One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would he bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 1 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 2 and landed in the grass about ten feet away from him. My 3 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. As I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me. We talked all the way home. He turned out to be a pretty 4 kid. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends Kyle was the top student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. He had to prepare a speech for 5 . On the graduation day, I could see that he was 6 about his speech. So, I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me and smiled. At graduation, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to 7 those who helped you make it through those 8 years. Your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with 9 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 10 himself over the weekend and was carrying his stuff home. He looked at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate (低估) the 11 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 12 a person's life. For better or for worse.

| Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful.

| 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. 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 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 healthy. 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. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. 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 is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. 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. |
| 1. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. |
| A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C. they are travelling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work |
| 2. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________. |
| A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxation C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance |
| 3. Which of the following statements is true? |
| A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. B. Stress is always harmful to people. C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress. |
| 4. In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______. |
| A. "making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'" B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically" C. "responding to crises quickly" D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties" |
| 5. 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. "established links between diseases and stress" |
