But relaxation is 33 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a 34 part of everyday life and there is no way to 35 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 36 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 37 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 38 it can lead to poor performance and 39 health.The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual.

When exposed to stress, in 43 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 44 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 45 between life and death. The crises (危机) we meet today are 46 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 47 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 48 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 49 links with stress. 50 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.So what do you think of stress?

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If its hard for you to communicate with your parents, dont worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). Dont argue with your parents. Dont get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably wont consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you cant express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you dont think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michaels mother didnt agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!51. According to the passage who have a communication problem? A. parents and other people B. only school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages52.

The best title for the passage is_.A. How to bridge the generation gap B. How to deal with family problemsC. How to be good parentsD. How to be a good childBSometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that were always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesnt like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? Thats one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. Its also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.Here are some other ways to help save resources for the society: Use the other side of the paper.Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras. Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups. Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping. Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. Its a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away. 54. The underlined word ours in the passage refers to (指代) _. A. our society B. our old things C. our life D. our throwaway things 55. According to the writer, if we give a second - hand toy car to a neighbor kid, we can_.

Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng. Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.62. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people can not change their skin color without any pain B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that peoples skin color is determined by the gene63. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of genes64. The writers attitude towards the discovery is _. A. neutral B. negative C. positive D. indifferent65. The reason why Europeans are light-skinned is probably that _. A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosome production C. they ha
