Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意:此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。
Model Test 1 参考答案
Model Test 参考答案Model Test 1 参考答案Part I WritingMy View on Part-time JobsIt is quite common that many college students now take part-time jobs in their spare time. However, there is still a controversy about whether it is good or not. Some people think that taking a part-time job certainly brings some benefits to students.In the first place, it is good and effective for college students to get to know the society and learn how to get along with different kinds of people. What's more, taking a part-time job provides students with a golden opportunity to get some work experience, which will make them more competitive in the job market in the future. Finally, students can make some money, which can help to lessen their families' financial burdens.Of course, there are also some problems arising from students' taking part-time jobs. First, some students may spend too much time on their part-time jobs, then neglect their studies. Second, some students may be cheated by others since they are not mature enough to make correct judgments.As for me, I hold the view that college students need to have more access to the outside world. However, they should balance their social practices and academic studies. After all, they should know what their main task is.范文点评本文题目为“我对兼职工作的看法”,从三个提纲来看,有些人认为大学生找兼职工作可以了解社会、积累经验等,有些人认为兼职工作影响学习,据此判断此题为正反观点论证题,要求考生在论证两方观点后要提出自己的看法。

2009年12月大学英语四级考试答案详解Part ⅠWritingCreating a Green CampusRecently, with the idea of making and maintaining “a green earth”being the focus of the society, “green campus” has become a more and more popular concept in universities or colleges, which, undoubtedly, will bring us an ever-lasting benefit to both our campus and our society.The concept of “green campus” does not only mean a green environment but also refers to an environmental sense in people’s mind. Campus plays a crucial role in educating the young generation and the consciousness of “green campus” will definitely produce a profound effect on students’ various environmental protection activities after their graduation. What’s more, the young generation is under the burden of severe environmental pollution and there are many problems waiting for them to solve.To make “green campus” come true, firstly, it is necessary to work out effective principles for the development of sustainable and recyclable campus. Secondly, it calls for people’s awareness of the serious pollution around us and actual action to reduce the waste. Last but not least, it is necessary to strengthen the ties between campus and society, so as to ensure that “green campus” can work smoothly with the co-effort of the whole society.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)篇章结构核心词汇1. aid n. ①帮助,援助②助手v. 帮助,援助【用】financial aid经济援助;merit aid/ Merit-based奖学金;need-based aid助学金或经济资助;foreign aid外援,对外援助;hearing aid助听器;aids and appliances用具,设备【搭】in aid to用来帮助,起……作用;lead one’s aid (to)援助,给予帮助;in aid of作为援助……之【拓】aidance n. 协助,帮助;aidant a. 帮助的;aided a. 辅助的2. project v. ①设计②发射n. 事业,计划,工程【用】Project Hope希望工程;project manager项目经理;project plan项目规划;project budget 项目预算,工程预算【拓】projection n. 突出,发射;projecting a. 突出的3. selective a. 选择性的【用】selective analysis重点分析;selective breeding选择育种,选择性繁殖【拓】select v. 挑选,选拔a. 精选的;selection n. 选择,挑选,选集4. package n. 包裹;套装软件,程序包a. 一揽子的【用】package design包装设计;package agreement一揽子安排,一揽子方案;package holiday(旅行社安排一切的)一揽子旅游;package tour包办旅行(路线、地点、时间和费用等均作统一规定和安排的旅游);package program组装程序【拓】pack n.包装,背包v. 包装,压紧;packaged a. 袋装的;packager n. 打包机5. ranking a. 头等的;n. 等级,地位【用】ranking list排名;ranking method等级法,排序法【拓】rank n. 等级;队列;v. 排列,6. grant v. ①授予②承认;n. ①授予物②拨款【用】grant of a patent授予专利权【搭】take…for granted认为……是理所当然; Granted/Granting that即使……(也)【拓】grants n. 补助金,津贴(grant的复数)7. enrol v. 登记,入学,参军,注册【搭】enrol in选课,参加【拓】enrollment n. 登记,入伍;enrollee n. 入学者,入伍者8. eliminate v. 消除,排除【用】eliminate illiteracy扫盲;eliminate poverty消除贫困;eliminate noise 消除噪声【拓】eliminate 是指把已进入者从中排除;exclude v. 指把想进入者拒之门外9. qualify v. 使具有资格,证明……合格【用】qualifying examination资格考试,初试;qualifying competition预选赛,资格赛【搭】qualify as 取得……资格,作为……合适;qualify for有……的资格,合格【拓】qualified a. 有资格的,合格的10. excel v. 胜过,优于,擅长n.

When skimming,readers only try to locate specific information and they often do not even follow the development of the story.(10)Scanning is another technique readers often use when looking up a word in a telephone book or dictionary to search for key words or ideas.Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page to seek specific words and phrases.Based on this,I will introduce to you three strategies which may help you to conduct effective reading.First,make sure the books are specific to your age and reading levels.Second,find some background information which relates to the book before reading.Third,leave plenty of time for reflection and let yourself be free to develop imagination at the end of the reading.OK,today we had a brief look at the ways to be effective readers,and the skills of reading as well. Undoubtedly,reading is always beneficial.I hope you'll enjoy reading and keep reading after today's lecture.Thank you for your attention.【精解精析】1.written information【定位】First of all,I'd say,reading is a method of absorbing written information.(第二段第一句)【解析】根据定位句可知,作者认为读书首先是对书面信息的吸收,此处缺少名词,故填入written information。

大学英语四级Model Test 1考试答案Part ΙWritingSampleDifferent people hold different opinions on how to get acquainted with the word we live in more efficiently. By reading more books or by traveling more? The topic has aroused many people’s attention.Many people maintain that reading is more meaningful than traveling. Through reading, we can learn a lot about history, cultures and customs, gain much know-how that will be useful for our life and work. Some other people ,however, believe that traveling enlightens human beings more directly. It helps expand our horizons, and makers us see the world by our own eyes to get first-hand understanding. Besides, it’s more relaxing.As for me, the former view makes more sense. Although traveling is a good way to know one’s country and the world, it takes more time and costs more than average people can afford, whereas reading is obviously easier to do, books can bring us to anywhere we want.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1 C2 C3 D4 A5 B6 A7 D8 fuel 9 geothermally-generated electricity10 deep hot rockPart ⅢListening ComprehensionSection A11.B 12.C 13.

Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?25. What is Karen thinking of doing?Section BPassage OneIn Greece, only rich people will rest in peace for ever when they die. Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most p0eople choose to rent the grave for three years and even after it has been dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Athens is the main reason why the dead are dug up after the three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in the hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Athens’ city council wants to introduce cremation, that is burning dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problems. But the Greek church resists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?27. Why are most dead bodies in Athens dug up after three years?28. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of dead bodies?29. What practice does the Greek church object to?Passage TwoIf you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your own native country. Most large cities in the United States offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating the food of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many different kinds of restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other part of the world. They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are many people from western Europe, Greece,Latin America, and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there. Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese, they are very delicious and tasty.30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the United States?31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from enjoying the foods there?32. How is a typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?Passage ThreeOne winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, U.S.A, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time.But their teacher, James Nasmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of the American football. Nasmith showed the men a basket he had hung at the each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to sue a round European football, at first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Nasmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball has become one of the world’s most popular sports.33. What did Nasmith do to entertain his students one winter day?34. According the speaker, what was the problem with the new game?35. How was the problem with the new game solved?。

Model Test 1(除完型之外所有的答案-阅读带解析+听力原文)
Model Test 1Part 1 writingToo Much Expenditure on FashionThe ever-changing fashion mirrors the advance of human civilization. And the desire for beauty and fashion is blameless. However, some college students dip into their purses in order to keep up with the Joneses. Some of them even cut down the expending for books and meals to satisfy their desire for fashionable dress.As far as I am concerned, college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves of fashion. Attention should be paid to the disadvantages of the blinded following of fashion. Firstly, the pursuit of fashion has made many college students get lost. Some of them even fail to focus on their study. Besides, it is a costly hobby to follow the tide, which will impose financial stresses on their parents.All in all, we should adopt a more reasonable attitude towards the pursuit of fashion.Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) .1.

(共40分,每个2分)Passage 1Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess (工业实力)over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society-government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.31. Now a nation's political influence depends on _________.A. the strength of its military forcesB. its ability to compete in industryC. economic marketsD. both A and B32. The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of_________.A. its powerful military forcesB. its vast landC. its industrial competitivenessD.its contributions to world peace33. The author indicates that ______ is threatening American political power.A. other countriesB. the declining U.S. industrial baseC. a new standard for measuring powerD. less advanced technology34. America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of ___________.A. its ability to adapt technologyB. its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its peopleC. its ability to compete in the world marketsD. both A and B35. The purpose of writing this article is __________.A. to draw the readers' attention to a new standard for measuring powerB. to demonstrate American political influence in the worldC. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrialbase.D. to show American industrial prowessPassage 2Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light".The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obscured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape; Eventhe scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow blindness or lost.

A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the languages those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle. They compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We actas if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks, Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in the way that seems sensible to them. With our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is non sense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential they will need to get in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and le arn it.41.What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?A.by copying what other people do.B.by making mistakes and having them corrected.C.by listening to explanations from skilled people.D.by asking a great many questions.42.What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?A.They give children correct answers.B.They point out children’s mistakes to them.C.They allow children to mark their own work.D.They encourage children to mark to copy from one another.43.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are___.A.not really important skills.B.more important than other skills.C.basically different from learning adult skills.D.basically the same as learning other skills.44.Exams, grades, and marks should be abolished because children’s progress should only be estimated by___.cated persons.B.the children themselves.C.teachers.D.parents.45.The author fears that children will grow up into adults while being___.A.too independent of others.B.too critical of themselves.C.incapable to think for themselves.D.incapable to use basic skills.Passage 4On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her keys in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o'clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-"a master key"perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn't go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o'clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.46. Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because_______.A. she worked at a club on the dayB. she visited a club on ThursdayC. she said visitors on ThursdaysD.a special visitor came on Thursday47.

汉译英:(人们经常抱怨就医难,学费贵,可一个值得关注的问题是大学生就业难。。。)
There are many complaints about the inaccessibility of medical care and high tuitions. However, another thing that deserves attention is the difficulty of college graduates in getting employed. Those with master’s degrees can no longer find a job as easily as they did ten years ago. Because of the increasingly intense competition for a position, academic excellence and proficient expertise will not necessarily be translated into an ideal job. Education authorities have been seeking ways to create more opportunities of employment.

在生活或事业的种种琐事中,性格比才智更能指导我们,心灵比头脑更能引导我们,而由判断而得的克制、耐心和自律比天资更能让我们受益。
在一个充斥这浪费和奢侈的年代里,但愿我能向世人证明:人类的真正需求少之又少。
反思自己的过错,不重蹈覆辙,才是真正的悔悟。优于别人并无高贵之处。真正的高贵在于优于自己的过去。

但是,只有阳关而没有阴霾,只有快乐而没有悲伤,那就全然不是人生。即便是最幸福的生活,那也是一团纠缠不清的纱线。丧亲之痛和神恩赐福此起彼伏,让我们悲喜交加。甚至连死亡本身也使生命更加珍贵。人们在生命的庄严时刻,在哀伤和丧亲的阴影之下
