Make Stress Work for You

Stress can come from all directions. We live in a world filled with stress. Rather than only looking for ways to change the stress-filled situations, look for stress that can work for you. The following are suggestions to make stress work in your favor.

【1】    . Colors of the walls, floor coverings, and furniture can reduce stress. Cooling greens and blues are positive colors that can reduce stress and create a sense of well-being.

【2】    . Take time to recognize signs of stress like anger, work and sleep habits. As you understand these signs, you are beginning to know how to make stress work.

【3】  . We can accept what we cannot change by changing what we can. Make choices that are realistic, not beyond your ability.

【4】   . Find out what your strengths are and focus on taking the time to do a project built on them. If you take on too many projects, you will most probably lose control and meet with new stress.

【5】  . Laughing at oneself can bring less stress from the inside. And laughing creates less wrinkles（皱纹）than worrying.

A. Stop and look at yourself

B. Don’t say yes to everything

C. Accept what cannot be changed

D. Create environments that reduce stress

E. Develop a sense of humour

F. Leave time for the unexpected

24、   To move visual technology into the future,  sometimes it helps to make a little noise.

Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images,  create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.

Since the 1940s,  scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation（声悬浮）the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3- D printing methods,  or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.

Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back——a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there Soundwaves create a 3-d display!

Display without a screen is remarkably useful.  It means that everybody in the room can see the image——any angle, location——and that's extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection（投影）of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.

The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room however.  So far,  this has been done in the research laboratory.  We need to push it a little bit harder.  We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.  The current system can only show simple graphics,  such as a smiley face or figure eight,  in real time.

Still,  we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.  If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,  it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself.  We can't make a TV image that's bigger than the TV --- even a projector has to have a projection screen that's bigger than the image itself.  But with a volumetric（容积的）display, a small,  portable device might produce a much larger picture.  We can imagine in the future, having volumetric displays in watches,  for example,  that create large images that just project out of your watch

【1】From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to________ .

A.catch very small objects in mid air B.develop 3-D printer's capabilities

C.replace a creative display screen D.compose soundtracks by making no noise

【2】What do we know about display without a screen?

A.It has resulted in visual technology. B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.

C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home. D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Outlooks for the new technology. B.Situations of the modern technology.

C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology. D.Room for the technical improvement.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Hearing Is Seeing——Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display

B.Seeing is Believing——3-D Printing Methods Arrive

C.Advancing Sense of Touch——3-D Images Float in the Air

D.Promoting TV Technology—— Chat with 3-D Projections

26、Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会),have a small, low-fat snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose the meat with less fat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.

【1】Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ____________.

A. bring weight problems   B. bring you much trouble in your life

C. make you worried about your foods   D. make you hate delicious foods

【2】Many people can't help putting on weight after the holidays because they____________.

On March 14, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking（史蒂芬·霍金）, the world-famous British scientist, p【1】away at 76 in Cambridge, UK.

Hawking is considered by many to be the g【2】 scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe (宇宙) began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. He also wrote books to help c【3】 people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time (《时间简史》), which has sold more than 10 million c【4】 around the world.

When Hawking was 21, he was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious illness that prevented him from w【5】and talking. B【6】 this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled (身体残疾), one c【7】 afford to be psychologically disabled(心理残疾) as well,” he once said.

He celebrated his s【8】 birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel i【9】 space one day.

In 2013, Hawking spoke about h【10】 he felt life was unfair（不公平的）when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.

29、A Michigan boy Colin said he didn’t want to hold his 11th birthday party because he had no friends. This week Colin and his family went to a restaurant for dinner. They saw the players and coaches of the Kalamazoo Wings and felt surprised they were there.
