Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸的) system. It can lead to asthma and cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and problems of digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks and feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve(释放)stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health, our feelings and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
If you watched the 2018 Winter Olympics, then you might have noticed the suits that the athletes wore. Have you ever wondered why they look so unique? Besides making the athletes look stylish, the suits can also help them move faster. This is especially true for speed skaters.
Wave your hand around in the air. You might feel some air moving around your hand, but you probably don't think that it can slow your hand down. But if you wave your hand around in some water, you can feel that it is not easy to move your hand. This is called drag (阻力). Air has less drag than water, but it can affect your speed.
Speed skaters wear suits that reduce drag. The suit makes the surface of their body smooth. This way, the air moves more easily over their body and there is less drag.
The US speed skating team's suits were made out of a white nylon-spandex (尼龙氨纶) mix called H1. When we move, we leave a vacuum (真空) hole of air behind us that can slow us down. Speed skaters need to make it as small as possible. The H1 fabric (织物) can help with this. The fabric makes the airflow behind moving objects more steady and therefore makes the hole smaller, Wired magazine reported.
The H1 fabric was used for the arms and legs of the team's suits. That's because human arms and legs move more and feel more drag.
Wearing high-tech suits might not decide the final victor in a competition. But the suits give athletes the best tool to do their job.

I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant. It was 1 business time and the restaurant was crowded. We 2found a table in a comer for three of us.
As soon as we sat down，we heard a crash when a cleaning boy 3the floor with all the plates he was carrying. There was 4 and no one was saying or doing anything.
In a flash I remembered mv 5 many years ago. Once, I 6 in the airport because 1 had rushed there on my own on an empty stomach. I was picked up and taken care of by two 7. Now this was my chance to 8 it forward.
I ran to the young man's side immediately, turned him on his back and screamed for someone to 9 a hot drink. Soon people started asking if I was a doctor. I said I was not, 10 I was skillful at blacking out（晕厥）.
The kid soon opened his eves, 11what had happened. I12 him by saying it was OK and I had had a 13 experience. He had not eaten anything. I held the 14drink to his mouth till he finished it and sat with him till he felt OK. By then the 15 had arrived. I asked her to give the kid something to eat. I offered to pay.
The manager was kind enough to refuse the 16 and agreed to make sure the kid ate before he went home. By the time all this was 17 it was getting late for my colleagues. We hadn't 18 anything yet，so they decided to go home.
I slowly walked home, not hungry any more, feeling 19 for the opportunity I pay forward the 20 I had received many years ago.
Jacqueline, an American actress, recently played a hostess for a black tea advertisement in Beijing. The other1in the advertisement was a young woman. 2they were in different scenes, Jacqueline and her co-star both got their fill of black tea. In fact, Jacqueline was3to drink so much tea that she had to run to the restroom in between4.
Shooting a (an)5is not as simple as it appears, which involves a lot of 6on the part of the actor. Jacqueline had to learn how to 7 a tea cup correctly and make sure she was seated in a(n) 8and lady-like fashion with her 9 kept tightly together. Meanwhile, she had to "10" with two Chinese to show her chatting with the guests while enjoying the tea. They11 various topics, such as traveling, cultural differences, and of course, Chinese tea. Although the Chinese guests and Jacqueline gradually 12 topics, they never got 13, thanks to the never-ending refills! And the 14 of the tea had to be right for shooting: The cup had to be clean and the tea couldn't have too many bubbles (泡沫).
China is the reputed birthplace of tea, including black tea, which is 15 to have been accidentally discovered during the Ming Dynasty. 16, black tea was a drink only for the rich and privileged.
"17this black tea advertisement in its country of 18 is an unforgettable experience. And drinking tea in such a peaceful19has made me look at black tea in a new light, and 20it even more," said Jacqueline.
The teacher that we some words to enlarge our vocabulary.
While English speakers look back to the time of Shakespeare and Milton 400 years ago as a Golden age, Chinese look back far (far), to the Tang dynasty 1, 200 years ago as their Golden age of literature.
A key feature of Chinese poetry is it is concise (简洁的). Each character places a thought, an impression, and an image. Emphasis is put on use of rhythm and sometimes in a (balance) look of the characters so that it is (visual) pleasing on paper.
Amazing 48, 000 poems have survived from the many Tang dynasty poets. After the Tang dynasty, poets struggled (establish) a modern style that was not rooted in the glories of the past. Later the style of the Song dynasty did become a popular form. So many people enjoy such (popular) because it was more fluent and less rigid than that of the Tang.
Many poems contain specific events from Chinese history, and that makes understanding these poems challenge to non-Chinese. Translating Chinese poems into English (cause) all sorts of problems. For many years, writers have tried to convey the spirit of poems different ways. Although much is lost in translation, the core (核心的) meaning can (catch) and appreciated.
The Internet and the World Web (网) are great places to be right now. We use the word "place" because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather together－in homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family reunions(团聚)or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn shop, find important information, and communicate, whether they're local, global or simply virtual (虚的) .
The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can research and book flights, check the weather, find breaking news, find out information about schools and colleges. You can even place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.
The Internet is also fun. You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者), check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web .
Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just to do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason why it's called web "surfing".
Of course, the first step to using the Web for business or for fun is learning how to work a "web browser"(浏览器). If you're new to computers, it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz(专家). The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modem computers—learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scroll（滚动） up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull-down menus. Again, be patient. There's no time limit on web surfing . Give yourself a chance to explore (探索) the browser itself while you explore the Web.

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials （商业广告） thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.""Drink Good Wet Root Beer.""Fill up with Pacific Gas."Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring,the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrest with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

A. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
B. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
C.To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
D.To describe the billboards along the road.
58.The writer of this passage would probably favor ______.
A.bus drivers who aren’t reckless B.no billboards along the road
C.a television set on the bus D. driving alone
59.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ______.
A.they both have a beginning,a middle,and an end,with commercials in between
B.the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
C.the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

After years of research and testing, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It’ s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’ s world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and conserve our natural resources.
The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car’ s engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.
A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. The 144volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car’s brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking”, because it generates electricity.
Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time, this helps it use less gas than a regular car. When the driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.
Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says, “I am low on gas”. When it completely runs out, the warning reads, “YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.
51. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The hybrid car will be put on the market.
B. Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars.
C. When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light, the driver will get a warning.
D. The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.
52. According to the passage, the word “hybrid” refers to ________.
A. a high-tech discovery B. energy saving
C. a new invention D. a combination of two things
53. “Regenerative breaking” is an important process of the hybrid car because ________.
A. it allows the car to come to a quick stop B. it gives the driver a smoother ride
C. it produces energy to charge the battery D. it can control the speed of the car
54. Which of the following is right about the EPA?
A. They designed hybrid cars.
B. They outlawed (宣布……为不合法) the burning of fossil fuels.
C. They set important guidelines that help control pollution.
D. Their main purpose is to protect endangered plants and animals.
55．Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars?
A. They use less gas than regular cars. B. They’ re safer to drive than most cars.
C. They’re more modern than other cars. D. They cost less than regular cars.
