As
computers
become
more
popular
in
China,
Chinese
people
are
increasingly
depending
on
computer
keyboards
to
input
Chinese
characters.
But
if
they
use
the
computer
too
much,
they
may
end
up
forgetting
the
exact
strokes
of
each
Chinese
character
when
writing
on
paper.
Experts
suggest
people,
especially
students,
write
by
hand
more.
Do
you
write
by
hand
more
or
type
more?
In
Beijing,
students
start
using
a
computer
as
early
as
primary
school.
And
computer
dependence
is
more
widely
spread
among
university
students.
Almost
all
their
assignment
and
essays
are
typed
on
a
computer.
All
the
students
interviewed
say
they
usually
use
a
computer.
It’s
faster
and
easier
to
correct
if
using
a
computer.
And
that’s
why
computers
are
being
applied
more
and
more
often
to
modern
education.
But
when
people
are
taking
stock
in
computers
increasingly,
problems
appear.
“When
I’m
writing
with
a
pen,
I
find
I
often
can’t
remember
how
to
write
a
character,
though
I
feel
I’m
familiar
with
it.”
“I’m
not
in
the
mood
to
write
when
faced
with
a
pen
and
paper.”
Many
students
don’t
feel
this
is
something
to
worry
about.
Now
that
it’s
more
convenient
and
efficient
to
write
on
a
computer,
why
bother
to
handwrite?
Many
educators
think
differently.
Shi
Liwei,
headmaster
of
a
famous
primary
school
in
the
capital
said,
“Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic
value.
But
those
characters
typed
with
computer
keyboards
only
maintain
their
practical
value.
All
the
artistic
beauty
of
the
characters
is
lost.
And
handwriting
contains
the
writer’s
emotion.
Through
one’s
handwriting,
people
can
get
to
know
one’s
thinking
and
personality.
Beautiful
writing
will
give
people
a
better
first
impression
of
them.”
To
encourage
students
to
handwrite
more,
many
primary
schools
in
Beijing
have
made
writing
classes
compulsory（必修的）and
in
universities,
some
professors
are
asking
students
to
turn
in
their
homework
and
essays
written
by
hand.
4.
The
underlined
expression
“taking
stock
in”
in
paragraph
4
probably
means______.
A.
getting
bored
with
B.
getting
dependent
on
C.
becoming
crazy
about
D.
getting
curious
about
5.
The
students
interviewed
prefer
to
write
using
a
computer
mainly
because
___________.
A.
they
can
correct
the
mistakes
they
make
quickly
and
conveniently
B.
they
are
usually
asked
to
e-mail
their
homework
and
essays
C.
they
find
it
not
easy
to
remember
how
to
write
a
character
D
computers
have
become
a
trend
and
fashion
in
China
6.
Which
of
the
following
statement
is
NOT
true
of
the
advantage
of
handwriting?
A.
Handwriting
contains
the
writer’s
emotions.
B.
Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic
value.
C.
Handwriting
can
impress
people
well
and
build
one’s
self-confidence.
D.
The
writer’s
thinking
and
personality
are
shown
in
his
or
her
handwriting.
7.
Which
of
the
following
can
best
serve
as
the
title
of
the
passage?
A.
To
Type
or
to
Handwrite.
B.
The
Importance
of
Handwriting
and
Typing.
C.
Writing
by

Will
Replace

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。本文叙述了随着电脑在中国越来越受欢迎,中国人正越来越多地依靠计算机键盘输入汉字，文中论述了使用电脑打字和手写的各自的优缺点，为了鼓励孩子动手写字，一些学校已经采取了一些相应的措施。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线句下文“When
I’m
writing
with
a
pen,
I
find
I
often
can’t
remember
how
to
write
a
character,
though
I
feel
I’m
familiar
with
it.”“
当我用笔写字时，我发现我经常记不住怎么写一个角色，尽管我觉得我很熟悉它。”由此推知But
when
people
are
taking
stock
in
computers
increasingly,
problems
appear.“但当人们越来越多地依靠电脑时，问题就出现了。”中的划线部分的意思是“依赖，依靠”，故B项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段1,2行It's
faster
and
easier
to
correct
the
mistakes
if
using
a
computer.
And
that’s
why
computers
are
being
used
more
and
more
often
in
modern
education.说明电脑上很方便修改这是人们使用电脑的主要原因，故A正确。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Many
educators
think
differently.
Shi
Liwei
,
the
headmaster
of
a
famous
primary
school
in
the
capital
said,
“Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic
(审美的)
value.
But
those
characters
typed
with
computer
keyboards
only
maintain
their
practical
value.
All
the
artistic
beauty
of
the
characters
is
lost.
Besides,
handwriting
contains
the
writer's
emotion.
Through
one's
handwriting,
people
can
learn
one's
thinking
and
personality.
Beautiful
writing
will
give
people
a
better
first
impression.“许多教育家有不同的看法。北京一所著名小学的校长史立伟说:“汉字具有实用价值和审美价值。但这些用电脑键盘输入的字符只保留了它们的实用价值。所有的艺术美都消失了。此外，书法包含了作者的情感。通过书写，人们可以了解一个人的思想和性格。漂亮的文章会给人更好的第一印象。”说明ABD三项都是手写汉字的特点，只有C项文章没有提及，故C正确。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是现在随着电脑越来越流行，中国的学生在汉字书写方面出了很大的问题，引起了人们的担心，因此进行了一系列的活动来锻炼学生的书写能力。可知，A项To
Type
or
to
Handwrite.“打字或手写。”
是文章最佳主题。故A正确。
【点睛】做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。然后带着问题，再读全文，找出答题所需要的依据，完成阅读任务。本题第4小题，通过细读首段和每一段的首句或尾句，可知本文主要讲述的是现在随着电脑越来越流行，中国的学生在汉字书写方面出了很大的问题，引起了人们的担心。为了鼓励孩子动手写字，一些学校已经采取了一些相应的措施，故A正确。

The
world’s
first
subway
was
built
in
London
in
1863.
At
the
time,
the
government
was
looking
for
a
way
to
reduce
traffic
problems
in
the
city
of
London.
The
poor
areas
of
the
city
were
so
crowded
with
people
that
it
was
almost
impossible
for
horse
carriages
to
get
through.
The
city
officials
were
interested
in
trying
to
make
it
possible
for
workers
to
live
outside
of
London
and
travel
easily
to
work
each
day.
If
people
had
a
cheap
and
convenient
way
that
they
could
depend
on
to
go
to
and
from
work,
they
would
relocate
their
homes
outside
of
the
city.
This
would
help
ease(减轻)
the
pressure
of
too
many
people
living
in
the
poor
parts
of
London.
From
these
problems,
the
idea
of
the
London
Underground,
the
first
subway
system,
was
born.
The
plans
for
building
the
Underground
met
with
several
problems
and
delays,
but
the
fast
track
was
finally
opened
in
January
1863.
A
steam
train
pulled
the
cars
along
the
fast
underground
track
which
was
6
kilometers
(3.7
miles)
long.
About
30，000
people
got
on
the
subway
the
first
day.
Riders
were
treated
to
comfortable
seats
(standing
up
while
the
train
was
moving
was
not
allowed),
and
pleasant
decorations
inside
each
of
the
cars.
However,
the
smoke
from
the
engine
soon
filled
the
air
in
the
tunnels(隧道)
with
ash
and
soot(煤灰),
as
well
as
chemical
gases.
Fans
had
to
be
put
in
the
tunnels
later
to
keep
the
air
clean
enough
for
people
to
breathe.
Even
with
its
problems,
riding
in
the
Underground
did
catch
on.
It
carried
9
million
riders
in
its
first
year.
12.
What
led
the
British
government
to
build
the
London
Underground？
A.
Traffic
jams
and
pollution.
B.
Population
and
pollution.
C.
Overcrowding
and
traffic
jams(堵塞).
D.
The
poverty
and
subway
problems.
13.
How
did
the
London
Underground
solve
the
smoke
problem？
A.
It
made
the
tunnels
larger.
B.
It
put
fans
in
the
tunnels.
C.
It
cleaned
the
chemical
gases
in
the
tunnels.
D.
It
reduced
the
number
of
passengers
riding
in
the
train.
14.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE？
A.
To
relocate
the
workers’
homes
outside
London,
the
government
built
the
subway.
B.
There
were
so
many
problems
and
delays
that
in
18th
century
the
first
subway
opened.
C.
The
subway
greatly
eased
the
pressure
of
traffic.
D.
There
were
not
enough
seats
for
the
passengers
the
first
day
the
subway
opened.

the
writer

语法填空
Stress:
Good
or
Bad?
Stress
used
to
be
an
almost
unknown
word,
but
now
that
we
are
used
to
talking
about
it,
I
have
found
that
people
are
beginning
to
get
stressed
about
being
stressed.
In
recent
years,
stress
____41____(regard)
as
a
cause
of
a
whole
range
of
medical
problems,
from
high
blood
pressure
to
mental
illness.
But
like
so
many
other
things,
it
is
only
too
much
stress
____42____
does
you
harm.
It
is
time
you
considered
that
if
there
were
no
stress
in
your
life,
you
would
achieve
a
little.
If
you
are
stuck
at
home
with
no
stress,
then
your
level
of
performance
will
be
low.
Up
to
a
certain
point,
the
more
stress
you
are
under,
the
____43____(good)
your
performance
will
be.
Beyond
a
certain
point,
though,
further
stress
will
only
lead
to
exhaustion,
illness
and
finally
a
breakdown.
You
can
tell
when
you
are
over
the
top
and
on
the
downward
slope,
by
asking
yourself
____44____
number
of
questions.
Do
you,
for
instance,
feel
that
too
much
is
being
expected
of
____45____,
and
yet
find
it
impossible
to
say
no?
Do
you
find
yourself
getting
impatient
or
____46____(annoy)
with
people
over
unimportant
things?
If
the
answer
to
all
those
questions
is
yes,
you
had
better
____47____(control
)
your
stress,
as
you
probably
are
under
more
stress
than
is
good
for
you.
To
some
extent
you
can
control
the
amount
of
stress
in
your
life.
Doctors

Getting

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们压力成为了我们生活中常见的一个词，一定范围之内的压力能促进我们的工作，但一旦压力过大，就会给我们的生活带来很多负面的影响。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，压力被认为是一系列健康问题的原因，从高血压到精神疾病。本句的时间状语是
In
recent
years最近几年以来，该时间状语通常和现在完成时连用，且句子主语stress与动词regard构成被动关系，所以使用现在完成时的动语态形式，且主语stress是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数，故填has
been
regarded。
【42题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：但是就像很多其他事情一样，只是压力太大对你有害。强调句型的基本结构为It
is/was
+
被强调成分
+
that/who
+
其它成分。其最大的特点是去掉It
is/was
和
that/who，句子仍然成立。分析句子可知，本句是强调句型，强调的是句子的主语only
too
much
stress。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：在某种程度上，你承受的压力越大，你的表现就会越好。“the+
比较级，
the+比较级”意为“越……就越……”。所以本空使用
good
的比较级形式
better
。故填better
。
【44题详解】
考查冠词和固定短语。句意：你可以通过问自己几个问题来判断自己何时处于最佳状态，何时处于低谷。a
number
of
许多，大量；该短语通常作定语修饰可数名词复数形式，本句中使用a
number
of
修饰可数名词复数形式questions。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：例如，你是否觉得别人对你的期望太高，而你却不可能说“不”?介词of后接人称代词宾格，根据句意，由主语you可知，故填you。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：你是否发现自己在无关紧要的事情上变得不耐烦或烦恼?
annoyed“恼怒的”，该词是由过去分词转换而来的形容词，通常修饰人，表示人的感受。本句中该词和
impatient
构成并列关系一起和系动词get构成系表结构，用形容词作表语。故填annoyed
。
【47题详解】
考查动词。句意：如果所有这些问题的答案都是肯定的，那么你最好控制你的压力，因为你可能承受的压力比对你有利的压力更大。had
better
do
sth.“最好做某事”是固定用法，接动词原形，故填control。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：医生们制作了一个图表，显示不同事件中所涉及到的压力。分析句子可知，谓语动词是“have
worked
out”，故show用非谓语动词形式，句中逻辑主语a
chart与show之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填showing。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意：医生们制作了一个图表，显示不同事件中所涉及到的压力。event“事件”是可数名词，由various修饰用复数，故填events。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你生活中的总压力超过150，你生病的可能性就会增加一倍。be
likely
to
do
sth
.“很可能做某事”，接不定式。故填to
get
。

feel
betray
by
my
friend
Hannah.
On
Monday,
we
had
a
surprise
math
quiz.
I
must
have
sounded
very
proud
of
me
after
the
quiz,
saying
what
easy
it
was.
The
next
day
after
class,
my
math
teacher
told
me
that
I
had
lowest
grade
in
the
class.
I
was
very
upset
that
I
felt
like
crying.
I
thought
that
Hannah
should
have
told
my
classmates
about
my
grade
after
promise
not
to.
I
was
so
angry
that
I
went
straight
to
Hannah
and
told
her
we
weren’t
going
to
be
friends
any
more
because
she
couldn’t
keep
her
words.
She
was
really
upset
and
swore
that
she
hasn’t
told
anyone,but
I
didn’t
believe
her
explanation.
I
don’t
think
I
can
ever
truly
forgive
to
her.
【答案】1.betray→betrayed
2.me→myself
3.what→how
4.lowest→the
lowest
5.very→so
6.should→must
7.promise→promising
8.words→word
9.hasn’t→hadn’t
10.forgive
to
her→forgive
her
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了作者和好朋友之间的一次误会，作者有一次考试中数学考试得了班级最低分，她不想让其他的同学知道她的考试成绩，但是只告诉她的好朋友，让她保守秘密，可是第二天其他的同学都知道了这事，作者认为是她的好朋友泄露了秘密，从此两个人再也不说话了，可是作者现在有点后悔。
【详解】1.考查过去分词。句意：我觉得被我的朋友Hannah出卖了。feel
+过去分词，“感到……”，故把betray改成betrayed。
2.考查反身代词。句意：在测验结束后，我一定为我感到非常自豪，并说这是多么容易。主语与宾语指同一事物，要用主语的反身代词做宾语，意思是“某人以自己而自豪”。故把me改成myself。
3.考查宾语从句引导词。句意：在测验结束后，我一定为我感到非常自豪，并说这是多么容易。此处easy是形容词，用how修饰，引导宾语从句，故把what改成how。
4.考查最高级。形容词最高级前定冠词the，故lowest前加the
。
5.考查结果状语从句。句意：我很难过，我想哭。此处是so---that引导的结果状语从句，故把very改成so。
6.考查情态动词。句意：我以为Hannah一定是在答应了以后告诉我的同学我的成绩的。should
have
done“本应该做而没有做”；must
have
done“一定是做某事了”，表示对过去事情有把握的肯定推测。故把should改成must。
7.考查动名词。此处after是介词，后面用动名词做宾语，故把promise改成promising。
8.考查固定词组。keep
one’s
word“遵守诺言”，故把words改成word。
9.考查时态。句意：她很生气，发誓说她没有告诉任何人，但我不相信她的解释。此处tell的动作发生在swore的前面，所以要用过去完成时态，故把hasn’t改成hadn’t。
10.考查及物动词。此处forgive（原谅）是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，故把forgive
to
her改成forgive
her。
【点睛】情态动词+
have
done结构：
1.“must
+
have
+
过去分词”表示对过去发生的事情或状态进行推测,语气比较坚定,通常只用于肯定句.如：It
must
have
rained
last
night,for
the
ground
is
wet.
2.“can
/
could
+
have
+
过去分词”表示对过去某种情况的怀疑或不确定.can和could一般用于否定句和疑问句,could的语气较can弱.如：He
can't
have
finished
the
work
so
soon.
3.“may
/
might
+
have
+
过去分词”表示对已发生动作或存在的状态进行不肯定的推测,might的语气比may弱一点.这种结构主要用于肯定句和否定句,疑问句改用can或could.如：They
may
not
have
known
it
beforehand.
4.“need
+
have
+
过去分词”表示过去做了不必做或不需要做的事情,或过去做某事纯属多余.如：I
needn't
have
bought
so
much
wine—only
five
people
came.
5.“should
/
ought
to
+
have
+
过去分词”表示过去本该做某事但没做,其否定式表示过去不该做某事但做了,这种句式含有不满或责备之意,ought
to的语气比should强一些.如：
You
ought
to
/
should
have
studied
harder.你本应该更努力学习的.（但没有）
He
oughtn't
to
/
shouldn't
have
done
that.他本来就不该做那件事.（可是做了）
6.“would
＋
have
＋
过去分词”表示对过去的某种情况进行猜测,或本来要做某事却因某种原因未做成,通常用来说明某一情况,但不像用should或ought
to那样含有责备之意.如：
I
guess
the
poet
would
have
been
about
twenty
when
she
wrote
her
first
poem.
Another
worker
wouldn't
have
acted
like
that.

【答案】What
will
life
be
like
without
animals
Animals
are
close
friends
of
human
beings.
Their
existence,
especially
the
existence
of
rare
animals
makes
the
whole
world
lively
and
colorful.
Unfortunately,
we
heard
such
news
recently
that
rare
animals,
even
kept
in
the
zoo,
couldn’t
escape
being
hurt
and
killed,
at
which
we
can
feel
nothing
but
shocked.
The
reason
why
it
happened
is
that
some
people
lack
understanding
about
these
animals
and
caring
for
them.
Therefore,
we
should
study
and
publicize
the
information
about
rare
animals,
and
keep
it
in
mind
that
protecting
animals
is
the
duty
of
everyone.
At
the
same
time,
we
should
take
active
and
effective
measures.
After
all,
protecting
animals
is
protecting
ourselves.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于说明文，要求考生介绍保护珍稀动物的意义及必要性。
【详解】1.词汇积累
避免/逃脱：avoid→escape
惊讶的/震惊的：astonished→shocked
宣扬/传播：post→publicize
记住：remember
that…→keep
it
in
mind
that…

As
computers
become
more
popular
in
China,
Chinese
people
are
increasingly
depending
on
computer
keyboards
to
input
Chinese
characters.
But
if
they
use
the
computer
too
much,
they
may
end
up
forgetting
the
exact
strokes
of
each
Chinese
character
when
writing
on
paper.
Experts
suggest
people,
especially
students,
write
by
hand
more.
Do
you
write
by
hand
more
or
type
more?
In
Beijing,
students
start
using
a
computer
as
early
as
primary
school.
And
computer
dependence
is
more
widely
spread
among
university
students.
Almost
all
their
assignment
and
essays
are
typed
on
a
computer.
All
the
students
interviewed
say
they
usually
use
a
computer.
It’s
faster
and
easier
to
correct
if
using
a
computer.
And
that’s
why
computers
are
being
applied
more
and
more
often
to
modern
education.
But
when
people
are
taking
stock
in
computers
increasingly,
problems
appear.
“When
I’m
writing
with
a
pen,
I
find
I
often
can’t
remember
how
to
write
a
character,
though
I
feel
I’m
familiar
with
it.”
“I’m
not
in
the
mood
to
write
when
faced
with
a
pen
and
paper.”
Many
students
don’t
feel
this
is
something
to
worry
about.
Now
that
it’s
more
convenient
and
efficient
to
write
on
a
computer,
why
bother
to
handwrite?
Many
educators
think
differently.
Shi
Liwei,
headmaster
of
a
famous
primary
school
in
the
capital
said,
“Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic
value.
But
those
characters
typed
with
computer
keyboards
only
maintain
their
practical
value.
All
the
artistic
beauty
of
the
characters
is
lost.
And
handwriting
contains
the
writer’s
emotion.
Through
one’s
handwriting,
people
can
get
to
know
one’s
thinking
and
personality.
Beautiful
writing
will
give
people
a
better
first
impression
of
them.”
To
encourage
students
to
handwrite
more,
many
primary
schools
in
Beijing
have
made
writing
classes
compulsory（必修的）and
in
universities,
some
professors
are
asking
students
to
turn
in
their
homework
and
essays
written
by
hand.
4.
The
underlined
expression
“taking
stock
in”
in
paragraph
4
probably
means______.
A.
getting
bored
with
B.
getting
dependent

becoming
crazy
about
D.

students
interviewed

quickly
and
conveniently
B.
they
are
usually

C.
they

a

D.
computers
have
become
a

and

in
China

Which
of
the
following
statement
is
NOT
true
of
the
advantage

The
world’s
first
subway
was
built
in
London
in
1863.
At
the
time,
the
government
was
looking
for
a
way
to
reduce
traffic
problems
in
the
city
of
London.
The
poor
areas
of
the
city
were
so
crowded
with
people
that
it
was
almost
impossible
for
horse
carriages
to
get
through.
The
city
officials
were
interested
in
trying
to
make
it
possible
for
workers
to
live
outside
of
London
and
travel
easily
to
work
each
day.
If
people
had
a
cheap
and
convenient
way
that
they
could
depend
on
to
go
to
and
from
work,
they
would
relocate
their
homes
outside
of
the
city.
This
would
help
ease(减轻)
the
pressure
of
too
many
people
living
in
the
poor
parts
of
London.
From
these
problems,
the
idea
of
the
London
Underground,
the
first
subway
system,
was
born.
The
plans
for
building
the
Underground
met
with
several
problems
and
delays,
but
the
fast
track
was
finally
opened
in
January
1863.
A
steam
train
pulled
the
cars
along
the
fast
underground
track
which
was
6
kilometers
(3.7
miles)
long.
About
30，000
people
got
on
the
subway
the
first
day.
Riders
were
treated
to
comfortable
seats
(standing
up
while
the
train
was
moving
was
not
allowed),
and
pleasant
decorations
inside
each
of
the
cars.
However,
the
smoke
from
the
engine
soon
filled
the
air
in
the
tunnels(隧道)
with
ash
and
soot(煤灰),
as
well
as
chemical
gases.
Fans
had
to
be
put
in
the
tunnels
later
to
keep
the
air
clean
enough
for
people
to
breathe.
Even
with
its
problems,
riding
in
the
Underground
did
catch
on.
It
carried
9
million
riders
in
its
first
year.
12.
What
led
the
British
government
to
build
the
London
Underground？
A.
Traffic
jams
and
pollution.
B.
Population
and
pollution.
C.
Overcrowding
and
traffic
jams(堵塞).
D.
The
poverty
and
subway
problems.
13.
How
did
the
London
Underground
solve
the
smoke
problem？
A.
It
made
the
tunnels
larger.
B.
It
put
fans
in
the
tunnels.
C.
It
cleaned
the
chemical
gases
in
the
tunnels.
D.
It
reduced
the
number
of
passengers
riding
in
the
train.
14.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE？
A.
To
relocate
the
workers’
homes
outside
London,
the
government
built
the
subway.
B.
There
were
so
many
problems
and
delays
that
in
18th
century
the
first
subway
opened.
C.
The
subway
greatly
eased
the
pressure
of
traffic.
D.
There
were
not
enough
seats
for
the
passengers
the
first
day
the
subway
opened.

about
_________.
A.

goes.
___17___
Instead,

the
goal
means
to
you,
you
will
be
able
to
ignore
temporary
temptations
for
long
term
gain.
The
above-mentioned
self-discipline
techniques
have

“I
don’t

to
get
involved”
seems
to
have

motto.

about
the
hitchhiker（搭便车的人）,
about
how
I
didn’t
even
lift
my
foot
___25___
the
accelerator（油门）for
him.
“Does
anyone
stop
any
more?”
I
wondered.
I
recalled

DuBois’s

line—
“I
have
always
depended
on
the
kindness
of
strangers.”
Was
that
___26___
these
days?

the

on
the
good

states.
I
was
treated
kindly
____32____

was
____33____
by

Oregon,
a
house
painter
named
Mike
_____34_____
the
cold

asked
if
I
had
a
coat.

didn’t,

jacket.
A
lumber-mill
worker
in
Michigan
named

Then

Stress:
Good
or
Bad?
Stress
used
to
be
an
almost
unknown
word,
but
now
that
we
are
used
to
talking
about
it,
I
have
found
that
people
are
beginning
to
get
stressed
about
being
stressed.
In
recent
years,
stress
____41____(regard)
as
a
cause
of
a
whole
range
of
medical
problems,
from
high
blood
pressure
to
mental
illness.
But
like
so
many
other
things,
it
is
only
too
much
stress
____42____
does
you
harm.
It
is
time
you
considered
that
if
there
were
no
stress
in
your
life,
you
would
achieve
a
little.
If
you
are
stuck
at
home
with
no
stress,
then
your
level
of
performance
will
be
low.
Up
to
a
certain
point,
the
more
stress
you
are
under,
the
____43____(good)
your
performance
will
be.
Beyond
a
certain
point,
though,
further
stress
will
only
lead
to
exhaustion,
illness
and
finally
a
breakdown.
You
can
tell
when
you
are
over
the
top
and
on
the
downward
slope,
by
asking
yourself
____44____
number
of
questions.
Do
you,
for
instance,
feel
that
too
much
is
being
expected
of
____45____,
and
yet
find
it
impossible
to
say
no?
Do
you
find
yourself
getting
impatient
or
____46____(annoy)
with
people
over
unimportant
things?
If
the
answer
to
all
those
questions
is
yes,
you
had
better
____47____(control
)
your
stress,
as
you
probably
are
under
more
stress
than
is
good
for
you.
To
some
extent
you
can
control
the
amount
of
stress
in
your
life.
Doctors
have
worked
out
a
chart
___48___(show)
how
much
stress
is
involved
in
various
____49____(
event).
Getting
married
is
50,
pregnancy
40,
moving
house
20,
Christmas
12,etc.
If
the
total
stress
in
your
life
is
over
150,
you
are
twice
as

feel
betray
by
my
friend
Hannah.
On
Monday,
we
had
a
surprise
math
quiz.
I
must
have
sounded
very
proud
of
me
after
the
quiz,
saying
what
easy
it
was.
The
next
day
after
class,
my
math
teacher
told
me
that
I
had
lowest
grade
in
the
class.
I
was
very
upset
that
I
felt
like
crying.
I
thought
that

have
told
my

about
my
grade
after

not
to.
I
was
so
angry
that
I
went
straight
to
Hannah
and
told
her
we
weren’t
going
to
be
friends
any
more
because
she
couldn’t
keep
her
words.
She
was
really
upset
