It seemed to her a very large amount of money. The way it filled up her worn money holder gave her a feeling of importance that she had not enjoyed for years.For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. She did not wish to act quickly and do anything she might regret. Yes, she would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Daughter Mag should have another dress. The idea of her little family looking fresh and new for once in their lives made her restless with excitement.The other day, she arrived at the large department store early in the morning without breakfast. She gathered strength and courage to push through a mass of busy shoppers. She rested her hand upon the counter. She slowly grew aware that her hand had felt something very pleasant to touch. She looked down to see that her hand lay upon a pile of silk stockings. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price. A young girl who stood behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry with the aim of purchasing it. But she went on feeling the soft, costly items. Now she used both hands, holding the stockings up to see the light shine through them. Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl. “I will buy this pair.” In an empty corner, she replaced her cotton stockings for the new silk ones. For the first time she seemed to be taking a rest from the tiring act of thought. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility.英语试题 第3页 （共6页） The newly bought things had worked wonders for her appearance. With the new stockings, boots and gloves on, she had a feeling of satisfaction, a sense of belonging to the well-dressed crowds in the street. It was like a beautiful dream. On the bus back home, a man with sharp eyes sat opposite her. It was hard for him to fully understand what he saw in her expression. In truth, he saw nothingunless he was a magician. Then he would sense her heartbreaking wish that the bus would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever.56.

C“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.” Said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While heres one question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which youre able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldnt get the job done. Stress that you can manage also improve immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody thats the bodys first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.Stress encourages the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.“Continuous stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity .”Its the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”63. The passage is mainly about_A. how to avoid stressfulB. how to cope with stress effectivelyC. the benefits of manageable stressD. the effect of stress hormones on memory64. The word “shun”(Line 1,Para.1) most probably means_.A. cut down on B. stay away fromC. run out of D. put up with65.We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that_ A. people who cant get their job done experience more stress B. doing challenging work may be good for ones health C. stress will weaken the bodys defense against
