As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential (必要的)for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital (有必要的) to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the person himself. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously important for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more early days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises  (危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but how little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we

need to find ways to deal with it.

1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

D. they are becoming busier with their work

2.According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his__________.

A. not fearing stress

B. knowing the art of relaxation

C. high sense of responsibility

D. having control over performance

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress.    B. Stress is always harmful to people.

Who do you look up to? No matter what stage of life you're at, it's good to have someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree (主席令) on Sept 17 to award 42 individuals the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and various honorary titles, China Daily reported. The people who received medals have all made outstanding contributions to the nation's construction and development.

The 89-year-old Shen Jilan is one of the eight people who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is the only deputy (代表) in China to serve at all 13 National People's Congresses (人民代表大会) since 1954. She witnessed the development of the People's Congress system. She has been engaged in making and revising national laws most of her life. It was she who proposed the clause on ''equal pay for equal work'' between men and women, which was written into the first Constitution of PRC in 1954.

China's development can't continue without lawmakers, nor can it move forward without scientists.

Ye Peijian, who received the honorary title ''the people's scientist'', has been devoted to China's lunar program for two decades. Known as ''the Father of Chang'e Probes'', his team of aerospace engineers put lunar landers on the moon. On Jan 3 of this year, the Chang'e 4 probe touched down on the moon's far side, marking the program’s latest achievement.

''The space program is about 40 years late with the US, but we have used Chinese technology in our program, '', Ye told GBTimes when asked about the lunar exploration program.

Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity. Raul Castro Ruz, former Cuban president, was awarded a Friendship Medal.

This honor recognizes ''the revolutionary work of his life and his contribution to strengthening relations between Cuba and China, '' said Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, president of the Council of State and Council of Ministers of Cuba, on social media.

Almost every country in the world has official honors reserved for distinguished people. For example, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor given in the United States. ''It recognizes people who have made an especially praise-worthy contribution to world peace, cultural or other significant public endeavors. '' The late British scientist Stephen Hawking was once given this award.

1.What's the main purpose of the article?

A.To say thanks to national heroes.

B.To tell readers what makes a good role model.

C.To describe the awards recently given by the local government.

D.To introduce some of the people who won national awards.

2.What of the following is true according to the passage?

C.Friendship Medal was awarded to the late British scientist Stephen Hawking.

D.China alone has varieties of honorary titles awarded to distinguished people

3.Why was Ye Peijian awarded an honorary title?

A.For his design of the Chang'e 4 probe.

B.For his years of work in China's lunar program.

C.For leading his team to excel past the US space program.

Sometimes life makes more sense when you look at it in reverse (相反). That's certainly been true for me.

Last Christmas, at 39, I caught a disease which attacked my knees and eyes. At its worst I could hardly walk or see. For months I' d have to crawl (爬) across the floor to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when my husband wasn't home. For a while I could only see shapes and colors so I couldn't drive.

My parents kept begging me to let them come out to stay with me in Los Angeles, but our apartment is small and I knew there was nothing they could really do to help me. For the excellent health insurance my husband had through his job, I was receiving the best medical care possible.

My only problem was that I couldn't drive to my doctors' appointments and I didn't want my husband to keep missing work to drive me. Three days after I explained this to my parents, a check came from them with a note saying this was "taxi money". Several months later another check showed up from my brother to help make up our income since I wasn't able to work. It probably goes without saying that I was extremely grateful to have family members who could and would support me during the hard time.

In terms of my day-to-day existence, I live in a village within Los Angeles called Brentwood so I was able to walk to the local post office, market, bank, and library. But once there, I had to depend on the kindness of strangers to help me. Los Angeles is a big city, but I lived in a village with a wonderful community (社区) of people who were kind and patient.

Slowly I became well. Life was good again and I thought I had a clear understanding of the blessings (恩惠) this illness has provided.

1.When the author's husband was at home, he __________.

2.Why did the author not want her husband to drive her to her doctors' appointments?

3.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

4.What did the author feel about Brentwood?

You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.

When they came to school in September, the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics? Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. '' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.

After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. ''

The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A ''bias'' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.

1.What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su?

A.They were excited. B.They were amazed.

C.They were worried. D.They were interested.

2.Why is Miss Su considered to be ''pretty extraordinary''?

A.She is an excellent P. E. teacher.

B.She was finally removed.

C.She really cared about her students.

D.The headmaster was proved to be wrong.

3.The examples are given in the last paragraph to show　　　 .

A.tall men are usually excellent B.people are often judged with bias

C.opinions should be based on facts D.women lack leadership skills

4.What's the author's attitude towards the bias?

A.Disagreeable. B.Acceptable.

C.Careless. D.Curious.
