pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being _1_ from morning till night, it is hard to _2_ down. but relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body. stress is a _3_ part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. however, it is not the bad thing that is often supposed to be. a _4_ amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give _5_ to life. it is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and _6_ health.the amount of stress a person can _7_ depends very much on the individual. some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities (经营责任). others lose heart at the _8_ of unusual difficulties. when exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and _9_. in fact, we make a choice between “fright and fight”. and in more _10_ days the choices made the difference between life and _11_. the crises we meet today are _12_ to be so extreme, but however _13_ the stress is, it requires the same response. it is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that _14_ becomes endangered. such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with _15_. since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.1. a. angry b. busy c. well d. happy2. a. slow b. calm c. get d. turn3. a. physical b. natural c. hard d.

unseen force to do the same thing _17_ (repeat) ; then a habit is formed. once _18_ habit is formed , it is difficult, and sometimes _19_ (possible) to get rid of .it is therefore very important that

formed bad habits. however, there are many _22_ habits formed in early life that are of great help. many successful men say much of their success has _23_to do with certain habits in early life like early rising and honesty. we should keep away _24_ all the bad habits and try to form such good habits_25_ will be good for ourselves and others. 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）（注意：填涂“阅读”答题卡时，请对准相应的题号，即从第26题开始填涂）awhether were 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. but a growing body of research is raising questions about how a childs lie is different from an adults lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.“parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says dr. lee, a professor at the university of toronto and director of the institute of child study. he has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. the fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. dr. lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the childs back. whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.for young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. when the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. at age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didnt. by 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.researchers have found that its kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. thats because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. the ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.26. whats the purpose of children telling lies? a. to help their friends out.b. to get rid of trouble. c. to get attention from others. d. to create a popular image.27. the underlined word “deceive” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ ”.a. tell liesb. handle troublesc. raise questions d. do research28. from the second paragraph we can know that . a. which factors can reduce lyingb. why some lie more than othersc. it is normal for kids to tell liesd. how lying changes as kids grow29. it can be inferred from the passage that .a. childrens lies are the same as adultsb. the better kids are, the more they lie c. the older kids are, the more they lied. kids always keep the truth in their mind 30. what is not included in the passage?a. the reasons why kids tell lies. b. which kind of kids tells more lies.c. experiments about lying of young kids. d. what to do with lying children.boutside our hotel in ho chi minh city, vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. every day i put my hand in hers as our eyes met. she never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. on the last day of our visit, i found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. as i hesitated on the sidewalk, i felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. she nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. together, we moved slowly into the chaos. then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me.traveling in poorer nations, i have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. the most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. i have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. a few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers wont immediately appear on the scene.for many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. and i believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.31. the woman beggars helped the author go across the busy street because _.athe author gave her

friend.” now, wuhan university has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. it charges students for the amount of time in a shower. before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student id card. the clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. it pauses when a button is pressed for soap. an integrated circuit(ic) card reader at each tap shows the time. no money, no water. the benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. the university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. some might be embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. they have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the id card,” said ren, a freshman in wuhan university. the university is also considering some students suggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. but many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “in my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said dai zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.a similar system has been installed in other universities. shanghai normal university introduced it at its fengxiang campus in september. the bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. one male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.41. according to the passage, which of the following is not true?a. students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.b. the clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.c. if money runs out, there will be no water.d. having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.42. the underline word “flaw” (paragraph3) most probably means_.a. perfectionb. advantagec. pity d. fault43. since the new system has performed, _ of water can be saved.a. a quarterb. one thirdc. one half d. two thirds44. it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. the new operation can solve the water crisis.b. the new operation can raise students environmental awareness.c. a similar operation has been set in other universities.d. the university has saved a lot of

the lovers holiday traces its roots to raucous annual roman festivals held every year on february 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century a.d.47. the first earth day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the united states. now, 40 years later, earth day is every day, as the saying goes. the thing
