A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is？” The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g. It doesn't matter on the absolute 【1】 (weigh). It depends on how long you hold 【2】 . If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have 【3】 ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It's exactly the same weight, but the 【4】 (long) I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

【1】 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷爾蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. __【2】 _

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

【3】 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 【4】 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 【5】

A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act

B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it

D. Anger may cause you a cancer.

E. Do not express your anger while angry.

F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time

G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

【題目】I decided a few months ago that l was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I turned in some long-saved frequent flier miles(航空積分里程) for the airplane ticket, but had to shell out cash I really couldn’t afford for the hotel. I found a travel website where a discounted promotional 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.

About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable to another person, couldn’t be changed to a later date and wasn’t refundable(可退款的)．For the next two weeks, I tried selling it on Craig’s list with no success. Five days before the “big weekend” I gave up trying to spend any money and decided I’d contact some friends who live in Chicago and offer someone a free “staycation”. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.

That’s when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the rooms in the wrong way. Instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. I finally found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and facilitated the transfer of the rooms. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her young daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room.

【1】What did the author decide to treat himself to?

A. A big meal in Chicago.

B. A 4-day travel.

C. A holiday abroad.

D. A get-together with family.

【2】 The author purchased a 3-night stay from a newly-opened hotel .

A. to act as a promoter

B. to experience e-business

C. to get a free air ticket

D. to save some money

【3】 The room the author booked could only be .

A. cancelled within 24 hours

B. changed to a later date

C. transferred to another person

D. refunded half of the money

【4】 What did the author decide to do with the room at last?

A. Sell it online.

B. Let it go to waste.

C. Use it to help strangers in need.

D. Offer it to one of his friends.

【題目】My transportation was unexpectedly smooth and I arrived at the meeting half an hour earlier. I kept my eyes on the restaurant door. Several customers entered, but not my friend. At 6:00 pm, she sent me a text message: “Urgent work to finish. Will be 20 minutes late.”

I had left my book in the office, so I spent the time thinking of my experiences of being late in China. On my first visit in 1985, punctuality was deeply rooted in the Chinese hearts. There were no traffic jams then.

As a teacher in Canada, I always insisted on punctuality. I would open the classroom door to a late student for the first time and the second, but not the third. During the six years I worked for CCTV, I had a Chinese friend whom I often saw at lunch time, or after work. We used to meet at the subway station nearby. He was always late by 10-20 minutes. To my question, “You were busy?” he would surprisingly answer, “ No.” Once I asked him to check the clock in his office, he smiled.

In March 2015, I got permanent residence (居住權(quán)) in China. The ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 am at the Public Security Bureau on the Second Ring Road. I told my driver I had to get there by 8:40 am. “No problem,” he replied. But he thought he had time to drop someone off at the airport before picking me up. I desperately waited for him. Then, to rub salt into my wound, he had to stop at the exit of a gas station. Finally, I entered the room at 9:07 am ── the last guest to arrive!

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The author is always late for work or any activities.

B. The author dislikes making friends with unpunctual persons.

C. The author hates being late from the bottom of heart.

D. The author can do something to deal with unpunctuality.

【2】If the author’s student comes late for the third time, _______.

A. he will let him/her remain outside

B. he will open the door for him/her again

C. he will shout at him/her loudly

D. he will tell him/her to take care next time

【3】How did the Chinese friend feel when the author asked him to check the clock?

A. Excited. B. Embarrassed.

C. Satisfied. D. Shocked.

【4】Why didn’t the author arrive at the ceremony on time?

A. Because the gas was running out.

B. Because his driver met a guest at the airport.

C. Because there was a big traffic jam on the road.

D. Because the driver estimated the time wrongly.

【題目】For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.

This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).

Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland’s Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive(連續(xù)的) days.

Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.

Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy(皮下活體組織檢查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.

On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.

“The biological and psychological mechanisms(機(jī)體) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren’t consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.

【1】What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study?

A. What they wrote.

B. Where they wrote.

C. When they wrote.

D. How often they wrote.

【2】According to the text, the experiment lasted .

A. about three days B. about a month

C. about two weeks D. about ten days

【3】The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A. speeded B. showed C. limited D. ruined

【4】 What would be the best title of the text?

A. Sharing with others can reduce stress.

B. Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.

C. Expressive writing heals physical wounds.

D. Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.

A gathering of more than 700 oriental storks(東方白鸛)was recorded at Naolihe National Nature Reserve in Heilongjiang Province last month. Such a big gathering has been seen before in the reserve. The researchers had often recorded only about 150 in the past autumns. Now the population of the large white birds for black wing feathers and long legs are estimated at 3.000 in the world. It is certain a sign that the reserve’s conservation is better now and before. The reserve is considered it as one of the most important stopover site for oriental storks. The storks winter in it and the researchers will keep a eye on the birds until you fly away.

【題目】Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting（面對(duì)） a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet— and stopped him cold.”

Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; Boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

【1】Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A. He faced huge risks.

B. Fear prevented him from trying.

C. He lacked mighty forces.

D. Failure blocked his way to success.

【2】What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A. Act slightly above your abilities.

B. Swallow more than you can digest.

C. Develop more mysterious powers.

D. Learn to make creative decisions.

【3】What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?

A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill.

C. His spiritual force. D. His real fear.

【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A. Boldness can be gained little by little.

B. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.

C. Trying without success is meaningless.

D. Repeated failure creates a better life.
