You should make the correct choice. 31 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 the go from morn
17、ing 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 the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give
18、 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 for managerial
19、 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 or death. The cr
20、ises 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 lives (it would be unwise to do so even
21、 if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 32 People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because . （ A） they regard working as their greatest enjoyment （ B） they believe that work is superior to relaxation （ C） they are traveling fast all the time （ D） they are becoming

24、 the passage, “do so“ refers to . （ A） expose ourselves to stress （ B） find ways to deal with stress （ C） remove stress from our lives （ D） establish links between diseases and stress 36 According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is . （ A） to avoid it （ B） to regard it as a vital moti
25、vation （ 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. 37 There is one part of womens magazines that every man reads. It is the section popularly known as the “agony colu
26、mns“, where women and increasingly men, write for advice on their emotional problems. The person who answers these letters usually has a very reassuring name which suggests a gentle middleaged lady with a lot of wisdom and experience. At one time, it used to be widely believed that the letters were
27、in fact all made up by someone on the editorial staff, and that the “Aunt Mary“ who provided the answers was a fat man with a beard, who drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, and was unfaithful to his wife into the bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the majority of advice columns
28、are genuine, and the advisory staff are highly-qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems. At one time, only the answers were published, not the letters themselves. Much of the fun in reading them lay in trying to work out what on earth the problem was that led to such peculiar ans
29、wers. Nowadays everything is much more explicit, and questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the agony columns have become more professional and more frank, a lot of the fun has gone out of them. This is undoubtedly a good thing, because there is something very bad about our ten
