选词填空练习01As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. But relaxation is _1_ for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to _2_ it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of _3_ that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such _4_ are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of _5_ difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both physically and _6_. In fact we make choice between flight or fight and in more _7_ days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same _8_. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued _9_ to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cannot _10_ stress from our lives it would be unwise to do so even if we could, we need to find ways to deal with it.A)exposure B)characters C)answer D)chemically E)avoidF)psychologically G)primitive H)transfer I)unusual J)controlK)remove L)escape M)response N)backward O)essential02The typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well-grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such extended families were suited for survival in slow paced _1_ societies. But such families are hard to _2_. They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family _3_ shed its excess weight and the so-called nuclear family emerged-a stripped-down, portable family unit _4_ only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more _5_ than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial counties. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, _6_ even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the stream lining process, a step further by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more _7_ components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A _8_ may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in _9_ between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many _10_ will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.A)transplant B)solution C)gradually D)transport E)elementalF)conflict G)continually H)mobile I)couples J)agriculturalk)including L)compromise M)requires N)primary O)consisting03Videoconferencing is nothing more than a television set or PC monitors with a camera through the videoconferencing, not only your voice but also your face, the surroundings and any other graphic and physical _1_ can be captured and transmitted through the communication system with or without wires. Of course, when you go into the details, the technology involved is very _2_ and the subject matter littered with jargon. Such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or the _3_ behind bandwidth, latency and isochrony(等时性) which are used to explain how videoconferencing works. Good people communication is _4_ in any business, and the more interaction you can achieve, the more likely it is that your _5_ will be the right ones. Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations, but also note _6_ expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking. Meetings are made more _7_ by sharing documents and computer applications that a simple telephone cannot _8_._9_, organizations are discovering the competitive advantages and the power of videoconferencing. With advances in performance, economical pricing, the ability to _10_ essential meeting tools and connectivity to global telephone networks and standardized videoconferencing protocols, videoconferencing is now a practical reality for any organization.A) fortunately B) effective C) images D) articulate E) facialF) manage G) decisions H) connect I) advanced J) integrateK) progressive L) concepts M)pictures N) increasingly O) important04Nowadays, is it possible to tell a persons class just by looking at him? Physical details _1_ tell us about health, diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago, the working class often looked unhealthy, small and was either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often _2_, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such _3_ would no longer be so true. The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their _4_. The most obvious way in which is for the amount of money spent on them. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer had money. Clothes can provide other _5_ as well. The upper classes _6_ to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colors, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colors, made of man-made material. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is _7_.Clothes are _8_ at a price within most peoples reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good, and show some _9_ of wealth to the outside world. Today some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look _10_ and feel important. They want people to look at them.A) available B) background C) different D) tall E) totallyF) taken G) descriptions H) degree I) clues J) aloneK) appear L) consider M) full N) hobby O)fetched05Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often youve judged roughly, said _1_ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and _2_ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isnt it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is _3_, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and _4_ is expressed. I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No _5_ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, Unless you tell me whats worrying you, I cant help you.After some hesitation, the man _6_ that, as executor of his fathers will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his _7_. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking _8_ and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. Thank you, He said, I think Im _9_. And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only _10_ a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.A)heal B)mental C)unkind D)regret E)accuratelyF)confessed G)inheritance H)physical I)cured J)treatK)truly L)unfaithful M)forgiveness N)disturbed O)excuse06What determines the kind of person you are? What factors make you more or less bold, intelligent, or able to read a map? All of these are influenced by the interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were _1_. The study of how genes and environment interact to influence _2_ activity is known as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important _3_ to the biological revolution, providing information about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and behavior.Any research that suggests that _4_ to perform certain behaviors are based in biology is controversial. Who wants to be told that there are limitations to what you can _5_ based on something that is beyond your control, such as your genes? It is easy to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and eye color. But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how _6_ they are, or what career they are likely to choose? A concern of psychological scientists is the _7_ to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture(养育), by genetic makeup and the environment. Increasingly, science _8_ that genes lay the groundwork for many human traits. From this perspective, people are born _9_ like undeveloped photographs: The image is already captured, but the way it _10_ appears can vary based on the development process. However, the basic picture is there from the beginning.A abilities B achieveC appealD complaintsE contributionsF displayed G essentially H eventuallyI extentJ indicatesK proceedsL psychologicalM raised N smartO standard07The popular notion that older people need less sleep than younger adults is a myth, scientists said yesterday.While elderly people _1_ to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger, this has a(n) _2_ effect on their brains performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research.Sean Drummond, a. psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping _3_ straight through the night.More sleep in old age, however, is _4_ with better health, and most older people would feel better and more _5_ if they slept for longer periods, he said.The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to _6_ well does not change, Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego.Its _7_ a myth that older people need less sleep. The healthier an older adult is, the more they sleep like they did when they were _8_. Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from _9_ to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. Thats _10_ from person to person, but the amount of sleep we had at 35 is probably the same amount as we need at 75.A alertB associatedC attractingD clingE continuingF definitelyG differentH efficientlyI formallyJ functionK mixedL negativeM sufficientN tendO younger08As war spreads to many corners of the globe, children sadly have been drawn into the centre of conflicts. In Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Colombia, however, groups of children have been taking part in peace education _1_. The children, after learning to resolve conflicts, took on the _2_ of peacemakers. The Childrens Movement for Peace in Colombia was even nominated (提名) for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. Groups of children _3_ as peacemakers studied human rights and poverty issues in Colombia, eventually forming a group with five other schools in Bogot known as The Schools of Peace.The classroom _4_ opportunities for children to replace angry, violent behaviors with _5_, peaceful ones. It is in the classroom that caring and respect for each person empowers children to take a step _6_ toward becoming peacemakers. Fortunately, educators have access to many online resources that are _7_ useful when helping children along the path to peace. The Young Peacemakers Club, started in 1992, provides a Website with resources for teachers and _8_ on starting a Kindness Campaign. The World Centers of Compassion for Children International call attention to childrens rights and how to help the _9_ of war.

I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly _1_ to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was _2_ to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, _3_ unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up _4_ and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable _5_ I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you cant learn if you dont try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad _6_. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even _7_ bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition _8_. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.Ive learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a _9_. And I know Ill go on doing such things. Its not because Im braver or more daring than others. Im not. But Ill accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can _10_ wonders.A accomplishB advancedC balloonD claimE constantlyF declareG interviewsH limitedI manufactureJ momentsK newsL red
