But the productive performance of agriculture is even more important than this, because in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of industrial goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income ( 人均收入 ) of a nation is the number of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world, more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the productive performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it works. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is reasonable to begin with a consideration of its market structure.41. This passage is most probably part of _. A) a news item B) an advertisement C) a lecture D) an article42. What is most important to agriculture is _ .

I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, I had bought travel insurance. So my illness didnt cost me a cent.Its actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when youre traveling. Make sure youre prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province at the insurance companys expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if youre sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you cant make any changes. Youre about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what youll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you dont have cancellation insurance.51.What happened to the author when he was in Bombay?A.

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 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 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, 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.56 .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 work57.According to the writer , the most important character for a good manager is his _.A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance58.Which of the following statements is true?A.

Different people can withstand different amounts of stress59.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 difficulties60. In the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _.A. expose ourselves to stress B. find ways to deal with stressC. remove stress from our lives D. established links between diseases and stressPassage 5In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the U.S. equal. Some of them decided to drop out of American society and form their own societies . They formed utopian communities , which they called communes, where they could follow their philosophy of do your own thing. A group of artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called Drop City. Following the ideas of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller they built dome-shaped houses from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Keseys Merry Pranksters, the followers for San Francisco poet Steve Gakin, and a group th
