3．Anxiety is your mental watchman． Its fixed pattern is to search for what may be about to go wrong．it continually，and without your conscious permission，scans your life，even when you are asleep，in dreams and nightmares．（71）BWhen it finds one，it worries it．
Along with depression and anger，anxiety is one of the bad faces of worries（72）DControlled by anxiety，you will feel a lack of security and confidence． When anxiety is severe and pained，it can be a sign of a disorder，such as panic or terror．
Although anxiety seems to have a biological basis，it is habit-forming for many of us． Some of our anxious feelings are in fact wasted energy． Anxiety has gotten out of hand when it is pointless and repeated． When you are faced with a problem at work，before taking a test，or making an important decision，you will feel anxious． When you are controlled by anxiety，you are unable to control your emotions（情感） to the point of it changing your daily routine and habits．（73）GOr you find you are usually anxious at work or around your family．
At times，you should listen to the message of your negative emotions，as uncomfortable as they may be，and change your outward life rather than your emotional life．（74）FIf you are worried about the dangers of your brother's new hobby，sky diving，perhaps you ought to tell him so． Taking action may relieve your anxiety．（75）EBy learning to stop always seeking guarantee，not only can you start to undo the automatic cycle of anxiety，but also you learn that you can manage just fine without the need for constant guarantee． This in turn creates a sense of self-confidence and self-respect，which is vital to overcome anxiety．

A． For these people，saying NO to others is often of much anxiety．
B．It reviews your work，your love，your play，until it finds an imperfection．
C． Comparing anxiety with depression helps to discuss possible cures for anxiety．
D． These three common emotions are considered the cause of most mental illnesses．
E．If that doesn't work，then it's time to deal with any automatic thoughts in yourself．
F． If you are anxious about the work，you might get to the office an hour earlier every day．
G． You find yourself waking up anxious，going through the day anxious and going to bed anxious．

2．A glass a day keeps obesity at bay．Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content，but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet．Looking at past studies they found that，while heavy drinkers do put on weight，those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight．
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says，"Light to moderate alcohol intake，especially of wine，may be more likely to protect against，rather than promote，weight gain"．The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions，particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight．
Boston University's Dr．Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms （生物學機制） relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood．His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes（糖尿�。�，which relate to increasing obesity．Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat，and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods．They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks，taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight．
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one's risk of becoming obese．What's more，a study three years ago suggested that reveratrol，a compound present in grapes and red wine，destroys fat cells．

46．The passage is mainly for thoseD．
A．who produce wine  
B．who are eager to lose weight

A．properly          
B．carefully
C．excitedly         
D．frequently
48．Why has alcohol been thought to cause weight gain？B
A．Because its calories are stored in fat．
B．Because it is rich in sugar．
C．Because it changes drinking patterns．
D．Because it increases the risk of diabetes．
49．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear．
B．Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat．

D．Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight．
50．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows？B
A．How to do some easy experiments．
B．How to prove the finding mentioned above．
C．How to make wine in a healthy way．
D．How to reduce the calories contained in wine．

1．The hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef． In real life，clownfish are among the thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．Stretching l，250 miles along Australia's northeastern． coast，the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world．
    A coral reef is a living underwater structure． But these days，the Great Barrier Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing，pollution，and high temperatures are harming its health． That's why the government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef．
Underwater Garden
   While coral may look like a plant，it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．Those sea animals are called coral polyps． 
   As polyps die，they leave hard．shells behind． Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years，they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep．
   In many ways，the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden．  Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in strange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains． Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．
  The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish，dashing among gaps in the coral．The reef supplies food． and． shelter to creatures living in and around the coral．  Turtles，sharks，sea horses，and crabs are among its many inhabitants．
Helping Humans
     While the reef is important to ocean life，it helps humans，too．  People rely on the reef for both food and jobs． It also provides medicine used to treat disease．  Each year，the Great Barrier Reef contributes about  $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．
Stressed Out   
    Is it surprising，then，that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress？Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef．  Air and water pollution are also doing harm． At the same time，warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白） on half of the reef． The high temperatures cause the coral to turn white，often killing it．
Reef Rescue
    In an effort to help save the reef，the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it． That plan increases the number of"green zones．"Those are areas that are off-limits to fishermen and boats． However，tourists and researchers can still visit them． Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．
     The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats．"It is very important that we give   B reef proper protection for the future，"said one government official．  The reef is Australia's greatest natural treasure．

8．When Jack was a small boy，he was once asked to give a speech about"A Big Challenge in My Life"．To talk before the whole class，he was （61）terribly （terrible） shy．However，he had no other （62）choice （choose），though．First Jack was to draft the speech，（63）which was a piece of cake for him because he was a good writer．But the hard part （64）lay （lie） in his oral presentation，for it was not allowed to read the paper．
A real trial began when Jack stood on the platform with his legs （65）trembling （tremble） and his mind blank．He took a deep breath and tried his best （66）to calm （calm） down．Surprisingly，it did work on him．（67）After a few seconds，he was no more nervous and finished his speech．To his surprise，he made（68）it!
From then on，his fear of talking before a big audience disappeared．Actually Jack had his confidence （69）built （build） up．Now he turns out to be a good speaker．
As we know，the greater difficulty we meet on our way to success，the （70）more likely we will be able to achieve our goals．

7．An accident in a bicycle race in the United States eight years ago alerted James Chang to the importance of sports medicine．One of his riding companions（25）was injured（injure） severely in the accident．
From then on，Chang，45，a Chinese-American who was born in Anhui province，began to launch business relating to physical safety and medical assistance，particularly in sport．So（26）whenhe took up marathon running two years ago he was shocked to see frequent injuries，many of them avoidable．
"I always heard people talking about people in marathons in China dying suddenly，"he says，adding that one reason why many of these deaths happen is（27）thatthere is a lot of ignorance in China about what marathon running involves．
Many amateur runners in China who are highly competitive get carried away and run at a pace that is far in excess of（28）whatthey can expect their body to take，and even ignore clear signals such as pain，Chang says．
As Chinese have placed more emphasis on leading healthy life-styles in recent years，marathon and other long-distance running（29）have become（become） a highly popular sport across the country quickly．
More than 50 China Athletic Association-sanctioned urban marathons were held in the country last year，and 39 races involving more than 750，000 runners were held the year before．However，long-distance running is a serious business that can exact a heavy physical toll on runners．
"Marathon carries（30）higher（high） risks of injury than other forms of sport，"Hou says，adding that the key to avoiding injury is to strengthen the body through regular exercise and to be aware of one's own physical condition．
Although some chronic injuries are hard（31）to avoid（avoid），even for highly experienced runners，cramp，fainting and shock can easily be prevent（32）ifrunners better understand the sport，he says．

5．Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in tight job market．
Bob Crossley，a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day．"It's amazing how many candidates eliminate （淘汰） themselves，"he says．"Resumes （簡歷） arrive with faults．Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly．Once I see a mistake，I refuse the candidates，"Crossley concludes，"If they cannot take care of these details，why should we trust them with a job？"
Can we pay too much attention to details？Absolutely not．
Perfectionists（完美主義者） struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward．"To keep from losing the forest for the trees，"says Charles Garfield，the professor at the University of California，San Francisco，"We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working will influence the larger picture．If they don't，we should drop them and move to something else．"
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA．"The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90percent of the time，"says Garfield．"But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal．This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary．"Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake．
Again and again，we see that by doing little things within our grasp well，large rewards follow．
