More American people take their troubles with them on holiday, according to a new survey. Although 40
percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure (压力) from work, almost all said they
worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.
The most common worry is burglary (入室盗窃), with four out of 10 worrying about their homes being
broken into while they" re abroad. More than a quarter fear they will feel crazy with some other noisy and
rough holiday-makers and 22 percent worry they may be attacked or their possessions will be missing. One in
five think the car may break down, and the same number worry about the chances of bad weather.
The survey also showed that the stay-at-home Americans are no more. Three out of every five want to
have a holiday abroad, a great increase from the figures only three years ago. The hotel holiday is still a winner, with about one third of all Americans preferring to go on a self-catering (自助) holiday. |

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn"t" t understand why I had no tears. But that night
when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part
of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying
seems to work weft. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better
after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us
become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to
understand our emotions better; sometimes we don" t even know we" re very sad until we cry. We learn about
our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying-holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering-can be bad for
physical (身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high good
pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask
you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don"t fight it. It"s a natural-and healthy-emotional response (反应). |
| 1. Why didn"t" t the author cry when her grandmother died? |
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

| 2. It can be inferred from the text that ______. |
A. there are two ways to keep healthy
B. crying does more good to health than laughing
C. crying and laughing play the same roles
D. emotional health has a dose relationship to physical health |
| 3. According to the author, which of the following statements is true? |
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure. |
| 4. What might he the most suitable title for the text? |
A. Power of Tears
B. How to Keep Healthy
C. Why We Cry
D. A New Scientific Discovery |

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there"s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager
problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and
helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I"ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right
from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman.
I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no
attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick
glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don"t know what to do with him these days," she said.
"He"s forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn"t forgotten them. He"s just decided that he"s not
going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from
the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare
at me and say, "I don"t like your dress; it"s ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
The other has left home.
"Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue. |
| 1. This text is most probably written by _____. |
A. a specialist in teenager studies
B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. a doctor for mental health problems |
| 2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to _____. |
A. the change from good to bad that"s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow |
| 3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____. |
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them |
| 4. What is the writer"s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? |
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children. |

Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands
respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can"t be easily
swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their
everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from
others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership
technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that"s never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评), which often hurts
rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees.
"Catch people doing something right!" he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks."The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise," says
management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz."Sky divers don"t go up in an airplane without checking the
parachutes (降落伞) beforehand."
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others
to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail - and not die a thousand deaths. Pick
yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. (热情) "When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental
strengths," says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the
job. That"s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be
followed by everyone. |
| 1. The underlined word "cultivated" ( paragraph 1 ) roughly means ______. |
A. encouraged
B. compared
C. examined
D. developed |
| 2. The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should ______. |
A. give helpful criticism
B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances
D. praise everyone |
| 3. To be a good leader, you should ______. |
A. not be afraid of any risks
B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures
D. know what a thoughtless exercise is |
| 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? |
A. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques
B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders
D. How to Be a Leader |

In 1837, the historian Carlyle made the first recorded use of the word "queue" (排队). He spoke of the
French and their "habit of standing in a queue". Forty years later Paris was the best place to wait in line.
However, queuing became popular in Britain too. The Second World War was the golden age of queuing,
and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy. This was the source of many
Second World War jokes:
Shopkeeper to customer: Excuse me, miss, are you pregnant (怀孕)?
Customer: Well, I wasn"t when I joined the queue.
Today, according to research in America, we (in Britain) can spend up to 5 years of our lives queuing-as
compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost. But things may be changing. Many people no
longer have the patience to stand in a queue. The law of the jungle (丛林) has begun to operate at bus stops,
with people using their arms to push others out of the way.
One way to make life easier is to introduce "queue management". Customers at supermarket cheese
counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their turn. And while they
wait for their number, they can do a bit of shopping. In some booking offices there is also a system telling
customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.
One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner (电子识别器) which can read all
the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds. If these become popular, queuing in
supermarkets may become a thing of the past.
But some people just like queuing. One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale, and then
returned home for breakfast at nine o" clock the next morning without going into the shop. |
| 1. The joke in Paragraph 2 implies that the young woman ______. |
A. has been waiting in the queue for a long time
B. doesn"t need to stand in the queue
C. enjoys standing in the queue
D. has stood in the wrong line |
| 2. According to the passage, which of the following is true? |
A. The British spend more time queuing than looking for lost things.
B. The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.
C. The British are always patient when they wait in line.
D. People queue only when they want to buy something. |
| 3. The British try to solve the problem of queuing by all the following EXCEPT _____. |
A. making a law to prevent queuing
B. telling the customers the waiting time
C. using numbered tickets to put the customers in order
D. checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner |
| 4. We can infer from the passage that ______. |
A. queue management doesn"t work well
B. there is still queuing in England
C. we don"t see much queuing in Paris
D. the French like queuing more than the British |
