published in The Lancet this month. Researchers found spending time in traffic, whether as a driver or a
pedestrian(行人), tops the list of risk factors that bring on a heart attack.
Jon Ayres, professor of environmental and respiratory(呼吸的) medicine at the University of
Birmingham, says, "Air pollution is not only linked to strokes, heart attacks and cancer - it has a deep
effect on those with existing respiratory conditions." So how can you avoid the damage? We asked the
experts for their tips.
TAKE TO THE SIDE STREETS
Avoid main roads. These have the highest number of vehicles and also more traffic jams, which tend to run on diesel(柴油). Diesel engines emit(排放) tiny particles(粒子) that reach the lungs most easily.
Choose side streets, pavements, parks and avenues lined with trees.
BUY SOME HOUSEPLANTS
We spend 90 percent of our time inside, but studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have found that pollution levels can be two to five times higher indoors than outside. Objects such as synthetic(合成的) carpets, TV screens can emit chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOC,挥发性有机化合物), which have been linked to diseases such as cancer. Researchers at Curtin University in Perth,
Australia, found an increase in asthma (哮喘) risk among children under three who had high VOC levels
in their homes. Therefore, the application of air fresheners and houseplants can keep the circulation of the
air and absorb the pollutants.
B. Stress
C. Traffic
D. Air pollution
B. Main streets
C. Pavements
D. Parks
B. Objects such as synthetic carpets, TV screens can not cause diseases
C. The risk of cancer is higher indoors than outside
D. The application of air fresheners and houseplants can keep the circulation of the air and absorb the pollutants
B. Air pollution is the main cause of a heart attack

drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before
his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the
stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack
and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising
to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had
died. Jim"s father was 48.
"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not asked him
to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation
was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live
to the age of 48.
Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim"s,
studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart
disease and mental illness.
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48
B. a, b, e
C. a, c, e
D. b, c, d
| a. One"s genes. b. One"s life in childhood. c. One"s physical education. d. The date of one"s birthday. e. The opinions one has about something. |
| 阅读与表达 阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题.(请注意问题后的字数要求) America"s No.1 health problem? A report published by the American Institute of Stress claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. The report says: "It has been estimated that 75-90 percent of all visits to physicians (内科医生) are for stress related problems." It is no exaggeration to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, "Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%)." However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that "over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill." As a result of "work-related stress, depression or anxiety," there are "an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain." The picture is no less bleak (荒凉的) in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, "work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors." One survey revealed that there are "about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year." _____________? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: "Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries." The report observed that "several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers" health." 1. What"s the main idea of the passage?

| At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization. Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers. Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling," said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural  waste. |

| Burns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help. First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home. Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment. Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention. Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home: 1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes. 2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth. 3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain. Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps: 1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.). 2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately. 3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it. 4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters. 5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly. |

| 2. Burns are divided into different degrees according to ______. |
| A. what kind of treatment they need B. what kind of tissue of the body is damaged C. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there is D. which layer of skin is burned |
| 3. From the passage we learn that _____. |
| A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatment B. first-degree burns don"t require medical treatment C. burns without pains can be treated at home D. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. |
| A. you shouldn"t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severe B. you shouldn"t move the person unless you know how to do first aid C. you shouldn"t run cool water over the burn if the skin is broken D. you shouldn"t place any wet towels on the burned area |

| As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 66. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C. they are travelling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work 67. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________. A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxation C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance 68. Which of the following statements is true? A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. B. Stress is always harmful to people. C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress. 69. In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______. A. "making a choice between "flight" or "fight"" B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically" C. "responding to crises quickly" D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties" 70. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______. A. "expose ourselves to stress" B. "find ways to deal with stress" C. "remove stress from our lives" D. "established links between diseases and stress" |
