【2013·潍坊5月模拟】
Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health and emotional well­being­­and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.
“Rest，relaxation，and stress reduction are very important for people’s well­being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities，such as exercise and meditation，but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking so me time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing，so a rested，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.
Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation ha s on one’s mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation，even if it is a 24­hour time­out.” The trips could be good for their health，good for their family and good for their businesses.
The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued，bu t that’s not always good for the individual，the family or the employer.
Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker，making it actually more difficult to shift into less­stressed states，” Mulhern said.
1．How did the author introduce the topic of the text?
A．By making comparisons. B．By giving an example.
C．By raising questions. D．By providing data.
2．According to Natasha Withers，vacations can________.
A．weaken reaction system
B．cure serious diseases
C．reduce the level of well­being
D．decrease the risk of heart disease
3．Expedia’s survey shows that American s________.
A．dislike family gatherings
B．have the shortest vacation
C．enjoy as many vacations as the French
D．think much of spending long hours on the job
4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．One should never wait to relax.
B．Work and rest go against each other.
C．Time and opportunity wait for no man.
D．A relaxed mind determines everything.
5．What is mainly talked about in the text?
A．Ways to relax in one’s free time.

Kilimanjaro Climb : a Rite of Passage for Father and Son
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I，the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol of his transition into manhood, and a great change in our relationship.
Day three on the mountain, Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then, on the night we climbed the crater rim, less than 40 minutes from the summit, Josh fell. I was walking ahead, and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides,
He forced himself to his feet, shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.
“ I’v e never been in so much pain and so happy at the same t i m e，，，h e said, as we sat side by sid e on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know, in the past
when w e’d go on camping and rafting trips, you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up, I climbed it. I never felt like a kid, even when 1 was in pain. You never acted like a parent.”“That’s not quite t r u e，”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell-and I did not even notice, my first thought was, ‘Oh my God! I’m such an awful parent!’ But then it hit me, ‘He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn't need me to help.，”
