| The first weeks were a bit hard.Loneliness wasn't the problem-I was in constant contact with clients by email and phone.But I did feel claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的)．With wheels on my desk chair and the refrigerator just two feet away,I could work for twelve straight hours without ever standing up.There was no physical separation between my living room and work table,so the only way I found to feel like I was going "home" at the end of the day was to forbid my use of the working chair.At ninethirty at night, when I turned my computer off,I felt a bit like the family dog reaching the high point of its day,"Whoohoo! I get to go for a walk!" Then,around eleventhirty,I'd find myself turning on the computer again to solve some work issue that was preoccupying me... At the same time,I discovered that working this way had definite advantages.Not only did I save an hour from going to work and back home,I also gained a great deal of control over my time.There were fewer interruptions than in an office,I could schedule meetings and phone calls in blocks to increase the productive time around them,and the easy access to my workspace late at night and on weekends could obviously be of mixed effects.This was especially important to me since,in addition to consulting work,I was writing fiction and planning a new business.Working at home allowed me to manage all of these activities at once without losing significant sleep.This turned out to be well worth the claustrophobia,which also faded as I became more used to the new routine.A short walk in the late afternoon could reduce the shutin feeling and make me get energetic again to work through the evening. You might think that,with all this added time flexibility,I would even find a few hours to clean my apartment,but,unfortunately,this never happened. |
| 1．The writer felt claustrophobic because________. |
| A．she was lonely B．she worked long hours C．she couldn't go for a walk D．she worked alone for long |
| 2．Where does the writer work? |
| A．In her own home. B．In an office. C．In a hospital. D．At a newspaper. |
| 3．What does the writer think of working late at night and on weekends? |
| A．It was convenient for her. B．It had advantages and disadvantages. C．She didn't like it at all. D．She enjoyed working late. |
| 4．What's the writer's general attitude towards her work? |
| A．She didn't like it very much. B．She enjoyed doing her work. C．It allowed her little spare time. D．It was too hard for her. |

| Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess,if they are properly used.If fire did not hurt when it burnt,children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly,if pain existed but fear did not,a child would burn itself again and again,because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before.A really fearless soldier-and some do exist-is not a good soldier because he is soon killed；and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used.If,for example,you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car,you are letting fear rule you too much.Even in your house you are not absolutely safe:a plane may crash on your house,or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof,and they later may fall on you,or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you,but instead to use fear as your servant and guide.Fear will warn you of dangers；then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases,you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger.For example,you see a car coming straight towards you；fear warns you,you jump out of the way,and all is OK. In some cases,however,you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.For example,you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house,and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants.In this case,fear has given you its warning；you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you,and you have to try to overcome it. |
| 1．Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if________. |
| A．they were given no warning beforehand B．they didn't have any sense of pain at all C．they had never burnt themselves D．they felt afraid of the fire |
| 2．A really fearless soldier________. |
| A．is of a little use to his army B．is not afraid of battles at all C．is nothing but a dead soldier D．is easy to get killed in a battle |
| 3．People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because________. |
| A．they are warned of the danger and take quick action B．they are quick both in mind and in action C．they are calm in face of danger D．they have gained much experience |
| 4．It is implied but not stated that________. |
| A．fear is always something helpful B．too much fear is harmful C．fear should be used as a servant and guide D．fear is something strange and particular |

A British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their overamorous farewells.  Commuters have been told:if you want to get up to that kind of business,do it in the car park. The sign has been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington,between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England. A similar sign,this time permitting kissing,has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is considered tolerable. "We have not banned kissing in the station," said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail. "But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy. The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly.If people wish to spend a little more time with their loved ones before they leave,then they should park in the shortstay car park nearby." The busy station links the town with the major cities London,Birmingham,Glasgow,Edinburgh,Liverpool and Manchester. However,one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks.High Wycombe,northwest of London,is having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public. "Kissing is welcome here!...we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster  of a cartoon couple embracing,framed by a pink heart."Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen Roberts on from Chiltern Railways."They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place,where relationships start with a glance and even,in the case of our Marylebone station last November where one passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system." "So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations." |
| 1．The train station has put up a no kissing sign in order to________. |
| A．ban kissing in the station B．get passengers to walk quickly C．avoid embarrassment D．prevent illegal practice |
| 2．The underlined word "it" here refers to________. |
| A．rescuing love from the tracks B．banning kissing in the station C．kissing at the dropoff point D．kissing in the car park |
| 3．We learn that in High Wycombe________. |
| A．kissing is encouraged B．kissing is forbidden C．kissing is intolerable D．kissing is limited to a certain time |
| 4．We can infer that________. |
| A．the dropoff point is not a safe place B．the dropoff point is a quiet place C．the dropoff point is a romantic place D．the dropoff point is often packed with the traffic and passengers |

| Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.1.________ The scientists say that the human life h  as changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.2.________So they are called "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of th  e blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the N  ew Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.3.________However,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
