Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son?s soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to 50 some personal matters, have broader physical health benefits 51 making you feel a bit less tired?

According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000 people, 52 from the U.K.'s Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules — when employees can 53 their starting times, for example — were associated with improvements in a person?s overall health. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for 54 effects of more flexible work schedules.

This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options, which are increasingly 55 throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. 56 , last April, the British government 57 a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger. In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to 58 in workplace flexibility — as companies 59 to reward employees with bonuses(奖金) or raises may 60 other forms of compensation(补偿), Reuters reported early last year.

Previous research too, of course, has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed 61 between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly 62 the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide 63 of workers —from high-ranking executives to hourly employees — is 64 , which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.

Nothing seems more inevitable than aging and death ---- not even taxes. Every plant, animal and person you have ever seen will ____50____ die. But some recent research suggests that aging as we know it may not be inevitable. Indeed, as our ____51____ of it grows, aging can be seen not as an unchangeable reality from which there is no escape, but as the product of biological processes that we may be able to ____52____ someday.

We already know that some animals do not seem to age. Many cold-water ocean fish and some amphibians (两栖动物) never ____53____ a fixed size; they continue to grow bigger, to be able to reproduce and to live until something kills them. What these ____54____ seem to be telling us is that something in their genes ---- and possibly in ours ---- controls the ____55____ of aging, and that aging is not the fate of every living thing.

____56____ the history of life on earth, one of the most common difficulties that animals ( and their cells) have faced has been a lack of food. About 70 years ago, scientists discovered that when animals are forced to live on 30 to 40 percent fewer calories ( 卡路里) than they would ____57____ eat, something unusual happens: they become ____58____ to most age-related diseases ---- cancer, heart disease, diabetes(糖尿病) ---- and live 30 to 50 percent longer. Restricting calories ____59____ aging. But what are the ____60____ genes that preserve vitality( 生命力) and starve off diseases?

About 15 years ago, armed with powerful new molecular-research techniques, a few scientists began to ____61____ these genetic phenomena. They have discovered that a gene called Sir2 ---- which is present in all animals, including humans ---- is ____62____ for the health benefits of calorie restriction, perhaps by repairing our DNA. But if we had to restrict our calorie intake by 30 to 40 percent, would it be of any ____63____ use? Few of us would be capable of restricting our diets so severely that we were constantly ____64____ : whether or not it made life longer, it would surely make life feel longer.

For most of us, success in school has very little to do with actual learning.The most important thing you have to master is how to play the grade games. 50 you think out your own strategies for getting high marks, everything opens up to you.You may be 51 to a well-known college or win scholarship, not to mention gaining the admiration of your teachers and parents.

The results were ___59___.

Over the following months, assisted only by ___60___, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their starting points to their faraway destinations. Every time a robot got ___61___by obstacles on the road, some passer-by would always rescue it and send it towards its goal. The Tweenbots were ___62___ lost or damaged.

In this test the Tweenbots were ___63___ primarily by human?s sympathy for an anthropomorphized (人格化的) object.

An experiment shows that a type of human behavior is conformity, which may be defined as a willingness to adopt the same behavior and attitudes as those seen in other people.

In order to experience a sense of belongings to a particular group, an individual may willingly 50 the group?s values and behavior. Often, however, an individual will conform to the behavior of those around him even when they are total 51 .

I was a rotten teenager, sharp-tongued and eager to control others. At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today?s hottest soap opera could not have created a 50 character than me.

I don?t know how long it took me to realize how I was 51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.

My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 he r doctor?s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don?t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”

My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn?t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.

Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother?s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter?s rebirth of life.

61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”

62 love is the most precious gift we can give. Being 63 for the past is the most precious gift we can receive. I want to 64 the gift my mother gave m e to all the “rotten teenagers” in the world.

For busy people, the idea of speed dating has really caught on in popularity. In a speed dating event, usually 8-10 _50_ go around from table to table, each spending 6-8 minutes at each one. From that, you may not know for sure if you want to _51_ something more with an individual, but, you will _52_ know if you don't want to.

The first thing that you will realize about speed dating is that it makes you _53_. Unlike a bar, where you might get a whole evening to __54__ check a potential partner out and to see what they've got, when it comes to _55_, you know that you only have a certain amount of time to put your best foot forward(全力以赴)there. You'll find the other participants are _56_ of this and will put their best foot forward.

An 8-minute speed dating will also give you a chance to see how someone _57_ under pressure. You may already know a little more about their _58_ if you find someone who can't seem to make eye-contact. The best advice is to make eye contact, be open and direct. You'll find that the _59_ time can make for some excellent opportunities to really shine, and there's nothing like a deadline to make you more _60_! An important detail to keep in mind is that you will be _61_ to a dozen or more singles in a short time. Those who feel that there is an advantage in larger numbers will surely find this _62_.

When you are looking for _63_, you may not want to do the long search, so think about speed dating and see what you can do to make sure that it works for you. _64_, give this exciting opportunity a try!

S ome personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one?s intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.

The so-called …non-intelligence factors? include one?s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year study, American psychologists 50 that the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence 51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.

52 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don?t pay much attention to 53 these factors .

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, or laziness, but they never take into 54 these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don?t inquire into reasons why students do 55 . They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 56 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 57 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray(堕落)because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 58 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .

It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students .

If we don?t start now to 61 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 62 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 63 about how to cultivate students? non-intelligence factors. Parents and teachers should 64 understand teenage psychology . On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.

It took brave European explorers less than 300 years, between 1420 and 1713, to establish that all the seas of the world formed an enormous and continuous ocean. This discovery encouraged them to 50 into areas which had n?t been charted until then. With the discovery of new lands, new trade routes were 51 . In many parts of the world, colonies and settlements were established and many odd-looking products were brought back to 52 , arousing great interest and 53 wealth.

It was probably the irresistible desire for wealth which 54 persuaded Europeans of the fifteenth century to 55 their legendary dangers and explore further out into the open seas. They were also 56 by the love for their country. Many explorers wanted to serve their king and country as well as gain personal 57 from their exploring.

The most effective way of gaining wealth was through 58 . Silk, gold, silver and 59 stones, and more importantly spices, such as gingers and peppers, were the most profitable trade goods in Europe. Spices were of the greatest 60 because they enabled the Europeans to make their winter diet of salted meat more delicious. These items were 61 mostly from the East by a difficult overland route. The Italian 62 , who bought goods from the Arabs of Alexandria, controlled the trade along this route. Other countries of the Mediterranean 63 the wealth which this trade generated and they were 64 to discover new routes which would allow them to share in it.

Have you ever felt trapped in a job you hate? 50 you are ready to move forward and find a more fulfilling position, career transition(过渡;变迁) specialist Gregg Taylor has a few 51 to help deal with the emotional side of 52 your job.

When writing your resignation letter keep it short and to the point. Express your gratitude for the 53 and state your resignation date. “You don?t need to tell them much,”says Taylor. “Keep thing as simple as possible, and as quiet as possible.”

Keep the details to yourself. It will lessen any tension from the time you 54 in your resignation letter until the day you leave. 55 , be sure to complete any 56 you are working on. This is just good 57 and common sense for everybody, 58 if you plan on asking for a reference. Use up any 59 vacation time and sick days.

Timing and location are key. Taylor suggests booking a conference room to break the news to your boss. A neutral 60 will give you a better chance of 61 your boss? reaction. Taylor also suggests conducting the meeting in the morning, early in week. This gives your boss time to 62 from the news.

Give your employer appropriate notice. “They may not be 63 about your leaving, but they will 64 being given enough notice to find your replacement and for you to assist in training the new person,”says Taylor.

Several times throughout your school years, you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. 50 is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few 51 need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful learning experience.

What comes first is to keep a(n) 52 mind, because every member is equally important and everyone?s ideas should be taken into consideration. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a 53 on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths, so that you can perform best. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual (相互的) support and trust often make a great difference.

Activities like investigations are most 54 when done by small groups. Here are some more 55 for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the 56 , and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do, take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be

57 your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.

When there is 58 to be done, divide the task into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very 59 way, which can make your research work more fruitful. You are encouraged to keep records of the 60 used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen 61 . A format (规范) for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily

62 . When the time comes to 63 on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group, and most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise (折中) and agreement.

After you?ve completed a task with your team, make an 64 of the team?s effectiveness —the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.

When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 50 , one that involves the habitats(栖息地) and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being taken to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until humans 51 the natural environments where endangered species live. There are many reasons why a particular species may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.

Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be altered and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a 52 pace, usually causing only a slight 53 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or no time for individual species to 54 and adjust to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment. The strongest 55 in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human activity, particularly during this past century. The loss of microbes (微生物) in soils that 56 supported tropical forests, the 57 of fish and various aquatic species

in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 58 of greenhouse gases are all results of human activity.

It can be difficult for an individual to 59 the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. But it is quite 60 that human activity has greatly 61 to species endangerment. 62 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and healthy, they are 63 highly susceptible (易受影响的)to destruction. This is because the soils in which they grow 64 nutrients. It may take centuries to re-grow a forest that was cut down by humans or destroyed by fire, and many of the world’s severely threatened animals and pl ants live in these forests. If the current rate of forest loss continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.

The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people's and nation's wants.

The problem we faced with is that our resources, here identified as money are __50__. The only way we can solve the problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of __51__ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and __52__ we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics---deciding how to allocate(分配) our limited resources to provide __53__ with greatest satisfaction of our wants.

Nations face the same problem. As a country's population __54__, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly. Resources necessary to production may increase, but there are __55__ enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation. Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation __56__ of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists. We need to find __57__ of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.

A short time ago, economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic. The former, like air and water, were in __58__ abundance(丰富) that economists had no concern for them. After all, economics is the __59__ of scarcity and what to do about it. Today many of these "free goods" are __60__ very expensive to use. Population has made clean air and water expensive for producers extra cost, and __61__ taxpayers who pay for the government's involvement in cleaning the environment.

In the 1990s, almost all goods are __62__. Only by effort and money __63__ obtained in the from people wish.

Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available __64__ the basic activity of production. In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.

People often fall ill because of me. However, they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own 50 . A tired person may get caught, especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in 51 is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily.

My latest victim is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 52 , he still went to the cinema. Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately.

I seized this golden chance to 53 him. He reacted, trying to 54 me, but I was already 55 deep in his throat.

The next day he couldn?t go to school. He had lost his appetite and was not as 58 as before. His mother made him orange juice every few hours for more vitamin C, which would help his 59 .

For two days he was nursed by his mother. As he rested more, his defense strengthened and I began to feel the 60 . I knew I had to 61 him before long. But I am not the one who gives up easily, and I made every effort to fight back. 62 , it was my turn to feel 63 now, for his defense system was starting an all-out attack against me.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could __50__ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he __51__ in class. When I took the first exam, I was __52__ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained __53__.

I decided to try harder, although I didn?t know what that means __54__ school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I __55__ with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened __56__ but wouldn?t change his mind.

One more test before the final exam. One more __57__ to improve my grade. So I redoubled my eff orts and, for the first time, learned the meaning of the word “ 58 ”. But my __59__ did no good and everything went as before.

The last hurdle was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn?t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the __60__ goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even __61__ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I?d have fun with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got a n A. I hurried into Professor Jayne?s office. He __62__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the grade as you expected, you wouldn?t continue to work as hard.”

I stared at him, __63__ that his analysis and strategy were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.

I was __64__ when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I?ve always remembered Professor Jayne?s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being 50 all the time: if corrected too much, he will 51 talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference 52 the language he uses and the language around him. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language 53 other people?s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being 54 -to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more 55 people, and 56 make the needed changes.

But in school we never give a child a (n) 57 to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would 58 notice a mistake 59 it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying 60 doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it 61 be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waster time on 62 routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can?t find the 63 to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all 65 persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题,概括起来有以下三方面: 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意,并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断,导致理解上出现偏差,甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响,对文意分析不透,忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理,以至做题时处于应付状态,做题能力得不到提高。 那么,怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢?我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧:抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合,明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面,跨好三大步,做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下,完形填空短文都不给标题,不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格,这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口,而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔,所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示,克服不良心理的影响,满怀信心,全神贯注,目光越过空格,注意能体现文章大意的关键词句,尽力从整体上理解短文大意,这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空,势必无法从整体上把握全文概要,无法形成连贯的思路,只见树木不见森林,理解偏离文章的中心,造成顾,此失彼的错误,甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后,我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断,往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强,容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后,应逐句精读短文,逐题分析选项,对特定的语境做深人的理解,克服“定势思维”,根据全文大意和词不离句,句不离文的原则,逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题,而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意,理解到位,我们应做到以下几点: 1.从上下文的角度考虑,注意其内在联系。就题论题,断章取义,忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示,找准突破口,确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑,准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多,必须结合上下文把握文意,研读

高考英语完形填空解题技巧专项训练

高考完形填空解题技巧 (I) 完形填空是全国各地高考英语必考题型之一,占20分。题型特征是:一篇短文中间留20 个空格,每个空格给出4个选项,要求从中选出最佳答案填入相应的空格内。由于这种题型既考查学生的语法、词法、句法、习惯用法等英语基础知识的综合运用能力,又考查他们对短文的阅读和理解能力。这种题型综合性较强,因而难度较大。总的来说,完形填空为了测试考生实际应用英语的能力和语感。具体说来,是从语篇角度综合测试考生的阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。因此,本文我就考试出题的三个方向、考试题型和具体解题技巧做了详细阐述: 一、考试出题的大致方向是: 1、词汇:某些词义的识别,同义词辨析。英语习惯用法的熟悉程度。 2、语法结构:语法规则的实际应用。 3、语篇句意:从语篇角度,即上下文和情景语境综合测试考生的阅读理解能力 4. 逻辑推理和生活常识 二、考试题型: (一)词汇题: 单纯地考单词或短语的释义: 1.There can be no question about the value of a safety program. From a financial standpoint alone, safety ____. (‘99) A. comes off B. turns up C. pays off D. holds up 答案:C. 词汇辨析题: 主要是指同义词、近义词的辨析,这类题较难。 2.They are needed for ____ food into energy and body maintenance. (‘96) A. shifting B. transferring C. altering D. transforming 答案:D. 固定短语搭配题: 3.With it, astronauts will acquire a workhouse vehicle ____ of flyingsintosspace and returning many times. (‘92) A. capable B. suitable C. efficient D. fit 答案:A. (二)语法题: 语法结构题,主要是考结构词:代词、介词和从句连接词。 4.Moreover, inaccurate or indefinite words may make ____ difficult for the listener to understand the message which is being transmitted to him. (’94) A. that B. it C. so D. this答案:B. (三)语篇题: 文章的上下文决定所缺处所选择的词.这一考点要求学生根据文章的整体内容进行理解,根据层次结构和内容的逻辑关系,去选择符合文章情节的答案,这也叫情景意义的选择. 5.Getting enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for excess vitamins. Many people ____ believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins. (96) A. nevertheless B. therefore C. moreover D. meanwhile
