Long long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电)。But they had to keep the fire
burning, for
they couldn' t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting
two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry
leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also
learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put
a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few
minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used
the heat from
sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people
a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people

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 life, being on the go from morning
till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for ahealthy 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 is it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress
is vital to provide 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.
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 responsilities, others lose heart at the first sign of
unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both
chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and
in more primitive days the choices 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. Since we can't 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.
6. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation

D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before

his_____.

A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B. Stress is always harmful to people's health.
C. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
9. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to____.
A."expose ourselves to stress"
B. "find ways to deal with stress"
C. "remove stress from our lives"
D. "establish links between diseases and stress"
10. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.

（三）
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better
at some schoolsubjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in
your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.
A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work .So it is important
to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or
weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not
all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge
of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects
you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can
be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which
you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery(是饪术)and look
for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained
from it. If
nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions
and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in
a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular
industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs
when you handle(运用)tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column
of figures. It is bitter to
face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for
instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You
should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance
of a fresh start at work..
11. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?_____.
A. The importance of doing well at school.
B. Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C. The importance of being good at all subjects.
D. The indirect value of schoolwork.
12. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably_____.
A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study
B. useful for his future work
C. a good way to earn extra money
D. a good way to find out his weak points
13. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he____.
A. will be a complete failure in his future work
B. will not be able to find a suitable job
C. will regret not having worked harder at school
D. may do well in his future work
14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?
A. Mathematics.
B. English.
C. Technical drawing.
D. History.
15. The whole passage centers on _____
A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
C. finding one’s strong and weak points
D. developing one’s abilities useful in school work

may become interestedin a particular industry or career you see from the inside
in a part-time job。可知做兼职工作对我们的未来工作是非常有帮助的。
13.[答案]D[解析]推理题。根据文章最后一段可知在学校成绩不好，这样也可以暴露自己
的弱点，留给自己机会去改正，这样在未来的工作中仍然是有机会取得进步的。
14.[答案]D[解析]细节题。第一段倒数 3,4 行 Knowledge of history is not required for
most jobs 可知历史这一学科对于工作是没有直接的影响的，故 D 正确。

业。故 A 正确。

American society is not nap(午睡)-friendly. In fact,says David Dinges, a sleep
specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“There's even a
prohibition against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping
or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb:"Some sleep five hours, nature requires
seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven."
Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“ We
have to totally change our attitude toward napping,”says Dr. William Dement of
Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“ American sleep debt”
which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was
concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or
falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the
White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a
ha1f-hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have
"a midafternoon quiet phase," also called“a secondary sleep gate.”Sleeping 15
minutes to two hours inthe early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed.
Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night
shift.Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we
feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors
and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums。
16. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is______.
A. unreasonable
B. criminal
C. harmful
D. costly
17. The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans_____.
A. don't like to take naps
B. are terribly worried about their national debt
C. sleep less than is good for them
D. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
18. The purpose of this article is to
A. warn us of the wickedness of napping_____.
B. explain the danger of sleepiness
C. discuss the side effects of napping
D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping
19. The underlined phrase“ American sleep debt”in Para. 3 is the result of______.
A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
C. the rapid development of American industry
D. the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
20. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is_______
