11、less you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with
12、anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.For years many doctors thought that controlling ones anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain lets out the same
13、 hormones that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, and narrow the blood vessels. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.Doctors said that controlling these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical p
14、roblems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger too often and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cau
15、se medical problems.Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.D
16、octors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your
17、anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”26. Which of the following is the more recent view about the expression of anger? A. It is dangerous both to express anger violently and to control ones anger. B. One can avoid his medical problems by expressing his an
18、ger freely. C. Ones heart rate will not change if his anger is kept unexpressed. D. One is likely to suffer from high blood pressure in a fit of great anger.27. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake of health?来源:Z。xx。k.Com A. Controlling your anger and then studying i
19、ts cause. B. Letting out your anger freely and then studying its cause. C. Studying its cause and waiting till it cools down. D. Waiting till it has cooled down and then studying its cause.28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Different Ways of Dealing with Anger B. The Dan
20、ger of Anger and Its Solution C. New Medical Discoveries about Anger D. An Argument between the New and Old Views about AngerB“I find myself glancing at my watch to see how long Ive been standing in line,” she said. “Everywhere I go, I notice if the dumpster(垃圾罐)gates are open or if theres trash in
21、the parking lot.” Ms. Clark is a “mystery shopper”, one of thousands of contract workers that companies hire to pretend as regular customers in order to judge customer service, cleanliness and whether a store is selling a product that meets company specifications (规格). Mystery shoppers can be found
22、or, rather, not found, everywhere from restaurants and automotive shops to convenience stores and department stores. They play a constant cat-and-mouse game with store and restaurant employees and managers. However, its not all fun and games. Once in the field, a mystery shopper will typically visit
23、 several stores or restaurants per hour, taking mental notes while inside, then jotting down physical notes after they leave.Its important for mystery shoppers to be as exact as possible, because the client companies are looking for data they can use to improve their service. The questionnaire wont
24、say, “Does the trash can need to be emptied?” What an educated shopper will say is, “The trash can to the left of the front door was overflowing with 10 pieces of trash on the ground.” Companies dont need opinion but facts.Nowadays mystery shoppers are armed with a number of high-tech devices, such
25、as a digital scale and a digital thermometer, as well as a handheld PC for recording the entire experience. Its a challenging job but a rewarding one. Mystery shoppers can be full time or part time, but the full-time workers tend to stick to standard mystery shopping while part-timers often choose t
26、he less complex reward-based programs. In those , the shoppers stay disguised(装扮的) only until the “shop” is finished, and then reveal (透漏) themselves to the store management and award prizes to employees who provided excellent service.To be a mystery shopper, its important to be a good observer, but
27、 sometimes its important to have the right profile(外表), too. Companies often hire shoppers from particular backgrounds to better blend in with clients regular customers. If a secret shopper will be sent in, for example, to do a high-end automotive shop, the candidate must have a particular profile t
28、hat meets a high-end, luxury car-type buyer profile. “Its a challenge to perform your shop without being discovered,” Ms. Clark said, “because most of the people that we work for are very aware of the mystery shopping program.”29. According to the text a “mystery shopper” would not have to .A. sign
29、a contract with the employer B. travel a lot around the city C. provide exact facts to the company D. fill in questionnaires 30. We learn from the text that Ms. Clark .A. visits some shops regularly and sometimes does something special B. pretends to be a shopper and evaluates the services C. is a g
30、overnment official looking into the services D. is a manager of a company offering good services 31. People are willing to become a mystery shopper mainly because they can .A. get the best service and get paid at the same time B. play a cat-and-mouse game with shop employees and managers C. do the j
31、ob either full time or part time and get paid well D. observe clearly what happens in the shops 32. What does the underlined word “those” in the 4th paragraph refer to?A. The shops where the mystery shoppers go. B. The less complex reward-based programs.C. Part-time jobs. D. Excellent services.COne
32、of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a doctors salary will be higher than a bus conductors wage. But the question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, say, a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oil-rig(
33、钻油机) in the North Sea with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the engineer and teacher have is many years of training in order to obtain the necessary qualifications for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years, when they were studying instead of earn
34、ing money, should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oil-rig laborer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a mans work is, regardless of th
35、e talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than, say, selling secondhand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet it is almost certain that the used car salesman earns more than the nurse
36、, and that research chemist earns more than the school teacher.Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that a man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called “psychic(精神的) wage”,
37、 and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying monotony(单调) of his work. It is significant that that those jobs which are traditionally regarded as “vocations” - nursing, teaching and the Church, for example - continue to be poorly pai
38、d, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.Although the amount of money that people earn is in reality largely determined by market forces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what
39、is the right pay for the job. A starting point for such an investigation would be to try to decide the ratio which ought to exist between the highest and the lowest paid. The picture is made more complicate by two factors: firstly by the “social wage”, i.e, the welfare benefits which every citizen r
40、eceives; and secondly, by the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justice by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Allowing for these two things, most countries now regard a ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable. If it is less, the highly-qualified people carrying
41、 heavy responsibilities become disillusioned, and might even end up by emigration(移民) (the so-called “brain-drain” is an evidence that this can happen). If it is more, the gap between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead social tensions and ultimately to violence.33. The professional man
42、, such as the doctor, should be well paid because _.A. he has spent several years learning how to do his jobB. his work involves much great intelligence than, say, a bus conductorsC. he has to work much harder than most other people D. he knows more than other people about his subject34. The “brain-
43、drain” is an evidence that _.A. well-educated people are prepared to emigrate whenever they can get a better paid jobB. people with jobs or responsibility expect to be highly paidC. high taxation is a useful and effective instrument of social justiceD. the poor are generally more patriotic(爱国的) than
44、 the rich35. As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, the writer, believes that _.A. we should pay for socially-useful work, regardless of the persons talentB. we should pay people according to their talentsC. market forces will determine how much a person is paidD. qualified people s
45、hould be the highest paid36. The argument of the “psychic wage” is used to explain why _.A. people who do socially important work are not always well paidB. people who do monotonous jobs are highly paidC. you should not try to compare the pay of different professionsD. some professional people are p
46、aid more than othersD A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact
47、, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals（哺乳动物）have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johns
48、on, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules（分子）in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson sai
49、d.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygena dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. H
50、owever, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone（荷尔蒙）even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung d
51、iseases and disorders such as anemia（贫血症）without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen te
52、nts. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “Its hard to say what exactly might be done, howevertheres a lot we dont know yet,” Johnson explained.The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of
53、the journal Cell.37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors may also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D. It has long
54、 been expected oxygen sensors exist in mices skin.38. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB. improving athletes performanceC. detecting oxygenD. increasing level of oxygen39. What is Johnsons attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes training?A. NegativeB. Doubting C. PositiveD. Hesitating40. The best title of the passage may be _.A. Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot B. Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC. First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin D. Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin
