    Stress and Heart Disease

    if you feel stress in your life is spinning out of control,then you may be hurting your heart. If you don't want to break your own heart,you need to learn to take charge of your life where you can and recognize there are many things beyond your control.
    So says Dr. Robert S.Eliot. He's a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska.Eliot says there are people in this world whom he calls"hot reactors".For these people,being tense may cause tremendous and rapid increases in their blood pressure.
    Eliot says researchers have found that stressed people have higher cholesterol levels,among other things."We've done years of work in showing that excess alarm or stress chemicals can literally burst heart muscle fibers.When that happens it happens very quickly,within five minutes.It creates many short circuits,and that causes crazy heart rhythms.The heart beats like a bag of worms instead of a pump.And when that happens,we can't live."
    Eliot,64,suffered a heart attack at age 44.He attributes some of the cause to stress.For years he was a"hot reactor".On the exterior,he was cool,calm and collected,but on the interior,stress was killing him.He's now doing very well.
    The main predictors of destructive levels of stress are the FUD factors一fear,uncertainty and doubt一together with perceived lack of control,he says.
    For many people,the root of their stress is anger,and the trick is to find out where the anger is coming from."Does the anger come from a feeling that everything must be perfect?"Eliot asks.
    One step to calming down is recognizing you have this tendency.Learn to be less hostile by changing some of your attitudes and negative thinking.
    Eliot recommends taking charge of your life."If there is one word that should be substituted for stress,it's control.Instead of the FUD factors,what you want is the NICE factors一new,interest-ing,challenging experiences."He suggests that people write down the six things in their lives that they feel are the most important things they'd like to achieve.Ben Franklin did it at age 32."He wrote down things like being a better father,being a better husband,being financially independent, being stimulated intellectually and remaining even-tempered一he wasn't good at that."
    From Eliot's viewpoint,the other key to controlling stress is to"realize that there are other troublesome parts of your life over which you can have little or no control一like the economy and politicians.

    What should we do not to break our heart?
    A:We need to control our life and recognize that there are many things beyond our control.
    B:We need to relax ourselves.
    C:We need to have body examinations often.
    D:We need to be with our families.

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第一段第二句话:假如你不想损害自己的心脏,你就需要努力学会右力所能及的范围内控制自己的生活并且承认有许多东西你是无法控制的。因此仅有选项A是正确的。
    根据文章第二段最后一句和第三段的叙述,我们知道仅有选项A“心脏纤维受到伤害”是正确的。
    文章第四段第四句话:表面上,他沉着、冷静、泰然自若,但他内心深处鱿压力使他筋疲力尽。因此“热核反应堆式的人”是指外表沉着、内心压力大的人。选择D项。
    文章第六段第一句话明确告诉我们,对许多人来说,压力的根源是愤怒。因此只有选项D是正确的。
    文章倒数第二段:本?富兰克林在32岁时就是这样做的。“他写下了诸如要做一个更好的爸爸、更好的丈夫、经济上独立、智力上活跃,而且还要保持性情平和―这一点他也做得不好。”所以当时的富兰克林经济上没有独立,而且性情不平和,所以只有选项A的表述是正确的。

    Friendship

    Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
    friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
    get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
    example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
    Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
    cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
    of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
    Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
    we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
    attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
    not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
    difference in age and background.
    On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
    and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
    each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
    it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
    making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
    stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
    are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
    Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
    to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
    about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
    sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
    more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
    down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
    irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
    someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
    In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
    the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
    from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
    overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.

    Two people can be considered friends so long as they care for each other and like being together.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:

  • 第15题:

    B

    For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now,teleshopping is starting in Europe.ln a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys and many others things.

    Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example,the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $ 100 million.In France,there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

    In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusi-ness,including teleshopping companies. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

    Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason.But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "just on the air. "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

    The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person.

    ( )26.In which country people can go teleshopping?

    A. America and all the European countries.

    B. Australia and some European countries.

    C. The USA and many European countries.

    D. America and many developed countries.


    正确答案:C

    Nuclear Power and Its Danger
    Nuclear power's danger to health,safety,and even life itself can be summed up in one word:radiation.
    Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it,partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.
    lt can't be seen or heard,or touched,or tasted,even though it may be all around us.There are other things like that.For example,radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,sense them,without a radio receiver.Similarly,we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector.But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
    At very high levels,radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is completely safe.If the radiation does not hit anything important,the damage may not be significant.This is the case when only a few cells are hit,and if they are killed outnght.Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones.But if the few cells are only damaged,and if they reproduce themselves,you may be in trouble.They reproduce themselves in a deformed way.They can grow into cancer.Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
    This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated and feel fine,then die of cancer five,ten,or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
    Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

    The underlined word"significant"in Paragraph 3 most probably means______.
    A:fatal
    B:meaningful
    C:remarkable
    D:harmful

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段“Nuclear power ' s danger to health , safety , and even life itself can be summed up in one word : radiation.”可知,核能对人类健康、安全甚至生命造成的威胁可归纳为一个词:核辐射。故选C。
    由文章第三段第二句话可知,即使是强度最低的核辐射也会造成严重伤害。接下来作者对此从两方面进行说明,其中第二方面,即第七、八、九句话说,如果细胞仅仅是被破坏了,它们可能会再生,发展为畸形,并最终生成癌细胞,对人体造成危害。故选B。
    由文章第三段第四句话“If the radiation does not hit anything important , the damage may not be significant.”可知,如果核辐射没有破坏重要的细胞,这种伤害可能不是致命的。significant意为“致命的”,与fatal(致命的)意思相近。故选A。
    由文章第三段第一句话可知,选项A(杀死主要器官里的大量细胞,导致人或动物立刻死亡)是正确的。由文章第三段最后两句话可知,选项B(损伤细胞,致使细胞多年以后发生癌变)是正确的。由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,选项C(影响我们后代的健康)是正确的。故选D。
    题干的意思是能从文章中推断出的最恰当的陈述是:A.预防核辐射的重要性再强调也不过分;B.辐射的秘密还没有揭开;C.癌症主要是由辐射引起的;D.辐射可能伤害那些意识不到辐射危害的人。文章通篇都在讲核辐射的危害以及可能导致的严重后果,由此可推断出A项正确。故选A。
