I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was   36  . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter   37  with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became   38  and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are   39  your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was   40  and cried bitterly, running away.
    41 , she brought a gift, a golden   42  made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was   43  of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was   44 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She   45  at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew   46  into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
I was completely   47 . I put my arms around her and begged for her   48 . A year later, a serious   49  took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I   50  in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was   51  , I would take out an imaginary kiss and   52  the love of my daughter who had put it there.
In a very real   53  , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container   54  with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are   55  no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.

During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity.This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.
How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy.A recent report by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (冥想) does.Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree.These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there.One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate.Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best on you.
Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis and progressive muscle relaxation response.More than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?
A.The body takes in less oxygen.
B.The heart beats less frequently.
C.Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.
D.The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.
小題2:People seem to agree that ____.
A.sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation does
B.structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person
C.to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various means
D.what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation
小題3:In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting there” means _____.
A.a(chǎn)rriving at one’s destination
B.getting what one wants most
C.finding out a suitable relaxation technique
D.reaching a state of deep relaxation
小題4:The author’s attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as ______.
A.scepticalB.objectiveC.optimistic D.critical

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(癥狀) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年長(zhǎng)的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(預(yù)防針) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely(明顯地)worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾紙) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(噴) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作嘔), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
小題1: In paragraph 4, we learn that ________.
A.flu injection can cause death
B.most old people die from flu
C.flu can kill old people easily
D.flu is most common in summer
小題2: Dealing with used tissues properly(正確地) is important because ________.
A.it helps keep your classroom tidy
B.it prevents the spread of colds and flu
C.people hate picking up dirty tissues
D.picking up lots of tissues is hard work
小題3: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Both colds and flu last the same time.
B.Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection.
C.Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses.
D.Both colds and flu have an aching symptom.
小題4:Which is probably the best title for the passage?
A.Colds and Flu
B.The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu
C.Prevention Is Better Than Cure
D.Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing

  Why doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.
  On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.
  Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes (簡(jiǎn)歷). It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.
  So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?
  Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.
  For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work,” he said.
  “One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training – it could be as simple as providing work experience.”
小題1:According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?
A.It is always difficult to find a job.
B.Everyone can find a job in good times.
C.Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.
D.It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
小題2: What is it that leads to their winning the prize?
A.They have found the reason for unemployment.
B.They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.
C.They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.
D.They have long studied the problem of unemployment.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Pissarides thinks his work surprising.
B.The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.
C.Some of the winners’ ideas have been put into practice.
D.It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides’ work.
小題4: According to Pissarides, _________ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.
A.spending large sums of money on training
B.teaching some knowledge of economics
C.providing work experience
D.keeping people unemployed for some time
