19、nished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice 35 As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on

20、the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. 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 motiv

21、ation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress 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

22、for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at 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 an

23、d death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be 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

24、to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 36 People are finding that they have less and less time to relax themselves because_. （ A） they regard work as their greatest enjoyment （ B） they believe that work is superior to relaxation （ C） they are traveling fast all the time （

25、D） they are becoming busier with their work than ever before 37 According to the author, the most important characteristic for a good manager is his_. （ A） unyielding will to deal with stress （ B） knowing the art of relaxation （ C） high sense of responsibility （ D） having control over performance 38

27、 sentence of the passage, “do so“ refers to_. （ A） expose ourselves to stress （ B） find ways to deal with stress （ C） remove stress from our life （ D） establish links between diseases and stress 40 According to the author, the right attitude towards stress is_. （ A） to avoid it （ B） to regard it as

28、a vital motivation （ C） to try to cope with it （ D） to find some relaxation Task 2 Directions： This task is the same as Task 1 The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45 40 “Avoid the rush-hour“ must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Wherever you look, its pe

29、ople, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move: 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

30、 modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on 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 distinct

31、ion between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly 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 o

32、f living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive 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. If you think about it, theyre not really fit to live in at all. Can

33、 anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs? 41 It can be learned from the first paragraph that_. （ A） city inhabitants can not take buses in rush hours （ B） city inhabitants can not bear the traffic conditions of cities （ C） city inhabitants pay more at

34、tention to traffic conditions （ D） city inhabitants are willing to bear the bad traffic conditions 42 In the passage, the author mentions all these things EXCEPT_. （ A） bad traffic conditions （ B） lack of security （ C） pollution caused by air-conditioners （ D） the high cost of living 43 We can infer

Studies have found that busy business people do not like to read beyond the first page, and will actually delay reading longer letters. Keep Them Formal and Factual Generally speaki

39、ng, the tone and content of business letters should be formal and factual. Feelings and emotion do not have a place in business letters. Carefully Plan Your Letter Before writing the letter, take a few minutes to list all of the specific points you need to cover. Remember, the purpose of the letter

40、is to tie up all of the details on the subject at hand, so that more letters wont have to be written back and forth.
