. in their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. how then does the employer make a choice? usually on the basis of an interview.there are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. the main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. as often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidates likely performance. the main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. many employers, for example, will overlook occasional mistakes from their secretary if she has a pleasant personality.it is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability. unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. there are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful（自夸的）, direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. candidates who interview badly tend to be either very shy or over-confident. they either talk too little or never stop talking. they are either over polite or a bit rude.64people argue over the interview mainly because they have .adifferent purposes in the interviewbdifferent experiences in interviewscdifferent standards of selectionddifferent ways of selection 65the underlined word “subjective” means “based on ones rather than facts” apersonality bcharactercopiniondability 66the purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate aa link between success in interview and personality bconnections between work abilities and personality cdifferences in interview experienceddifferences in personal behavior67what is the authors attitude towards the interview?ahe thinks it is a good way of selectionbhe doesnt quite agree with itche is neither for nor against itdit is not clear d.since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationshipsone strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstancessocial support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal tiesthose of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficultiespeople with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such tiesstudies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likelysocial support cushions stress in a number of waysfirst, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value usour self respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficultiessecond, other people often provide us with informational supportthey help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to themthird, we typically find social companionship supportiveengaging in leisure time activities with others helps us to mee
