26、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. 【1】
Stress is a natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. 【2】 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 responsibilities. 【3】 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. 【4】 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.
A.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.
B.In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be.
C.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.
D.They do not believe that relaxation is important for health.
E.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
F.Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.
27、 If you are like millions of other people in the world, you probably want to live a healthy lifestyle. While many people are able to achieve this lifestyle, there are even more that are looking for ways to improve their health. Here are 5 tips to help you.
1. Healthy diet
The food you eat plays a huge role in what type of lifestyle you live. If you eat fast food every day, you clearly don’t have the best diet. You should eat vegetables, fruits, bread as well as meat and fish, and even some snack foods once in a while.
2. Water
Drink plenty of water every day and it is good for your health. Usually you need to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
3. Exercise
Take some exercise every day. You can take a walk, play ball games with your friends, or ride a bike. Exercise is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle.
4. Have fun
Getting out and having fun is important because it helps let out much stress that is bottled up over the days. Go out to a movie with your friends once in a while. Go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. Or if you want more relaxation, take time away from your busy schedule (日程表) to lie down and read a book.
5. Sleep
Without enough sleep, our immune system (免疫系统) will be difficult to get through the day. Getting a good night’s sleep can make much difference in how you feel and how much you can do the next day.

28、 Rising numbers of older adults are unable to care for themselves, often leading to serious health problems and even death, according to state and local government agencies. So-called self-neglect cases generally involve the inability to perform basic self-care, such as providing oneself with food, personal health, medication and safety.
Seniors who no longer drive, for instance, are often unable to get to medical appointments, worsening health problems that can make them unable to care for themselves. A fall can result in body injuries leaving one bedridden and unable to care for oneself. Failure to pay bills for public services could lead to service cutoffs. Forgetting to pay rent could lead to the loss of a home.
Mr. Mc-Cormack, 75 years old, and his wife, 71, both had mental illness and stayed in hospitals from time to time, unable to care for their possessions. Despite repeated visits to their home by local officials, the Mc-Cormacks refused assistance. But after they were found living in their car parked outside their house in December 2017, officials removed them from their home and helped them settle in a nursing home.
Self-neglect cases, like above, involved 144, 296 people across the country in 2018, according to a report. The federal government doesn't have comparable data for previous years, but several state and local service providers say they are seeing the self-neglect problem rise.
The reasons seniors stop caring for themselves vary, including illness, depression and poverty. The loss of the spouse or a neighbor who previously kept an eye on an individual often starts a decline into self-neglect, experts say. And the key to reducing self-neglect cases is providing services to enable seniors to remain in their homes safely, such as reliable transportation for medical appointments and shopping, as well as affordable home help.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph 2?
A.Give examples of self-neglect cases. B.Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C.Arouse readers' interest. D.Summarize the previous paragraph.
【2】What can we infer about the Mc-Cormacks?
A.They accepted help from others. B.They took good care of themselves.
C.They ended up living in the nursing house. D.They couldn't afford to go to hospital.
【3】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Self-care benefits greatly the seniors.
B.Investigations are conducted on self-neglect.
C.Self-neglect rises among the elderly.
D.The government promotes self-care of the seniors.
【4】Where can the passage probably be found?
A.In a guidebook. B.In a newspaper.
C.In a fairy tale. D.In a science fiction.
29、Air-crash investigators Larry Vance and Anthony Brickhouse have details from certain jobs rooted in their memories. They could tell exact dates, locations, and fight numbers effortlessly. Vance’s “big one” is Swiss Air Flight 11 in 1998. He was put in the position of dealing with all the families from very early on, many of whom held the hope that their relatives could have survived. All 229 passengers and crew died. Burning fabric; burning flesh. The smell catches in your throat, and stays in your mind long after you’ve left the scene. Investigations can take anywhere from days to years.
“What can affect people in these jobs is the ongoing emotional damage,” said Vivien Lee, a psychologist. But mental health assistance is often lacking within the industry. Evidence suggests that investigators, like first responders, can suffer from negative emotional effects, including frequent thoughts and PTSD (创伤后应激障碍).
“One emotion of losing relatives is anger,” Brickhouse reflected. “And they’re looking to you to figure out what happened to their loved ones.” Depending on the size of the crash, that anger can come alongside a lot of international media attention.”
But more often, Vance said, the questions he faces are perhaps even tougher to answer than what caused the crash. “How did my loved one die? What were they feeling? What were they seeing?” And tougher still: “Were they suffering?”
Listening to the black box recordings takes an emotional damage. He said it was more unbearable by knowing that he’s listening to the final minutes of someone’s life. Some people in his industry listen to a black box recording once and choose to never do it again, he said.
The knowledge that they’re doing an essential job can make the tougher aspects of the work a little easier. “The end result of your work is that you try to make the world a safer place, so that this doesn’t happen to somebody else,” Vance said.
【1】What can be inferred about the air-crash investigators?
A.They often get throat problems.
B.They must have good memories.
C.They experienced the same accident.
D.They have to face many challenges.
【2】What should be done to help the air-crash investigators?
A.Helping them avoid air crashes.
B.Sending first respondents with them.
C.Offering qualified psychologists.
D.Teaching them how to communicate.
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to Vance’s words?
A.Making the world a safer place takes time.
B.Answering the relatives’ questions is tougher.
C.Investigating the cause of the crash is bearable.
D.Finding the black box takes an emotional damage.
【4】Which word can be used to describe the air-crash investigators?
A.Self-giving.
B.Easy-going.
C.Generous.
D.Independent.

Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it d【1】 feels good to be back in the city again.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事
In the farmers' market, there were many other stalls (摊位) with all kinds of food for sale as well as colourful rows of fruit and vegetables set out on tables. Cooked food stalls filled the air with the wonderful smells of hot tasty snacks, and the smell of fresh coffee was everywhere.
"Wow," Gus cried out, "Jam (果酱)!"
Just in front of him, there was a jam stall that sold all kinds of home-made jam. But the only kind Gus wanted was strawberry, so he bought a jar. He couldn't help but taste the jam immediately. It was OK, he frowned (皱眉) and shook his head, but never as good as Rose's, whose jam was just magic.
Rose was his neighbour, an elderly lady who lived alone but liked company now and again. Her doorbell was usually too quiet before Gus and his mom moved to the village after his father's death. Gus often rang her doorbell and asked whether she needed anything from the supermarket as he and his mother were going to town. In return, Rose would often give Gus a jar of jam. Gus was amazed how jam could be so delicious, so whenever free he would be at Rose's home watching her make the super jam.
Suddenly, an idea struck Gus. Probably he could try that to make some money and help his mum. He then bought a bag of potatoes for Rose for her kind offer of wonderful jam.
