a weekend at mothers camp（营地）. there, husbands and children are not allowed. why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? some women say they need time to be alone.at mothers camp a woman has room to herself. she can sleep, read or watch tv, and no one will bother her. no children will ask,“mom, whats for dinner?” no husband will say, “oh, dear, i cant find any clean socks.”in fact almost 50% of women in the united states work outside the home. many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. these working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.in the united states, working wives do about 75% of the housework. many of their husbands say they want to help. but then they burn the rice or they cant find the pans. they ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.some women go to mothers camp just to get a break from housework. for two days they dont cook, they dont clean, they dont look after their children and husbands. what do they do? they enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. they relax away from home. they have a really wonderful vacation at mothers camp.1from this passage we can see in the united states.a. women want to work outside the homeb. working wives do most of the houseworkc. husbands do as much housework as their wivesd. women do not like to stay at home with their families2at mothers camp, women cant .a. watch tv b. read newspapersc. swim in the lake d. bring their husbands and children3why would some mothers like to be alone? because .a. they dont like their husbands and children b. they have to work full-timec. they are too busy to relax themselves d. they want a new life4_ is one of the biggest troubles for working wives in the united states.a. housework b. working outside the homec. when to take a vacation d. looking after their children5whats the best title（标题）for this passage?a. busy working mothers b. the us familyc. mothers relax away from home d. mothers in the usbas the pace（步速） of life continues to increase , we are fast losing the art of relaxation. once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. but relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. in fact , it is not the bad thing 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 control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.the amount of stress a person can withstand(忍受) depends very much on the individual. some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. when exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. in fact we make choice between fight or flight and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. the crises（危机）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. it is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established（确定的）links with stress. since 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 it.1according to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his _.a. not fearing stressb. knowing the art of relaxationc. high sense of responsibilityd. having control over performance2which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?a. we can find some ways to avoid stressb. stress is always harmful to peoples health.c. it is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.d. different people can withstand different amounts of stress3 in the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to .a. “expose ourselves to stress”b. “find ways to deal with stress”c. “remove stress from our lives”d. “establish links between diseases and stress”4 according to the author, the right attitude toward stress is .a. to avoid itb. to try to deal with itc. to regard it as a vital motivationd. to find some relaxationcdeputy agriculture secretary kathleen merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across americas farmland. it has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. the countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. national agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. aside from trying to stop the graying of americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at no. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.“there couldnt be anything thats more incorrect,” merrigan said. “we know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in american agriculture.”in addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.“i truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows,” said matt rush, director of the texas farm bureau. “production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”the department of agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. the national young farmers coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.ryan best, president of future farmers of america, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. the 21-year-old best hopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics. “never before have we had the innovations (创新) in technology which haveled to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been,” he said. “theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”1. what is the new challenge to american agriculture?a. fewer and older farmers. b. higher fuel prices.c. more natural disasters. d. lower agricultural output.2. why is merrigan visiting universities across the country?a. to draw federal agriculture officials attention.b. to select qualified agriculture graduates.c. to clarify a recent blog posting.d. to talk more students into farming careers.3. according to matt rush, american agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because_a. the government will cover production costsb. global food supplies will be even lowerc. investment in agriculture will be profitabled. america will increase its food export4. what do the underlined words “to turn around the statistics” in the last paragraph mean?a. to re-analyze the result of the national census.b. to increase agricultural production.c. to bring down the average age of farmers.d. to invest more in agriculture.dhappiness is for everyone. you dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. why? because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.in fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. when you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. all these are your happiness. if you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.happiness doesnt mean money. it is a feeling of your heart. when you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that cant be bought with money. when you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. as the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. when it closes, it also opens. if you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1.when you do something wrong, people around you will_.a. quarrel with you b. help you correct itc. do something wrong like you d. laugh at you2.what will your friends say when you make great progress?a. oh, so do i. b. congratulations!c. good luck! d. just so-so!3.which of the following is not true
