UK workers are among the least stressed in Europe, a survey has suggested. Just 20% of British workers found their workplace too stressful compared with an average of 27% across Europe. Switzerland and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment(人力) agency Kelly Services found. The survey of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in steady jobs were under the greatest pressure. A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter, said Steve Girdler, marketing director of Kelly Services UK. But high levels of long stress are not good because they impact on productivity and lead to physical and emotional illness, he warned. The group also found stress increased significantly with age - rising from 19% in the 15-24 age to 23% for those aged 45 and above. The report suggested these workers could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility. Those working the longest hours found their job the most stressful: 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours. Kelly Services also uncovered a close link between stress and job satisfaction. For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were happy in their jobs, while for those with just the right amount of stress happiness levels jumped to 65%. The findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to learn new skills./english/doc/2006-03/01/content_525021.htm1.The best title can be _ .A. the survey by global recruitment agencyB. work stress levels lower in UKC. the cause of work stress of workers in UKD. the relationship between the work stress and ages.2.All of the followings are mentioned except _.A.

Beckham, 30, admitted to being puzzled when Brooklyn recently asked for help with a school assignment and had to turn to his former Spice Girls pop star wife Victoria to help out. “Their homework is so hard these days. I sat down with Brooklyn the other day, and I had to turn it over to my wife, Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight. ” “Its done totally differently to what I was taught when I was at school, and you know, I could nothing but Oh my God, I cant do this. ” “Brooklyn said, Please do it with me. and I could say anything else but Ill read your book with you. ” The Real Madrid midfielders son attends the Runnymede College in the Spanish capital, which follows the British national curriculum(标准). The Mail on Sunday gave examples of some national curriculum maths questions set for seven-year-olds. They include: “Betty went to the shop at 11:45. She came back half an hour later. What time did she come back?” and “What is 12 divided by three?” Beckham also admitted he has no “lucky” pre-match routines (fixed and regular way of doing things), with them too being tough to remember. “I find that if I follow a routine . it gets to the stage where you are thinking, Right, is it the left side . the left boot that I put on first, or the right side?

I was sitting at a fruit stand beside Beihai Lake looking at the shinning ripple(波纹), which awoke me to a full sense of life.A mother and her daughter were sitting opposite to me. The latter, a lovely girl of seven or eight with a pretty, small nose, was occupied with an ice cream. Her mother, holding the childs sweater, was whispering to her.A sudden breeze blew and the child sneezed. Her mother rapidly put the sweater on her and began to button it up. In her hurry the buttons were wrongly matched, which was unnoticed by her until several had been done. The mother at once unbuttoned the sweater and did it again. Such an unimportant incident, however, did not escape the childs eye. “Ha-ha, mum, see how your mind has wandered!” said the girl with a loud laughter, which brought a bit angry look to the mothers face.As an onlooker, I imagined a good dressing down for the little girl because of the impolite remark she made. But instead there was only an embarrassing interval of a few seconds. Then I heard the mothers gentle voice: “Yes, it surely has, for my heart has gone out to you!” said the mother, pointing a kind finger at the girls little chest. The child blinked(眨眼) puzzlingly, hiding her red face in the arms of her mother who hugged her gently. A smile of satisfaction spread over the mothers face.I was deeply moved by the scene of motherly love. What was the most praiseworthy thing about the mother was her way of treating the childs behavior.

Using census（人口普查）data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy，（怀孕）and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an effect on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer, said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. When she stops breast-feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, its in the hot weeks of summer when babies are easy to get infections of the digestive system. In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April-June), and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn - the European spring - lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists, Doblhammer said.1.What did the author mean by saying, “in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months.”?A. the life expectancy of adults born in autumn is longer than that of ones in spring in Denmark.B. the life expectancy of adults born in autumn is shorter than that of ones in spring in Denmark.C. the life expectancy of adults born in autumn is as long as thatof ones in spring in Demark.D. the life expectancy of anyone born in autumn is longer than that of one in spring in Demark.2.What is the main idea of this passage?A. People born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. B. People born in autumn live longer than those in spring.C. The month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50.D. Its in the hot weeks of summer when babies are easy to get infections of the digestive system.3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A mother who gives birth in summer spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in spring.B. It is easy for the people who were born in autumn to get ill when they are getting older.C. The research focused on people born in the late 20th century, using death certificates and census data. D. The author found that in the southern hemisphere the situation was just the same. 4.From this passage it seems that the life expectancy has something to do with _. A. nutrition B. seasons C. vitamins D. digestive system 解析： 1.A 此题考查细节理解。在丹麦秋天出生的成年人的寿命比在春天出生的长。由上下文可以推知outlive sb.意为“比某人活得长”。2.B 此题考查主旨归纳。文章首句开门见山地提出了本文的中心议题：秋天出生的人比出生在春天的人活得长，在上了年纪的时候也更不容易得慢性病。3.D 此题考查细节理解。从In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar.可理解得出应选D。4.B 此题考查推理判断。文章多处提到人的寿命在不同的季节有所不同。 /2004/03/31/80/article219678093.shtmlWeakness Or Strength?Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, but he couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.Sensei, the boy finally said, shouldnt I be learning more moves?This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know, the sensei replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament（联赛）.Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei stopped it.No, the sensei insisted, Let him continue.Soon after the match renewed, his opponent made a deadly mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy u
