While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its
effect when it can"t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following
suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
◆Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.
Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
◆Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can"t sleep well
enough, or if you"re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress
repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
◆Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don"t forget, play can be just as important to your overall
well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping
or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
◆Make a list of things to do
Stress can come from disorganization and a feeling that"there"s so much to do, and not enough time".
Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is
completed. Set out to do the most important task first. |

Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let"s imagine it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was
for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have
been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on
the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of
young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the
food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of
our planet"s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by
pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to
run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of
animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in
our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No
one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060. |

| 2. What will people eat then according to the passage? |
A. Biscuits in pill form.

A. there are fewer population
B. there are more pests
C. there is less water
D. the crops are getting better |
| 4. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060? |
A. Because they don"t eat meat.
B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.

Life may not always seem fair, but we can learn to deal with it and make new choices along the way.
I remember so clearly sitting next to my dad as we drove through the town. I was complaining about
something unfair that had happened to me. Dad looked directly at me and said,"No one ever said life was fair."
I was shocked at his answer. Later on as my marriage had problems even though I tried to save it. I could still
hear"It"s not fair" in my heart. Now as I raise two kids alone, try to create new relationships and build a
business, I am forced to face the inevitable (不可避免的) truth every day. Gradually I"ve found that I have
accepted my dad"s wisdom.
We all will face loss or unexpected changes. But unfairness should not be the only thing in our life. We
choose for ourselves what seems fair by comparing our lives with others", and this can lead us to feel that our
own lives are unfair. People need to ignore what others have and set their own plans. Certainly, there"re so many unhappy events in the world and in our lives, and when we deal with them, we try to control as many things as we can. Then, the sense of" it"s not fair" often comes when we can"t control the things in our lives. So please
put your efforts into the process rather than the result. You should learn that life is unfair, but you can be fair
and learn how to enjoy life. |

These are instructions for making invisible ink using baking soda.
Difficulty: Easy
Time required: A few minutes
What you need:
Baking soda
Paper
Water
Light bulb
Paintbrush
Measuring cup
Purple grape juice
Here"s how:
There are at least two methods of using baking soda as invisible ink. Mix equal amounts of water and
baking soda.
Use a paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution (溶液) as "ink".
Allow the ink to dry.
One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking
soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown.
The second way to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will
appear in a different color. Tips:
If you are using the heating method, avoid igniting (点燃) the paper.
Baking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base (酸碱) reaction, producing a color
change in the paper.
Grape juice concentrate (浓缩物) results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice. |

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we
cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering."Beginning Anew" is a(n) 1 of reconciliation.

D. if | | 阅读理解。 | Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch.
They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat.
However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body
temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits
in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a
similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in
warmer climates (气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now
saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind
and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often
suffer less from problem such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps,
employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most
of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep
too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can slao happen if you sleep
for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful. | | 1. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap? | A. About 12:30 pm

| 2. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap? | A. You"d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.
C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help. | | 3. Naps are good for everyone in any climate because _________ . | A. a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.
B. a daily nap benefits your health.
C. people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who don"t.
