    For many people, being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework, meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life, home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.

    In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.

    Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”

    We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.

    The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and accumulates quickly. “That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.

    Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to “leave work stress at the office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.

    1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”?

    A. stressful. B. cheerful. C. worthwhile. D. rewarding.

    2.What did the research in the second paragraph prove?

    A. Men felt better at home.

    B. Women felt they had less time.

    C. Women were easier to feel happier.

    D. Most people felt more stress at home.

    3.What do most people think of work at office?

    A. It is competitive. B. It improves ability.

    C. It can’t relieve stress. D. It doesn’t always pay off.

    4.According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?

    A. Our attitude. B. Our mind-set.

    C. Our home life. D. Our working style.

    Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

    Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

    There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

    Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

    Dear Bob,

    I’m sorry to tell you that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on this Sunday, because something unlucky occurred to me in the PE class yesterday.

    I was playing basketball with my friends while I jumped highly to catch the ball. Another student struck me on a leg accidentally, that made me break my leg. The situation made everyone nervous. However, I was sent to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. The doctor suggested that I rested until next Friday. I hope the change will not cause you too much troubles.

    Yours,

    Many of you are studying hard because you have to compete with many others in the upcoming national college entrance exam. But it may not occur to you that one of your competitors is a robot. An artificial intelligence(AI) robot will take part in the 2017 National College Entrance Exam, reported China Daily.

    “The robot will sit three exams: math, Chinese, and a comprehensive test of liberal arts (文科), which includes history, politics and geography,” Lin Hui, CEO of an AI company in Chengdu. Like the others who take the exam, the robot will have to finish the tests in the given time. But instead of taking exams together with other students, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors(监考人) and a notary(公证人). It is expected to be totally disconnected from the Internet and solve the problems with its AI program.

    It’s believed that Chinese and the test of its liberal arts skills, rather than its math skills, will give the robot its biggest challenges. Questions in math are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects there are some subjective questions that test skills such as reading comprehension and essay writing.

    The robot aims to be enrolled in one of the first-class Chinese universities in 2017, and then try to get into the more famous universities of Tsinghua or Peking University in 2020.

    1.The author wrote the passage in order to ________.

    A. lay more burden on Grade 3 students

    B. inform readers of the explosive news

    C. introduce the function of the robot

    D. predict what robots will do in the future

    2.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

    A. The differences between the robot and other candidates.

    B. The specific information about how the robot will take the exam.

    C. The ideal universities of the robot.

    D. The advantages the robot has.

    3.Which is one of the biggest challenges for the robot candidate?

    A. Math calculating B. Objective questions

    C. Liberal arts skills D. Physics questions

    4.Choose the correct one according to the passage.

    A. The robot candidate will have its separate proctors

    B. The robot will participate in Chinese, English, math and science

    C. The robot is not designed to be admitted to universities

    D. The robot connected from the Internet will sit for the college entrance exam
