Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain’s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe —— the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world.They are part of the uniform of business.
“Ties offer a point of different," says John Milne, head of the British Guild of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare amongst the new bread of entrepreneurs(创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people—but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat——in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world.Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as "hatless Jack".

A man was charged(指控) with first degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death.In an attempt to escape after a bank robbery, the 20-year-old Larry Whitfield broke into the home of Mary Parnell.Police say he didn’t touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror.Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors(公诉人) said that he can, under the state’s murder rule,which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a felony crime like robbery---even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But,medically speaking,can someone actually be frightened to death?
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response(战或逃反应),which was originally described by Walter Cannon,the chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942.If, in the wild,an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the autonomic nerve system responds by increasing heart rate,increasing blood flow to the muscles and slowing digestion.All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast.This process certainly would be of help to ancient humans.However, in the modem world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic nerve system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response.This chemical is toxic(有毒的) in large amounts;it damages the organs such as the heart,lungs,liver and kidneys.It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart.There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death.Kidney failure,liver failure,those things don’t kill you suddenly.
By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result.There are people who have died in strong emotions.There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one,turned to his partner and said,“I can die now”一and then he dropped dead.For about seven days after the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, there was an increase of sudden cardiac death among New Yorkers.
51.Why was the man charged?
A.Because he was trying to kill an old woman.
B.Because he caused an old woman’s terror and she died.
C.Because he beat an old woman and caused her heart attack.
D.Because he murdered an old woman while robbing a bank.
52.The underlined word “felony” in Para.1 most probably means ___________.
A.new B.severe C.deadly D.organized
53.Which of the following about the fight-or-flight response is true?
A.The fight-or-flight response was not raised or proved yet.
B.It is a natural protective method that can only be found in humans.
C.The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modem ones.
D.The fight-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
54.What activity can we infer is less likely(可能的) to damage the organs?
A.Winning a big lottery(彩票). B.Missing a dead family.
C.Watching a horror movie D.Listening to a sweet song.
55.The purpose of the passage is _____________.
A.to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B.to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C.to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D.to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death
