The break-up of a relationship can mean sleepless nights, problems concentrating, loss of appetite, even depression. Every person reacts ­­   99    the crisis differently. “One can’t expect to function normally in the first period of
100    separation,” says German psychotherapist Doris Wolf, author of a book on how to deal with a break-up. “Even if you are someone    101    has kept your feelings under control you can experience emotions as never before,” says Wolf,    102    (point) out that men and women ­­   103    (general) react differently. Men tend to suppress­­（忍住；控制）   104    pain by working, or with a new relationship, or alcohol. Women, on the other hand, sometimes suffer from depression, fear of the future, or guilty feelings. In contrast to men, women,  ­­ 105   , often have a good friend who ­­   106    (listen), give comfort or advice. That, says Wolf, is important, because anger, ­­   107    (s­­ad) and frustration need to be expressed. One will feel much ­­   108   (relieve) after doing so.

During the day, Mercer, is a hard-working dog , helping his owner and making sure she stays safe. But at night, the big, black dog slips out of the house, tries his paws at ice-skating, and even makes hot chocolate for himself .
Or at least that's what he does in Marvelous Mercer, a new book written by the dog's 12-year-old owner, Shea Megale. Shea has spinal muscular atrophy, a condition that makes her muscles very weak. She uses a motorized wheelchair. Mercer is an assistance dog that is specially trained to do many of the things Shea can't.
Shea is writing a series of six books about Mercer Marvelous mercer arrived in stores this fall, and the second book is due out early next year.
Cool Tricks
During his training, Mercer learned to carry out 60 different commands, Shea now uses them to tell Mercer what she needs as she goes about her day. “Under ”tells down. “Car” tells him to get into a vehicle.
Shea’s favorite command is “l(fā)ap”, which tells Mercer to put his front paws across her lap. “I love that ”, Shea says .
At school, Mercer carries Shea’s backpack and helps her order her lunch in the dining room. During class, he stays under her desk in case she drops her pencil. At night, he pulls the covers up for her and turns out her bedroom light.
Leading a Paw
Shea and Mercer aren’t the only ones benefiting from their special relationship. “Thanks to the book series . We’re helping a lot more people now ,” Shea says.
Some of the books profits are going to help pay for research into the disease Shea is suffering from. Money from the books also will be used to train assistance dogs for U.S. soldiers who were injured in Iraq.
Despite all of the attention –and his star status success hasn’t gone to Mercer’s head. In fact , when WR News interviewed Shea, Mercer slept through the whole thing-most likely dreaming about his next adventure !

Weekend getaways and romantic dinners used to be sweet escapes from the daily working life. Nowadays, vacations are often interrupted by the ding of an instant message on a wireless laptop. That’s not news to modern workers, many of whom may just be getting back from a long winter break during which they worked more than in years past. One-fifth of Americans carry a laptop on vacation. Countless more carry cell phones, many of which can be used to check company e-mail.
And why not? With wireless coverage extending, staying connected is simple. Recently, JetBlue Airways announced a trial of free e-mail and instant messaging services for passengers on one of its aircraft. Other airlines are expected to follow suit. But there’s a hidden cost to companies: employee burnout. Using work cell phones and checking company e-mail at the poolside is not a vacation.
“If I were a manager, I would insist that my employees leave their cell phones at work during their vacation and not check their e-mail while away ,” said Dov Eden, an organizational psychologist. “In the long run, the employee will be better rested and better able to perform his or her job.”
A nine-year study of more than 12,000 middle-aged men at high risk of heart disease showed that participants who vacationed more had a lower risk of dying than the vacation-deprived(剝奪的). In a nationwide survey, nearly half of the 2,000 adults questioned said stress has increased in the past five years, with 75 percent ranking money and work as the leading causes of stress.
One way to beat work stress could be to work from home or another remote location. This alternative work arrangement is a win-win set-up. Telecommuting（遠程辦公）has an overall beneficial effect, because the arrangement provides employees with more control over how they do their work. Telecommuters reported more job satisfaction, less stress and improved work-family balance.
71. According to the first paragraph, Americans carry a cell phone or a laptop on vacation mainly to        .
A. entertain themselves                       B. keep in touch with their family
C. check company emails                           D. tell their managers about their experiences
72. What does the underlined phrase “employee burnout” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Employees become very angry.         B. Employees get extremely tired
C. Employees leave the company.        D. Employees demand a pay rise.
73. We can learn from the last paragraph that        .
A. companies have more control over telecommuters
B. telecommuting is good for both companies and employees
C. employees will work more slowly if they work at home
D. telecommuting can reduce the company’s stress
74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. In the past, people on vacation were seldom interrupted by work.
B. Dov Eden agrees with JetBlue Airways’ announcement.
C. Many airlines have been providing their passengers with instant service.
D. Most people are under stress because they have no vacation to relax.
75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to spend your holidays  B. The modern vacation: fully wired, totally ruined
C. Modern life with cell phones  D. Telecommuting-----a win-win set-up

In so many ways, cyberspace (網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間) mirrors the real world. Some people ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips.  71  Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.  72  So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation (對話).  73
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.  74  Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask.
75  Others fail miserably.

A．Instead, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really matters.

B．Others buy and sell products.

C．They’re looking for serious love relationships.

D．But cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects (方面).

E. Some of these relationships actually succeed.
F. Where else can so many people come together to chat?
G. Chatting online isn’t always reliable (可靠的).

Two summers ago I went to Changdao, a small island near Yantai. During the night, I heard strange baby-like   31        (cry). Islanders told me   32        was stray (迷路的；離群的) cats that were calling in the wild. Well, it was strange to me to see so many stray cats on such a small island. So I asked the locals  33       more details. Then they told me  34          surprising and sad story. The island is isolated in the sea and originally had no cats. Ten yers ago, when the island was developed   35       a national park, tourists began to swarm in. These visitors from all parts of the country brought in money, but the rubbish they left   36       (draw) more and more rats onto the island. Islanders therefore introduced the cats in order to get rid of the rats.   ___37        when the number of rats decreased, the number of cats increased, and the cats began to prey on birds, chickens, and fish. For more than a month after that, my mind was haunted (回響) by the plaintive crying. So now,   38       I travel, I always hear in mind what I should bring in,   39        I don’t want to bring anything that is strange,   40        (need) or even dangerous to my destination.
