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 essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life 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 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 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, 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 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. （1）people are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_. A . they do not know how to enjoy themselvesB . they do not believe that relaxation is important for healthC . they are travelling fast all the timeD . they are becoming busier with their work（2）According 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 performance（3）Which of the following statements is true? A . We can find some ways to avoid stress.B . Stress is always harmful to people.C . It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D . Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.（4）In Paragraph 3, such a reaction refers back to_. A . making a choice between flight or fightB . reaction to stress both chemically and physicallyC . responding to crises quicklyD . losing heart at the signs difficulties（5）In the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _. A . expose ourselves to stressB . find ways to deal with stressC . remove stress from our livesD . established links between diseases and stress19. （8分）阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Do you want to spend a holiday in space? Dennis Tito, a businessman, has become the worlds first “space tourist”. He went on a 10-day visit to the International Space Station. He paid 14 million pounds for his journey. A year later, Martin, a musician from an American band, wanted to do the same. He was only 22 years old and probably very rich too. He had to go for a lot of training to see whether he was fit enough to travel. He is still waiting for his holiday of a lifetime.Many people believe that this is only the start of something new. We made interviews among teenagers from around the world and the following is what they said about space travel.“Its a great idea. I hope space travel will be common in about 50 years time. Id really love to do it and I think Mr. Tito was very lucky.” (Kate from Australia)“I would like to see our beautiful Earth from space. There are lots of secrets to explore in space and I would go into space if I could.” (Ben from China)“I think space travel is really bad for the environment. Maybe in the future they will make a cleaner way of travelling but until they do, I dont want to go. We should look after our own planet first.”(Richard from Canada)“It must be very boring and dangerous to sit in that small space shuttle(舱). Id rather take a plane and go to another place on earth.” (Lisa from the UK)So, as you can see, many of our teenagers had different opinions. Whether you like it or not, space travel is going to become an important thing in the future. We are looking forward to hearing your opinions.（1）What can we know about Dennis and Martin?A .
