Passage 11
Many people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 21 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.
Many of us think 22 stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us 23 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 24 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to 25 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not.
很多人认同压力是现代生活的一个主要问题。很明确，担忧和争吵会导致各种疾病，从背疼到严重的头痛，甚至是更严重的病患，比如高血压。
我们中有很多人认为压力是别人强加给我们的东西。我们经常抱怨别人如何给我们压力。但我们应该试图使这些压力不影响我们。我们不应忘记我们很大程度上自己在为自己制造压力。我们有时候接受了超过我们的身体和心理所能应付的工作。我们要学会接受自己的有限性。我们应该知晓什么东西真正重要，什么东西不重要。

Passage 12
Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places 21 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made 22 concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean.
Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. 23 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more 24 in large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow 25 the areas that animals live in.
现代动物园与50年前的很不一样。50年前，动物园是可以看到世界各地动物的一个地方。动物们住在钢筋混凝土建造的笼子里，笼子容易清理。
对于动物们很不幸的是，笼子太小无处可藏。动物园的环境一点也不天然。虽然动物园的员工照顾和喂养动物都很好，但动物们还是没有兴旺。他们行为怪异，常常生病。 在现代动物园中，人们能够能够看到动物表现出更多天然的习性。人们给动物提供广阔的场地和更多的自由，所以动物们可以像在自然环境中一样舒适的生活。甚至连动物园的外观也进行了改善。笼子中种了树和草，小溪流过动物们居住的地方。

“No, no,” Tom, one of the three men, said, “No, thank you. We do not want to sleep in the hall. We shall walk up to our room.”
Then he turned to his two friends and said, “It is not easy to walk up to the fiftieth floor, but I know ___23___make it easier. On our way to the room, I shall tell you some jokes, then you, Andy, sing us some songs, then you,Peter, tell us some interesting stories.” “All right. That's a good idea,” the friends both agreed.

“很抱歉”旅馆服务员说“今晚我们的电梯坏了，如果你们不想回房间的话，我们可以在大厅为你们安排床位。” “不用，不用”，汤姆，三人中的一个男人说：“不，谢谢你，我们不想睡在大厅，我们回房间”.

他们开始步行到他们的房间，汤姆讲了很多笑话，安迪唱了一些歌，最后，他们来到了三十八层。他们累了，决定休息一下。
“好吧，”汤姆说“现在该你了，彼得，我们说了这么多笑话，唱了这么多歌，你能不能给我们讲一个带着悲伤结局的真实故事？” “好的”彼得说，“我给你讲一个故事，它很短，但是足够是人伤悲。就在刚才我将钥匙落在了大厅” 21. A. At last B. late C. Their D. but E. how to 22. A. At last B. late C.

Passage 14
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore 21 to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.
Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 22 illustrates this. When he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought that they would not expect too much of him. 23 this way, they too developed the idea, \their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 24 of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new 25 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.
有个人，他总认为自己不够能干，也不愿意多努力，因为他认为这都是没用的。他没有足够的信心去获得一份工作。因此，他总容易失败，失败同时让他更没有信心
Alfred Adler，一个著名的医生，曾经有经验说明这个道理。当他还是个小男孩时，他在数学方面很差，他的老师认为他在数学上没有天赋，并告诉他父母不要对他期待太高。他们也认同这个观点。这不是太糟糕，Alfred Adler不能做数学？他接受了他们关于他能力的错误判断，觉得再努力也是没用的，因此，正如他们所期待的，在数学上就很差。
有一天，Adler成功解决了一个其他学生都不会解决的问题。这给了他信息，他开始反对关于他做不好数学的判断，决心去证明他可以做到。他的新看法，增强了他对做好数学的信心，他现在凭借着兴趣、决心和目标去工作，不久后，在数学上取得较大的成就。 21 A. found B. none C. likely D. In E. Which 22 A. found B. none C. likely D.

Passage 15
Without time to relex and have fine ,kids can suffer stress just like adults ,warn exports-who say as many as one in four youngsters have symptoms of burnout (过度劳累). More and more parents are pushing their kids to be busy in structured activities all the time. Many of these activities for children aren't recreational (娱乐的) ___21___involve competition. The kids are pushed to win, not just participate, and this can cause stress . Today's parents have
the___22___that children who don't pursue a lot outside activities will be left behind .Parents are in a panic because they know it's a___23___world out there. They are running scared to be sure their kids can go into the marketplace and compete as adults, but___24___some cases they are missing the big picture. Kids who are unhappy and depressed grow up to be unhappy, depressed adults who don't do well in their jobs or personal life. And these kids won't know as adults how to relax. Everyone needs time just to relax and refresh. When you're not stressed, you can be___25___productive. That's why it's important to help your child find a balance.
专家警告说，如果没有时间放松，没有娱乐，孩子会像大人一样感到过分的紧张。据说，每四个孩子中就有一个有过于疲劳的症状。越来越多的父母让孩子整天在严格安排的活动中忙碌。而这些孩子们的活动许多都富有竞争性，而不是娱乐性的。孩子们不光被迫去参加，还要被迫去“取胜”，这就会造成过分的紧张。如今的父母认为，孩子如果不参加许多课外活动就会落后。父母很恐慌，因为他们知道现实生活是很残酷的。他们十分紧张，想让孩子长大后能够进入市场竞争。但是在这种情况下，他们会因小失大。
从小不幸福、性格抑郁的孩子长大后不会幸福，性格也会抑郁。这样的成人工作也干不好，生活也过不好。这类孩子不知道如何像成人那样放松自己。人人都需要时间放松、调整。只有在你不紧张的时候才会更有创造力。因此帮助你的孩子保持身心平衡是很重要的。

人类的语言是一种符号系统。动物不需要必须学会复杂的语言系统，动物语言在很大程度上是出于本能，而人类的基本语言是需要学习的语言，由一些象征性的声音，观点，行动之类的组成。
我们学会了阅读，往往具有相当的理解能力，是通过字母组合、拼读实现的。我们通过更大努力，学会书写，学习字母组成，用字母符号，并把他们写在纸上，以便其他人知道我们说的是什么。自从人类行为形成语言后，就没有什么事情是抽象的了，它起源于人类的行为，同时不断传承。英语有60万个声音形成，有可能会更多，但其中的大多数很少使用。
