第8题：
资料：Stress is a common factor in life. Children experience stress from school, new social situations and simply growing up. Adults feel the stress of working, paying bills, raising kids and maintaining households. Seniors also feel stress, even though some may have retired, raised their children and paid off their homes. Certain amounts of stress are a part of life for people of all ages.
For seniors, stress has the potential to be especially overwhelming. This type of tension in older adults has unique contributing factors, such as the loss of an elderly spouse or friends. Living alone can increase the sense of isolation. Sometimes the simple tasks of everyday life can cause stress in those who experience physical or medical limitations. The effects of stress can sometimes exacerbate health conditions from which some seniors suffer, causing additional worry.
Stress can be detected in various ways. You may follow the five most common ways to find out if a loved one’s stress is cause for concern:
1. Changes in eating habits, such as over-eating or loss of appetite, can be caused by overwhelming stress.
2. Mood swings due to stress may present in increased irritability, general sadness or depression.
3. Memory issues may arise in the form of increased forgetfulness of names, places or other things that normally come naturally. Lack of concentration may become a problem. Some seniors may exercise poor judgment, such as excessive spending when they are already on a limited budget.
4. Physical signs of stress can include body aches and pains or increased episodes of illness. Changes in sleeping patterns—either trouble falling asleep or interrupted nighttime sleep—can signal significant stress.
5. Seniors experiencing overwhelming stress often isolate themselves from others, refusing to socialize or participate in activities they used to enjoy.

第二篇
People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
"People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."When you try to calm yourself,you are actually trying to_________.
A:recall things you love
B:show you are angry
C:relieve your stress
D:breathe normally答案：C解析：推断题。第二段："People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.，…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰，更为乐观一些。“因此，原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗，降低免疫系统的疲劳程度，让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况，还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique．让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气，试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力）的方法。
推断题。第五段中提到：Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
推断题。第六段提到：Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain．不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出：如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害，那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
推断题。第七段提到：Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love．尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题，也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知，要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题，也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。 -

Joining a non-physical group activities, such as a bridge club or volunteering, offers socialization and a chance to clear the mind of daily responsibilities. There are also local agencies that can help with tasks that might cause undue stress for seniors. Respite care organizations can help with housework or grocery shopping. Religious organizations often have groups who can assist seniors with yard work or other strenuous tasks around the home.
The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone. With help, seniors can combat stress and its negative effects. Spend time helping seniors determine what burdens they face. Help them plan ways suited to their lifestyles that are not only fun but that can minimize the pressures stress can cause. By doing so, the quality of life seniors experience can increase, further paving the way for them to lead independent lives within the comfort of their own homes.
What does the author say about stress?A. Stress can be avoided.
B. Stress only has negative effects.
C. Stress is the result of daily burden.
D. Stress is a component of life.答案：D解析：态度题。作者对压力的看法在文中最后一段第一句有提到，“The fact that stress is a part of life does not mean that overwhelming stress is a burden seniors have to shoulder all alone.”可知作者认为压力是生活的一部分，但也表明压力并不是只有消极作用，B 项错误，A、C 项过于绝对，所以D 选项为正确答案。 -
第17题：
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 an natural part of everyday lift 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 adn 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,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.
In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_B_____.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"答案：B解析： -

第20题：
资料：Stress is a common factor in life. Children experience stress from school, new social situations and simply growing up. Adults feel the stress of working, paying bills, raising kids and maintaining households. Seniors also feel stress, even though some may have retired, raised their children and paid off their homes. Certain amounts of stress are a part of life for people of all ages.
For seniors, stress has the potential to be especially overwhelming. This type of tension in older adults has unique contributing factors, such as the loss of an elderly spouse or friends. Living alone can increase the sense of isolation. Sometimes the simple tasks of everyday life can cause stress in those who experience physical or medical limitations. The effects of stress can sometimes exacerbate health conditions from which some seniors suffer, causing additional worry.
Stress can be detected in various ways. You may follow the five most common ways to find out if a loved one’s stress is cause for concern:
1. Changes in eating habits, such as over-eating or loss of appetite, can be caused by overwhelming stress.
2. Mood swings due to stress may present in increased irritability, general sadness or depression.
3. Memory issues may arise in the form of increased forgetfulness of names, places or other things that normally come naturally. Lack of concentration may become a problem. Some seniors may exercise poor judgment, such as excessive spending when they are already on a limited budget.
4. Physical signs of stress can include body aches and pains or increased episodes of illness. Changes in sleeping patterns—either trouble falling asleep or interrupted nighttime sleep—can signal significant stress.
5. Seniors experiencing overwhelming stress often isolate themselves from others, refusing to socialize or participate in activities they used to enjoy.
Which of the following is NOT true about stress according to the passage?A.Changing schools may cause children’s stress.
B.Seniors would feel stress of paying mortgage.
C.Grown-ups would get stress from raising kids.
D.Loss of a friend may be the source of stress for seniors.答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。

People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
"People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."Your offender may not want to apologize because_________.
A:they are afraid that they won't be forgiven
B:they don't even realize they had hurt you
C:they don't share the same feeling with you
D:they think that time can heal any wound答案：C解析：推断题。第二段："People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.，…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰，更为乐观一些。“因此，原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗，降低免疫系统的疲劳程度，让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况，还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique．让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气，试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力）的方法。
推断题。第五段中提到：Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
推断题。第六段提到：Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain．不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出：如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害，那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
推断题。第七段提到：Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love．尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题，也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知，要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题，也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。 -
