    Stress is an uncomfortable feeling in the mind from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. Stress if often accompanied by physical symptoms, including twitching or trembling, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, rapid or irregular heart rate, rapid breathing, fatigue, loss of temper, sleeping difficulties and nightmares, decreased concentration.
    Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is good – it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can cause general poor health as well as specific physical or depression. Persistent and never-ceasing stress often leads to anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of alcohol or drugs.
    Certain drugs can lead to symptoms of stress due to side effects. Such drugs include caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and diet pills. A poor diet – for example, low levels of vitamin B 12 – can also contribute to stress or anxiety. Performance stress is related to specific situations, like taking a test or making a presentation in public. Posttraumatic stress develops after an unforgettably shocking event like war, physical attacks, or a natural disaster.
    Any effective ways to cope with your stress or anxiety? One step is to make a list of what you think might be making you ‘stress out’: What do you worry about most? Is something constantly on your mind? Does anything in particular make you sad or depressed?
    Then, find someone you believe in who will listen to you. Often, just talking to a friend or loved one is all that is needed to relieve anxiety. Most communities also have support groups and hotlines that can help. Social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals may be needed for therapy and medication (疗法和打坐).
    Also, find healthy ways to deal with stress. For example, eat a well – balanced, healthy diet, don’t overeat, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, limit caffeine and alcohol. Don’t use nicotine, cocaine, or other recreational drugs. Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga and tai chi. Take breaks from work. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities. Spend time with people you enjoy. Find self – help books at your local library or bookstore.

    All That noise is damaging Children’s Hearing
    Michel become hooked on headphones in his early teens. He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper-range hearing.
    The Children’s Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.
    Surrounded By Noise
    We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.
    We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern ” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.
    As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.
    Protecting Young Ears
    Before buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.
    Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.
    Don’t take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.
    The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family-oriented films, doing puzzles, making thins with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting librarians and museums.
    All That noise is damaging Children’s Hearing

    A
    Jordan Makes Basketball Hall of Fame
    Last Monday, the former Chicago Bulls great was elected to the 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame class, adding another honor to his long list of accomplishments. With incredible acrobatic (特技的) moves and slam dunks(灌篮), Jordan was a 14-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA finals Most Valuable Player and the key figure on the 1992 US Olympic gold medal “Dream” Team.
    Jordan retired twice during his 15-year career, and finished with 32,392 points, the third-highest total in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His career average of 30.12 points per game is the best in the league’s history.
    Although his career boasts(拥有)many glories, Jordan said entering the hall was what he never imagined. “I don’t like being up here for the Hall of Fame, because at that time, your basketball career is completely over.” Jordan said during a news conference. “I was hoping this day was coming in 20 more years, or that I’d actually go in when I’m dead and done.”
    According to the Chicago Tribune, as Jordan accepted a Hall of Fame Jersey(运动衣), he turned to his former competitors David Robinson and John Stockton, who were also among the class of 2009, and threatened another comeback.
    “Every time I see these guys, I want to put my shorts on,” said Jordan, 46, whose age has decreased everything but his desire.
    His father once said that passion was what made his son special. From the moment he started playing games, Michael had to win. Once, Jordan traveled everywhere and anywhere to feed that competitive urge.
    “He doesn’t have a gambling problem.” His father said, “What he does have is a competition problem. He was born with that. The person he tries to outdo(超过)most of the time is himself.”
    56．This passage is mainly about__________.
    A．everything Jordan has achieved in his life
    B．the contribution Jordan has made to basketball
    C．how Jordan grew to be a popular basketball player
    D．why Jordan deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and his reaction
    57．From what Jordan said during the news conference, we know that he_______.
    A．dislikes the honor because it makes him feel old
    B．hates the new honor because it’s not worth much
    C．thinks the honor has been given to him too early
    D．is planning a comeback to show his basketball career is not over
    58．Paragraphs 1 and 2 are written to__________.
    A．analyze what basketball skills Jordan is famous for
    B．show how popular Jordan used to be in America
    C．introduce what contributions Jordan made to Chicago Bulls
    D．explain why Jordan is considered a great basketball player
    59．What can we conclude from the passage?
    A．Michael Jordan’s continuous efforts to outdo himself made him great.
    B．Michael Jordan thinks playing basketball is like gambling.
    C．Michael Jordan has gradually lost his desire to play, as he has grown older.
    D．However great a player is, there is an end to his best time.

    D
    When I walked into the house after school, I found my dad at home.
    "What are you doing home already?" I asked casually.
    "Andrew, I was laid off today," he answered quietly.
    I was sure he was joking. "No, you weren't. Why are you really home?"
    Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives. He was home all day, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem (自尊心), though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my allowance（零用钱）, which even though it wasn't much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.
    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.
    One evening I asked if he needed help. "Only if it doesn't interfere（打扰，妨碍） with school," he said, which sounded like a yes.
    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plans, ask for help, and take risks. 
    54．When the father was laid off, he ________.
    A．was angry with his boss             B．didn't care about it at all
    C．couldn't accept the fact easily         D．was as happy as usual
    55．We can know from the passage that ________.
    A．it was not easy for the father to find a new job
    B．the father asked his sons to give up their allowance
    C．the father found a good job when he changed his direction
    D．Andrew and his brother helped his father set up his business
    56．The underlined word "adversity" in the last paragraph probably means        .
    A．poor feelings     B．bad situations     C．low spirits     D．old ideas
    57．What has Andrew learned from his father?
    A．The spirit of creative problem-solving.    B．The skills of surfing the Internet.
    C．The experience of saving money.         D．The rich business skills.

    D
    As I was reading a recent story in Slate on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruining their life plans, I couldn’t help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment: my husband and I probably won’t be able to buy a house until we’re in our 40s, and we too are burdened by student loans(贷款). But why should it be any different? Being young persons in America, shouldn’t they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
    Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she won’t be able to have children for at least a decade because they can’t afford to buy a house yet.
    I read that, and I thought, what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury(奢华), not a fertility requirement.
    A 26-year-old in the story despairs(绝望) that he can’t afford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
    Yes, it’s sad that these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks people’s expectations are slowly adjusting, but today’s 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyone’s wealth appeared to be expanding. Their parents probably saw their home values rise along with their investments. “So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.
    This recession(衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful－for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day－than on longing for some kind of luxury life.
    67．What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
    A．They expect everything to be easy for them.
    B．They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.
    C．They are reluctant to face all of the challenges.
    D．They are burdened by student loans.
    68．The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means       .
    A．baby production                             B．pleasant       
    C．baby comfort                           D．essential
    69．Which of the following is not one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
    A．They can’t have children for at least a decade to buy a house.
    B．They have only one-bedroom apartment to live in.
    C．They can’t buy a house until 40 because of student loans.
    D．They despair at not being able to afford a Ph.D. in literature.
    70．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
    A．To tell us what the author’s attitude towards the 20 – somethings.
    B．To explain why young people can’t afford to buy a house.
    C．To suggest what we should do when young people’s high hopes create despair.
    D．To explain what the 20 – something’s high expectations are.

    D
    Besides his famous speech “I Have a Dream”, Martin Luther King is still well known for his work of nonviolent movements for black people. In 1955, Martin Luther King won national recognition for his non-violent methods used in a bus boycott in Alabama. Under his guidance, this peaceful boycott changed the law which required black people to ride in the backs of buses. After his success, Dr. King used the same way in efforts to change other discriminatory laws.
    Dr. King urged Blacks to use nonviolent sit-ins, marches, demonstrations, and freedom rides in their efforts to gain full freedom and equalities. Arrested for breaking discriminatory laws, Dr. King went to jails dozens of times. He became a symbol around the world for people to protest peacefully against unjust laws. In memory of his work for peaceful changes, Dr. King received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, but his leadership was challenged as civil rights activists became more militant. In the late 1960s, he showed further opposition to the war in Vietnam and to economic discrimination. While planning a multiracial Poor People’s March for anti-poverty legislation, he was shot and killed in Tennessee.
    68. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. The nonviolent methods of Martin Luther King Jr.
    B. Martin Luther King Jr.—Nobel Prize Winner
    C. The need to change discriminatory laws
    D. Martin Luther King Jr.—advocate (奋斗者) of Nonviolence
    69. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a means by which Dr. King tried to turn his dream into realities?
    A. Store boycott.                 
    B. Congressional (国会的) debates.
    C. Peaceful marches.           
    D. Visits to jails (监狱).
    70. It can be inferred that Martin Luther King Jr. was considered by the militants as being too ____.
    A. radical (激进的)      B. cross          C. neutral              D. mild
