    Questions 7 1~75 refer to the following information.
    Family caregivers of seniors should be cognizant of stress as it relates to their loved ones. Knowing the signs and detecting them early can help seniors learn to recognize stress factors and to take steps to alleviate the effects stress can cause. Activities such as yoga, walking and other physical exercises designed for seniors are great tension relievers. Many seniors enjoy the benefits of tai chi classes geared to their physical abilities. The Mayo Clinic supports this gentle form of martial arts as a way to relieve stress and help other health-related conditions.
    Some seniors are unable to participate in physical activities, but there are other ways to reduce stress. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and getting a good night's sleep can keep stress at bay. Joining a non-physical group activities, such as a bridge club or volunteering, offers socialization and a chance to clear the mind of daily responsibilities. There are also local agencies that can help with tasks that might cause undue stress for seniors. Respite care organizations can help with housework or grocery shopping. Religious organizations often have groups who can assist seniors with yard work or other strenuous tasks around the home.
    The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone. With help, seniors can combat stress and its negative effects. Spend time helping seniors determine what burdens they face. Help them plan ways suited to their lifestyles that are not only fun but that can minimize the pressures stress can cause. By doing so, the quality of life seniors experience can increase, further paving the way for them to lead independent lives within the comfort of their own homes.

    What does the author say about stress?

    A. Stress can be avoided.
    B. Stress only has negative effects.
    C. Stress is the result of daily burden.
    D. Stress is a component of life.

    答案:D
    解析:
    态度题。作者对压力的看法在文中最后一段第一句有提到,“The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone.”可知作者认为压力是生活的一部分,但也表明压力并不是只有消极作用,B 项错误,A、C 项过于绝对,所以D 选项为正确答案。

    问答题
    In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than four words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  As a result of all these factors, when the recession eases and people find more confidence, there will be an explosion of employees seeking new opportunities to escape their current jobs. This will be led by younger, less-experienced employees and the hard - headed young graduates. ‘Headhunters’ confirm that older staff are still cautious, having seen so many good companies ‘go to the wall’, and are reluctant to jeopardize their redundancy entitlements. Past experience, however, suggests that, once triggered, the expansion in recruitment will be very rapid.  The problem which faces many organizations is one of strategic planning; of not knowing who will leave and who will stay. Often it is the best personnel who move on whilst the worst cling to the little security they have. This is clearly a problem for companies, who need a stable core on which to build strategies for future growth.  Whilst this expansion in the recruitment market is likely to happen soon in Britain, most employers are simply not prepared. With the loss of middle management, in a static marketplace, personnel management and recruitment are often conducted by junior personnel. They have only known recession and lack the experience to plan ahead and to implement strategies for growth. This is true of many other functions, leaving companies without the skills, ability or vision to structure themselves for long-term growth. Without this ability to recruit competitively for strategic planning, and given the speed at which these changes are likely to occur, a real crisis seems imminent.  SUMMARY:  Taking all of these various factors into consideration, when the economy picks up and people  1 there will be a very rapid expansion in recruitment. Younger employees and graduates will lead the search for new jobs, older staff being more 2 Not knowing who will leave creates a problem for companies; they need a 3 of personnel to plan and build future strategies. This is a serious matter, as 4 are often conducted by inexperienced staff, owing to the loss of many middle management positions. This inability to recruit strategically will leave many companies without the skills and vision to plan ahead and 5 to achieve long-term growth.

    正确答案:
    1.find more confidence 第一句话提到当经济萧条缓解了,人们有更多的自信了时,就会出现员工寻找新工作的大潮。摘要中的economy picks up(经济复苏)与原文的recession eases相对应,因此答案是find more confidence。
    2.cautious 第一段中间部分提到与那些新员工和新毕业生相比,老员工因为有很多顾虑,所以会更加谨慎地(cautious)选择是否要找新工作。
    3.(stable) core 第二段最后一句提到面对不知道哪个员工会去会留的问题,公司需要一个stable core来制定未来发展策略。
    4.personnel management and recruitment 第三段第二、三句提到随着中层管理者的流失,人事管理和招聘通常由初级员工来操作,而他们缺少经验。题干中的inexperienced与原文中修饰junior personnel的lack the experience相对应,所以答案为personnel management and recruitment。
    5.implement strategies 根据最后一段第三句话可知,一些公司由于使用缺乏经验的junior personnel,从而不能做到提前计划,实施能够使公司未来长期发展的战略。
