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 life, 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 sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can"t 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.
60.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A.they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B.they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C.they are traveling fast all the time
D.they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
61.According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A.strong will to hold out stress
B.knowing the art of relaxation
C.high sense of responsibility
D.having control over performance
62.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A.We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B.Stress is always harmful to people"s health
C.It"s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

63.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."establish links between diseases and stress"

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class 48 fun assignment --- to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the themes of most of her students’ art. And they were. Douglas made a different kind of picture, 49 . When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an 50 hand .
His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. 51 suggested a police officer’s, because the police protect and care 52 people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him 53 hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How 54 had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, "Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let"s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher"s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, 55 they"ll remember the hand that reaches out.
Then one day the 22 was solved. As I 23 the school he was standing in the middle of the road 24 his stop sign. I was in live behind four cars. 25 the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars 26. To the first he waved and 27 in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same 28 from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking(表情刻板的) businessman, gave a brief, almost 29 wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school 30 more heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with 31. So far I haven’t seen anyone 32 to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) 33 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His 34 armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the 35 of the whole neighbourhood.

Recently divorced in my 30s, I had no job and was on my way downtown on a rainy day to go to the employment offices. I had no umbrella, for my old one had 21 apart, and I couldn’t afford another one.
I sat down in the streetcar — there against the 22 was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid with gold and bright enamel(珐琅). I had never seen anything so lovely. I

I got off the streetcar in a downpour and 26 opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the 27 on the umbrella and found it. I called and a lady answered. Yes, she said in 28 , that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her as a birthday present, but it’d been 29 from her locker at school years before.
