For some, however, symptoms (症状 ) are severe enough to damage their lives and to causeconsiderable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. Thesymptoms ten
4、d to start from around September each year lastinguntil April, but are at their worst in the darkest months.The standard figure says that around 2% of people in NorthernEurope suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up withmilder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发 生 率 )increases with dis
5、tance from the equator (赤 道 ), except wherethere is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. Morewomen than men are found having SAD. Children and young peoplecan also suffer from it.The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter.Researchers have proved that bright light makes a d
6、ifferenceto the brain chemistry, although the exact means by whichsufferers are affected is not yet known.As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to bein bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similarbright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whetherskiing or somewhe
7、re hot, is indeed a cure). The preferredlevel of light is about as bright as a spring morning on aclear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox,allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms.The user does not have
8、to stare at the light, but can watch TVor read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes.OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all inline with the research findings from medical and academicfacilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOMETRIAL SYSTEM.1. What happens t

12、 to 10 are based on the following passage:Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especiallyyoung people have become aware of the need to change theireating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularlyprocessed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently,there has been a growing
13、 interest in natural foods.Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grainwhich have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有 机 的 )matter, in simple terms, this means that the soil has beennourished (滋 养 ) by unused vegetable matter, which provides itwith essential vitamins (维 生 素 )
14、and minerals. This in itselfis a natural process compared with the use of chemicals andfertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase thequantity but not the quality of foods grown incommercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed tofeed and move freely in
15、healthy farms. Compare this with whathappens in the mass production of poultry: there are batteryfarms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowdedtogether in one building and are fed on food which is littlebetter than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not onlytasteless as food; they
16、also produce eggs which lack importantvitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are nowreceiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, forexample, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey,can be used to swee
17、ten food if this is necessary, we can infact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself.But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadilyover the last two centuries and in Britain today each personconsumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does isprovide us with
18、energy, in the form of calories. There are novitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber.6.

20、riter s attitude towards chickens fed onbattery farms?A、 Supportive.B、 Doubtful.C、 Hopeful.D、 Negative.9. What is the most important point the writer wants to makeabout sugar?A、 People use it to sweeten food.B、 It gives us much-needed energy.C、 People take too much of it.D、 It is actually a kind of
21、honey.10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“ diet” (Paragraph 4)?A、 “ food”B、 “ rice”C、 “ animals”D、 “ agriculture”Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Friends play an important part in our lives, and although wemay take the friendship for granted,
22、 we often don t clearlyunderstand how we make friends. While we get on well with anumber of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about 6 perperson. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two peoplelike one another and enjoy being togethe
23、r, but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for theirshared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people wetake into account things like age, race, economic condition,social position, and intelligence. Although these factors arenot of prime importance, it is more dif
24、ficult to get on withpeople when there is a marked difference in age andbackground.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument anddiscussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similarideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common they often talk about “ being on the sam
25、e wavelength” . Itgenerally takes time to reach this point. And the moreintimately involved people become, the more they rely on oneanother. People want to do friends favors and hate to break apromise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up withannoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinio
26、n.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremoniesto strengthen the association between two people. But thesupporting and understanding of each other that results fromshared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerfulbond, which can overcome differences in background, and br
27、eakdown barriers of age, class or race.11.

30、ace.B、 Similarities in age and background.C、 Similarities in habits and beliefs.D、 Similarities in opinion and feelings.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A、 Friends and FriendshipB、 Marriage and FriendshipC、 Benefits from FriendsD、 The Art of Making FriendsPassage FourQues
31、tions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharplyseparated and where many household tasks are shared to agreater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hardto maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisionsmakes for e
32、quality and this in turn leads to further sharing.In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to acceptequality more easily than did their parents and to preparemore fully for participation in a world characterized bycooperation rather by the “ battle of the sexes” .If the process goes too far an
33、d man s role is regarded asless important and that has happened in some cases we are asbadly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the Americanfamily. We are getting a little tired of “ Monism” but wedon t want to exchange it for a “ neo-Popism” . What we need,
34、rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involvesa partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists,psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the familyare becoming more aware of the part men play and that theyhave decided that women should not receive all the credit nor
35、the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman splace is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyzeman s place in the home and to insist that he does have aplace on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthydevelopment of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for whi
36、ch it isdifficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to workout its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism (命 令 主 义 ) has unhappyconsequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and theideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent(相 关 的 ， 切 题 的 )
