As the pace of life continues to increase in modern society, 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 very 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 one with 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. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it in order to stay healthy in mind and body.

（46）Some people seem to be better in learning languages.（47）They can pick new vocabulary, master rules or grammars, and learn to write in the new language quicker than others.（48）They do not seem to be any more brighter than others,（49）so what makes language such easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful learners are independent. They（50）do not depend on the book and the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to understand the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers（51）finding clues hard and form their own conclusions. When（52）they guess wrong, they guess others time. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active. Therefore, successful learners look for chances to use the language（53）actively. They find people speak the language and ask them to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or say strange（54）things. They can also receive information that is inexact （55）or incomplete if a communication is difficult.46. 47. 48. 49.50.51.52.53.54.55.

Heroin addiction today is found chiefly among young men of minority groups in ghetto(贫民区) areas. Of the more than 60,000 known addicts, more than half live in New York State. Most of them live in New York City. Recent figures show that more than half of the addicts are under 30 years of age.Narcotic(麻醉的) addiction in the United States is not limited to heroin users. Some middle-aged and older people who take narcotic drugs regularly to relieve pain can also become addicted. So do some people who can get drugs easily, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Studies show that this type of addict has personality and emotional problems very similar to those of other regular narcotic users.Many addicts admit that getting a continued supply is the main object of their lives. An addict’s concentration on getting drugs often prevents continuing an education or working at a job. His health is often poor. He may be sick one day from the effects of withdrawal and sick the next from an overdose. Statistics show that an addict’s life span may be shortened by 15 to 20 years. The addict is usually in trouble with his family and almost always in trouble with the law.Some studies suggest that many of the known narcotic addicts had some trouble with the law before they became addicted. Once addicted, they may become even more involved with crime because it costs so much to support the heroin habit.Most authorities agree that the addict’s involvement with crime is not a direct effect of the drug itself. Turning to crime is usually the only way to get that much money. The addicts’ crimes are nearly always thefts or other crimes against property.Federal penalties for illegal narcotics usage were established under the Harrison Act of 1914. The Act provides that illegal possession of narcotics is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. Sentences can range from 2 to 10 years for the first offence, 5 to 20 years for the second, and 10 to 20 years for further offenses.Illegal sale of narcotics can mean a fine of $20,000 and a sentence from 20 to 40 years for later offenses. A person who sells narcotics to someone under 18 is refused parole and probation, even for the first offense. If the drug is heroin, he can be sentenced to life imprisonment or to death.42. What is the topic of this passage?43. According to the author, how can the addicts get money for drugs?44. According to the author, who can get narcotic easily?45. A person who sells heroin to a kid can be（）.

Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business world’s favorite academic title; the MBA (Master of Business Administration).The MBA, a 20th-century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993. This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the wide spread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day.“If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one,” said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. “But in the last five years or so, when someone says, ‘Should I attempt to get an MBA’, the answer a lot more is: It depends.”The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders.The article called MBA hires “extremely disappointing” and said “MBAs want to move up too fast, they don’t understand politics and people, and they aren’t able to function as part of a team until their third year. But by then, they’re out looking for other jobs.”The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura of future riches and power far beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollment in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do without one. The growth was fueled by a backlash against the anti-business values of the 1960s and by the women’s movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees of ten know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. “They don’t get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business”, said James Shaffer, vice-president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.38. It seems that the controversy over the value of MBA degrees had been fueled mainly by（）.39. What is the major weakness of MBA holders according to the Harvard Business Review?40. From the passage we know that most MBAs（）.41. What is the passage mainly about?

Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by computation. Word processors and typists will lose about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own memos and carry their “secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68,000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecom business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $ 64,000 per year. Of course, if you’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation to know that the telecomm field is booming.And that’s just it: The service economy is fading; welcome to the expertise economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations — air-traffic controller — demand at least a bachelor’s degree.For those with just a high school diploma, it’s going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available, what’s left will be the jobs that computation can’t kill: Computers can’t clean offices, or care for Alzheimer’s patients. But, since most people have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low, meaning computation could drive an even deeper wedge between the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop learning, and keep up with new technology.For busy adults, of course, that can be tough. The good news is that the very technology that’s reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to school — without having to sit in a classroom. So-called Internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled, and it’s gaining credibility with employers.Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer? Check the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at bls.gov.34. From the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT（）.35. By saying“...computation could drive an even deeper wedge between the rich and poor” (Para.4) the author means（）.36. What is the author’s attitude towards computers?37. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?

How can a company improve its sales? One of the keys to more effective selling is for a company to first decide on its “sales strategy.” In other words, what is the role of the sales person? Is the salesperson’s job narrative, suggestive or consultative?The “narrative” sales strategy depends on the salesperson moving quickly into a standard sales presentation. His or her pitch highlights the benefits for the customer of a particular product or service. This approach is most effective for customers whose buying motives are basically the same and is also well suited to companies who have a large number of prospects(可能的主顾) on which to call.The “suggestive” approach is tailored more for the individual customer. The salesperson must be in a position to offer alternative recommendations that meet a particular customer’s needs. One key aspect of the suggestive approach is the need for the salesperson to engage the buyer in some sort of discussion. The salesperson can use the information gleaned from the customer to suggest an appropriate product or service.“We tell our salespeople to be like wine stewards.” says Mindy Shawnee, a corporate sales trainer, “the wine steward first checks to see what food the customer has ordered and then opens by suggesting the wine that best complements the dish. Most companies who use a narrative strategy should be using a suggestive strategy. Just like you can’t drink red wine with every dish, you can’t have one sales recommendation to suit all customers.”The final strategy demands that a company’s sales staff act as “consultants’’ for the buyer. In this role, the salesperson must acquire a great deal of information about the customer. They do this through market research, surveys, and face-to-face discussions. Using this information, the salesperson makes a detailed presentation tailored specifically to a customer’s needs.“Good sales consultants,” says Alan Goldfarb, president of AD Pro, Inc., “are the people who use a wide range of skills including probing, listening, analysis, and persuasiveness. The best sales consultants, however, are the ones who can think outside the box and use their creativity to present a product and close the sale. The other skills you can teach. Creativity is innate. It’s something we look for in every employee we hire.”More and more sales teams are switching from a narrative or suggestive approach to a more consultative strategy. As a result, corporations are looking more at intangibles such as creativity and analytical skills and less at less at educational background and technical skills.“The next century will be about meeting individual customer needs.” says Goldfarb, “the days of one size fits all are over.”30. Mindy compares salespeople to wine stewards in that（）.31. The biggest challenge for a consultative salesperson is（）.32. According to Alan, creativity in salespeople（）.33. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Organic architecture—that is, natural architecture—may be varied in concept and form, but it is always faithful to natural principles. Organic architecture rejects rules imposed by individual preference or mere aesthetics in order to remain true to the nature of the site, the materials, the purpose of the structure, and the people who will ultimately use it. If these natural principles are upheld, then a bank cannot be built to look like a Greek temple. Form does not follow function; form is inseparable from function. In other words, a building should be inspired by nature’s forms and constructed with materials that retain and respect the natural characteristics of the setting to create harmony with its natural environment. It should maximize people’s contact with and utilization of the outdoors.Natural principles then are principles of design, not style, expressed by construction that reflects unity, balance, proportion, rhythm, and scale. Like a sculptor, the organic architect views the site and materials as an innate form that shapes and develops organically from within. Truth in architecture results in a natural, spontaneous structure in total harmony with the setting. For the most part, these structures find their geometric themes in the contours of the land and their colors in the surrounding palette of nature.From the outside, an organic structure is so much a part of nature that it is often obscured by it. In other words, it may not be possible for the eye to easily separate the man-made structure from the natural terrain. From the inside, rooms open into each other. Natural light, air, and view permeate the whole structure, providing a sense of communication with the outdoors.26. In organic architecture, which of the following is true?27. A good example of natural principles is a（）.28. Why does the author compare an organic architect to a sculptor?29. Which of the following statements best describes the architect’s view of nature?
