     Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by pro- viding clues to who people are, who they
are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's back- ground, personality,
status, mood, and social outlook.
     Since clothes are such an important source of social informa- tion,we can use them to influence people's
impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is
likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated (疏远) by a young adult who is
dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests.
     People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the
lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they like- ly have had
and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered
to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conserva- tively. And college students
who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter-personal relationships say they are concerned about
the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in
which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have
used clothing to gain confidence when you waited for a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court
appearance.
     In the workplace, men have long had clear precedents (先例) and role models for achieving success. It has
been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain aboutthe suitable mixture
of" masculine" and"feminine" charac- teristics they should express by their professional clothing. The vari- ety
of clothing choices to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to
judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming (打扮)-shorter hair, moderate use of make- up, and plain tailored clothing.
1. According to the passage, the way we dress _____.
A. provides clues for people who are critical of us
B. indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career
C. has a direct influence on the way people regard us
D. is of particular importance when we get on in age
2. From Paragraph 3 we can see young adults believe certain types of clothing can _____.
A. change people's conservative attitudes toward their lifestyle
B. help young people make friends with the opposite sex
C. make them competitive in the job market
D. help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships
3. Many career women find themselves in difficult situations because _____.
A. the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to choose
B. women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion models
C. men are more favorably judged for managerial positions
D. they wonder the extent for them to display the feminine qual- ities through clothing
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Dressing for effect.
B. How to dress appropriately.
C. Managerial positions and clothing.
D. Dressing for the occasion.

  People with had health customs or habits have a much greater chance of suffering serious diseases and needing costly medical care, but good habits, such as a program or physical exercise, appear to protect health.

  The most of the patients who were in the hospital for a long time and who faced high medical costs were persons who were overweight, who smoked heavily, or who drank too much alcohol. Persons with such bad habits faced at least a 50 percent greater than normal chance of needing costly hospital care. The smokers usually had lung or blood vessel disease. The heavy drinkers had liver or nerve disease. And those who were overweight had heart disease, or diabetes (糖尿病).

  A program of physical exercise improves the body’s ability to dissolve or melt dangerous blockages in blood vessels. Such a blockage or blood clot in vessels carrying blood to the heart can cause a heart attack.

  The researchers tested 69 persons, both before and after the persons had taken part in a ten- week physical exercise program. The program involved a great deal of physical efforts tretching, walking and running. The scientists found that there was a large increase in each person’s production of clotdissolving (血块溶解) substances after the ten-week exercise program. This was true even in those persons who did not change other habits that increased the dangers of heart attack, such as cigarette smoking.

  So we said the study is more evident than physical exercise that can help protect the person’s health. Good physical condition can reduce the chances that a person will die from heart or blood vessel diseases.

1.Which of the following is NOT true?

[  ]

A.Heavy drinkers can have liver or nerve disease.

B.Persons with bad habit need more costly hospital care than normal people.

C.The blockage can cause diabetes.

D.Smokers usually have lung diseases.

2.What does the author imply in this passage?

[  ]

A.We should eat less in order not to be fat.

B.We should not drink.

C.We should all take part in a ten- week physical exerciseprogram.

D.We should form good habits in order to be healthy.

3.________ didn’t face high medical costs.

[  ]

A.Persons who practiced a lot

B.Persons who were overweight

C.Persons who smoked heavily

D.Persons who drank too much alcohol

4.What’s the best rifle of the passage?

[  ]

A.Health Customs.

B.Physical Exercise.

C.Life Habits and Health.

D.Physical Condition.

  The researchers found that aspirin(阿司匹林)had an even greater effect on women aged 65 and older.Those who took aspirin were 30 percent less likely to have a stroke(中风)caused by a blood clot.They were also less likely to suffer a heart attack than those given a placebo(安慰剂).

  However, the study found that aspirin did not lower the risk(冒险)of heart attack in younger women.And there were more cases of stomach bleeding in the women who took aspirin than in those who did not.Experts say this shows that, in general, the risks from aspirin use in younger women could be greater than the good it might do.

  Aspirin can cause bleeding.It can also cause a bad reaction with other medicines.People who want to begin aspirin treatment are advised to talk to their doctors first.

  Experts are not sure why men and women react differently to aspirin treatment.But Doctor Buring notes at least one similarity.She says aspirin has been clearly shown to improve the survival chances for anyone who has already had a heart attackor a stroke.

  That “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath.Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.

  The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.

  Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week.Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.

  A study of 11 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.

  The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr.Stefan Willich of the Free University.“We know a lot about long term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇)but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them.” he said.

  Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.

  “When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(荷尔蒙)changes in their bodies,” Willich explained.“All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块)which will cause a heart attack.”

  “When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes.They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,” said Willich.

(1)

Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, ________.

[  ]

A.

is not as serious as people thought

B.

is the first killer in Germany and Italy

C.

is created by researchers in Germany and Italy

D.

(2)

To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to ________.

[  ]

A.

people’s working time

B.

people’s living place

C.

people’s diet and lifestyle

D.

people’s nationalities

(3)

It can be learned from the passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT ________.

[  ]

A.

blood pressure

B.

heart rate

C.

hormonal changes

D.

blood type

(4)

B.

Never go to work on Mondays.
