past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. they often talked of opening their own store one day.when mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and mary needed to slow down from her demanding (很费力的) job.they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “we knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldnt match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says mary. one figure caught her attention: shed read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. she and richard were themselves mystery readers.on halloween 1992, they opened the mystery lovers bookshop and caf near their home. with three children in college, the couple could not spend all the familys money to start a shop. to cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives (亲戚) and from a bank.the store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. but mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. the shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. she also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories. today mystery lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. after paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, richard and mary together earn about $34,000. “the job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says richard. “this has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”51. when mary was in hospital, the couple realized that .a.they had to put their plan into practice b.health was more important than wealthc.heart trouble was a serious illness d.they both needed to stop working52. after mary got well from her illness , they began .a.to study industrial management b.to buy and read more mystery booksc.to do market research on book business d.to work harder to save money for the bookstore53. how did their bookstore do in the first year?a.they had to borrow money to keep it going.b.they made just enough to cover all the costs.c.they succeeded in earning a lot of money.d.they failed though they worked hard.54. according to richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is .a. to pay for their childrens educationb. to get to know more writersc. to set up more bookstoresd. to do what they like to do bwhy do men die earlier than women? the latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.the largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“we have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpool john moores university in the uk.“within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said goldspink. “this is part of the ageing process.”what surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. a healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“this gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said goldspink. they studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “the team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said goldspink.the good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.55. the underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.a. health b. long life c. ageing d. effect56. the text mainly talks about _.a. mens heart cells b. womens ageing processc. the gender difference d. hearts and long life57. according to the text, the uk scientists have known that _.a. women have more cells than men when they are bornb. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatc. the female heart loses few of the cells with aged. women never lose their pumping power with age58. we can know from the passage that _.a. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outb. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsc. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossd. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20cas the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxationonce you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow downbut relaxation is important for a healthy mind and bodystress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid itin fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to bea certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give purpose to lifeit is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill healththe amount of stress a person can bear depends very much on the individualsome people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously important for managerial responsibilitiesothers lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficultieswhen exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physicallyin fact we make choice between fight or flight and in more primitive(远古的) days the choice made the difference between life or deaththe problems we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it needs the same responseit is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangeredsuch serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stresssince we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so even if we could）, we need to find ways to deal with it59people are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_athey do not know how to enjoy themselvesbthey do not believe that relaxation is important for healthcthey are travelling fast all the timedthey are becoming busier with their work60according to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his _anot fearing stress bknowing the art of relaxationchigh sense of responsibility dhaving control over performance61which of the following statements is true?awe can find some ways to avoid stressbstress is always harmful to peoplecit is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with workddifferent people can bear different amounts of stress62in the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _aexpose ourselves to stress bfind ways to deal with stresscremove stress from our lives destablished links between diseases and stressdthe home of the future
