In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’’s magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many -- like the death of a loved one--are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. The studies on stress in the early 1970’’s led to ________. A．widespread concern over its harmful effectsB．great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC．an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD．popular avoidance of stressful jobs

Do you ever blend up a protein drink for breakfast, or grab a protein bar following an afternoon workout? If so, you are likely among the millions of people in search of more protein-rich diets.Protein-enriched products are found everywhere. But contrary to all the publicity that everyone needs more protein, most Americans get twice as much as they need.Many of us living in the most developed countries are buying into a myth of protein deficiency created by food companies and self-identified health experts. Global retail sales of protein supplement products reached an astonishing US18.9 billion in 2020.But are we really in need of more protein? Physicians in the U.S. have never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency because simply by eating an adequate number of daily calories we are also most likely getting enough protein.In fact, Americans currently consume almost twice the National Academy of Medicine’s recommended daily intake of protein although the most desirable protein intake may vary depending on age and activity level.For example, if you’re a dedicated athlete you might need to consume higher quantities of protein. Generally, though, a 140-pound person should not exceed 120 grams of protein per day, particularly because a high protein diet can strain kidney and liver function and increase risks of developing heart disease and cancer.While fats and sugar have taken the beating in turns since over a century ago, protein has managed to remain our red-hot favorite.In the 1970s through the 1990s, protein products remained visible but moved back somewhat with the dietary spotlight firmly fixed on low-calorie, low-fat, sugar-free snack foods and beverages following the publication of studies linking sugar and saturated (饱和的) fat consumption to heart disease.Later research in 2003, however, suggested high-protein diets could aid in weight loss, and protein quickly regained its former nutrient-superstar status.Now most people living in high-income nations are consuming enough protein. When we replace meals with a protein bar or drink, we also risk missing out on the rich sources of antioxidants (抗氧化剂), vitamins and many other benefits of real food.51. What do we learn about publicity over protein in America?A) It has helped to create the myth of protein deficiency.B) It has helped Americans in search of protein-rich diets.C) It has raised a lot of health concerns among the public.D) It has been funded by food companies and health experts.

阅读理解Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I would say "sorry, I am a stranger here."Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书)showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed(尴尬的)I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!(1)The writer always refuses to give people directions because ________.A.she is a stranger to the cityB.she doesn't know the peopleC.she has no time to help othersD.she's afraid of giving wrong directions(2)A man stopped the writer on the way to ________.A.sell her something B.ask her the time C.make friends with her D.ask for the direction(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The writer is too shy to give others directions.B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction.C.The writer never got lost when she was young.D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.We all know that the British people love their manners. They are part of their national identity(特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they said "sorry" up to eight times a day.After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative(保守的)country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying "please" and "thank you" is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say "please".Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think.(1)What don't the British people often do?A.Eat fish and chips.B.Have no quite good manners.C.Be polite to others.D.Talk about the weather.(2)What do the British people say up to eight times every day?A.Hello. B.Thank you. C.I don't know. D.Sorry.(3)What does the underlined word "pretending" mean in Chinese?A.打算 B.假装 C.想象 D.体验(4)What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite? ①The upper classes should have good manners. ②They have learned much about politeness at school. ③They like to hold back their true feelings. ④They are not honest at all.A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④Parents used to be only parents many years ago. But in fact parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally(感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force(强迫)their child to love science too. But what if(要是……又怎样)their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair?Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.(1)Parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own, according to the text.A.looks B.interests C.habits D.jobs in the future(2)When children get older, they ________.A.don't believe their parents any moreB.Should always believe what their parents doC.believe that their parents are always rightD.begin to have their own ways of thinking(3)What is the best title of the text?A.Never Grow UpB.elieve Your Parents ForeverC.Are Parents Always the Best TeachersD.How Many Teachers Can We Have in Our LivesA trip to Seoul, South Korea(韩国)Day 1Our guide will meet you at Incheon International Airport(仁川国际机场)in the morning.

And she also won a national model teacher.Zhi began teaching at a primary school. An old classmate invited her to a new school in Niyang village soon after that. The village is about 1,000 meters high, and it is 45 km from the nearest town. It was over 200 km from her home. Although her family disagreed with her, she still decided to go.The school is in great need of all kinds of school things. Zhi had to grow vegetables herself because the village is short of food. Walking along the terrible mountain roads, she and some other teachers often carries textbooks and other things into the mountains.The film was made last year, and its team expected to show our country's education and improve the good points a teacher should have.

You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you'd stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time—you did it!Now, the next step-walking. You'd seen others do it. It didn't look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong-more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again and again, you understood how to walk.If people found you walking, they cheered. "Oh, look at what the kid is doing." This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child—how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself.So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.(1)What is the first step in learning to walk?(不超过15个词)________(2)When did you understand how to walk?(不超过15个词)________(3)What should you do if you want to succeed in doing something?(不超过15个词)________.

阅读理解 　　Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we“fit”in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on. 　　The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consisits of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly. 　　A status has been compared to ready－made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hinduprince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Further more, our choice is limits to a size that will fit, as well as by out pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited. 1．In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us ________. [　　] A．determine whether a person is fit for a certain job B．behave appropriately in relation to other people C．protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations D．make friends with other people 2．According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ________. [　　] A．in order to identify themselves with others B．in order to better identify others C．as their mental processes change D．as the situation changes 3．The word“appraisal”(Para. 2, Line 7) most probably means“ ________ ”. [　　] A．involvement B．appreciation C．assessment D．presentation 4．In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun“it”refers to“ ________ ”. [　　] A．fitting our actions to shose of other people appropriately B．identification of other people’s statuses C．selecting one’s own statuses D．constant mental process 5．By saying that“an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince”(Para. 3, Lines 2－3), the writer means ________. [　　] A．different people have different styles of clothes B．ready－made clothes may need alterations C．statuses come ready made just like clothes D．our choice of statuses is limited
