Job stress has been known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular(心血管) disease. Now Finnish scientists have shown that  50  in healthy people the pressure of work can cause damage.
High blood pressure, lack of  51  , smoking and being overweight  52  to heart disease—a    53   killer in many industrialized countries.
But Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and his colleagues, who studied the  54  histories of 812 healthy Finnish men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stress also plays an important role.
Workers who had the highest job-related stress levels at the start of the study were more than twice as  55   to die of heart disease,  56   the study published in The British Medical Journal.
Work stress  57  too much work as well as a lack of satisfaction and feeling undervalued and  58   .
Many people work long hours but if the effort is 59  the stress is minimized. Kivimaki said job pressure is damaging when being overworked is  60  with little or no control, unfair supervision and few career opportunities.
The British Heart Foundation said the results  61   earlier research showing that people in jobs with low control, such as manual workers, could be at greater  62  of heart disease than other employees.
“It is   63   for people to try to minimize levels of stress at work and for employers to  64  people to have more control at work and to be rewarded for their success,” the foundation said in a statement.

A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life
B. Argument Against Violence on TV
C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities
D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life
E. Attractions of Violence on TV
F.  TV’s Power
小题1:_________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually know something about medicine
小题2:_________
TV isolates people in their spare time. People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
小题3:_________
Parent are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with a grandfather.
小题4:_________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
小题5:_________
Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.

The holiday is upon us. Finally, after months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, "Why bother with books? We have the Internet and other media that offer a lot of more colorful entertainment. Books are history!" But don"t be fooled. I"m sure there"s still a lot to be said for reading.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful source of vocabulary, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it"s far easier to get new English words and phrases from a book or an article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
But another more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The average webpage is picture-heavy and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. While "easy" may be attractive, unfortunately it"s of little use for any long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. Because of that, there"s still no substitute (替代品) of a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it independently means that it"s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It"s hard work, but somewhere down the line, you"ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.
小题1:How many reasons for reading a book does the author mention in the passage?
A.ThreeB.TwoC.OneD.Four
小题2: According to the passage, we basically need a ________ in reading.
A.televisionB.pencilC.notebookD.dictionary
小题3:In the author"s opinion, reading on the Internet may_________.
A.develop long-term reading skillsB.improve the general language ability
C.not take the place of reading booksD.be an effective way of reading
小题4: The passage is written mainly to _________.
A.share the pleasure of reading booksB.advise readers to read books
C.stress the importance of reading onlineD.help readers to choose good books

The world has changed and being intelligent isn’t normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale : it has a huge brain, but it still doesn’t know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can’t succeed in life because they can’t communicate well with the world around them.
Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.
This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can’t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的). And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.
It doesn’t help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don’t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people.
小题1: The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ____.
A.communication is more important than intelligence
B.human beings are always more intelligent than animals
C.humans should have the sense of protecting animals
D.the blue whale is the largest animal in the world
小题2: Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ____.
A.they should make their life the same with others
B.they should live in a better world than the others
C.they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence
D.other people’s opinion should be seriously considered
小题3: What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?
A.They become separated from other people and lose their support.
B.They often can’t get higher positions though they are intelligent.
C.They can’t persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.
D.They often can’t make good use of their advantages.
小题4: We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ____.
A.great achievements B.more efforts
C.failure in the futureD.proper changes

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked,“Who broke this window?” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done,but also what our teacher may have found out.She seldom became angry,but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought.I was the one who broke the window.It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball.If I admitted guilt,I would be in a lot of trouble.How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit,”I thought.I didn’t want to raise my hand,but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward.I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student,but I feared she was going to start with me. “I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face.“Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now.It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway.You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.” I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide--the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day and it will echo forever.

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.(291 words)
小题1:Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
A.the material in the test is very difficult

C.cheating can make hard things seem very easy

A.cheaters are often thought highly of
B.people show no respect for those who cheat
