For years studies have shown people in lower-status jobs generally have higher rates of heart disease and other illnesses and die earlier than those in higher-status positions while job authority has shown no relationship with workers health. But University of Toronto researchers, using data from 1,800 US workers, found the health of people in higher positions is affected by work as they are more likely to report conflicts with co-workers and say work disturbs their home life. However, the positive aspects of having a power position at work, such as higher status, more pay and greater independence, seemed to cancel out the negative aspects when it came to peoples physical and psychological health. These latest findings, reported in the journal Social Science & Medicine, suggest that the advantages and disadvantages authority positions basically cancel each other out, giving the general impression that job authority has no health effects. For the study, the researchers surveyed participants about various aspects of their work, life and well-being. Job authority was judged based on whether a person managed other employees and had power over hiring, firing and pay. Physical health complaints included problems like headaches, body aches, heartburn and tiredness. Psychological complaints included sleep problems, difficulty concentrating and feelings of sadness, worry and anxiety.“This isnt to suggest that having authority is badin fact, we show it has benefits . but it is important to identify the negative sides and deal with them.” researcher Scott Schieman said. Schieman said conflicts with co-workers or involvement of work into home life may destroy at physical and mental well-being by creating stress. “These are key stressors that can tax individuals ability to function effectively,” Schieman said. 56. Work will have a negative effect on job authoritys health probably because _.A. they are not fit for their work B. they have power over hiring and pay C. they are faced with severe competition D. they dont get on well with their co-workers 57. Most people dont see that bosses have health effects because _. A. their health problems are not serious enough to see B. they have enough money to keep themselves healthy C. their problems are quite different from those of workers D. the advantages and disadvantages of their status work against each other 58. From the passage we can infer that the study aims to _. A. warn people not to be a boss for ever B. remind the boss to deal with bad effects of their work C. show that having authority is harmful to ones health D. prove that being a boss can benefit a lot 59. The best title for this passage might be _. A. Lower-status can affect healthB. Authority can affect health C. Positive aspects of a power positionD. Disadvantages of being a bossBThe followingpassage is a healthy prescription (处方) of how we can approachlife. It is not about being famous or being wealthy or aboutourgoodlooks. Truly,it is all about love. There are times when we feel as if we are separated from the rest. This feeling creates a mental prison. Therefore,we should try to work hard tointernally (内在地)liberate ourselvesby widening our circle of pity to accept all living things.“Open your heart to others andtry to understand,When someone reaches for you, hold out to them your hand,Follow your heart,nomatter what otherpeople say, Do things that make you able to smile throughout your day, Treat other people, the way you would like them to treat you, Do what you know is right andto your heart and self stay true, Remember what life isall about, it is how you make people feel,What you do, where you go, and making dreams become real,Helping people through, in hard times of pain and strife, What you do for others, is what is important in this life.Look deeper anddont judge people by what ison the outside, It iswhat is inside that counts and what people often hide, Care, help, love, be honest, and be kind,Withpurity and goodness within yourself,it ishappiness you willfind.Do all you can in the time you have, you wont always be around, Recapture the joy of little things, that once were easily found, And if you can do all this and live a life of love,You willbe helped through life, by all those up above.”I will leave you with the inspiring words ofour late genius, Albert Einstein:“There are two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇迹). The other is as though everything is a miracle.”60.

The chip giant, who makes the processors found in most personal computers, states that by 2015 there will be just over 12 million devices using IPTV services that will be capable of connecting to over 500 billion hours of TV & video. This supports the idea to make television a more social, personalized and readily accessible device available anywhere through IPTV services. As more and more people consume TV & video through various mediums, there is now a greater need to distribute and manage this content. As such, companies like TV Genius are accepting this announcement made at Intels Developer Forum (IDF) in the USA by their chief technology officer, Justin Rattner. With such a variety of content likely to become available, technology firms will need to assist in making personalized TV recommendations more readily accessible. Mr. Rattner, speaking to the BBC said, “TV will remain at the centre of our lives and you will be able to watch what you want and where you want. We are talking about more than one TV-capable device for every man and woman on the planet. People are going to feel connected to the screen in ways they havent in the past.”One way in which this will happen will also be assisted by a more united service of material combining including video content, internet content, broadcast content, and personal content. This content will become much more accessible through remote devices like mobile phones using IPTV technology. This means that users will be able to watch their favorite programs away from the traditional media hub, the home. 63. The author uses the passage mainly to _. A. recommend a new type of TV B. introduce a possible shape of future TV C. describe the function of future TV D. support the new type of TV64. We know from the passage that the future TV might have major features like _. a. being capable of connecting to many more hours b. changing the shape very easily c. receiving programs at any place d. displaying the advanced materialse. using services accessing the Internet, video, radio, etc A. a, b, c B. c, d, e C. a, c, e D. b, c, e65. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to _. A. Intel, the chip giant B. TV and video C. readily accessible deviceD. Widely used IPTV services66. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the present TV will disappear in the near future B. the future TV will have a beautiful look C. people are developing the technology of TV very quickly D. people will spend more time watching TV at homeDIt had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida.I had driven to town hoping to see the o
