They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can
11、be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member“ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have t
12、o deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the researc
13、h got boiled down to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran headlines like “ Stress Causes illness!“ If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, manylike
14、the death of a loved oneare impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as troubles. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wants to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child,
15、take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes were all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and
16、 mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.31 The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us_.（A）the way you handle major events may cause stress（B） what should be done to avoid stress（C） wha
17、t kind of event would cause stress（D）how to cope with sudden changes in life32 The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to_.（A）widespread concern over its harmful effects（B） great panic over the mental disorder it could cause（C） an intensive research into stress-related illnesses（D）popular avoid
18、ance of stressful jobs33 The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_.（A）how much pressure you are under（B） how positive events can change you life（C） how stressful a major event can be（D）how you can deal with life-changing events34 Why is “such simplistic advice“ (Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow?
19、（A）No one can stay on the same job for long.（B） No prescription is effective in relieving stress.（C） People have to get married someday.（D）You could be missing opportunities as well.35 According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become_.（A）nervous when faced with difficult
20、ies（B） physically and mentally strained（C） more capable of coping with adversity（D）indifferent toward what happens to them35 For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby
21、-boom(生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significandy over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of cour
22、se. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “ In addition to the doctors, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Cal
23、ifornias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law“ , which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be t

She began college as a biology major but found she w
25、as “really bored with bacteria“. So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “ I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.“36 “.

30、ields of study in universities40 Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another sev
31、ere problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. Howe
32、ver,a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. Wifh the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we cant ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For exa
33、mple, we are consuming gasoline(汽油), which is an un-renewable (无法更新的)resource,and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life, so we can consider walking,taking
34、buses,carpooling(合用汽车) ,instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that cant be so effective if its taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will
35、 be improved to a great extent.41 According to the writer,the main problem to our environment today is_.（A）the increase of population（B） the limited energy resources（C） the more serious air pollution（D）the development of technology42 From the passage, we can know that_ .（A）effective measures can be
