Some recent surveys show that the health conditions of many white collar employees and office workers are rather critical. Death cases among white collar employees and office workers are increasing year by year and these cases are generally believed to have been caused by overwork and spend little time taking rest or doing exercise.

If their offices are within the distance of half an hour’s walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Deng, who works in a foreign enterprise in Beijing, has been walking to her office for more than six months now. “I usually have a tight work schedule and can’t find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work.” As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep good figures as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simplest way is to abandon the lift. Mr. Wei, who works in the Passenger Service Department at Shenzhen Airlines, is one of such men who frequently climb stairs to his office. “I only use the lift whenever I’m with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift.”

In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to a gym at the end of a day. Ms. Sang works in a law firm in Shenzhen. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time. “I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time.” Ms. Sang and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them 3,000 yuan. However they think it’s worth it.

 

41. Why are death cases among white collar employees and office workers increasing year by year?

A. Because they overwork for a long time.

B. Because they are too busy to have time for a rest.

C. Because they hardly have time to do exercise after work.

D. All of the above.

42. How many ways that office workers keep healthy are mentioned in the passage?

A. 3                     B. 4                      C. 5                            D.6

43. Which of the following sentence can be added between Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2?

A. Then, what shall office workers do next to prevent death cases?

B. What will happen to office workers?

C. In order to keep themselves healthy, some office workers now take measures as follows:

D. Working on foot is the best way for office workers.

44. The best title of the passage is ______.

E
Some recent reports on the death penalty have brought some interesting responses from
readers all over the country. Although I really don’t like to make fun of people who oppose the
death penalty because they are so sincere, I wish they would come up with some new arguments to
replace the worn-out ones.
For example, many said something like this : “Wouldn’t it be better to keep the killers alive so
psychiatrists(精神科医生)can study them in order to find out what makes them the way they are?”
It takes the average psychiatrist about five years to figure why a guy wants to stop for two drinks after work and won’t quit smoking. So how long do you think it will take him to determine why somebody with an IQ of 92 decided to murder the little old lady who lives next door? Besides, we have a huge number of killers in our prisons—more than enough to keep all the nation’s psychiatrists busy for the next 20 years.
Another standard is: “The purpose of the law should be to protect society, not to give cruel punishment, such as the death penalty.”
In that case ,we should tear down all the prisons and let all the criminals go because most people would consider a long period in prison to be cruel punishment--especially those who are locked up. Even 30 days in the Cook County Prison is no picnic.
And: “What gives society the right to take a life if an individual can’t?” The individuals who make up society give it that right. Societies perform many functions that individuals can’t. We can’t carry guns and shoot people, but we give that right to police.
Words can not explain the suffering the families of murder victim are left to live with. The families suffer a terrible loss, and they live with terrible memories. The knowledge that the killers are alive and will probably remain alive and cared for you by society is extremely painful. Probably, people who oppose the death penalty should try explaining to these people how cruel it is to kill someone.
72.What’s the writer’s attitude towards death penalty?
A.Death penalty is a must.
B.Death penalty doesn’t solve all the problems.
C.Death penalty should be practiced more carefully.
D.Death penalty should only be used on murderers.
73.How many arguments against death penalty are discussed in the passage?
A.Two  B.Three       C.Four  D.Five
74.What does the last sentence of the text suggest?
A.It’s cruel to use death penalty to kill someone.
B.Murder victims need more comfort from the society.
C.Opponents of death penalty should offer explanations.
D.Murderers should be put to death as the punishment.
75.The author develops the passage by         .
A.providing typical examples of death penalty
B.following the natural time order
C.presenting and analyzing ideas
D.comparing opinions from different fields

Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and cause students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.

An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.

In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."

Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."

"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(老一套,模式) and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring(不和谐的)cultural confrontations(对抗)."

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

1.What can we learn from some recent studies?

A.Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.

B.Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

C.Interracial lodging does more harm than good.

D.Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

2.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?

A.White students tend to look down upon their black peers.

B.Black students can compete with their white peers academically.

C.Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.

D.Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

3.What does the Indiana University study show?

A.Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.

B.Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.

C.Roommates of different races just don't get along.

D.Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.

4.What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?

A.Students of different races are required to share a room.

B.Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

C.Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

D.The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

5.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?

A.It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

B.Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.

C.Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.

D.Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.
