Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night
2、, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 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 as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only w
3、hen the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44 and ill health. The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first
4、 sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, bu

Since we cant 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. 41. C 42. A 43.

For years, scientists have worked hard to understand the changes that happen to them. Th
7、ey find that three factors 41 falls colorful farewell leaf pigments (色素), length of night, and weather. The timing of the color change is mainly regulated by the increasing length of night. None of the other 42 influences, such as temperature, rainfall, food supply, are as unchanging as the 43 incre

And Nature puts on one of its most splendid 45 of beauty.The timing of the color change 46 by species. Some species in southe
9、rn forests can become vividly colorful in late summer while all other species are still vigorously green. Oaks put on their colors long after other species have already shed their leaves. These differences in timing among species seem to be genetically 47 . for a particular species, whether on a hig

They have developed over the years a needle-like or scale-like foliage (绿叶植物). which is 48 with a heavy wax coati

So the leaves of evergreens can safely withstand (经受住) all but the most 49 winter conditions, such as those in the Arctic.41-49. HCABD FIEGIt is foolish to dream of reversing history.

In short, they will flourish（兴旺） because they enable us to finish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to improve ou

The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not, but rather, since we are going to have them, how can we make the most intelligent use of them?Obviously, there would be no point in investing in
15、 a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-c

19、uggests a picture of the “public schools”, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having
20、about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirtee
21、n to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton. Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary
22、 and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the grea
23、t majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. However, although the public schools a
24、re not important numerically, they have been Englands most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in bankin
