This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up(堆积起来), slow down instead of 36 . Practice these 37 in your everyday life, and you will find yourself being on your journey to simplification(简单). When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 38 that you didn’t even know you had before. Just imagine: you are at a fair (牲畜市场) and you have to 39 two heavy pigs over 100 meters. If you keep 40 one and then the other, it will take a long time, 41 one of them will keep slipping(溜) out of your hand and 42 . But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your 43 , make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back, get 44 one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, and then you can be sure of success. The stress of work is now 45 almost in all occupations. In the modern family, the stress that was previously 46 among all the relatives is now 47 on the every work partner. If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day is not 48 then it’s not because the day has too 49 hours, but because you have too many activities. This is a simple fact is that 50 people tend to forget. The 51 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many tasks. “I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given more—until one day they 52 . Pay careful attention to the signs(征兆) that tell you that you are under more stress than you can 53 . These signs come from various 54 of life. You are afraid that you are ill, or your work efficiency(效率) is 55 . If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and reduce your tolerance(容忍) of stress. Say openly, “I can’t manage that.” 36. A. bringing up B. taking up C. giving up D. speeding up 37.

However, if you are after relaxation, peaceful country walks, beautiful architecture and opportunities for cultural appreciation on your next trip across the pond, consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village instead. Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to stay in each. Eze in Cota D’Azur, France Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist destination, and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is particularly popular with couples looking for romantic solitude. Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre Baden-Baden in Wurttemberg, Germany Germany’s best-known spa town, Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden-Wurttemberg, has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era. And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists, there are also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches. Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies. Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century, the village features a handful of churches and public squares. Hotel pick: Etruria Resort Oia in Santorini, Greece Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. This oft-photographed cliffside town is best known as a sunset-viewing spot, but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its abundance of typical whitewashed structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out onto the Aegean Sea. Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki 56. Which village will newly-married couples most possibly choose to spend their honeymoon? A. Oia. B. Baden-Baden. C. Montepulciano. D. Eze. 57. The visit to Montepulciano will be different from other three because ______. A. you can appreciate Renaissance architecture B. you can enjoy a beautiful sunset view C. you can have a spa treatment D. you can overlook Mediterranean Sea 58. You probably find this passage in ______. A. Times B. National Geography C. Readers’ Digest (读者文摘) D. Economist (经济学人) B It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.” By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.” At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. 59．What does the author intend to tell us? A． One can never be too careful. B． Actions speak louder than words. C． A small act of kindness brings a great joy. D． Love begins with a little smile. 60．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A． The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson. B． Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support. C． Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller. D． The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture. 61 ． The underlined word “intimidated” in the third paragraph probably means “___________”. A． frightened B． astonished C． struck D． excited 62．What would be the best title for the passage? A． Mother’s Day B． Flower Power C． An Accidental Injury D． An Embarrassing Moment C If you want to get healthy or stay healthy, there is one easy activity to add to your day—walking. “Walking is the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.” Says Thomas Friedman. Friedman is the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. And he is not alone in considering walking a great exercise. Walking may be as good for us as running. Walking requires no special skills or equipment. You can do it anywhere. It fits easily into your daily schedule. You can walk at work. You can park farther away from a store entrance, and then walk into the store. You can also take the stairs instead of the elevator. So, walking lowers your risk of high blood pressure and other diseases. But many other studies have found that walking benefits the body and mind in other ways. On one hand, regular fast walking not only helps you keep a healthily weight but also keeps your joints (关节) healthy. Most of the material that makes up our joints has no direct blood supply. Our joints get nutrition from joint fluid（液体）as we move. When you walk, your joints get this “life-giving fluid. “which means they stay stronger. On the other hand, walking sharpens your mind. Researchers studied 6,000 women aged 65 and older. They found that age-related memory loss was lower for those who walked more and even walking. Indoors or outdoors, improved the ability to think creatively and solve problems. Best of all, you can easily change where, when and how you walk. You can walk with your friends, co-workers, family or your dog or you can walk alone. The faster, farther and more often you walk, the greater the benefits 63. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Walking is good for people. B. Some special skills for walking. C. We can do walking anywhere. D. Modern people like walking anywhere. 64. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to your . A. Memories B. joints C. body and mind D. blood pressure and other diseases 65. Which of the following is the physical benefit of walking? A. Improving memory. B. Avoiding getting high blood pressure. C. Sharpening the mind D. Keeping a healthy weight. 66. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text? A. To encourage people to walk. B. To introduce some walking places. C. To tell about the advantages and disadvantages of walking. D. To persuade people to change where, when and how they walk. D A university in southwest China's Chongqing City set up a reading room as part of a campaign that stops students from taking their mobile phones with them in case the device distracts（使分心）them from concentrating on their studies. Reportedly a student named Hu Xiaopeng participating in the campaign studied 530 minutes without using his mobile phone. Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes.“Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university. Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room."Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call," said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time.Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said,"It's bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying." The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago. Some Internet users praised the campaign. One user named Liu Jingchang said, "It's good. I don’t bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted." 67. Why is the reading room opened in Chongqing City? A. To prevent students using mobile phones in the library. B. To help students focus on their studies. C. To prevent the mobile phones from being stolen. D. To encourage students to read more books. 68. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The bags are on the desk near the students. B. The time when the mobile phones are put in the bags is recorded. C. The student will be informed if a stranger calls him. D. Hu Xiaopeng thinks the campaign is a bad idea. 69. What is the attitude of the students toward the reading room? A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious. 70. What is the best title for the passage? A. New methods to attract students to read. B. The harm of mobile phones. C. A student studying nearly nine hours without using the mobile phone. D. Students are encouraged to study with their mobile phones. 第二节： 七 选 五（10 分，每题 2 分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips on Young Adult Life As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes.
