Preparing for Computer Disasters
A) Summary: When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward.
B) Fires, power surges, and floods, they're all facts of life. We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news. We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck. We also shake our heads at the digital consequences—melted computers, system failures, destroyed data.
Yet, somehow, many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial: "It won't happen to me." Well, the truth is, at some point
you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. That's just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldn't be. Home computers contain some of our
most important information, both business and personal, and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority. Moreover, even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption. Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household. We use them to communicate, shop, and do homework, and they're even more vital to home office users. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools, you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters. And, should a major calamity strike, you can rest assured your data is safe.
Offsite Storage: Major Disasters
C) House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction. That's why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully back up their hard drives, many would still lose all their data should their house flood our burn. That's because they keep their backups in
relatively close to their computers. Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers—tucked away in a closet or even the garage—but they're not nearly far enough away should a serious
disaster strike. So, it's important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere.
D) There are many ways to approach offsite storage. It starts with choice of backup tools and storage medium. Disaster situations are stressful, and your recovery tools shouldn't add to that stress. They must be dependable and intuitive, making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a
pinch. They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium. Depending on your tools, you can back up to a variety of durable disk types—
from CDs to Jaz drives to remote network servers. Although many of these storage media have high capacity, a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus, eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads.
E) Once you select your tools and a suitable medium, you need to
find a remote place to store your backups. The options are endless. However, no matter where you choose, be sure the site is secure, easily accessible, and a good distance away from your home. You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service. More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers, and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive
alternative to conventional offsite storage. Of course, before using one of these services, make certain you completely trust the service provider and its security methods. Whatever you do, schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home.
Come What May: Handling the Garden Variety Computer Crisis
F) Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster. Many less menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information. Systems crash, kids "rearrange" data, adults inadvertently delete files. Although these events might not seem calamitous, they can have serious implications. So, once again, it's important to be prepared. As with physical disasters, regular backups are essential. However, some of these smaller issues require a response that's more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster, your tool set must be both powerful and agile. For example, when a small number of files are compromised, you may want to retrieve those files alone. Meanwhile, if just your settings are affected, you'll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup. Yet, should your operating system fail, you'll need a way to boot your computer and perform large-scale recovery. Computer crises come in all shapes and sizes, and your backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to meet each challenge.
The Right Tools for the Right Job: Gearing up for Disaster
G) When disaster strikes, the quality of your backup tools can make the difference between utter frustration and peace of mind. Symantec understands this and offers a range of top quality backup and recovery solutions. Norton GoBack is the perfect tool for random system crashes, failed installations, and inadvertent deletions. With this powerful and convenient solution, it's simple to retrieve overwritten files or to bring your system back to its pre-crash state. Norton Ghost is a time-
tested home office solution. Equipped to handle full-scale backups, it's also handy for cloning hard drives and facilitating system upgrades. A favorite choice for IT professionals, it's the ideal tool for the burgeoning home office. You can buy Norton Ghost and Norton GoBack separately, or get them both when you purchase Norton System Works.
H) Life's disasters, large and small, often catch us by surprise. However, with a little planning and the right tools, you can reduce those disasters to bumps
in the road. So, don't wait another day. Buy a good set of disaster recovery tools, set up an automatic backup schedule, and perform a dry run every now and again. Then, rest easy.

2016年经典励志语录二
你一定要坚强，即使受过伤，流过泪，也能咬牙走下去。因为，人生，就是你一个人的人生。
竹子用了4年时间，仅仅长了3cm，从第五年开始，以每天30cm的速度疯狂的生长，仅仅用了六周时间就长到了15米。其实在前面的四年，竹子将根在土壤里延伸了数百平米。做人做事亦是如此，不要担心你此时的付出得不到回报，因为这些付出都是为了扎根。人生需要储备!多少人，没熬过那三厘米!
能够比跌倒的次数多一次站起来的次数，你就是强者!
开始，去做，这是最难的一步。往往，突破了最难的一步以后，或者说，破除了想像中的困难以外，其他的事，可能反而容易。尤其有些事情，上瘾以后，形成习惯，不继续反而不舒服。再好的方法，对于彻底的、不想上进的懒人是无效的，但既然，生命是属于自己的，愿意行动与否，也还是自己的事。
成功与不成功之间，有时距离是很短的，你只要后退一步或再向前几步。想得再多不如行动一次;说得再好不如立刻就做!人与人的距离是说与做的差别;人与人的差别是信与愿的有无!凡事实行则无瑕忧虑，空想则寸步难行。无论要做什么立刻行动!马上行动!开始行动!
做一件事情，只有最初五分钟热情的，叫失败者;最后五分钟仍有热情的，叫成功者。
当你周围都是米的时候，你很安逸;当有一天米缸见底，才发现想跳出去已无能为力。有一种陷阱，名叫安逸!别在最能吃苦的年纪选择安逸!没有危机!是最大的危机!自己不上进，危机无处不在吞噬你的理想和灵魂，混下去很容易，混上去太难了!
为什么成功的不是你。年轻的你，迷茫又着急。你想要房子想要汽车，想要旅行想要高品质生活。你不断催促自己成长，却沉不下心来认真读一篇文章;你急切地期待成功，却每次在遇到挫折时提前退缩。既然没有过那些汗水和拼搏，又何必在旁观别人的荣耀与成功时愤愤不平呢?所以，努力吧，别抱怨。如果你要做一件事，请只管安安静静的去做。因为那是你自己的事，别人不知道你的情况，也不可
能帮你实现梦想。千万不要因为虚荣心而炫耀，也不要因为别人一句评价放弃自己的梦想。其实最好的状态，是坚持自己的梦想，听听前辈的建议，少错几步。值不值，时间是最好的证明。你可以没有梦想，但不能不知道现在要做什么，你可以长相平凡丢到人群里就被淹没，但不能随波逐流成为没有个性的复制品，你可以被压力逼迫得痛
哭一百次，但哭完记得笑一千次给它看，你可以习惯为别人付出，但至少别忘了为自己而活，你可以学会假装，但最后不要变成你当初讨厌的那种人。你比你想象中更勇敢，比你看起来更强大，也比你以为的更聪明。
2016年经典励志语录三
1、如果真的想活得悠闲，那么，为何不学着让自己释放心灵的重负，学着忘却，忘记那些无碍于个人原则的得失;无关大局的磕磕碰碰;无伤大雅的前嫌旧隙呢?学会让自己时时都轻装上阵，潇洒前行!
2、人格的完善是本，财富的确立是末。
3、古人云“隐忍不怒的人，胜于勇者”、“修己冶心的人胜于攻城掠地的将领”。生活中，宽容可以减少人与人之间的隔阂，可以让大家更好地沟通，彼此多一些体贴和关怀。
4、“一个人不能骑两匹马，骑上这匹，就要丢掉那匹，聪明人会把凡是分散
精力的要求置之度外。”人的生命和精力是有限的，我们要学会将聚光镜一样，排除一切琐事的干扰，将所有的资料、精力、热情聚焦并锁定你的目标上。
5、一个能从别人的观念来看事情，能了解别人心灵活动的人，永远不必为自
己的前途担心。一个人最大的破产是绝望，最大的资产是希望。不要等待机会，而要创造机会。
6、喜欢的最高境界是你可能为她去死，可爱的最高境界是你得为你爱的人好
好活着。
7、如果人生需要一个完美的符号，没有比微笑更合适的了。微笑，它是甜美的歌声，能唱出生活的快乐;它是温暖的阳光，能驱散心头的阴影;它是无边的春风，能蓬勃事业的生机。
8、微笑可以减轻紧张的情绪和压力，不管面对多么愤怒或者冲动得人，只要微笑示之，都能坦然以对，微笑一把神奇的钥匙，可以打开别人心灵的窗户，传递心灵的善意，退一步，海阔天空;退一步，瞒天过海;冲动是魔鬼，只要心平气和静下心来，相对而笑，一切都能化干戈为玉帛。
9、很多人找女朋友或者男朋友，把学历当作指标之一，既希望对方能够给他/她伴侣的温暖与浪漫，又希望他/她知识丰富、学历相当或更高，在事业上能蒸蒸日上;我想说，你找的是伴侣，不是合作伙伴，更不是同事，生活就是生活，这个人适合你，即使你是博士他/她斗大字不识一个，那也无所谓，适合就会和谐融洽，人比文凭更重要
10、听着一首歌，反反复复，琢磨不透，自己在想什么?难道真的爱她么?可为什么说不出口呢，爱情就是买卖，看透就好。痴情的人不会有真爱、让这一切随风，吹到天涯海角。不要再让我见到，对你，既然说不出，那就模模糊糊。或许，这样最好，谁都不会太累。
11、一个能从别人的观念来看事情，能了解别人心灵活动的人，永远不必为自己的前途担心。
12、人要想树立自己的威信，就要不断进行自我完善和修养、严于律己。你要求别人怎么样，首先必须自己先做到那样，身教的效果总比言传更为快捷。严于律己能使自己成为一个最可信赖的人。
13、成功的道路上，肯定会有失败;对于失败，我们要正确地看待和对待，不怕失败者，则必成功;怕失败者，则一无是处，会更失败。
14、选几个自认为能靠得住的人组成良好、稳固、有力的人际关系的核心。这首选的几个人可以包括自己的朋友、家庭成员和那些在你职业生涯中彼此联系紧密的人。他们构成你的影响力内圈，因为他们能让你发挥所长，而且彼此都希望对方成功。
15、我们现在做的工作，也许过于平淡，也许鸡毛蒜皮。但这就是工作，是生活，是成就人事的不可缺少的基础。对于敬业者来说，凡事无小事，简单不等于容易。
16、亲情是一种深度，友情是一种广度，而爱情是一种纯度。亲情是没有条件、不求回报的阳光沐浴，友情是浩荡巨大、可以随时安然栖息的堤岸;而爱情则是神秘无边、可以使歌至到忘情泪至潇洒的心灵照射。人生一世，亲情、友情、爱情;三者缺一，已为遗憾，三者缺二，实为可怜;三者皆缺，活而如亡。
17、如果你心中有阳光，就不会恐惧前方的坎坷;如果你心中有勇气，就不会畏缩不前;无论前方风多大，雨多大，闯过去就是一片海阔天空!孩子别忧伤，生命的美丽就是坚强的走过坎坷!
18、好心没有错，但也要分清是非，不分原则的善良，是“愚善”，就像东郭先生一样。因此，在没有搞清一件事是否值得做之前，要敢于说“不”，不要被他人利用，更不要一不小心成为他人的替罪羊。
19、其实路并没有错，错的是选择，爱并没有错，错的是缘分，所以无论何地，一路的风景总是有限的，终究会有美好的。生命不是一场赛跑，而是一次旅行。
20、什么是嫁得好?嫁得好并不是嫁富豪，而是嫁给一个能给你安全感的男人。住在别墅里天天流泪的，你进的不是天堂而是地狱。真正嫁得好的女人，是住在单元房里却被老公哄的像只傻鸟，爱你一时，宠你一世，骗你一辈子!其实日子过得好，真的不是有多少钱，而是无忧无虑无烦恼。 21、想取得成功，不仅要吃
“苦中苦”，也要相关条件的配合支持，那些光知道吃苦的人，那些吃了不值得吃的苦的人，那些把吃苦当成解决一切问题法宝的人，恐怕只能继续在“苦中苦”的怪圈里徘徊。
22、人往往是失去之后才懂得珍惜，可是为时已晚，即使是哭干眼泪也换不回曾经的拥有。多少人都是这样的感叹:拥有时不知道珍惜，失去时已无可挽回。
23、从不犯错的孩子长大后要么成为庸才，要么早晚要犯大错。因此，我们要适度降低对孩子的期望与要求，鼓励他们真实地面对自己的缺点和错误，鼓励他们在尝试中不怕犯错误，注重过程的体验和收获，摘掉“好孩子”的面具。
24、成功不是将来才有的，而是从决定去做的那一刻起，持续累积而成。
25、人生的最大遗憾莫过于错误地坚持了不该坚持的东西，轻易地放弃了不该放弃的东西，每一个人都有自己的理想，都有那个期望达到的目标，或许有这么一天我恩男狗狗成为一名教师，或许有那么一天我能实现自己的理想，达到自己的目标!生活还在继续!不要忘记微笑的对待每一天，不要忘记珍惜余下的每一天!
26、要始终保持敬畏之心。对时光，对美，对痛楚。仿佛我们的活，也只是一棵春天中洁白花树的简单生涯。不管是竭力盛放，还是静默颓败，都如此甘愿和珍重。
27、我们缺少的不是机遇，而是对机遇的把握;我们缺欠的不是财富，而是创造财富的本领;我们缺乏的不是知识，而是学而不厌的态度;我们缺少的不是理想，而是身体力行的实践。
28、只有一条路不能选择——那就是放弃的路;只有一条路不能拒绝——那就是成长的路。
29、积极的人在每一次忧患中都看到一个机会，而消极的人则在每个机会都看到某种忧患。莫找借口失败，只找理由成功。
30、能够刚正批评、指责我们缺点和错误的人是我们难得的诤友，善意的批评就像是一壶美酒，当我们开怀陶醉在这种朋友同事间畅饮的世界里，批评的因子仿佛蕴藏在每个直观的感觉细胞中。
31、没有人愿意和总是虚伪、圆滑的人打交道，但是一味的诚实，却也容易伤害人。所以，生意人讲究的是大诚实，即在适当的时候，对适当人，说适当的话。如果坦率无忌是一种伤害，那么，请选择机智的“谎言”。
32、只要你有能力去做的事就一定要去做，不要给自己留下任何遗憾，人生最重要的不是所站的位置，而是所朝的方向。路就在你脚下，只要走，就能到达远方。
33、做对的事情比把事情做对重要。
34、生命的奖赏远在旅途终点，而非起点附近。我不知道要走多少步才能达到目标，踏上第一千步的时候，仍然可能遭到失败。但我不会因此放弃，我会坚持不懈，直至成功!
35、以前喜欢一个人，可以任由招之即来，挥之即去。现在喜欢一个人，仍可以招之即来，但不再接受挥之即去。因为我现在知道，我很好，所以你爱我，也只有一次机会。
36、水的心是平静的，水的心是轻灵的，你看，水，一平如镜，云月其中，怡然自乐。水，怀着平静而轻灵的心，缓和的一淌而去，遇一些阻隔且轻轻的绕过，何必那么多计较，心平而轻流自畅;如一路顺直，那更好了，我也可以尽情的奔流，一望千里，波涛澎湃，我也会挥洒我的潇洒，我的纵情。 37、日子不动声色奴役我们疲于奔命，而我们还要为之稽首敛眉。 38、不要等待机会，而要创造机会。
39、没有一种不通过蔑视、忍受和奋斗就可以征服的命运。 40、夫事未有不生于微而成于着，圣人之虑远，故能谨其微而治之，众人之识近，故必待其着而后
救之;治其微则用力寡而功多，就其着则竭力而不能及也。人见识短浅，所以必等弊端闹大才来设法挽救。
41、人性最可怜的就是:我们总是梦想着天边的一座奇妙的玫瑰园，而不去欣赏今天就开在我们窗口的玫瑰。
42、古人说:“少成若天性，习惯如自然。”坏习惯是我们打不开的心锁;坏习惯是我们转不过的弯;坏习惯是我们看不见的障碍……好习惯要保持，坏习惯要改正，永远别让坏习惯左右我们的未来。
最新大学英语四级匹配题+详解
长篇阅读——匹配题 Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Passage 1 Paper —More than Meets the Eye A) We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and whilst it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades. B) It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart, it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited life span. It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card. C) Paper can be made from an almost endless variety of cellulose（纤维素化合物）-based material which will include many woods, cottons and grasses of which papyrus is an example and from where we get the word "paper". Many of these are very specialized, but the preponderance of paper making has been from soft wood and cotton or rags, with the bulk being wood-based. Paper from Wood D) In order to make wood into paper it needs to be broken down into fine strands. Firstly by powerful machinery and then boiled with strong alkalies(碱) such as caustic soda, until a fine pulp of cellulose fibers is produced. It is from this pulp that the final product is made, relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers. That, in a very small nutshell, is the essence of paper making from wood. However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add bleach and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals. E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called lignin. This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paperback books will have a life of no greater than fifty years, not what we need for our archives. F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper". The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications. It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive. G) However, it is nevertheless what the archivist must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to hasten their demise. Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and in some cases simply vanish! H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable? You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously. I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will guarantee the material that they sell. If you want to be absolutely sure that you are storing in, or printing on, the correct material then this is probably the only way. J) Incidentally, acids can migrate from material to material. Lining old shoe boxes with good quality acid-free paper will do little to guard the contents. The acid will get there in the end. Paper from Rag K) Paper is also commonly made from cotton and rag waste. This has the advantage of being lignin-free, but because there is much less cotton and rag than trees, it also tends to be much more expensive than wood pulp paper. You will still need to purchase from a reliable source though, since even rag paper and card can contain undesirable additives. L) A reliable source for quality rag papers is a recognized art stockiest. Many water color artists insist on using only

Universities Branch Out A) As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability. B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity. C) Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America?s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad. D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible. E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai?s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95

However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals. E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called . This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paperback books will have a life of no greater than fifty years, not what we need for our archives. F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper". The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications. It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive. G) However, it is nevertheless what the must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to their . Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and in some cases simply vanish! H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously. I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will

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 withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material 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 "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,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 disease 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 c.they are travelling fast all the time 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 follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

大学英语四级阅读理解（1）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every

Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. B) Fires, power surges, and floods, they're all facts of life. We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news. We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck. We also shake our heads at the digital consequences—melted computers, system failures, destroyed data. Yet, somehow, many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial: "It won't happen to me." Well, the truth is, at some point you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. That's just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldn't be. Home computers contain some of our
