As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation. 16 you are in the habit of rushing through life，being on the go from morning till night，it is hard to 17 down and unwind(放松). But relaxation is 18 for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 19 part of everyday life. There is no way to 20 it. In fact，it is not the “baddy” as it is often supposed to be. A 21 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 22 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 23 it can lead to poor performance and 24 health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 25 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress，and such 26 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 27 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress，in 28 form，we react both chemically and physically. In fact，we make a choice between 29 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 30 between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are 31 to be so extreme，but however little the stress，it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction 32 long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes 33 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure，coronary heart disease all have 34 links with stress. 35 we cannot remove stress from our lives，we need to find ways to deal with it.

第二部分：阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分50 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Nile Cruise in Egypt
It’s hard to beat Egypt for its mix of heat and culture in December. A seven-night cruise on board a traditional
19th-century-style wooden luxury sailing vessel, which sleeps up to 12 and cruises between Luxor and Aswan, costs from £775 per head full board, departing on December 11 through Bales (0845 057 0600 ; www. balesworldwide. com).
Christmas Markets in Cologne
Perhaps the best of northern Europe’s many Christmas markets is
Cologne —there are seven separate themed markets which start
opening this week. Cologne is also one of the easiest places to get to by train. Eurostar connections from London via Brussels take just under four hours and return tickets are available this winter from £89 (0843 218 6186; www. eurostar. com ). For details of accommodation and markets see Cologne Tourism (www. cologne-tourism. com).
Skiing in Val Thorens
If you want to be sure of snow for skiing in the Alps before Christmas you need to head high — where you will get the advantage of quiet slopes and low prices. A week’s stay at Chalet Eliane costs from £399 chalet board through Crystal Ski (0871 231 2256; www.crystalski. ), or, much more luxurious, a week’s half board at the five-star hotel costs from £1,195 through Crystal Finest (0871 971 0364; www.crystal finest. ). Both packages are for departures on December 13.
Japanese Onsen
Snow monkeys warming themselves in the hot springs at
Yudanaka make an endearing sight. As snowflakes fall you may be
tempted to climb in yourself (perhaps not the same pool, though).
Experience this, overnight at a temple and a ryokan, and see Tokyo
and Hiroshima, traveling by bullet train, on the 14-night Japan Unmasked tour: £1,600, excluding flights (0117 314 4620; www. ).

Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a unive rsity graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes.The cost was $25 instead of $800.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.
41. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?
A. To avoid becoming his clone.
B. To resemble him in appearance.
C. To develop in a different direction.
D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.
42. What can we learn about the author’s children?
A. His daughter does better in school.
B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.
C. His son tried hard to finish homework.
D. His son couldn’t writ e his book reports.
43. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_______.
A. his son had the ability to fix it.
B. it would save him much time.
C. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss
D. other motorheads would come to help.
44. In the a uthor’s eyes, motorheads are _______.
A. tidy and hardworking
B. cheerful and smart
C. lazy but bright
D. relaxed but rude
45. What did the author realize in the end?
A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.
B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.
C. Architects play a more important role than builders.
D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.
C
When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in gre at detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently
in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
46. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family.
D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.
A. a description of personal values and social values
B. an analysis of how work was related to competence
C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children
D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men
48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.
A. rec ording the boys’ effort in school
B. evaluating the men’s mental health
C. comparing different sets of scores
D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability
49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Quick to react
B. Having a thin edge
C. Clear and definite
D. sudden and rapid
50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one’s success.
D
Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase “Management is do ing things right; leadership is doing the right things,” he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms.
When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was
one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership m eans that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.
51. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?
A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.
B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.
C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the
terms.
D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.
52. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic
suggests?
A. When people have little determination, they will be successful.
B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.
C. If people have positive mental attitude, they are likely to succeed.
D. If people have negative mental attitude, they are certain to succeed.
53. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen
Covey?
A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.
B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.
C. They cannot adjust themselves.
D. First personally they must manage themselves.
54. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?
A. Bright future.
B. Good beginning.
C. Good scenery.
D. Pretty background.
55. To be good leaders, what must managers pay close attention to?
A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.
B. They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths.
C. They must pay close attention to modesty.
D. They must be concerned about courage and patience.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things
For most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln(窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.
56. How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?
(no more than 10 words)
57. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?
(no more than 20 words)
58. Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?
(no more than 10 words)
59. Explain the underlined sentence. (no more than 20words)
60. According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact us in the future? (no more
than 15 words)

61.One Thing I’m Proud of
I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.
The first day I went to high school, I saw some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at how skilful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practising until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.
I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb “Practice makes perfect.”
