experiencing stress. too much stress can cause anger, depression and other related symptoms, which you need to seriously look into.the following are simple ways that can be used to deal with stress.be gentle with yourselfthere are times when you are not fair to yourself. often you are harder on yourself than you are on other people. if you can learn to accept yourself just the way you are, especially unconditionally, this would reduce the pressure you apply to yourself.exercisego for a walk. go to the shops. you can join a local walk, swim or jog team. if you are tired out from doing housework and havent left your workstation, have a stretch. change your environment for an hour or so.stop comparing yourself with othersoften you dont realize that a great deal of unhappiness is caused by constant comparisons you make. you say, “if only i had a big house like she has”, “if only my husband were as rich as hers” the comparison is endless. the only comparison that counts is the comparison between where you were and where you are now . by all means, admire others, congratulate them and be proud of their achievements, but remind yourself that only you can decide the standard（标准） you want to set for yourself.talk the stress outsometimes it helps to share or talk about your stress to close friends or family members. the other persons active listening can help.21the passage is mainly about_. a. doing exercise is good for your healthb. how to deal with stress in lifec. comparing yourself with others is wrongd. how to lead a happy life in daily life22according to the fifth paragraph, we should_. a. make comparisons with others constantlyb. remind yourself that youre unhappyc. compare with yourself instead of othersd.set the standard of happiness23what can we learn from the passage? a. comparing with others makes us happy.b. too much stress is bad for our healthc. others put much pressure on us.d. talking out our stress might be dangerousb i am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than 5 percent of americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. a business consultant（顾问）who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. it was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “they are one skill away from great wealth.”there is an old saying that goes, “job means just over broke (破产)”. and unfortunately, i would say that the saying applies to millions of people. because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds ?” almost all the students raise their hands. i then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious: mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.24the author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that_.a. he is just one of the talented peopleb. he is ready to help othersc. he has a sharp sense of hearingd. he knows little about car repairing25“live within their means” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by_ .a. spend more than they can afford b. do in their own wayc. live in their own circle d. live within what they earn26why do talented people earn so little according to the author?a. they dont work hard enough.b. they lack financial intelligence.c. they dont make full use of their talents.d. they have no specialized skills.27the main purpose of the author is to tell us_ .a. how young people can find a satisfactory jobb. what schools should teach studentsc. why so many talented people are poord. how mcdonalds makes much moneycthe english test will be removed from chinas college entrance exam by 2020, according to the ministry of education. the national college entrance exam, known as the “gaokao” has been used to evaluate chinese students for three decades. the ministry of education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change chinas once-in-a-lifetime exam system.the decision has aroused a heated discussion among shanghai educators and parents who doubted whether the reform would reduce the burden of learning english or if the substitute test could reflect a students english skills and help students learn english better.“as far as i see, the reform doesnt mean english is no longer important for chinese students after it is excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” yu said. “in a way, english is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a students english skills under a diverse evaluation system.”yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesnt need excellent english while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.the education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.28what can we learn from the first paragraph?a. english will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.b. it has been 30 years since english became one subject of national college entrance exam.c. chinas once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.d. the system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.29according to the passage, shanghai educators and parents argue that _.a. the new exam and admission system will make no differenceb. english shouldnt be removed from chinas college entrance examc. the reform may accomplish the very opposited. western educational system does not apply to china30what does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?a. students neednt lay a good foundation during the period of high school.b. whether students should study english hard may depend on their major.c. students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.d. english must be close to full mark.31whats the purpose of the passage?a. to advise students not to devote themselves to english.b. to call on education department to remove english from “gaokao”.c. to support the act of ministry of education.d. to encourage students to do as they have planned.dit was a saturday morning，a day i believed would end in victoryfor weeks，i had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds，sponsored(赞助)by our local riding clubmy horse，tonka, and i could run faster than any kid in the county, and i hoped to bring home a blue ribbonmy mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the
