Anxiety is the appropriate（適當(dāng)?shù)模〆motion when the immediate personal terror―of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺傷）in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self──disappears.

The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具體的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety―for good times may end．If the world is going badly―it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.

It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（癥狀）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.

People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all―and so complicate the ordinary course of life―or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.

58．The author holds that         .

       A．a(chǎn)nxiety is a good thing                                       B．a(chǎn)nxiety is a symptom of mental illness

       C．some anxiety can lead to changes for the better    D．no anxiety is bad for society

59．According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by      .

       A．a(chǎn)ll those who are too anxious                B．a(chǎn)ll those who have anxiety

       C．those who have no anxiety                    D．those who are not anxious enough

60．The best title for the passage would be     .

       A．One Man’s Thought about Anxiety       B．The Right Amount of Anxiety

   C．Anxiety versus Safety                           D．Different Attitudes to Anxiety

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13―19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

   Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

   “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

  At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize American schools,”he says.“It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

54．This year      teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

   A．twenty three hundred                           B．thirteen hundred

   C．over three thousand                             D．less than two thousand

55．The whole exchange programme is mainly to       .

   A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America

   B．send students in America to travel in Germany

   C．let students learn something about other countries

   D．have teenagers learn new languages

56．What is particular in America schools is that       .

   A．there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.

   B．there are a lot of outside activities

   C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all

   D．students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

57．After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought       .

   A．a(chǎn) better education should include something good from both American and Germany

   B．German schools trained students to be better citizens

   C．American schools were not as good as German schools

   D．the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students

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 form―football, basketball, 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 in high mountains? This astonishment it 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 man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf. and football. There are, of course, rules of 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 teamwork.

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. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

50. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Soccer and golf.  B. Skiing and skating.  C. Cycling and hockey.   D. Mountaineering.

51. The underlined word "passion" (Para. 2) could best be replaced by         .

52. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because       .

A. it has man-made rules   

B. it is too dangerous for climbers

C. it can't bring people joy and leisure

D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods

53. We know from the passage that        .

A. mountaineering has no appeal to people

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

C. a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirty

D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps

I entered St Thoma’s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there .  I was an unsatisfactory student , for my heart , as you might have guessed , was not in it . I wanted , I had always wanted to be a writer , and in the evening , after my high tea , I wrote and read . Before long , I wrote a novel , called “ Liza of Lambeth”, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted . It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success . It was of course an accident , but naturally I did not know that . I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession ; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine , I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now , and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing , I realize I was taking a fearful risk . It never even occurred to me .

The next ten years were very hard , and I earned an average of £100 a year . Then I had a bit of luck . The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed ; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready , and he was at his wits’ end．He read a play of mine and , though he did not much like it , he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced . It ran for fifteen months . Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time . Nothing of the kind had ever happened before . I was the talk of the town . One of the students at St Thomas’s Hospital asked the eminent surgeon with whom I had worked whether he remembered me . “ Yes, I remember him quite well , “ he said . “ One of our failures , I’m afraid ."
