Read the following passages and do the questions below: (30%)Passage OneMr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to ask his doctor. The doctor advises a change of the place where he lives. “Go abroad,”he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,”said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter, said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to become thinner. Avoid rich food.”Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The teacher made him bend his knees, wave his arms, and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs one after another. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the problems in his business and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice small trees and small birds.Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a business man again, worried about his money, his work, his savings, his raising of level in a technological society, and things in general.41.Mr. Smith went to see his doctor because he ______.A.had little to eatB.was seriously illC.was afraid of sleeping at nightD.didn’t feel well42.The doctor advises Mr. Smith to do all the following except ______.A.talk lessB.change the surroundingsC.eat food of good qualityD.take plenty of exercise43.

In the last paragraph, the word ―temporary‖ means ________ .sting for a short timeB.not deepC.unimportantD.developing very slowlyPassage TwoCancer is among the top killer disease in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it out. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do something about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (休闲) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations (失意) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath (愤怒)”is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religions.46.Which from the following statements is true?A.Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress.B.Stress is the direct cause of cancer.C.Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.D.The causes of stress are worthy of serious study.47.According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer fromstress?A.

Changing our job.B. Reading the bible.C.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.D.Speaking out about our frustrations50.What does ―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath‖ probably mean?A. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.B.Don’t get angry easily about little thing.C.Don’t let your anger last long.D.Don’t get angry while the sun is going down.Passage ThreeI was born in the city of York, in England, in the year 1632.
