    Pressure too much?

        In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.

        People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.

        But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.

        Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.

        If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.

    Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.

      A. they will lose their jobs

      B. most of them find less interest in their work

      C. they can make more money after work.

      D. they want to stay at home.

    Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?

      A. Where there is work there is pressure.

      B. Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.

      C. All modern men are worried and low in spirit.

      D. A certain amount of pressure is necessary.

    From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.

      A. we should drink coffee with our friends

      B. we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.

      C. we can go home because it is warm

      D. to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

    根据短文内容，请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余选项。

    A. Be in a Good Mood

    B. Don’t Try to Multitask

    C. Don’t Break the Signal

    D. Stay Focused on the Road

    E. Keep Your Vehicle in Good Condition

    F. Drinking and Driving Has Fatal Consequences

    Traffic Safety Tips

    If you are among those who think that traffic safety tips are something that need to be given to children and not adults, you are so very young. Being an adult, it is our responsibility to set a good example for others. Remember when you are driving a car with your teenaged son or daughter sitting next to you, he or she is watching you and observing how you drive. So make sure that you follow all the necessary traffic rules to set a good example. Some of the effective traffic safety tips are mentioned below.

    Put Your Seat Belt On

    The first thing that you are supposed to do, and make sure that others in the car also do, is to put your seat belt on. In case there is a child in the car between the age of 4 and 8, a booster seat（儿童座椅）should be used as safety belts are not meant for small children and cannot protect them in case of accidents. Kids under the age of 12 should never sit on the front seat.

    70._________________

    Do you drive, listen to music, eat your sandwich and speak on the phone all at the same time? If you do this, you are not displaying your super powers but allowing multiple things to distract you. Once you are driving, be it alone or with your friends and family, you are responsible for everyone present in the car. So stop doing other things and focus on driving safe.

    71._________________

    Teenagers and young adults especially, don’t realize the risks they are putting themselves into. Alcohol influences your mood and mind and may not give you the judgment and control that you need to have when driving safe. Even smoking should be avoided and drugs should not be consumed if you are planning to drive.

    72._________________

    Driving under pressure with your mind occupied with issues at work or at home would easily allow you to distract your mind off the road leading to an accident. So make sure that you don’t let the things outside your car affect you when you are in the car. Sleep properly and stay relaxed before hitting the road.

    73._________________

    Your emotions or impatience may make you break the signal at times. Or break the speed limit because you are getting late. Don’t do that! The consequences for that may actually be enough to separate you from your driver’s license on a permanent basis. Make sure you obey the traffic rules and guidelines and do all to be a responsible citizen.

    74._________________

    Last but not the least, keep your car in good condition. Make sure you are giving your car for servicing and maintenance on time. Make sure you always check your vehicle tires before hitting the road and don’t run out of gas!

    So these were some of the main traffic safety tips that should be followed by one and all in order to stay safe and be an example for others. Remember, rules and regulations are made for your own benefit and safety. So make sure that you obey them. Take care and have a safe ride.

    A

    SINGAPOREAN singer JJ Lam，29，admitted that this March couldn’t be better：He outshined Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou and bagged four awards at the China Original Music Pop Chart Award(中国原创音乐流行榜) ceremony，including the most coveted(最渴望得到的)best male singer title．

    Yet the trophies(奖杯)were only part of an exciting month．Knowing that he has an O1ympic champion fan，Lam was so happy that he prepared his own gifts for Zhou Yang，the speed skating gold medalist：an autographed(签名的)CD and a Mickey Mouse doll．He even invited Zhou to his birthday party on March 26 after Zhou told him that it was a great pity she had had to miss Lam's Beijing concert last year．

    Lam showed his love and talent for music as early as middle school，but it doesn't mean he easily got to where he is now．Like many young men his age，Lam was once hooked(沉迷)on video games．“One in particular，World of Warcraft，obsessed(迷住)me,” he said．“I made up my own stories and characters and once I even composed(编曲)a soundtrack for the game.”

    But luckily Lam soon realized things would have to change．“There was no future in playing games and I had to think about the years ahead,” he said．

    After finishing high school，Lam joined the army. On the small island where he was stationed，he wrote dozens of songs．Still，his ambition of one day being a pop singer seemed an unrealistic dream to others．“Later，when my former officers heard my songs being played on the radio, they couldn’t believe it.” he said．

    Not that the road to success wasn't a rocky one．When Lam went to Taiwan to develop his career, he felt lonely at first．He started playing computer games again．“I indulged(沉溺) myself in games day and night," he said．“But I came to realize that I mustn’t 1et the games take over my 1ife．I had to go out，see people and meet life’s challenges head on．”

    61．JJ Lam outshone Jay Chou by___________．

    A．winning four awards at a ceremony

    B．being the gold medalist Zhou Yang’s favorite singer

    C．winning the award for best new artist

    D．writing more popular original songs

    A．His parents guided him through success．

    B．He was once obsessed with video games．

    C．He wrote a song for the game WOW．

    D．He understood that playing games would not give him a secure future．

    63．The last paragraph tells us that___________ 

    A．lam has a talent for different music styles

    B．lam became famous overnight

    C．playing video games helps Lam release pressure

    D．lam went through hard times before he became successful

    64．Which of the following elements has NOT contributed to Lam’s success，according to the article?

    A．His passion for music．     B．His song-writing talent．

    C．Support from fans．        D．The skills he learned in the army．

    A

    My father came to the United States as a Ukrainian immigrant （移民）when he was 14 years old. Unable to speak English but willing to do anything to succeed, he learned the language, and became a barber. He put his two daughters, my sister and me, through college during a time when most people thought that women didn’t need an education and that they should be satisfied by getting married and having children.

    I was preparing to get married and my father was trying to practice the polka, a must at any Ukrainian wedding. But he couldn’t do it! He had lost the mobility（活动能力）in his leg and suffered a brain tumor（瘤）. He was forced to retire as a result of paralysis（瘫痪）of his right arm and leg. Dad had always worked two jobs and spent his spare time working around the house. Now his life came to a sudden stop. Yet never once did he complain. He bought rubber balls and spent his days trying to regain his hand mobility by squeezing those balls over and over.

    After his second brain operation, he chatted pleasantly in the hospital room until a nurse flew into the room, waving her finger at me, and yelling, “You’d better tell your father to stay in bed. He is paralyzed and will never walk again. I am sick of picking him up and you’d better warn him to stay put!” My father smiled. He spent a great deal of time on the floor that year, but he eventually got up and walked.

    My father lived nineteen more years after that second brain operation. He bought himself a motorized scooter（单脚滑行车）and spent years moving around the streets of Philadelphia. He was proud, free and always smiling.

    56.In what way was the father different from most other people in his time?

    A. He succeeded immigrating to the US.     

    B. He learned the new language easily and quickly.

    57.   The underlined word “polka” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.

    A. a song     B. a dance         C. a rubber ball       D. a new language

    58.   The author’s father played with rubber balls to ________.

    A. kill his too much spare time     B. reduce his work pressure

    C. get his hand mobility back       D. recover from the brain tumor

    59.   What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Love can create wonders.          B. Failure is the mother of success.

    C. Father’s love is the most valuable.   D. Never give up your life and dream.

    （2010•冀州二模）

    “A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

    Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

         Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         

    Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.

    1.In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?

    A. The school violence.

    B. The pressure of students’ learning.

    C. The right to achieve students potential.

    D. the responsibilities of the students.

    2.The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.

    A. dissatisfied          B. unconcern     C. understanding    D. tolerance

    3. The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.

    A. parents and children live in their separate rooms

    B. parents care little about children’s life at home

    C. children don’t live with their parents in the same room

    D. at home children live a different life from that of parents

    4.What might be most suitable title for the passage?

    A.      Children’s behavior at school is worrying people

    B.      Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits

    C.      There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home

    D.      Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing
