How to Keep Healthy

Modern society provides people with better living conditions.However,its fast pace also gives people much more pressure than before.In order to have a good-quality life,keeping healthy is very important.

Eating and sleeping well are the basic conditions of keeping healthy.A balanced diet that makes a good combination of water,vegetables and meat can provide the body with the necessary nutrition.Having three meals a day at the fixed time is also important,which supplies the body with energy in time.For an adult,sleeping for around seven or eight hours per day will refresh him and help him concentrate. Children,of course,usuany need more time to sleep.Too much sleep debt can be very harmful to one's health and easily lead to diseases.

Doing sports regularly is also an essential part for good health.Proper exercise can help people to have a strong body,reducing the chances of having illness.Especially for those people who have to work in front of computers,taking a proper amount of exercise will keep them fit and away from physical diseases. Mso,sports may be the healthiest way of losing weight and keeping slim.) 解析:

二、Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(总题数:1,分数:70.00)

\"This job is killing me!\" That statement may seem to be an exaggeration, but in looking closely at the work environment, it has become apparent there is a serious problem affecting the productivity of organizations. This problem has been coined \"professional suicide\by a company which was among the first to become aware of the problem.

Professional suicide, a widespread but rarely studied phenomenon is costing companies not only dollars and cents, but the talents and skills of many bright and creative key employees. The

syndrome (症状) affects the talented hard-driving employees with strong accomplishment needs.

Those who are most likely to be affected are good employees who constantly operate in a crisis situation because of management's lack of planning or leadership. These initially

highly-motivated employees begin the suicidal process within three to five years after developing a solid record within the organization. The despair of not achieving what they want in what seems by now to be an absolutely hopeless situation has begun to influence their self-confidence. These upwardly mobile employees suddenly reverse course. Their work begins to become worse. They lose interest and fail to keep up with new on-the-job developments. They develop physical complaints and seem unable to change this downward trend. Sometimes they take another job beneath their capabilities. Many times they do things they surely know they will be fired for doing. In short, in many ways they rapidly and illogically destroy their careers and sometimes themselves.

What causes this apparent self-destruction? It is the result of a battle between specific characteristics of both the individual and the organizational environment. In the individual, problems have arisen in the satisfaction of basic needs common to all human beings. These basic needs described by Maslow as the \"Hierarchy (等级) of Human Needs\" are recognition and a sense of self-respect, growth and development, a sense of purpose and a structure from which to view the world. When people are unable to meet these needs in the organization, they leave or become inefficient because they're frustrated.

A frequent cause of professional suicide is that the behavior required for survival demands unacceptable violations of a person's values. Not being able to be totally frank with individuals on projects is one example. On projects, the rule is that team effort is expected, but in the end, individuals aren't rewarded—the team is king. If an individual works only in team efforts, they will seldom receive individual recognition. This lack of individual recognition begins to affect their egos and self-respect.

If the way to survive in an organization requires individuals to lie or to be deceptive, they will either avoid doing what it takes to get ahead in that organization, or do what it takes and feel guilty when they survive and progress. The degree to which the situation degrades, devalues, or shames the person is highly individual.

The organizational characteristics that create professional suicide are in direct opposition to basic individual needs. These characteristics become obvious by management's lack of setting specific goals and objectives or the \"rules of the game\" are confusing. Evaluation, feedback and individual performance reviews are carelessly managed or ineffective. Reward systems based on organizational resuks are non- existent or poorly defined. Anxiety, competition and guilt, rather than a reward system are used as motivators.

This lack of clear communication provides a powerful scapegoat (替罪羊) for managerial incompetence. If employees in lower positions get into trouble when tasks were poorly defined, they take the blame, after all, they were told—albeit the communication was confusing. Dr. Donald W. Cole, author of Professional Suicide, a Survival Kit for You and Your Job (1981, McGraw-Hill) conducted a study of corporate life. The style of corporate leadership he identified as necessary for keeping people healthy and productive offered a clear vision for the future—engage the employees in goal setting and planning; provide performance evaluations on a regular basis along with recognition and rewards. This style of management may seem self-evident as a good one, but it has proven remarkably difficult to convince many companies to implement it.

It has long been known that people need to have a sense of direction. People need to have the security to anticipate what is going to occur as a result of the actions they plan to take or have taken. They need to know if what they are doing is important and valued. And finally, they want to have a sense of belonging to an organization that provides opportunity for growth and development.

When management doesn't provide adequate information for employees to anticipate probable outcomes, anxiety follows. Employees need to have feedback to stimulate growth and development. Without feedback, people begin assuming the worst and the anxiety that results from it leads to reactive behavior, which is actually a protective response. This protective behavior occurs so the employee can survive in what she/he perceives as an unfriendly environment.

Thus, the once bright and creative employee retires in place merely making no progress until official retirement. The cycle of productive decay is the deterioration (恶化) of the very skills companies need to stop the circle of productivity loss. These employees figuratively and literally get into a cycle of personal and professional suicide.

The threat posed by professional suicide to the employee and its equally dangerous threat to the organization is obvious—individuals lose their careers and the organization not only loses its

best employees, but also leads to the expense of replacing them, which is estimated to be approximately $60,000 per person. In some organizations, this could mean the difference between success and failure.

In order to prevent employees and the organizational structure from the suicidal cycle, hiring practices need to look for managers and leaders with vision and the ability to set goals and define a purpose. Communication, feedback, support and encouragement provide a sense of personal worth and freedom from working overload.

五、Section B(总题数:3,分数:70.00)

Passage One

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. Passage One

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.(分数:21.00) (1).A. To make a TV advertisement for the air company. B. To show the advantages of traveling by plane. C. To inform how to keep the plane environment clean.

D. To inform air passengers of their safeness from flu virus.(分数:7.00)

A. B. C. D. √

解析:[解析] 26-28

Most of the Americans are worrying about catching the flu virus while traveling on the plane.First thing people should know is that the two expert agencies,WHO—the World Health Organization and CDC—Centers for Disease Control,have reviewed the environment in planes.Neither have recommended any restrictions whatsoever on travel.The air in a cabin of an airplane is better,more improved,because of hospital—grade air—cleaning machines and side by side circulation.Such kind of equipment and environment is in the vast majority of punic buildings in the United States including schools and offices. So don't be concerned about getting on an airplane.We have hands sanitizers and soap in the lavatories on aU of our planes,and we encourage people,as others do,to wash their hands frequently and cover their mouths when they cough.Besides,they were encouraged to take just everyday common—sense protections that their parents would tell them when they were going to sch001.The real key here I think is for all citizens to understand that if you don't feel well,stay at home,whether it's school,whether it's workplace, whether it's travel,just stay at home.Self-policing can do more to prevent the spread of this disease than almost anything.

(3).A. Using hand sanitizers and soaps in lavatories. B. Covering your mouth when you are coughing.

解析:[解析] 29-31

Universal Exposition or Expo(short for“exposition”),also known as the World Fair and World's Fair, is the name given to various large public exhibitions held in different parts of the world.The first Expo was held in the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park,London,in 185 l under the title“Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations”. “The Great Exhibition”. as it is often called,was an idea of the British Queen’s husband,and was the first international exhibition of manufactured products.As such,it influenced the development of several aspects of society including art and design education,international trade and relations,and even tourism.Also,it set an example for many international exhibitions,later called “World's Fairs”,which were subsequently held to the present day.

The main attractions at World's Fairs are the national halls,created by participating countries.At Expo 2000,where countries created their own architecture,the average investment was around$13 million.Given these costs,governments are sometimes skeptical about participation as benefits are often assumed not to outweigh the costs.Real effects are difIicult to measure.However,an independent study for the Dutch hall at Expo 2000,which cost around $35 million,generated around$350 million of potential income for the Dutch economy.It also identified several key success factors for world exposition halls in general. 29.What did the first Expo exhibit?

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. Passage Three

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.(分数:28.00) (1).A. Money can only influence responses to emotional pain. B. Money can only influence responses to physical pain.

C. Money can hardly influence responses to emotional or physical pain.

D. Money can influence responses to both emotional and physical pain.(分数:7.00) A. B. C. D. √

解析:[解析] 32-35

Wonder why some wealthy people seem so remote? How about this for an answer? A series of studies published in Psychological Science found that money can influence responses to both emotional and physical pain.The researchers found that handling physical money makes a person less sensitive to physical pain and reduces the distress of being excluded in social situations.In other words,wealth makes you as hard and cold as steel.Or so the study says.However,the ways the studies were carried out were quite odd.

For one of the tests,test subjects were told to count out a stack of 100 dollar bills or slips of blank papea and then immerse their hands in hot water.Those who handled the money reported less pain than those who handled slips ofblank paper.In another, a group of students counted the stack of 100 dollar bills or slips of blank paper,and then played a computer game involving a ball toss with three other players online.Some of the players were excluded from the ball toss during the game.Those who handled the money felt little or no distress at being excluded,while those who handled paper felt lower self-respect.

“Acquired symbolic value of money,perhaps because of associations with power or control,can influence responses to both emotional and physical pain,”writes Harriet de Wit,a professor at the University of Chicago.“Conversely,thoughts of loss in money may enhance physical or psychological pain.”

九、Section B(总题数:2,分数:90.00)

Passage One

College is a time for leaving the comfort and security of home and embarking (开始) on the journey to adulthood. Many universities and colleges require a student to live on campus at least during their freshman year.

Recent studies have shown that students living on campus are more likely to complete their education program. The reason for this is that students living on campus feel more connected to the college and the people. They tend to invest more time in their classroom studies as well as campus life. Living on campus also allows one to meet and interact with a wide variety of people. People from all over the world will attend a quality college and university so you will be exposed to new cultures and learn much from them. As well, you will make long lasting friends and have support during times when you may feel homesick. Living on campus helps ease any anxieties associated with the transition from home to college. Not only does living on campus give you easy and quick access to classes, but you will also be able to interact with people living in your dorm and take part in the social gatherings and parties.

Living on campus will give you the ability to take part in many clubs and organizations. This can include organizations that focus on education, cultural diversity, gender issues,

recreational (娱乐 的) activities, spiritual activities, political clubs, sports activities, and

much more. The convenience of living on campus makes it more likely that you will participate in clubs and other organizations. As well, the convenience allows you to attend other facilities such as night time labs, night time classes, the library, and the fitness center. Most colleges also have various college sports teams that one can try out for. It is also helpful to be near the college health center, dining halls, and student information resources.

Campus life is a unique experience that one should take full advantage of before they actually get out in the work world where they will have their whole lives to be fully independent.

Born without sight, 7-year-old Lucas Murray used to be so afraid of walking that he wouldn't take a step without his parents. He wouldn't walk on a bumpy surface.

But now, Lucas has become more mobile than his parents ever imagined, running with friends, playing basketball and jumping on a trampoline (蹦床)—all on his own.

The incredible change is owed to a technique called echolocation, similar to the method used by dolphins and bats, that allows Lucas to paint a picture of his surroundings using the sound he creates himself.

To \"see\" the world around him, he dicks his tongue and listens to the echo that bounces back. From the sound, he can make out the location, depth and shape of objects around him, allowing him to navigate (导航) even unfamiliar areas.

Though it's estimated that only about 5% to 10% of the blind population now uses a sonar (声呐系 统)-type approach, the Murrays hope it could someday become as common as the cane. Two years ago, Daniel Kish, a blind psychologist who has practiced the technique since childhood and has been teaching it for more than 15 years, traveled to the Murrays' hometown and worked with Lucas for four days, teaching him not just echolocation, but also convincing Lucas and his parents that blindness doesfft need to be a limiting condition.

\"You have to let go, and it's the hardest thing in the world;' said Sarah Murray. When Kish suggested the family let Lucas walk along the shore on his own, she said, \"It was frightening. And Lucas found it frightening too:\"

But after the family overcame the initial fear, Lucas made rapid progress.

He learned how to detect different-sized bowls and cardboard panels by clicking to navigating grocery stores entirely on his own. In addition to clicking, Lucas also uses a white cane to find his way.

\"He likes exploring things, and he likes climbing things\" his mother said. \"He'll go up the elevator. That wouldn't have been believable in a million years:' She said the technique is second nature to him now.

(分数:45.00)

(1).To use the echolocation technique, Lucas has to learn how to ______. A. walk on a bumpy road

B. draw pictures of things around C. make sounds and respond to them

D. copy the sounds of bats or dolphins(分数:9.00) A. B. C. √ D.

解析:[解析] [考点] 细节题

原文第四段提到Lucas为了“看见”周围的世界,他用自己的舌头发出声音,再听回音,以此来辨别周围物体的地点、深度和形状。与选项C的意思完全一致,所以选C。

(2).The unbelievable change that happened to Lucas is due to many factors EXCEPT ______. A. Daniel Kish's help

B. his parents' encouragement

C. sufficient outdoor physical exercises

D. his willingness to make constant efforts(分数:9.00) A. B. C. √ D.

解析:[解析] [考点] 细节题

原文第六段提到Daniel Kish来到Lucas的家乡,教他如何回音定位,还告诉他失明并不是一个条件。Daniel Kish还教他在海边行走,他的家人排除恐惧感之后,Lucas也排除了恐惧感,取得了很大进步。这些与Lucas的父母和他自己的努力部是分不开的。采用排除法,所以选C。 (3).It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. it is only human nature to imitate the animal behavior

B. by using the echolocation, Lucas' action will no longer be limited

C. Daniel Kish helped Lucas with the sonar-type approach because he is blind too

D. the hardest thing to learn something new is the fear to take the first step(分数:9.00) A. B. C. D. √

解析:[解析] [考点] 推断题
