While it is impossible to live completely free of stress (压力), 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 (释放) the pressure (压力) 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 cannot 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 go to see a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time (确定时间) for both work and entertainment. Don"t forget, play can be just as important
to your well-being (幸福) as work. You need a break from your daily routine (日常事务) 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 result 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 _____, check off each task as it is
completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first. |

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can"t be healthy if
you"re dead."
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths (谬论) about safety belts ever since their first appearance m cars some
forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It"s best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is also going to be serious enough
to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you"ll have traveled through a wind-shield (挡风玻璃)
or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in
cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters. |

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly
everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things
to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time.
The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the
tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby.
Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home,
unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars hit each other and the
drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic
and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver"s wife was sitting
beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window
and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes (猛地刹
车). The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the
road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the
meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying
themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake. |

A stamp is just a piece of paper with a picture and some words printed on one side and some glue
on the other side. What makes one of these bits of paper worth any money at all? When you buy a
stamp you also buy service from the post office. You get the letter sent by post. After the stamp has
done its job, the post office says it is worthless. You must buy a new one for each letter you send.
But people often pay money for stamps that have already been used. Stamp collectors have fun just
trying to collect as many different kinds as possible. Certain kinds are hard to find. To get one of those
uncommon stamps, some collectors are willing to pay a great deal of money. They think it is worth
something and that gives it value. If you collect stamps because they are especially beautiful or show
all kinds of animals, then those are the ones that have value to you. |

Sometimes,
the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what
you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are
not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends-you are in a slightly (稍微的) unnatural
situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak
so that they can hear you-loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force
yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your
school or a govemment official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease
but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that
you can be heard. | | 1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ____. | A. as slowly as possible

attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages (婚姻) and have more respectable jobs.
Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants.
But in the executive (主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to
a woman.
Handsome (帅的) male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and
ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success
was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than
the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was
connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman considered to be more feminine
has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears
to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women
differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political
candidates(候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men
and one of women, in order of attractiveness.
The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank
them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males completely
defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest
votes. | | 1. The word "liability" most probably means ____. | A. disadvantage
B. advantage
C. misfortune
D. trouble | | 2. Bowman"s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ____. | A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. affects men and women alike | | 3. It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often ____. | A. practical
B. supportive
C. old-fashioned
D. one-sided | | 4. The author writes this passage to ____. | A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. state the importance of appearance | 最新试题
