You freeze in horror（惊骇） and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version（版本） and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured（慎重的）: don’ t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended（冒犯）, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionally（非故意地）You accidentally reveal(透露) to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’ d like to take. In this case, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this case, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually made in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak personally as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your mistakes calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.21. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. tiredB. cautiousC. funnyD. awful22. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. tell the receiver to ignore the errorB. apologize in a serious mannerC. send a short notice to everyoneD. learn to write the name correctly23. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A. Avoid further involvement.B. Try offering other choices.C. Make a light-hearted apology.D. Meet other staff members.24. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?A. By asking the receiver to control his anger.B. By promising not to offend the receiver again.C. By talking to the receiver face to face.D. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.BIn terms of maths, I was second to none at school. My teachers recommended thatI study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set ona life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not appear in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It's great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector（领域）. It's a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days it's as important as reading and writing. I've realized that at university I'd achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code programs limits your influence on the world far more than ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don't want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I'm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I'm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials for science and want to change the world.25.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragr aph 2 refer to?A. Personal learning style.B. Traditional sex concept.C. Sex characteristicsD. Profession difference.26. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A. Enriching imagination.B. Winning popularity.C. Improving language competence.D. Increasing job possibilities.27. How did the author feel for her major choice?A. Approving.B. AmbitiousC. Regretful.D. Discouraged.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Girls, Choose More WiselyB. Good Subjects, Good FutureC. Art or Science, Either is OKD. Catch Chances, Change the World CResearchers in the psychology（心理学） department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders（混乱）.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight" reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal（言语的） or physical conflict ("fight"), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation ("flight"). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called "tend and befriend." That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing（养育） their young ("tend"), and by looking for social contact and support from others - especially other females ('befriend").Scientists have long known that in the fight-or- flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin（催产素）, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator（研究者）, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that "animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious." While men also secrete(分泌）oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, dealing with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.29. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than womento _____ .A. turn to friends for helpB. find an escape from realityC. solve a conflict calmlyD. seek comfort from children30.

Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.D. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.31. What can be learned from the passage?A. Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.D. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.32. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How men and women suffer from stressB. How men and women get over stressC. How researchers overcome stress problemsD. How researchers handle stress-related disordersDRunners who encounter（遇到） visual and auditory(听觉的) distractions (干扰)may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered those distractions may lead to injury.Daniel Herman, MD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted research on the effects of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how many times a runner breathes per minute and how much oxygen is consumed（消耗,消耗） by the body.The runners were all injury-free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman's team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visualdistraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runner having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runner having to note when a certain word was spoken by a certain voice.When compared to running without distractions, the participants applied force faster to their left and right legs called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all.“Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably（不利地）affect running performance and increase injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be helped, but you may be able to reduce poten tially cumulative(累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic （混乱的） environment such as during a destination of marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention - like a new song playlist.”Dr. Herman's team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues（提示,线索）.33. Paragraph 2 tells us the research ___________.A. processB. resultsC. reflectionD. questions34. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to ____________.A. breathe heavier and have lower heart ratesB. get an increased amount of ground reaction forceC. apply more force with less oxygen consumptionD. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadaysB. Listening to a new song while running ensure performanceC. Runners are advised to reduce distractions in a destination of marathonD. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions36. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman's team?A. How distractions should be used in trainingB. What effective ways can cure leg injuriesC. Why runners use auditory and visual cuesD.
