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 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 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 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 sign 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 primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however 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. Since we can’t remove stress from out lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.36.

According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is ______.A. to avoidB. to regard it as a vital motivationC. to try to cope with itD. to find some relaxationTask 2 （5×2=10）Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses inorder to graduate. Each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of 36 courses, each lasts for a semester. A typical course consists of 3 classes per week for 15 weeks. While attending a university, a student will probably have 4 or 5 courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take 4 years, attending 2 semesters each year; it is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a long period. It is also possible for a student to move from one university to another during his degree course, though this is not in fact one as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is a variable for the student to show to the prospective employers. All this impose a constant pressure and strain of work affairs. Election’s positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who I thought to have broken the rule, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.41.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 46 through 50.One phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is ever-growing expansion of existing facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery and “heavy” industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a great expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel, glass, and rubberindustries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused among the various segments of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise and rise without an apparent end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiraling upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.46.
