As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 1.from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 2.for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as is often 3. to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 4.and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime5. for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When6.to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (遠(yuǎn)古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 7. we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 8.the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 9. Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

It’s never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold. We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter – people have many different ways of dealing with the cold.

But things are not as easy for plants. Unlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat ( 發(fā)熱) to keep themselves warm. So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?

It turns out that plants have their own strategies (策略) too, said a study published on Dec 22 in the journal Nature.

According to researcher Amy Zanne of George Washington University, US, the cold is a big challenge for plants. Their living tissues (活組織) can be damaged when they freeze. “It’s like a plant’s equivalent to frostbite ( 相當(dāng)于凍瘡),” Zanne told Science Daily. Also, the process of freezing and thawing (解凍) can cause air bubbles (氣泡) to form in the plant’s water transport system. “If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant,” she explained.

To live through cold weather, plants have developed three traits (特性) , according to the study. Some plants, such as oak trees(橡樹), avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves before the winter chill sets in – effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves – and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns.

Other plants, pine trees(松樹) for example, protect themselves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles.

The third strategy is also the most extreme – some plants die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer.

However, the study also found that these smart strategies were developed very slowly – over millions

of years of evolution ( 進(jìn)化). This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades.

Scientists are hoping that this study can help people find possible ways to save plants from the threat

of climate change.

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. Why plants are not afraid of the winter chill.

B. The ways that plants survive cold weather.

C. Changes in plants’ water transport system in winter.

D. How plants evolve to keep up with climate change.

2.According to the article, if a plant freezes in the winter, ______.

A. it produces more living tissues to stay alive

B. its leaves quickly fall out and its roots begin to die

C. lots of air bubbles form in its water transport system

D. its water transport system could be blocked in the spring

3.What are scientists worried about when it comes to plants according to the article?

A. Plants may not be able to adapt to the increasingly cold climate.

B. Human activities might have a great impact on the pace of plants’ evolution.

C. Plants may not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to human-caused climate change.

D. The strategies plants develop are not good enough to protect them against cold.

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.

“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals (涼鞋), wet with heavy snow.

“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

“Am I rich? Pity, no!”

I looked at my worn-out slipcovers (椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

1.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because ______.

A. she wanted to sell old papers to them

B. she wanted to give them some presents

C. she showed great pity and care on them

D. she wanted to show her thanks to them

2.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to _______.

A. show that she was a kind-hearted lady

B. remind her she shouldn’t forget how rich she was

C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is

D. call up her memories of the good old days

3.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on _______.

A. how much money you have made

B. what attitude you have had toward life

C. the way you help others

D. your social relationship
