They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional a
17、nd social situations.Eventually, they realize that university classes cant be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.(81)Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By
18、doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself
19、 whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.41 The young people who just graduated from school may not bahave well in the working worl

24、 is recovered,it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20 kg); in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage.

31、nce of your luggage（D）the transportation of your luggage50 Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的)conditions
32、. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without suc
33、h ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relati
34、ves and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to t
35、hem. Third , we typically find social companionship supportive.(83)Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support-money aid, material resourc
36、es, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.51 The author mainly talks about_.（A）how to improve our interpersonal relationships（B） peoples health conditions（C） how to deal with daily worries and problems（D）the importance of interpersonal relationships5
37、2 Para. 2 is mainly about_.（A）ways to reduce stress（B） informational support（C） instrumental support（D）social companionship53 The world “cushion“in Para. 2 means_.（A）increase the effect of（B） reduce the effect of（C） a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofa（D）a rug placed on the floor54 Lending mone

39、s us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.（C） With social support,people will become perfect without any faults.（D）Its possible that people who have fewer social ties are in poor health.55 (84)One of the best-known proverbs must be “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealt
40、hy and wise. “The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is bis health. It is estimated that in the
41、United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.
42、Much more interest has been shown in preventive(预防的 )medicine in recent years.(85)This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his mes
43、sage of the benefits of exercise so effectirely that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over one million people are jogging. The last time I was i
44、n Honolulu,I was amazed to see hundreds of people,young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me,“You look like a runner; how fa
45、r do you run each day?“ A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on
46、 many peoples minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, “Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me , I lie down till it passes. “56 The underlined word“retires“ in Para. 1 probably refers
47、 to_.（A）people who go to bed（B） people who live in quiet places（C） people who have a lot of free time（D）people who give up their work57 The first paragraph indicates that medical workers_.（A）can make a lot of money（B） like miming sports more than ordinary people（C） are more concerned with their own
