22、wn. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not a bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the s

23、tress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at

24、 the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight“ and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be

25、so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our life(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to d

26、eal with it.（分数：10.00）(1).People are finding that they have less and less time to relax themselves because_.（分数：2.00）A.they regard work as their greatest enjoymentB.they believe that work is superior to relaxationC.they are traveling fast all the timeD.they are becoming busier with their work than e

30、Task 2Directions：This task is the same as Task 1The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45_“Avoid the rush-hour“ must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Wherever you look, its people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move

31、 when a bus arrives, its so full that it cant take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on

32、the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay de

33、arly for the “privilege“ of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn(不屑于接受) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive

34、 than it would be in the country. In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high.

Use Non-discriminatory Language Make sure that you avoid language that is specific to gender, race or religion in all business
