particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,”according to Dr.Yehuda,chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response,causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.In several of the studies,when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs)removed,their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals,are her increased“opportunities”for stress.“It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well.It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,”says Dr.Yehuda.“Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,”she observes,“it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”Dr.Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes.“I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature.Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress.Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence.The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations,by, unfortunately,parents or other family members and they tend not to be one-shot deals.The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”Adeline Alvarez married at18and gave birth to a son,but was determined to finish college.“I struggled a lot to get the college degree.I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape to go to school,and get ahead and do better.”Later,her marriage ended and she became a single mother.“It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager,have a job,pay the rent,pay the car payment,and pay the debt.I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses,Alvarez describes.But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations,with few breaks,and feeling the strain.Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.1.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?[A]Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.[B]Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.[C]Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.[D]Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.2.Dr.Yehuda’s research suggests that women[A]need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress.[B]have limited capacity for tolerating stress.[C]are more capable of avoiding stress.[D]are exposed to more stress.3.According to Paragraph4,the stress women confront tends to be[A]domestic and temporary.[B]irregular and violent.[C]durable and frequent.[D]trivial and random.4.The sentence“I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”(Line6,Para.5)shows that[A]Alvarez cared about nothing but making money.[B]Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses.[C]Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs.[D]Alvarez paid practically everything by check.5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A]Strain of Stress:No Way Out?[B]Responses to Stress:Gender Difference[C]Stress Analysis:What Chemicals Say[D]Gender Inequality:Women Under Stress§4.快速阅读冲刺练习IIReading Comprehension(Skimming and

their businesses and increase productivity--and just make their lives easier--but it’s a tool that’s multifaceted,complex and just a plain mystery to some.If used effectively,you’ll reap huge benefits for your business,but using it improperly means more inefficient systems,lost customers and a host of other problems.When it comes to managing your technology needs,there are a number of challenges facing business owners today.The four biggest ones are a lack of education about technology options,aninability to prioritize which technologies are most important at what time,how to go about integrating technology into your business and,finally,how to protect it.Let’s talk about that lack of education first.Lack of EducationAlthough it seems that technology gets easier and easier to use every year,for many, technology is still a“closed box.”And this closed box creates a digital divide.Take your website, for instance.It’s pretty easy to create one,but the digital divide part comes into play when your competitor has features on their site that enables them to provide better customer service than yours does.And while it’s easy to blame your weaker site on a lack of money,that’s most likely not the reason your competitor has a feature that your site doesn’t.The real reason is that they had the vision to hire an expert or do it by themselves using a low-cost hosted application.What it comes down to is this:Because you didn’t know you could add an instant chat tool to your website for just a few dollars per month--and probably didn’t even know such a service existed--you didn’t have it on your website and your competitor did.So how can you educate yourself about what’s out there that you should have?Set a goal to read the technology sections of a few small-business-focused magazines on a weekly or monthly basis,or subscribe to a few free online newsletters focused on small-business technology.Regularly keep in touch with your local tech advisors and let them know you want them to keep you informed about the technologies you should know about that could help your growing business.Take advantage of free and/or low-cost technology seminars offered by your local chamber of commerce,the SBA or other business organizations.Inability to PrioritizeMaybe you know about the latest and greatest technologies already and have a super consultant to guide you.Since you most likely have a limited amount of time and money to implement the technology you need,it’s important to have a technology plan in place to prioritize what technology you decide to implement and when.Let’s say,for instance,that your company’s sales force is growing and you,therefore,need to consider implementing a wireless e-mail system.Then your marketing manager tells you that you have to expand your marketing department and need to consider adding WiFi in your office to accommodate the new employees.About this time,you also realize that more and more sales are happening outside your local region and you should expand your website to include bettercustomer service and sales features.In this kind of scenario,it’s vital to work within a technology plan(just like your business plan)and consider what your goals are for the near,mid-term and long-range ing a technology plan will help you wisely invest in the right technology for your business at the right time.Without a technology plan,you’ll always feel like you’re running after the“technology train”instead of managing it.Integrating InformationWhen you first started out,it’s likely that you began using Microsoft Excel to store critical facts and figures.As your business grew,you might have then begun using a PDA and Microsoft Outlook to store customer information.A number of your employees now use ACT!to manage customers while your marketing manager uses a hosted application.Congratulations!You’ve now graduated to multiple silos of data,not one of which is connected or integrated.As your business grows,it’s absolutely essential that you ensure your business’s data is integrated as much as possible.Your inventory,sales data and marketing information need to be linked to together to best serve your customers and increase your profitability.When inventory levels are low,you don’t want to promise a customer you can get them something you really can’t deliver.If a very important customer regularly buys from you,you should know about it and be able up-sell them on another product to compliment their purchase.Integrating your company’s information is critical to growing your business,and you need to find a way to do that.Whether you figure it out yourself or hire an IT person to help out,don’t neglect this critical part of your technology plan.Data Protection&SecurityAnother critical challenge to your business is how to protect your data from any number of internal and external threats.Hackers want to steal it.Floods,fire,earthquakes and storms can destroy it.Disgruntled employees want to erase it(after selling it to your competition).You might accidentally delete it.In order to ensure your data is as protected as possibly,you must do three things:1)protect it from hackers and others who shouldn’t have access to it;2)install a well-thought-out backup plan to ensure your data is backed up should it get lost;and3)ensure you can recover your data in a timely fashion圆圆工作室友情提示：购买原版，饮水思源！1.Technology is a very valuable but simple tool for some business owners.2.Being able to prioritize which technologies are most important at what time is the biggestchallenge facing business owners.3.The reason your site doesn’t have a feature that your competitor has is you didn’t have the vision required.4.Your local tech advisors may be able to

certainty and happiness through the ups and downs in life.A compass point to give the day direction and prevent feeling meaningless and letting disorientation creep in.Some people use relationships,status or religion as that anchor.I believe the best one of all is simply the now.Cultivating a habit to focus on what is,not what might be or what was,is a happy way to live.Relationships can end,status can fail and religion can delude,but the now is a constant.The Now Habit From Concept to PracticeI don’t believe centering on the now is just a fuzzy spiritual practice.The actual habit is just an exercise in focus.By redirecting your attention towards what you are currently doing,feeling orexperiencing you can get more done while removing fears and stresses from life.Here are ten steps to help cultivate the now habit:1)Remove resistance.Stop resisting what is.If you are stuck in a traffic jam,you are stuck in a traffic jam.You can’t center yourself in the now if you don’t accept it.Even if you are in a situation you don’t like or intend to change,accept it as part of your current reality.2)Find rose-smelling moments.Give yourself a few moments to smell the roses each day.Stopping your routine,even for only thirty seconds,and grounding yourself in what is around you can have a calming effect.Most people don’t do this unless captured by something magnificent.But even simple parts of life deserve a chance at reflection.Spend fifteen seconds to see how the light bounces off the edge of a glass.Or look at the pattern of clouds in an overcast sky.Just a small investment can make you feel more centered for the rest of your day.3)Experience what you are doing.Here’s a big one.Actually experience what you are doing.This might sound bizarre,but how often do you eat a meal without really tasting the food?Listen to music without noticing the notes? Talk to your spouse without really listening?If you are going to do something,engage with it.Try to isolate specific flavors in your sandwich.Notice the different instruments in a piece of music you’ve heard thousands of time. Empathize with a friend who is talking to you.Whether you choose to experience something or not doesn’t matter for productivity.It takes the same amount of time for me to really taste a bowl of soup than just slurping it down.But by choosing to focus on your current task you can draw far more enjoyment and peace from it.4)Cut down multitasking.Cut out the need to do several things at once.Not only has this been shown to be ineffective from a productivity standpoint,it also makes it more difficult to concentrate.Concentration is key to the now habit.Without the ability to effectively use your attention,you can’t hope to focus on the now.5)Enjoy limitations.Freedom is a common concept in American culture.I believe it was the major theme of just about every blockbuster movie I’ve seen recently.But the kind of freedom discussed,external liberty,isn’t the most important freedom.The most important freedom is from the internal conflicts of worries,negative thoughts and distractions.When you’ve cultivated a high degree of internal freedom,external freedom matters less.Cases of people such as Victor Frankl,who utilized his experiences in a concentration camp tocreate a more meaningful life are abundant.Even if most of us have our basic rights and necessities,there will always be limitations. Going to work,chores,paying taxes are an almost inescapable reality.But you can use those limitations to guide your thinking towards the now.Limits can be the rules you have to abide by in the always interesting game of life.6)Discipline your mind.Where does this internal freedom come from?Discipline.Despite what much of Western culture would lead us to believe,discipline is the foundation of freedom,not its opposite.Disciplining your body,thinking and actions means bringing the internal forces under control. This is a skill that takes time to develop.I certainly haven’t reached the pinnacle of human discipline,but compared with several years ago the difference is dramatic.7)Follow a goal,but detach from the result.Goals are a difficult subject to tackle when applying the now habit.How can you have a goal, which is based in the future,and still focus on the now?The answer is that goals give an overall direction to what you are doing today.You can work hard by an inspiring goal and not be consumed by it.Emphasize the actions you are doing right now over the end result.If getting the million dollars,beautiful spouse or perfect physique becomes more important to you than the path towards it,goals can become a trap.As long as a goal serves to order your current actions,then it can help you focus on the now.8)Daily gratitude.Spend a few moments to reflect on what you are grateful for.Gratitude doesn’t mean,“Well it could be worse…”Gratitude means being happy now instead of just happy later.It means being thankful for the interesting challenges and opportunities life has given you.9)Cut away distractions to a meaningful life.Simplify your life.I might not seem like the best proponent of this,by constantly adding more to my life,but after any addition there needs to be reduction.Cutting back on things that aren’t contributing to your growth helps you focus.When you are constantly surrounded by noise of activities,media and people that aren’t adding anything,it is harder to focus.10)Engage yourself.I don’t believe inner peace has to come from a monastic life in the wilderness.The happiest people I know are the ones most engaged in life.I usually wake up knowing I have a day full of exciting challenges and tasks.There are always moments for reflection,but by engaging yourself more you do what the now habit is all about,living and not just existing.1.The author believes that relationships,status or religion should be used as the anchor to give uscertainty and happiness.2.The author suggests we remove resistance to our current unpleasant situation.3.Most people would stop their routines unless their attention is captured by something magnificent.圆圆工作室友情提示：购买原版，饮水思源！4.Fixing your attention on what you are doing gives you more enjoyment and peace.5.Your productivity would be decreased if______________.6.Freedom from internal conflicts matters more than___________.7.Disciplining your body,thinking and actions results in__________.8.According to the author,we should stress our current actions______________.9.Simplify your life and you will find that_____________.10.The author believes inner peaces belongs to__________________.KEY:1.NG2.Y3.N4.Y5.you don’t cut down multi-tasking./you do several things at once6.external freedom7.internal freedom8.over the end result9.it is easier to focus10.the ones/those most engaged in life§5.作文冲刺练习【作文评分标准】14分标准：文章切题；表达思想清楚；文字通顺，连贯性较好；基本上无语言错误，仅有个别拼写小错。
