You should make the correct choice. 36 It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joints (关节 ). Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high inj
20、ury rates among adult exercisers, there have been few good studies of exercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the n
21、umber of individuals injured and the total number of individuals exercising in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate (统计 ) tree injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for at least one week. The best availab
22、le studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become “injured“ (based on the above definition) over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perh
23、aps in the range of I percent per year. Little is known about the causes of exercise injuries. One factor that has been linked to injury is the amount of exercise; for example, individuals who run more miles are likelier to be injured than those who run fewer miles. Factors such as age, sex, body ty
24、pe, and experience have not been shown to be associated with risk of injury. It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available. 36 What
25、 is the writers attitude towards high injury rates among abult exercisers reported by the mass media? （ A） Positive. （ B） Indifferent. （ C） Negative. （ D） Reserved. 37 The true injury rates are obtained from _. （ A） the average number of injuries for each individual （ B） the amount of exercises for
26、each individual （ C） the numbers of the injured and all individuals in training （ D） the numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week 38 Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing exercise injuries? （ A） The amount of exercise. （ B） The age, sex and b
27、ody type. （ C） Structural abnormalities. （ D） The sudden increases in training intensity. 39 The factors that are in relation to exercises injuries _. （ A） have been obtained from many good studies （ B） have been confirmed by many data （ C） cannot confirm the risk of equipment types （ D） Can be prov
28、ed easily by the data through calculation 40 The passage is mainly about _. （ A） the high injury rates for those doing exercises （ B） the ways to avoid exercise injuries （ C） the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries （ D） the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries Task 2 Dir
29、ections: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Self-esteem is a private, individual matter. It goes up and down from day to day, or even from hour to hour. Thus, strengthening self-esteem is no easy task. But managers can help improv
30、e employees self-esteem in the following ways. Firstly, they must create a work environment that invites people to feel good about themselves and the work they do. They must not damage or lower the self-esteem of others. Managers should avoid something said or done to someone that wears away their f
31、eelings of self worth and satisfaction in performance. For example, it is unacceptable to greet a lazy employee with comments like “Late again! You win the prize for being the least reliable person here.“ Secondly, they must develop ways of communicating real respect and concern to the employees by
32、actively helping them improve their self-image and to feel better about themselves and their performance. For example, comments like, “I knew you could do an exceptional job on that new assignment-and you proved me right!“ If sincere, it will make an employees day. Lastly, give specific rather than
33、general praise. Managers cant just go around saying to employees, “I really appreciate your work“ or “Thanks“-your employees will think youre running for political office! Instead, be specific about what was done and the positive consequences of the action. For example, “That report you did for me o
34、n Thursday was just what I needed for my marketing meeting.“ And be sure to give the feedback to the person as soon after the event as possible. 41 We can learn from the first paragraph that self-esteem is _. （ A） kept as it is for a long time （ B） not fixed （ C） easy to improve （ D） the most import
35、ant 42 According to the passage, creating the work environment should consider _. （ A） the role of high efficiency at work （ B） employees self-value for their work （ C） employers satisfaction about their work （ D） the importance of the prize for the company 43 The comments given to employees should
36、_ in order to strengthen their self-respect. （ A） be frequent （ B） show respect and concern （ C） be much in amount （ D） be negative sometimes 44 Managers should give praise to employees _. （ A） in a general way （ B） for a special purpose （ C） in detail and in time （ D） on a special occasion 45 Which
37、 is the best title for this passage? （ A） Importance of Self-esteem. （ B） The Role of Managers. （ C） The Praises for Employees. （ D） Improvement of Self-esteem.
