Job stress has been known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular(心血管) disease. Now Finnish scientists have shown that  50  in healthy people the pressure of work can cause damage.
High blood pressure, lack of  51  , smoking and being overweight  52  to heart disease—a    53   killer in many industrialized countries.
But Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and his colleagues, who studied the  54  histories of 812 healthy Finnish men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stress also plays an important role.
Workers who had the highest job-related stress levels at the start of the study were more than twice as  55   to die of heart disease,  56   the study published in The British Medical Journal.
Work stress  57  too much work as well as a lack of satisfaction and feeling undervalued and  58   .
Many people work long hours but if the effort is 59  the stress is minimized. Kivimaki said job pressure is damaging when being overworked is  60  with little or no control, unfair supervision and few career opportunities.
The British Heart Foundation said the results  61   earlier research showing that people in jobs with low control, such as manual workers, could be at greater  62  of heart disease than other employees.
“It is   63   for people to try to minimize levels of stress at work and for employers to  64  people to have more control at work and to be rewarded for their success,” the foundation said in a statement.

“Yeah, but   45 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be   46 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for   47 ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds   48 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”
Upset and annoyed, I   49  myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept   50  in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the   51  that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a   52  to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would   53  to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best   54 .

Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater expansion in their waistlines（腰圍）over time, a study published suggests. Researchers found that among black and Hispanic adults younger than 40, those who typically slept for five hours or less each night had a greater accumulation of belly fat over the next five years, versus（相比于） those who averaged six or seven hours. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain - but it was less obvious than that seen in "short sleepers."
The study, reported in the Journal Sleep, does not prove that too little or too much sleep directly leads to excess fat gain. But the findings support and extend those of other studies linking sleep duration - particularly a lack of sleep - to weight gain and even to higher risks of diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease. Among participants younger than 40, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more belly fat than those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. On average, short sleepers showed a 32 percent gain in visceral（內(nèi)臟的）fat, versus a 13 percent gain among those who slept six or seven hours per night, and a 22 percent increase among men and women who got at least eight hours of sleep each night. A similar pattern was seen with superficial abdominal（腹部）fat.
The findings, according to lead researcher Dr. Kristen G. Hairston, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight and health in general. "Sleep is an important part of your overall health - not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.
There may be indirect effects; people who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, relative to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss alters people's levels of appetite-regulating hormones（荷爾蒙）- which could, in theory, cause them to overeat. Depression, which often affects people's sleep and has been linked to weight gain, could also be a factor, Hairston noted.
小題1:Who may have the higher risk of being fat over the next five years?
A．Jack, a Hispanic man, aged 35, sleeps for 3 hours every night.
B．Candy, a black woman, aged 41, sleeps for about 5 hours every night.
C．Bob, an American, aged 50, sleeps for more than 12 hours every day.
D．John, a student in Africa, sleeps for more than 6 hours every week.
小題2:What does the study, reported in the Journal Sleep find?
A．Too little or too much sleep directly gives rise to the fat gain.
B．People are subject to heart disease due to the lack of sleep.
C．It is admitted that sleep plays an important part in our health.
D．Researchers find a longer sleep time is better for our health.
小題3:What does the lead researcher Dr. Kristen G. Hairston agree with?
A．People should do some exercise in their daily life.
B．There is a close link between sleep habits and health.
C．More nutrition is greatly needed when we lack sleep.
D．More and more people tend to sleep less than before.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Younger adults getting little or much sleep may become fat.
B．We are supposed to do exercise as much as possible to keep fit.
C．We should keep a good sleep habit to improve our health.
D．We have to spare no efforts to drive depression away.
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Sleep Habits Linked to Fat Gain in Younger Adults.
B．Doing Exercise Is the Best Way to Keep Fit.
C．Our Waistlines Can Be Driven Away Right Now.
D．Diabetes No Longer bother all of Young People.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Differences between Golf and Mountaineering.
B．Sports and Games.
C．Mountaineering.
D．Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?
小題2: The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in ____.
A．team game
B．enjoyment
C．a(chǎn)ge
D．rules
小題3:The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because ____.
A．mountain climbers usually compete in groups
B．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
C．mountaineering climbers are free to use their won rules to climb
D．mountaineering is a sport not a game
小題4: In the author’s opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy
mountaineering is that ____.
A．there are no man-made rules for mountaineers
B．mountaineering is a sport and not a game
C．it is one of the most dangerous sports
D．mountaineering brings us more enjoyment than other sports

We keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was…” (dies)
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹靂) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.
I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, don’t worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (幫兇) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.
TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.
小題1:By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence
before he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his________.
A．humorB．sympathy
C．deep concernD．medical knowledge
小題2:We can infer from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_______.
A．bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B．bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C．people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
D．the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happen at the same time
小題3:On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?
A．The news shown is always about someone the person knows.
B．The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.
C．The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
D．TV always shows news about famous people.
小題4:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Life skills can be learned from TV.
B．TV plays an important role in society.
C．Watching TV makes people more creative.
D．What happens in TV is very different from reality.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.（291 words）
小題1:Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
A．the material in the test is very difficult
B．they want to do better than the others
C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D．they have little time to study their lessons
小題2:We can learn from the passage______.
A．cheaters are often thought highly of
B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
小題3:In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.
A．spend more time on school than on sports
B．find good solutions instead of cheating
C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D．a(chǎn)sk their classmates for good methods of study

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.
To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
小題1:What’s the main topic of this passage?
A．What is time?
B．How to control time?
C．Make good use of time.
D．Time among Americans.
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?
A．protectB．developC．produceD．a(chǎn)ssist
小題3:The sentence “Americans seem tied to the clock” probably means __________.
A．Americans often carry a clock with them.
B．Americans can not predict the time.
C．Americans can take control over time.
D．Americans often make full use of time.
小題4:We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________________.
A．Americans have more time than others.
B．by using pocket planners, people can have more time.
C．for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier.
D．Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better.
